in englischer Sprache“Dieses Jahr werden wir eine der größten Errungenschaften der Menschheit feiern: wir werden den Triumph der Freiheit über Unterwerfung feiern, den Triumph der Demokratie über rassistische Tyrannei, den Triumph der Hoffnung über Verzweiflung.“ So beschrieb Cyril Ramaphosa, Präsident Südafrikas, das Ende der Apartheit und die Wahl von Nelson Mandela 1994. Doch was bedeutet diese Freiheit? In diesem Seminar wird das Verständnis von Freiheit und Sicherheit in ausgewählten afrikanischen Staaten untersucht. Ist der Freiheitsbegriff politisch verhandelbar? Sorgen Sicherheitskräfte in Afrika tatsächlich für Sicherheit oder sind sie unter gewissen Bedingungen Quelle für Unsicherheit?
