When the US repeatedly bluffs and backs down, it no longer looks like strategy and starts to look like a pattern. Fubu Ngubu argues that Europe has begun to recognise this pattern of retreat, and is adjusting accordingly
New US-Africa health agreements promise funding and self-reliance. But many include clauses on data and pathogen sharing. Fubu Ngubu argues that such arrangements risk transforming health partnerships into exercises in digital extraction. African data is generating global value without fair returns for African nations

Fubu's research focuses on democratic participation in African democracies, with particular attention to how civic education shapes political behaviour and democratic norms under different social and institutional conditions.
His doctoral project, Conditional Civic Habitus: Exploring How Civic Education Interacts to Influence the Prevalence of Clientelism in African Democracies, examines how civic education interacts with contextual factors to influence citizens’ engagement with democratic processes.
More broadly, he is interested in questions of democratic deepening, governance, and political accountability in the Global South.
His research highlights how structural inequalities, institutional trust, and access to education shape citizens’ political choices and opportunities for participation.
Combining insights from political theory, comparative politics, and education policy, he seeks to contribute to ongoing debates about how democratic norms develop and how civic education can support more inclusive and accountable political systems.
