Routledge Studies in Sustainable Development

Aimed at practitioners and students in environmental studies, development, economics and geography, this book systematically investigates how sustainable development can be achieved at the local and global level. Instead of problems, it focuses on practical solutions for the reader to take for themselves, in their community, and in their career.Based on the latest scientific research, case studies, and voices from the Global North and the Global South, How to Achieve Sustainable Development is divided into five key Parts. It reviews why business-as-usual is no longer an option; how to engage with governance, finance, and collective action; where transformation hotspots for achieving sustainable development exist; how local change happens in sustainable development; and finally, what happens next. Chapters take a deep dive into improved human capabilities, just economies, sustainable food and energy production, gender inequality and resilience. It moves beyond merely recognizing the challenges faced in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), instead focusing on real-world pathways to address these, beyond the 2030 timeline. Each solution is framed within this context and promotes taking complexity seriously, as opposed to ignoring it.Alongside the book, appendix material provides guidance for personal action, and digital resources offer up-to-date opportunities for further engagement.Explore the book's dedicated website at: sustainabledevelopment.me

Routledge Revivals

First published in 1969, African Penal Systems is the first book to explore the problems of African criminology. Sixteen distinguished contributors- sociologists, lawyers, and psychiatrists- each an authority on some aspect of African penal problems, have collaborated to produce it. Its first part gives a general survey of the penal systems of some fourteen African countries, variously English, French, or Portuguese inclined, or wholly autochthonous. Part two includes six specialist contributions on various detailed problems in the development and operation of the modern African systems.In his introduction Alan Milner, describes the sociological forces responsible for the increase of crime in Africa and examines the possibility of the growth of a peculiarly African approach to the solution of its penal problems. This is a must read for scholars and researchers African Studies, criminology, and African Law.

Studies in International Trade and Investment Law

This book fills the urgent need for a comprehensive understanding of the law, institutions, and processes shaping international economic dispute settlement within and beyond Africa. African economies are becoming increasingly central in global trade networks. Understanding the continent's dispute resolution mechanisms is more crucial now than ever. The book systematically analyses the existing sub-regional courts and arbitral tribunals, as well as their roles. It achieves this by focusing on Africa's leading socio-legal actors involved in economic dispute settlement, including African States, transnational corporations, African international law scholars, international organisations, and African emerging transnational actors in arbitration. These 5 pillars create an ecology of socio-legal actors, interacting and intersecting to generate a complex social, political, historical, and legal variation matrix for understanding African international economic dispute settlement. The book covers the 2 main international economic dispute settlement divisions: international court litigation and international public and private arbitration. It also carefully analyses sub-regional international economic courts and international public and private arbitrations in Africa through a Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) lens and socio-legal actors methodology. International Economic Dispute Settlement in Africa provides invaluable insights for legal professionals, policymakers, researchers, and business leaders navigating the complexities of African dispute resolution. Winner of the 2024 SIEL-Hart Prize in International Economic Law.

Courts and Arbitral Tribunals as Socio-Legal Actors

International Economic Dispute Settlement in Africa

A leader remembered, a legacy contested yet enduring. This collection traces John Pombe Magufuli's ascent as both symbol and statesman-a figure whose reforms struck like lightning and whose resolve reshaped national ethos. It situates Magufuli within Tanzania's historical and political continuum, illuminating his revolutionary vision, his disciplined governance, and his defiance of imposed paradigms. "Hapa kazi tu", his mantra emerges not merely as a slogan but as a philosophical framework rooted in African self-belief, cultural affirmation, and developmental sovereignty. Through poetic reflection and scholarly insight, these pages examine the man, the myth, and the memory. They reveal a leader who challenged complacency and reclaimed national purpose. Magufuli's legacy is cast alongside Nyerere, Kenyatta, Nkrumah, Sankara, and Mandela, revealing a shared pursuit of African autonomy. His pragmatism, bold reforms, and actiondriven leadership mark him as a pivotal voice in Africa's future trajectory. A resonant tribute to a figure whose imprint continues to provoke thought and inspire conviction.

'One of the most original and important books on Africa in years' FINANCIAL TIMES The birth of new nations, independent democracies, the unprecedented growth of cities from Lagos to Cairo; the African continent is booming. So why do myths about underdevelopment, unproductive land and overpopulation remain? In a groundbreaking new study of Africa's developmental history, economist Joe Studwell debunks long-held views about the continent's presumed resistance to growth, charting monumental changes in government, demography and asset management. Considering everything from settler colonialism to soil conditions, mineral extractivism to disease development and eradication, Studwell persuasively argues that the seizing back of land, people and states across Africa, has also been the seizure of mass economic development. From slavery to independence and beyond, this is the definitive account of the world's second largest continent - and an optimistic look to its future.

'A brilliant and captivating work ... There is simply no better book on Islam in history' Eugene Rogan From its birth in seventh-century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. In Worlds of Islam, James McDougall explores its origins and transformations from Late Antiquity to the digital age. Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia, and the remote interior of China. By the nineteenth century, Islam encompassed a world of great diversity, from Muslim-ruled empires to nations where Muslims lived out their faith among many others. In the twentieth century, while monarchs in the Gulf asserted dynastic privilege and fundamentalists in Egypt and Pakistan preached social morality, revolutionaries from Algeria to Indonesia fought for national self-determination, and activists in North America and Europe campaigned for civil liberties and social justice. As empires fell and new superpowers rose, Muslims proved to be as adaptable and dynamic as modernity itself. Sweeping and authoritative, Worlds of Islam narrates the epic story of how Muslims emerged as a community, built empires, traversed the globe, came to number in the billions, and became modern.

Routledge Studies in Health in Africa

Over the past 30 years, an ever-expanding community of global health actors have been intervening in the poorest parts of the world with the aim of combatting disease and improving health outcomes. While many global health programmes in the Global South have been successful in saving lives, their successes have often been compromised by poor coordination, inefficiency and a lack of alignment with national priorities.This book outlines the deep historical and political dimensions of this fragmentation, using rural Zambia as a case study. In the name of global health, different actors produce and circulate radically different stories about how to improve health. These narratives not only contribute to a fragmented landscape of health provision but also create more subtle and pervasive forms of fragmentation in the everyday lives of health workers, patients and government officials. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in rural Zambia, this book examines three different global health interventions driven by differing stories of salvation, community and experimentation. Tracing the longer history of these stories, the book shows how they have failed to account for the realities of life in rural Zambia.Providing an innovative and nuanced analysis of global health that challenges the idea of fragmentation as simply a technical problem, this book will be an important read for researchers of global health and African studies.

In a career that has seen him face coup leaders in his native Ivory Coast and lead some of the most prestigious Western financial institutions, Tidjane Thiam has blazed a trail through African and European politics and business.In a career that has seen him face coup leaders in his native Ivory Coast and lead some of the most prestigious Western financial institutions, Tidjane Thiam has blazed a trail through African and European politics and business.After a childhood in tumultuous west and north Africa, Thiam broke barriers in the elitist world of French higher education, becoming one of the first black consultants at McKinsey and Company before entering the Ivorian government. After a coup forced him into exile, he joined the world of finance, where his rise saw him named as CEO of Prudential in London and Credit Suisse in Zurich. Along the way, he was trained and supported by many both in the public and private sector who made his many achievements as a leader possible. However, his rise to prominence as the only African, black and Muslim boss of large Western corporations was also accompanied with disproportionate public and media scrutiny, as well as racism and xenophobia.A blend of autobiography, business, politics, and personal philosophy, his book offers a unique vantage point on corporate and political life in Africa, Europe, the United States and Asia. In a story that spans from his father's politically motivated imprisonment to the business principles that took Thiam to the top of global finance, he shares a personal and professional story that is equal parts inspirational and aspirational.
