The visit began with a presentation by Olivier J. Walther from the University of Southern Denmark and co-author of the recent SWAC publication “Cross-border Co-operation and Policy Networks in West Africa”. His presentation illustrated how the many cross-border regions in West Africa could benefit from place-based policies that recognize and adapt to the specificities of each border area.
Dr. Walther will be joining UF in June as a Visiting Scholar through 2018. Welcome Olivier!
