DESCRIPTION:Our cherished friend and colleague Nicolas van de Walle (1957-2
 024) shaped the field of political science and African politics in substant
 ial and important ways. His insights into the politics of economic policyma
 king and “permanent crisis\,” the driving forces of regime dynamics\, elect
 oral politics\, and democratic transitions continue to underpin the foundat
 ions of comparative politics. \n\nBeyond his written work\, van de Walle’s 
 legacy is firmly anchored in how he treated his fellow scholars—at home at 
 Cornell and around the world. His kindness\, generosity of spirit\, intelle
 ctual curiosity\, and joy in the ongoing process of learning from others. T
 hese are the characteristics that define him to so many who were lucky enou
 gh to know him and interact with him. He has served as a mentor to hundreds
 : offering support\, incisive feedback\, advice\, and conversation to think
  through the politics of our time. We honor him as a brilliant scholar and 
 a gentle soul who lifted others up and made our collective humanity richer.
 \n\nThis conference in his honor will focus on the core themes of African p
 olitical economy\, regimes\, and modes of electoral and social participatio
 n and contestation. \n\n \n\nHosted by the \nInstitute for African Developm
 ent (Einaudi Center for International Studies)\; Department of Government\;
