Africa's Totalitarian Temptation: The Evolution of Autocratic Regimes
ISBN: 9781626378247 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Disappointment with the ability of democracy to deliver economic rewards in much of Africa - and with the persistence of instability, corruption, and poor governance in democratic regimes - has undermined democracy's appeal for many on the continent. At the same time, many external actors are expressing sympathy for regimes that have demonstrated an ability to impose stability and deliver economic growth, despite the limits placed on their citizens' freedom. In this context, Dave Peterson asks: Is totalitarianism emerging as an acceptable alternative to democracy in Africa? And if so, with...

Voices of Liberation - Wangari Maathai
ISBN: 9780796925749 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Wangari Maathai was a scholar, writer, environmental activist, human rights champion, and Nobel Prize laureate. In her life and thought, she tenaciously sought to expose the precarious lives of people across a variety of communities: women, rural communities, political prisoners, Kenyans, Africans, and citizens of the global South saddled with the burdens of international debt. She also intervened practically to dismantle the forces that limit people's access to a dignified life. Wangari Maathai is, without a doubt, a worthy and relevant subject for the latest addition to the series, Voices...

The Southern African Development Community in Zimbabwe: Non-Intervention and Non-Indifference
ISBN: 9781527552326 / Twarda / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book narrates the unravelling of Zimbabwe, a country that was once considered an inspiration on the continent of Africa in terms of socioeconomic development. Recognising that many factors contributed to the collapse of the nation, and that this collapse was a process that occurred over a long period, it looks at historical events and processes like the colonisation of the country and dispossession of the indigenous people, and the misrule, politically-motivated violence and economic mismanagement that followed under Robert Mugabe, as the pivotal moments that precipitated the subsequent...

An Analysis of Africa's Unconstitutional Government Transitions
ISBN: 9781036411848 / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over fifty years ago, military takeovers in Africa exacerbated unconstitutional political transitions. The African Union (AU), founded in 2001, has significantly impacted African law by addressing illegal government changes. The AU has created a legal framework, including targeted sanctions, to ease these transitions. Despite its poor design and implementation, the AU is an important player in advancing democracy. However, the definition of unconstitutional changes is too narrow, and sanctions are often unnecessary. The book explores the rise of unconstitutional changes in African...

Identity Politics in Sub-Saharan Africa
ISBN: 9781036411862 / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the recent spate of military takeovers in Guinea, Mali, Chad, Niger and Guinea Bissau in West Africa, identity politics has been named as one of the motivations behind the military coups. The concern surrounding the elimination or minimization of discrimination in governance and the distribution of national wealth is of particular importance. This book promotes a sane approach to the sharing of the national ‘cake’: to adopt pragmatism and the principles of the Rule of Law, which are already enshrined in the respective constitutions of these nations.
This book fills a gap in the... In the recent spate of military takeovers in Guinea, Mali, Chad, Niger and Guinea Bissau in West Africa, identity politics has been named as one of th...

Shifting Mindsets for Sustainable Development in Africa: A Political Economy Perspective
ISBN: 9781036463397 / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presents a bold and original thesis: that Africa’s development crisis is rooted not primarily in a lack of resources, weak governance, or flawed policy, but in mindset. The author contends that the prevailing “I” mentality—a lingering legacy of colonial degradation and institutional decay—continues to obstruct collective progress, ethical leadership, and innovation across the continent.
Blending philosophical depth with empirical rigor, the book introduces the Ubuntu-Maat Mindset Model (UMMM), a pioneering African-rooted framework that reimagines development as a moral...

The Soccer War
ISBN: 9780679738053 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Part diary and part reportage, The Soccer War is a remarkable chronicle of war in the late twentieth century. Between 1958 and 1980, working primarily for the Polish Press Agency, Kapuscinski covered twenty-seven revolutions and coups in Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. Here, with characteristic cogency and emotional immediacy, he recounts the stories behind his official press dispatches--searing firsthand accounts of the frightening, grotesque, and comically absurd aspects of life during war. The Soccer War is a singular work of journalism.
