Guest-edited by Detlef Müller-Mahn, Eric Kioko and Theo Aalders from our sub-project C03 “Green Futures”, this special issue of Third World Quarterly was officially launched on 15 June 2026 during a project meeting in Bonn. The publication explores “ghost projects,” or unfinished infrastructure developments whose lingering, half-present state continues to shape future development visions and practices and features contributions from several Future Rural Africa researchers.
