This book explores the evolution of sovereign wealth funds in Africa and their increasing significance for facilitating transaction-based economic development. How sovereign investment can address sustainable economic growth, infrastructure development, and sovereign debt reduction is presented.
&nbsp;
Innovations in sovereign investment based on climate finance solutions, asset recycling and monetization, overcoming donor gaps in social sectors, capital markets products, and mobilizing co-investment funds from commercial institutions are also highlighted. An empirical framework for assessing the potential of African sovereign wealth funds to become economic powerhouses is also offered.
&nbsp;
The book provides a roadmap for how every African country can and should establish a sovereign wealth or development fund, including those not endowed with a generous supply of natural resources.&nbsp; It will be relevant to fund managers, development professionals, commercial investors, students and researchers interested in African political economy.

Transaction-Based Development From the Periphery to the Center of Sovereign Investment Strategy

African Sovereign Wealth Funds and New Directions in State Capitalism

<div>Textiles have been a highly valued part of many Indigenous societies across the world and over millennia. This pathbreaking book examines the large woven ceremonial cloths known as pua kumbu, long associated with the Iban peoples of the interior of Sarawak, Malaysia. In both scholarly and popular studies of these sacred cloths, the process of creating pua kumbu is identified explicitly with the women who weave them, using oral tradition for the passing on of designs and practice, in a task that is skilful, physically demanding and strenuous. Based on more than a decade of ethnographic fieldwork and collaborative engagement with a longhouse community, this study seeks to break new ground, both empirically and conceptually. It is framed around a number of key themes: the origins, symbolism and use of the cloths; the place of female weavers in Iban society; the creative tension between conservation, innovation and transformation; and the significance of insider Indigenous knowledge for sustainable community development. Enriching Iban Pua Kumbu is a valuable work for advanced students, researchers and general readers interested in the intersection of material culture, social status and community engagement, such as cultural anthropologists, archaeologists, economists, museum curators and historians.</div><div><div>

Gesellschaften stehen heute vor komplexen ökologischen, technologischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Herausforderungen. Dies macht nicht nur einen institutionellen Wandel erforderlich, sondern verweist auch auf die Notwendigkeit eines grundlegenden Wandels im Handeln der Akteure. Die Beiträger*innen gehen zwei zentralen Fragen nach: Welche Bedeutung haben kulturhistorische Repräsentationen von Raum und der Umgang mit ihnen für Gesellschaften, Institutionen, Politik und andere Akteure? Und was behindert den Prozess des zielgerichteten Handelns angesichts der bestehenden Herausforderungen?
