Gender: Crosscutting report

African Cities Consortium
Davis, K et al. - Global Development Institute (GDI)
Across urban African contexts, diverse youth experience specific barriers to accessing livelihoods, which poses significant constraints to exercising their agency. This experience is a context for particular forms of violence, both directed towards, and perpetrated by, young people in gendered ways. Despite this, there are limited analyses of the gender dimensions of the youth–security nexus in African cities, and a lack of research on how intersecting systems of power shape gendered relations, experiences and outcomes.

Controlling the Capital. Political Dominance in the Urbanizing World

Open access book
Tom Goodfellow, David Jackman (eds.) - Oxford Department of International Development, Queen Elizabeth House (ODID)
While most literature considers authoritarianism on the national scale, the chapters in this open access book train their gaze on capital cities, which as 'containers' of both capital and sovereignty are spaces in which authoritarian dominance is increasingly built, contested, maintained, and undone. Focusing on some of the world's fastest urbanizing regions - Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia - the book explores the multiple ways in which authoritarian regimes have been attempting to build and sustain long-term dominance in capital cities in order to meet the challenge of urban political resistance.
