Summary/Abstract |
The author, a senior fellow of the Atlantic Council in Washington, DC and vising fellow at the Corbett centre for Maritime Policy studies, King's college, London, examines the idea of cooperation between the Anglophone navies to compensate for the declining strength of each of theme individually. He looks beyond comforting language about cooperation to what it might mean on the ground in real in real material terms. An earlier version of this article was published by the Atlantic Council and Rusi in September 2012.
In the unrelenting struggle of peoples, those ascendant at sea have, at least in the modern era, proved consistently successful either singly or in alliance against those with a territorial power base- Peter Padfield.

Summary/Abstract |
Power-sharing agreements have become a blueprint for efforts to end violent conflicts in many parts of the world, particularly in Africa. Such agreements, however, rarely include territorial power sharing – at least, not according to the formal, rather unhelpful narrow definition that includes federalism and decentralization. This article argues that the concept of territorial power sharing needs to be broadened in order to account for the manifold informal or indirect manifestations of such arrangements. Drawing on extensive fieldwork data from the DRC, Liberia, and Kenya, the article analyses the history of spatiality and power in Africa in order to explain why formal mechanisms of territorial power sharing are rare and why more subtle types of informal territorial power sharing are much more common. Based on this analysis, we conclude that territorial power sharing is present in many African states, but that typically it is overlooked because of its informal nature.
