The African Politics Conference Group (APCG) brings together scholars from around the world whose research and professional interests center largely or in part on the study of politics in Africa. APCG promotes recognition of the theoretical, empirical, and methodological contributions of its members within professional associations, media, and the general public. Recognizing historical imbalances, APCG also promotes the intellectual contributions of scholars in Africa and the diaspora and works to expand opportunities for their professional engagement and development.
