Title: Political governance and the influence of epistemic justice agents: an assessment of the epistemic power of think tanks in Africa

My research starts from the fact that think tanks (agents of epistemic justice, and thus as agents against epistemic injustice in society) have a considerable influence on political governance, and leads to an assessment of what would be the strengths and limits of this epistemic influence of think tanks in the African continent in particular, and in the world in general.
