Actors in Contemporary African Politics
ISBN: 9783643904430 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book gives voice to the representatives of various social science disciplines who use the expression 'actor in politics' according to the requirements of their respective approaches. They nevertheless arrive at an interesting and, to a great extent, impressive unity in diversity. What the book shows is the encounter of African actors and their agency with external actors and factors. Another connection uniting the contributions is the fact that they address the impact political actors outside the official or formal domain can and do exert on the respective societies. Informal politics...

ISBN: 9789171067456 / Angielski / Miękka / 50 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The police in DRC are indeed a permanent domestic risk. The lack of policy, service or management regime for the acquisition of equipment explains the deficient, dilapidated, obsolete and very often inappropriate equipment. Moreover, police units have very weak operational capacity and police officers lack self-confidence and pride in their profession. These shabbily dressed men and women in faded uniforms daily develop an indifferent attitude towards their profession and work in general. Inefficient and ineffective, the Congolese police force is wholly demoralised and unprofessional. This...

ISBN: 9781493713240 / Angielski / Miękka / 186 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the single party model to "representative democracy," from structural adjustment policies to reforms on enhancing "competitiveness" and improving the "business environment," almost all fashionable political and economic models have been experimented on the African continent. Yet, they all clearly failed, as attested by the majority of socio-economic indicators in the areas of nutrition, health, education, employment, etc. According to UN forecasts, Africa will account for a quarter of the world's population by 2050. If Africa is still unable to adequately address the problems faced by...

ISBN: 9781481890823 / Angielski / Miękka / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the wake of the January 25, 2011 Revolution in Egypt there has been much speculation in Western media about the role social media played in bringing down Hosni Mubarak after 30 years of autocratic rule, many even going so far as to call it a "Facebook revolution." This book argues that social media greatly enhanced Egyptian nonviolent struggle and political defiance as defined by nonviolent struggle theorists Gene Sharp and Peter Ackerman, in particular by enabling coordinated mass action, decentralization of leadership structure, creation of alternative media and social structures, all of...
