This issue coincides with the launch of the journal’s new website. It opens with a special section drawn from the 2018 IAPSS Academic Convention. Francisca Sassetti examines how citizen-led organizations in Kenya, Nigeria and Ghana use social media to crowdsource election monitoring, and what this means for electoral transparency. Baptiste Brodard shows how Islamic grassroots organizations in Switzerland have developed innovative social work in response to exclusion and radicalization. Beyond the special section, Andrew Devine analyzes how China uses the World Internet Conference to promote cyber sovereignty and reshape the norms of global internet governance. Velomahanina Tahinjanahary Razakamaharavo traces how metanarratives, from socialism to liberalism, have shaped the recurrence of conflict in Madagascar since 1947.
