We are happy to promote the launch of a special issue of the "International Spectator" journal on Governance, Fragility and Insurgency in the Sahel: A Hybrid Political Order in the Making, guest edited by Morten Bøås and Francesco Strazzari.

Once a region that rarely featured in debates about global security, the Sahel has become increasingly topical as it confronts the international community with intertwined challenges related to climate variability, poverty, food insecurity, population displacement, transnational crime, contested statehood and jihadist insurgencies. Sahel is in fact a political order in the making, where extra-legal governance influences the nature of political competition and multiple threats challenge international stakeholders.
The special issue includes the following articles:
- Governance, Fragility and Insurgency in the Sahel: A Hybrid Political Order in the Making (Bøås & Strazzari)
- The Fragility Dilemma in the Sahel (Osland & Erstad)
- Counterinsurgency Practice in Niger and Nigeria (Berlingozzi & Stoddard)
- The Great Illusion: Security Sector Reform in the Sahel (Venturi & Touré)
- Al-Qaeda & Islamic State Clash in Central Mali (Baldaro & Diall)
- The Dangers of Disconnection: Oscillations in Political Violence on Lake Chad (Iocchi)
- Gold Mining in the Sahara- Sahel (Raineri)
- Insurgent Appropriation of Grievances in Niger (Bøås, Cissé & Mahamane)
