ISBN: 9781477627563 / Angielski / Miękka / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Several trends make this monograph topic important.

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.

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: 9781920196790 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9789171067456 / Angielski / Miękka / 50 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The police in DRC are indeed a permanent domestic risk.

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...

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...

Horn, Sahel and Rift: Fault-lines of the African Jihad
ISBN: 9781849044141 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The 1998 attacks against US embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam attest to al-Qaeda's durable presence in Africa, yet Islamist-inspired radical organisations in the continent have gained much attention of late, the result of their campaigns of insurgent and terrorist violence directed against the state in Algeria, Somalia, Nigeria, Mali and Kenya. These groups include Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, Harakat Al Shabaab, Boko Haram, the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa and Ansar Dine.
