The call is a monthly deep-dive into power, statehood and order in the Global South
SUNDIATA Post, Africa’s Media-Intelligence-Knowledge Institution, will launch Sovereignty Call, a subscription-only publication examining sovereignty, statehood and political order in Nigeria, Africa and the Global South.
The first edition goes live on Monday, 25 January 2027. Twelve original articles will follow each year, one a month. January to November editions will appear on the 25th, and the December edition on 18 December, to close the year before the holidays.
Announcing the launch, Vivian Daniel, Manager of the Sundiata Post Knowledge Lab (SPKL), said the publication is built for sustained engagement with the forces that shape political authority, institutional capacity, territorial control and the realities of statehood. It will favour original research and rigorous analysis over the immediacy of daily news and commentary.
Sovereignty Call was conceived by Dr Max Amuchie, Founder and CEO of Sundiata Post Media Ltd, scholar-journalist and formulator of The Insecurity Triad, the Trinity of Sovereignty Decay and the Sundiata Post Model, and developer of the Decoupling Sovereignty Index (DSI). It will operate under the direction of the Sovereignty Call Editorial Board.
Not another commentary outlet
Original theory, not opinion. Each article draws on frameworks developed at Sundiata Post: African-origin tools for understanding sovereignty erosion, rival authority and institutional weakness.
Depth over volume. Twelve articles a year. No daily churn, no hot takes, no repackaged news.
The Global South on its own terms.
Nigeria, Africa and the wider Global South are treated as places where theory is made, not as case studies for imported ideas. The starting point is the lived reality of states and populations.
The next step in Sundiata Post’s evolution
Since its unveiling in July 2015, Sundiata Post has joined journalism, intelligence generation and knowledge production in one institutional framework. Through SPKL, it has built research frameworks and scholarly repository infrastructure, including Sundiata Post Dataverse on Harvard Dataverse and Sundiata Post Elements on CERN’s Zenodo. Sovereignty Call gives that work a dedicated home for long-form, research-driven publishing.
