Africa in Transformation

Economic Development in the Age of Doubt

&lt;p&gt;Chapter 1: Introduction: Reflecting on Africa’s Contemporary Dynamics.- Chapter 2: Changing Politics.- Chapter 3: Respecting Diversity.- Chapter 4: Understanding Policy Space.- Chapter 5: Structural Transformation through Industrialisation.- Chapter 6: Increasing Agricultural Productivity.- Chapter 7: Revisiting the Social Contract.- Chapter 8: Adjusting to Climate Change.- Chapter 9: Inserting Agency in the Relations with China.- Chapter 10: Conclusions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Since independence in 1980, the lives of Zimbabweans have been inextricably linked to the nation's turbulent political landscape. Central to this narrative is the post-2000 rivalry between the ruling ZANU-PF - led by Robert Mugabe and later Emmerson Mnangagwa - and the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). Despite the MDC's eventual fragmentation, Morgan Tsvangirai and his successor, Nelson Chamisa, remained the defining figures of the opposition. While ZANU-PF's electoral victories have frequently been marred by documented allegations of fraud and violence, this volume offers a nuanced, holistic analysis. It argues that the opposition itself shoulders significant responsibility for its failures, providing a critical counter-perspective on 21st-century Zimbabwean power struggles. This book is an essential resource for scholars and students of history, political science, and human rights.

Meet the scientists uncovering the secrets of Earth's harshest environments - the polar regions
SHORTLISTED FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY TRIVEDI SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE 2025

AN&nbsp;ECONOMIST&nbsp;BOOK OF THE YEAR

'Thrilling... This book is a reminder of how incredibly "cool" our planet can be, and how we must fight to protect it.'&nbsp;Nick Mohammed

Frigid, remote and inhospitable - the polar regions seem far removed from our everyday lives.

But these seemingly isolated ice realms shape life on our planet far more than we realise, influencing everything from the climate to ocean health. They may even hold the secrets to the origins of the Earth.

Taking an epic journey of discovery from pole-to-pole, ferrying between penguins and polar bears, Ends of the Earth reveals the polar regions as never before. Meeting with the leading physicists, climatologists, geologists, biologists and palaeontologists working in these extremes - often as eccentric as they are intrepid - Neil Shubin presents the compelling new science of the Arctic and Antarctic with characteristic verve and expertise.

***

'A fast-moving, fascinating book that combines travelogue and natural science discovery... a delightful and compelling read.'&nbsp;Daniel J. Levitin, author of&nbsp;The Organised Mind

'Gripping... Shubin's captivating storytelling will give you a new appreciation for some of the harshest and most mysterious places on Earth.'&nbsp;Steve Brusatte, author of&nbsp;The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs

'What a remarkable planet we live on - wildest at its cold and lovely poles. This compelling volume should summon us to defend that cold, the vital task for our time on earth.' Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature

'Fascinating. Important.' Spectator

An acclaimed New York Times Magazine writer brings us into the world of the controversial technology firm Palantir and its very colorful and outspoken CEO, Alex Karp, tracing the ascent of Big Data, the rise of surveillance technology, and the shifting global balance of power in the 21st century. Palantir builds data integration software: its technology ingests vast quantities of information and quickly identifies patterns, trends, and connections that might elude the human eye. Founded in 2003 to help the US government in the war on terrorism—an early investor was the CIA—Palantir is now a $400 billion global colossus whose software is used by major intelligence services (including the Mossad), the US military, dozens of federal agencies, and corporate giants like Airbus and BP. From AI to counterterrorism to climate change to immigration to financial fraud to the future of warfare, the company is at the nexus of the most critical issues of the twenty-first century. Its CEO, Alex Karp, is a distinctive figure on the global business scene. A biracial Jew who is also severely dyslexic, Karp has built Palantir into a tech giant despite having no background in either business or computer science. Instead, he’s a trained philosopher who has become known for his strongly held views on a range of issues and for his willingness to grapple with the moral and ethical implications of Palantir’s work. Those questions have taken on added urgency during the Trump era, which has also brought attention to the political activism of Karp’s close friend and Palantir cofounder Peter Thiel. In The Philosopher in the Valley, journalist Michael Steinberger explores the world of Alex Karp, Palantir, and the future that they are leading us toward. It is an urgent and illuminating work about one of Silicon Valley’s most secretive and powerful companies, whose technology is at the leading edge of the surveillance state.

Studies in Private International Law

This groundbreaking book offers an in-depth exploration of the complex and evolving landscape of the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments across Africa. Covering more than 26 jurisdictions, it spans a remarkable diversity of linguistic traditions (including English, French, Arabic, and Portuguese), religious contexts (such as Christian-majority and Muslim-majority countries), and legal systems (ranging from common law and civil law to mixed jurisdictions). As the first comprehensive study of its kind, the book examines national procedures, legal regimes, and institutional frameworks, combining theoretical insights with practical analysis. It sheds light on the multifaceted challenges that arise in cross-border civil and commercial litigation and reflects on the prospects for legal harmonization and reform within the continent. Drawing on the most up-to-date case law and legislative developments, both domestic and regional, the book offers a unique and timely contribution to understanding the mechanisms-current and emerging-that govern the movement of judgments across African borders. A practical guide and indispensable reference for practitioners, academics, judges, students, and policy makers alike, this invaluable book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of foreign judgments recognition and enforcement in Africa, with all its intricacies and complexities.

Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Africa

In a movement-defining book, the "godmother of the current moment of dissatisfaction with establishment politics" (The New York Times) tells the story of the rising anti-monopoly movement and charts a course to a democratic future In a short, sharp political book, The Nation magazine's "Anti-Monopolist" columnist and "a prophet of the resurgent left" (Franklin Foer) explains the battle between the forces of oligarchy and the rise of the new anti-monopoly movement. Using the stories of modern anti-monopoly heroes including Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan; blueberry farmer Hugh Kent, who turned his battle with Driscoll's into a farmers' movement; and Doha Mekki, the daughter of a Sudanese asylum seeker who took on Google and won; Teachout explains how anti-monopoly cuts across traditional political lines and gives real teeth to economic populism.Teachout, a scholar of the law of democracy and a politician whose run for governor of New York State shocked the political establishment, argues that monopoly is the architecture of private tyranny, and that breaking corporate power is essential to building a new democracy. From AI to agriculture, healthcare to energy, Americans understand that corporate concentration doesn't just cause inequality; it organizes power. Anti-Monopoly gives that feeling a name, a history, and a way forward. After a spate of books out of the Abundance movement arguing that we need to remove local democracy and focus on efficiency at scale, this book provides a sharp counterpoint.

The Risks of Global Depopulation and the Case for People

After the Spike

When every road was barricaded by bullets and betrayal, they carved a path through fire. In the shadow of dictatorship and on the brink of annihilation, a new generation of Rwandans chose the unthinkable-not for glory, not for conquest, but for survival and the hope of dignity restored. Option Z: The Last Road to Freedom tells the epic, harrowing, and ultimately triumphant story of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF)- from exile and despair to a disciplined liberation movement that dared to reclaim the soul of a broken nation. Through vivid accounts of key battles, secret negotiations, international indifference, and unyielding resolve, this book traces the final chapters of Rwanda's darkest hour-and the light that emerged from its depths. Blending history with human testimony, strategy with sacrifice, and memory with meaning, Option Z is more than a military chronicle-it is a tribute to courage, unity, and the moral clarity of choosing justice when silence seemed the safer path. "This is not just the story of a war-it is the anatomy of a people's last hope, told with clarity, compassion, and fierce conviction." Whether you're a student of history, a seeker of justice, or simply drawn to stories where human will defies impossible odds, Option Z: The Long Road to Freedom offers an unforgettable window into the soul of Rwanda.
