“…While this doesn't mean that women in the AKP lack ambition, it implies that ambition needs to be communicated in legitimate party codes. This is not surprising since research from other contexts has shown that women in right-wing parties use discursive frames made available by the party ideology to make demands for greater representation (Shames, Och, Cooperman 2020: 3;Wineinger, Nugent 2020).…”

“…The extant literature on framing denotes a concept that is useful for analysing how issues or personalities are constructed (Boyer, et al, 2022; Heilman, 2022; Sikanku et al, 2023), meaning-making (Sclafani, 2015), the discursive portrayals (Colvin et al, 2020, pp. 84–98; Wineinger & Nugent, 2020, pp. 91–118) and symbolic representations (Fordjour & Sikanku, 2022).…”

This article takes a reflective turn by investigating Afrocentric representations in selected speeches of former US President Barack Obama through the framing analytic lens. While past research has yielded knowledge on the role of race in American politics and Obama’s identity construction, there is limited work on such representations within an Afrocentric perspective. It focuses on how Obama used his ethnic African heritage to frame his identity and politics. To be specific the study examined the presence of Afrocentric frames and predominant narratives present in selected Obama speeches. Most of Barack Obama’s communication can be viewed as a project of identity construction and dissemination. Four Afrocentric frames were unearthed. These include: (a) exceptionalism and African origins, (b) heritage and memories of a father, (c) communalism and (d) Africa and democracy. The current study contributes to research applications of the framing theory, identity construction and political image-making within the Afrocentric paradigm.

“…Established liberal democracies such as the United States (US), the United Kingdom (UK) and Canada have recorded a general increase in women's political representation in recent years (Wineinger and Nugent 2020). For instance, in 2014, an increase in the number of women in the US's congress and state legislatures saw them occupy 19 per cent and 24 per cent of the seats respectively.…”

The United Nations Development Programme states that women’s political participation is a necessary ingredient for a peaceful and resilient society, yet large gender gaps obstinately persist in many countries around the globe. With a focus on Nigeria and using an analysis of data from Nigeria’s 2015 and 2019 General Elections and Afrobarometer’s 2018 Nigeria Round 7 survey, this paper explores variations of women’s political participation across Southern and Northern Nigeria. In recent times, Northern Nigeria has experienced extensive conflict, and Southern Nigeria outperforms the north in terms of women’s education, participation in paid employment and control of earnings. Given these factors, conventional wisdom among policy actors and researchers would predict that women in Southern Nigeria should have considerably higher rates of political participation than those in Northern Nigeria. However, digging deeper into the available data on political participation, the paper suggests that factors such as education and employment do not predict the dimensions of women’s political participation or can predict the unexpected. The paper concludes that policymakers may need to look beyond these conventional factors when supporting programmes on women’s political participation in Nigeria. More research is needed into contextual factors to better understand what lies behind the varying levels of women’s political participation in Northern and Southern Nigeria.
