The Politics and Economics of Removing Subsidies on Petroleum Products in Nigeria
ISBN: 9781906704940 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Though the history of hikes in petroleum prices began in 1973 when the military government of Gen. Yakubu Gowon increased the price of petrol to 9 kobo per litre from the equivalent of 8.8 kobo that had prevailed before then, the politics and economics of removal of subsidies on premium petroleum products entered into the national lexicon in 1986 when the military administration of General Ibrahim Babangida announced that due to the devaluation of the Naira, the domestic price of fuel had become unsustainable cheap and was becoming a burden on the national purse. Ever since, most regimes in...

Who Is an African?: Identity, Citizenship and the Making of the Africa-Nation
ISBN: 9781906704551 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Who is an African? At face value, the answer seems obvious. Surely, everyone knows who the African is, it would seem. But the answer becomes less obvious once other probing qualifiers are added to the question. How is the African identity constructed in the face of the mosaic of identities that people of African ancestry living within and beyond the continent bear? Do all categorised as Africans or as having an African pedigree perceive themselves as Africans? Are all who perceive themselves as Africans accepted as such? Are there levels of "Africanness," and are some more African than...

Nigeria Without Nigerians?: Boko Haram and the Crisis in Nigeria's Nation-Building
ISBN: 9781909112025 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Boko Haram has been one of the most important sources of security challenges facing the Nigerian government since the group became radicalised in 2009 following a government clampdown and eventual death of their founder Mohamed Yusuf. The monograph critically interrogates the various explanatory theses for the emergence and radicalisation of the group and concludes that the sect is merely a symptom of the severe crisis that has engulfed the country's nation-building. This crisis, it argues, has triggered a massive de-Nigerianisation process, often with the state as the enemy: those entrusted...

Free Speech V Reputation: Public Interest Defence in American and English Law of Defamation
ISBN: 9781906704322 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this study we look at how free speech interests are balanced against the need to protect reputation in American and English defamation laws. We studied cases from both countries to see how this tension is resolved. We pay special attention to 'public interest' defence since the media often justifies its attack on reputation on 'public interest', even when it is substituting its own interest for this 'public interest'.
