  • POLITIQUE

This podcast exclusively focuses on politics. Why politics? First, it's the basis of policy. Second, I strongly believe that political enlightenment, empowerment and emancipation is the highest stage of human progress and self-development. In effect, this podcast aims to enlighten, empower and emancipate the listeners. Politics is a broad subject but this podcast presents analyses and commentary on the political economy of development, markets, economic/social policy, governance, economic diplomacy and geopolitics. It largely focuses on Africa.
