Submissions are invited for a special issue in the Journal of Contemporary African Studies aimed at enhancing public oversight of digital surveillance utilised for intelligence purposes, specifically relating to Africa. This special issue is derived from a research project directed by Prof. Jane Duncan, supported by a British Academy Global Professorship (2023-2027), which seeks to investigate public oversight mechanisms across eight Southern African nations: Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe. The papers should be original articles of no more than 8,000 words (including references) that contribute to these themes.
