The Centre of African Economies is an interdisciplinary centre conducting research on contemporary economic dynamics in Africa, with a particular focus on:
- the nature, pace and outcomes of capitalist transformation processes unfolding across the African continent;
- who benefits and how those benefits are shared as well as how the distribution of economic benefits is contested and the implications for political instability;
- linkage between the regulation of economic transactions and state formation in African countries; and
- how commodification shapes relationships of humanitarianism and development and its impact on Africans.
