It provides a detailed and systematic understanding of how political institutions, processes and public policies operate and interact from the global political economy through to national and local levels with a direct focus on European engagements at these levels of governance. Inter-disciplinarity and practical application of conceptual knowledge are hallmarks of Mundus MAPP.

All participants on the platform (African PhD fellows and their supervisors) remain affiliated at their home universities, obtain their degrees from their own institution, and participate from abroad. Our platform aims to offer an additional service to both PhD student and supervisor, in the form of content training, access to resources and feedback.
The Platform
CoLA offers online training modules and online research support through our Moodle-based learning platform. The platform includes three pillars of services:
- Pillar one: Courses offering: Stand Alone and Tutored
- Pillar two: Repository of open Educational Resources

Security-Development-Migration Nexus
Dieses eLearning-Angebot ist das Ergebnis eines standortübergreifenden Ringseminars der Universitäten Freiburg, Tübingen, Mainz, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Marburg und Magdeburg im Sommersemester 2018, mit dem Ziel aus der Perspektive der Friedens- und Konfliktforschung Grundlagen, Akteure und Folgen diesen Nexus in neun Modulen zu erarbeiten und kritisch zu reflektieren.
Seminar für Wissenschaftliche Politik, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg
Im Zuge transnationaler Herausforderungen wie Terrorismus, Entwicklungsdefizite oder regionale Konflikte, sind Entwicklung und Sicherheit zentrale Bestandteile einer Afrikapolitik externer Akteure. Während traditionell eine starke Verbindung zwischen diesen beiden Politikfeldern, ein Nexus, besteht, der insbesondere um die Frage kreist, wie viel oder ob Sicherheit für Entwicklung notwendig ist, wird dieser Nexus seit kurzer Zeit um das Politikfeld Migration ergänzt. Die Asylkrise in der Europäischen Union hat dazu geführt, dass Afrika verstärkt aus einer Migrationsperpsektive in den Blick gerät. In diesem Zusammenhang fokussiert deutsche Außenpolitik vermehrt auf die Sahel Zone und Transitstaaten von Afrikanischer Migration, aber auch die Außenpolitik der EU oder Frankreichs weisen einen solchen Fokus auf. Diese neue Zielrichtungen generieren einen "security-development-migration nexus", indem die verschiedenen Politikfelder miteinander verwoben werden.Dieses eLearning-Angebot ist das Ergebnis eines standortübergreifenden Ringseminars der Universitäten Freiburg, Tübingen, Mainz, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Marburg und Magdeburg im Sommersemester 2018, mit dem Ziel aus der Perspektive der Friedens- und Konfliktforschung Grundlagen, Akteure und Folgen diesen Nexus in neun Modulen zu erarbeiten und kritisch zu reflektieren.
