Explores the enduring role of traditional bone setting in African healthcare, highlighting its cultural depth, ethnobotanical roots, and growing biomedical collisions s with Western orthopedic medical sciences that split and fracture current patient-care systems.&nbsp; 

Traditional bone setting (TBS) has long held a prominent sway in African healthcare, particularly in the more remote and pastoral expanses of Africa. This unique interdisciplinary religious, human rights, and sociological study of medicine manuscript is an examination of not only generationally inherited ethnobotanical, pharmacognosy TBS traditions but also direct observations on how current surgical orthopedic medicine and modern-day social mechanisms clash with traditional healthcare approaches in contemporaneous and inexorable ways. Whether intentionally or not, this entrenched two-tier infrastructure supports, promotes, and maintains a fiscally and socially alienated infrastructure: one that serves the poor general public; and the other that is oriented toward serving the prosperous and powerful urban class. Some argue that these disparate structures are destined to remain grassroots-based adversaries, due to systemic mistrust, irreconcilable intellectual and spiritual beliefs, and possible biochemical appropriations. 
These ensuing biomedical collisions between "Western" orthopedic trauma care and traditional bonesetters in Cameroon (Central Africa), Ethiopia (East Africa), Ghana (West Africa), and Zimbabwe (South Africa) were documented over eight years via one-on-one interviews with TBS patients, practicing bonesetters, and in-country practicing orthopedic surgeons; evidence-based ethnobotanical research, and patient service preferences. 
In Western biomedical quarters, it will continue to be argued that traditional bonesetters' lack of anatomical, physiological, and radiological knowledge effects tragic and unnecessary limb- and/or life-threatening complications. However, in stark contrast to Western medicine-which focuses on the empirical and scientific dissection, analysis, diagnosis, and profitable treatment of singular biological organ systems or body parts via medical specialties-holistic traditional medicine distinguishes itself to take into consideration the complete person in the treatment of injuries and illnesses-physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually. 
In traditional medicine, poor health, disease, misfortune, or even unexpected successes are not viewed as chance occurrences but are imbalances believed to arise from the actions of individuals or ancestral spirits. At its core, traditional medicine can be defined as "health practices, approaches, knowledge and beliefs incorporating plant, animal, and/or mineral-based medicines, spiritual therapies, manual techniques and exercises, applied singularly (or in combination) to treat, diagnose, and prevent illnesses or maintain well-being" (Fokunang et al., 2011). So, we can argue that almost every global region has had, at one time or another in its history, a form of traditional medicine. However, despite being consigned to a secondary placement in the health planning of developing countries, traditional medicine practices are gradually undergoing systemic revitalizations and rehabilitations, particularly in the last two decades.

A Critical Introduction

Major Cases in Climate Law

Scotland's Constitution: Law and Practice, Fifth Edition provides a clear, comprehensive account of Scottish constitutional law within its UK and (continuing) European context. It describes and analyses constitutional arrangements while integrating that analysis with a general background to constitutional law and the UK institutions which have relevance for the government of Scotland. This highly regarded text considers law-making powers for Scotland, the legislative process at Westminster and at Holyrood, the accountability and scrutiny of government, the independence of the judiciary and the role of the courts in interpreting and adjudicating upon constitutional and administrative law questions. The Fifth Edition has been fully updated throughout and includes: - Coverage of new case law since the last edition including the Supreme Court's rulings that the Scottish Parliament does not have the power to authorise an independence referendum and on challenges brought to Scottish legislation by the UK Government - Streamlined material on Scotland's constitutional history - New material on children's rights and equalities law It provides an essential introduction to constitutional law for law students, Scots Law practitioners, and for others with a general interest in the subject.

"[The] written style is admirably clear, conversational and free from jargon . It will be of immense interest to anybody with a general interest in UK law, politics and history." Times Higher Education This engaging, authoritative text has, since its very first edition, maintained its position as the market-leading introduction to the constitution of the United Kingdom. Adopting a thematic approach, it discusses questions of history, sources and conventions, the role of the Crown, Parliament and the electoral system, government and the executive, the judiciary, and the territorial distribution of power. In addition, it offers analysis of the evolution of the UK's historic non-codified constitution, its strengths and perceived weaknesses, and of reform initiatives. The new edition systematically examines the impact of the recent developments, including how COVID changed how government operated, the revolving door of Prime Ministers, the election of the Labour government, and the accession of King Charles III. Though introductory in approach, it does not shy away from the complexity of the constitutional landscape in the United Kingdom. It provides a contextual overview of the principles, doctrines and institutions that underpin the elusive constitution, allowing students of law and politics, both from the UK and abroad, to develop an informed view of how it actually works.

Sustainable Development Goals Series

This volume provides a nuanced analysis of the profound impact left by the dissenting opinion in the Tokyo Trial by Justice Radha Binod Pal's&nbsp;ideological stance on modern international criminal law. It consists of a detailed examination of this bold opinion on post-war justice that built the legacy of Justice Radha Binod Pal. Through an interdisciplinary perspective, this collection analyses the contemporary impact of Justice Pal's dissent and his ideologies and how they can impact contemporary dialogue in international law revolving around fairness, justice, accountability and inclusivity in international law and global power dynamics. It explores the intersection of his critique with contemporary concerns such as the decolonisation of international law, the legitimacy of global legal institutions, and the pursuit of a just world order. By engaging with issues such as territorial conflicts, and the role of legal pluralism, this volume aligns with the broader objectives of SDG16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), offering a critical lens on how international law can evolve to promote equitable and transparent global governance. With contributions ranging from analysis of historical perspectives to examination of contemporary implications, the edited volume shall be essential for readers interested in international law and scholars established in the research field of international criminal law, international humanitarian law and human rights, fair global order and the evolving role of dissent, inclusivity, cultural and social contextualisation.

Studien des Leibniz-Instituts für Friedens- und Konfliktforschung

This book examines one of the most important questions in peace research: What leads to enduring peace after civil wars, and what leads to the resurgence of violence? For decades, intrastate conflicts have been the predominant form of armed conflict, and most recent civil wars were conflicts that recurred. The research presented in this book focuses on influenceable factors, first and foremost on the type of civil war termination and on the post-civil war order that is shaped by the distribution of military power between the former warring parties and the scale of political compromise. Moreover, it shows that the peacekeeping environment has a major influence on whether peace endures. The insights provided in this book are relevant for the academic community, and for decision-makers and practitioners involved in civilian or military efforts to establish and preserve peace.

Sustaining Peace After Civil War

An epic story of espionage, love, and sacrifice in Africa.
1960s Africa, 13-year-old Elen, determined to escape her arranged marriage to an old man, absconds from Ethiopia to Eritrea, hoping to find her aunt living in the capital city, Asmara. Meanwhile, Germai escapes his abusive stepmother after the death of his beloved father only to end up homeless and starving on the streets of the city. Overcoming the odds, Elen and Germai both grow up to be successful business owners, each with their own lives and families. When the Derg regime overthrows the government, they turn Asmara into a nightmare of roaming bands of soldiers, randomly beating and shooting civilians with impunity. Wading through the bloodbath of the Red Terror, Elen and Germai are recruited to the Eritrean People’s Liberation Front (EPLF) as spies. Facing abuse and execution if discovered, they fight for cash and weapons, and mine contacts for information.&nbsp;
The stakes rise as the horror of Derg-sanctioned torture leaks out of dissident detention centers. Elen and Germai struggle to face their precarious fight for justice and a growing passion for each other. As they fall in love, they are faced with uncomfortable moral choices, tragedy, and heroism in a struggle and a cause bigger than their own lives.
Born at the End of the World tells a powerful true story of patriotism, love, camaraderie and heroism no less uplifting or appalling than Schindler's List.
