ABSTRACT Security governance in Africa constitutes a web of interactions between national, regional, and international organizations. This emerging ‘African security regime complex' receives growing attention in International Relations debates on international organizations (IOs). Most analysis, however, follows institutionalist and problem-solving approaches, centred on regulatory concerns. We offer a different perspective. Moving beyond dominant perspectives on organizations as either pre-given institutional ‘wholes' or rationalized ‘tools' of states, we instead unpack the ‘politics of organizations’, understood as the multiple processes and forms of agency through which organizations emerge, diversify and transform. In doing so, we bring IO analysis into conversation with debates on hybridity, friction and translocality.

组织政治中的混合与摩擦：非洲安全体制情结的新观点

摘要非洲的安全治理构成了国家，区域和国际组织之间相互作用的网络。这种新兴的“非洲安全制度综合体”在有关国际组织的国际关系辩论中受到越来越多的关注。但是，大多数分析都遵循以制度问题为中心的制度主义和解决问题的方法。我们提供了不同的观点。超越了将组织视为既定的机构“整体”或合理化的国家“工具”的主流观点，我们反而解开了“组织的政治”的涵义，被理解为组织通过其形成，多样化和转型的多种过程和形式的代理。在此过程中，我们将IO分析带入了关于混合性，摩擦和跨地域性的辩论中。
