Chipfakacha C: FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN THE
MINING SECTOR IN AFRICA A FOCUS ON CHIN

FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN THE MINING SECTOR IN AFRICA A FOCUS ON CHINA IN SHURUGWI ZIMBABWE

Understand the complexities involved in managing destinations, including the current challenges at the forefront of the tourism industry such as climate change, overtourism and crisis management.

A Practical Approach

Responsible Destination Management

This book reframes the question of how Africa industrializes, and is the first to address a key challenge facing African economies today: achieving structural transformation alongside decarbonization, i.e. industrializing and greening simultaneously, rather than sequentially as earlier developers did. 

Drawing on primary fieldwork across five national economies - Ethiopia, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa - and six strategic sectors, accounting for 40% of Africa's GDP and a third of its population, Arkebe Oqubay advances the concept of Green Productive Transformation, in which structural economic change and decarbonization are treated as mutually constitutive imperatives rather than competing objectives. The comparative evidence demonstrates that where government policy, industrial hubs, and firm capabilities are strategically aligned, productive transformation and green transformation reinforce each other; where they are not, industrial growth follows the path of least environmental resistance, producing carbon lock-in. 

Just transition and energy transition frameworks are designed primarily with industrialized economies in mind. This book challenges the utility of these frameworks for Africa, and instead advances a domestically-driven alternative, grounded in structural transformation theory, green industrial policy, and the political economy of late development. No single green pathway exists for Africa: the evidence presented here reveals conditional pathways shaped by national context, sectoral configuration, and policy choice. A green, productive Africa is not an inevitable outcome of global technological change, but it is genuinely within reach, and the first step is getting the analysis right.

Greening African Economic Development

Sustainability practitioners are operating in challenging waters: Ever-evolving regulations, shifting political winds, and heightened stakeholder demands have created a landscape that often feels chaotic and contradictory. In this time of profound change there are both significant risks and new opportunities for companies. Navigating these times requires not only technical expertise but also sharper judgment and the ability to balance immediate business demands with long-term value creation. Navigating the Business of Sustainability: A Practitioner’s Guide is a practical, experience-driven resource for leaders striving for positive, lasting impact while charting a rapidly changing landscape. Built on decades of real-world experience from practitioners who have successfully led corporate sustainability through multiple cycles, this book addresses the key challenges when integrating sustainability into business strategy and operations. By focusing on what works in practice, this book is a guide for practitioners to manage conflicting priorities, foster innovation, and create enduring benefits for both business and society.

Navigating the Business of Sustainability

The Middle East region is facing rapid transformation through climate change, shifting global alliances, digital disruption, and changing governance models, so what does this mean for the future of a region as diverse as this one? Middle Eastern Futures: Leadership, Development, and Resilience in a Transforming Region aims to reframe traditional narratives of Middle Eastern politics and development. Rather than viewing the region solely through the lens of conflict or crisis, the book highlights proactive, strategic efforts by governments, civil society actors, and businesses to shape sustainable and adaptive futures. Drawing on a range of case studies--including Gulf states' visions (e.g., Saudi Vision 2030), post-conflict recovery in Iraq and Syria, water and food security initiatives, and youth leadership movements in Lebanon and Palestine--the book foregrounds local agency, innovation, and systemic resilience. The research addresses key themes emerging in contemporary Middle Eastern studies: the evolving nature of political leadership, the redefinition of national development strategies in light of sustainability and economic diversification, and the increasing importance of resilience as both a policy goal and a lived experience. For readers, the interdisciplinary analysis bridges political science, development economics, sociology, and international relations to provide a comprehensive understanding of Middle Eastern transformations.

Gute Bürokratie stärkt die DemokratieWas kommt einem in den Sinn, wenn man das Wort 'Bürokratie' hört? Komplizierte Formulare, lange Warteschlangen, Unflexibilität und oft eine engstirnige Haltung. Aber muss das so sein? Dieses Buch zeigt: Bürokratie kann tatsächlich anders sein - zugewandt, beweglich, zukunftsfähig und fortschrittlich. Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele zeigen die Autoren, dass diese Vision vielerorts bereits Realität ist. Und angesichts der dramatischen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit wird sie dringender gebraucht denn je zuvor. 
Alltägliche Begegnungen mit der öffentlichen Verwaltung - etwa bei der Beantragung eines Führerscheins oder der Ummeldung einer Wohnung - sind entscheidende Kontaktpunkte zwischen Bürgerinnen und Bürgern und dem Staat. An diesen kleinen Begegnungen und erst recht an den größeren beurteilen Menschen, wie gut der Staat funktioniert, wie vertrauenswürdig er ist und wie gut er für die Zukunft gerüstet ist. Die gute Nachricht ist: Es gibt bereits eine Bewegung, die unsere öffentlichen Verwaltungen neu denkt und neu gestaltet - und Lösungen entwickelt, um besser mit uns allen in Verbindung zu treten. 
&nbsp;Vergessen wir nicht: Eine gute Bürokratie ist ein machtvolles Instrument zur Stärkung der Demokratie.

Wie Verwaltung Bürger glücklich macht und Demokratie stärkt

Bürokratie, wie wir sie uns wünschen

Why Britain's energy path gave rise to an ideology of endless growth Despite the warnings of climate scientists, the world remains dangerously addicted to fossil fuel. Why has it been so difficult to break this habit? In a major new account, Fredrik Albritton Jonsson suggests that the planetary emergency has profound historical roots reaching back to the making of the first fossil fuel economy in eighteenth-century Britain. Rather than look for a single dramatic rupture centered on the steam-powered factory system, in Infinite Coal Albritton Jonsson shows that there was a much more gradual and multidimensional development of the first coal economy, stretching from the deep mine and ironworks to the household and the global food system. Albritton Jonsson explores not only the material forces behind the British energy path but also how ideas about fossil fuel energy reoriented politics and society toward a new ideal of growth. At the same time an environmental and political history of Britain’s energy transformation, Infinite Coal explains why and how coal became so deeply embedded in our way of life. Albritton Jonsson argues that the most important legacy of Britain’s early fossil fuel economy is fossil cornucopianism—the idea of a bountiful, never-ending energy source—which still haunts modern politics and economics.

Oxford Handbooks

This handbook on the "New" Space Economy (NSE) offers the first comprehensive analysis of the contemporary space economy. The "new" is characterized by commercialization, greater participation of the private sector, innovation, and increased engagement of national governments. Using multiple approaches, the volume conceptualizes the boundaries of an emerging field of inquiry, characterized by continuity and change and involving terrestrial and extraterrestrial activities. It covers the fundamental economic, institutional, and technological dynamics and assesses the socio-economic impact of the NSE. Largely a US and European phenomenon, the evolution of the NSE in other spacefaring nations such as China, India, Japan, and Russia is also examined.

In The Oxford Handbook of the New Space Economy, chapters by both academics and practitioners systematically address the changing institutional arrangements, interactions between public and private actors, and the role of innovations and entrepreneurship. As constellations of satellites for earth observations, telecommunications, the internet, GPS, and other civilian applications tackle climate change and monitor natural disasters, the unsustainability of space activities due to orbital congestion and space debris is a reality. The 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty, which views space as a "global commons," needs revisiting to address regulatory challenges in space mining and other uses of extraterrestrial resources. This volume advances the state of knowledge on the dynamics of an emerging new space economy, identifies key stakeholders, and opens up future research areas for policymaking.

Quantitative Finance, Climate Change, And Risk Management: A Physicist's Approach (Third Edition)

About the book &gt;The principles governing the behavior of energy and information, which explain natural phenomena and social behaviors, are too often overlooked. Reintroducing rationality into a public debate dominated by ideology requires pedagogy. After simply restating the three basic principles of thermodynamics, this book illustrates how they apply to our everyday lives through concrete examples. About the author &gt;An independent researcher in the fields of energy, information theory, cryptography, and economics, he offers explanations and solutions based on the connections he draws between these disciplines.

Energy, the flip side of money

In many parts of the world, 100-degree days are already common. In the Indian subcontinent, temperatures can become so high that concrete in the cities buckles. In Morocco, hotter and longer droughts threaten crops and livestock, possibly wiping out the livelihood of millions. The lives of the world's poorest are already harder, hotter, and shorter thanks to emissions that disproportionately come from the world's richest. But just as the rich world's emissions are finally falling, poorer countries' are set to increase drastically. We seem to be caught in an impossible bind-but it's not too late.Renowned economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo (co-recipients of the 2019 Nobel Prize), and Michael Greenstone propose a radical new approach to combating climate change and the devastation that is already causing the most serious global crisis of our time. Substantial progress is possible if the wealthiest countries compensate the poorer countries for the harms that their emissions cause and, in exchange, poorer countries commit to climate action. Based on meticulous original research, years of fieldwork around the world, and deep engagement with world leaders and climate negotiators, Banerjee, Duflo, and Greenstone dive deeply into the specifics to show how this grand bargain would work to curtail emissions and address the suffering of the world's neediest.This paradigm-shifting and inspiring book reassures us that we can successfully confront the challenge. We can protect the poor while protecting our future. It's just economics.
