In this seventh episode of Localization in World Politics, we are joined by Mohamed Sesay, Assistant Professor in the Department of Social Science at York University, who uses a post-colonial lens to interrogate and question how rule of law norms are be instrumentalized by political elites in Africa, and how the application of “apolitical” liberal norms can be used to mask domination and hegemony.

Localization in World Politics is edited and produced in Montreal/Tiohtià:ke, on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous peoples whose presence marks the territory from which we broadcast.
