- Abstract
This report summarizes the contributions and debates from a conference on German-Beninese cooperation in social science research (8- 10 March 2012, University of Bayreuth). In drawing on the experiences from more than three decades of social science research on this West African country, it refers to examples from the past and present of African Studies in Germany, as well as describing the potential for German-African cooperation in this field in the future. Aside from this, it raises the question of whether and how social science cooperation is possible given the economic and power disparities. It is argued that cooperation "on equal terms" will not be easy to achieve but must be consistently striven for - personally as well as politically.
