   Academic publishing in South Africa attracts a state research incentive for the universities to which the authors are affiliated. The aim of this study was twofold: (1) to examine the composition of the research value chain and (2) to identify the effects of broken links within the chain. The methodology selected was a lived cultural economy study, which was constructed through incorporating dialogue with editors, authors and researchers in terms of my own experience as a journal editor, read through a political economy framework. The prime effect is to exclude journals, especially independent titles, from directly earning publishing incentives. The behaviour of universities in attracting this variable income is discussed in terms of rent-seeking which occurs when organisations and/or individuals leverage resources from state institutions. Firstly, this process commodifies research and its product, publication. Secondly, the value chain is incomplete as it is the journals that are funding publication rather than – in many cases – the research economy funding the journals. Thirdly, authors are seeking the rewards enabled by the incentive attached to measurement systems, rather than the incentive of impacting the discipline/s which they are addressing. Fourthly, the paper discuses some policy and institutional matters which impact the above and the relative costs between open access and subscription models. Editors, journals and publishers are the un- or underfunded conduits that enable the transfer of massive research subsidies to universities and authors, and, in the case of journals, editors’ voluntary work is the concealed link in the value chain enabling the national research economy.Significance:The South African scientific publishing economy is built on a foundation of clay: this economy distorts research impact and encourages universities and academics to commoditise output.

   International relations as a practice and as a discipline of knowledge remains parochial to accurately explain, describe, and predict the behavior of African states in the international system. The production of knowledge in the context of relations of power has led to a skewed analysis of Africa’s contribution to the global political economy. However, the end of colonialism in the early 1950s marked an important era in transformative efforts to incorporate African political thoughts in International Relations (IR) theory and to challenge European models and paradigms. Concepts such as Africanisation, Pan-Africanism, post-colonialism, and decolonization have become buzzwords to describe the study of African politics. This paper seeks to contribute to the broader discussions around the topic of Africa’s existence in international relations with a particular focus on the contribution of key African literary figures who have made significant contributions to the understanding of the global political economy of the 21st century.
