Financing and Management

Climate Change in Africa

Palgrave Studies in Emerging Risk Management and Sustainable Finance

This handbook addresses the integration of economic, social, and ecological factors to achieve balanced and enduring financial decisions, focusing on both the challenges and the opportunities in sustainable finance globally. In addition to reviewing recent work in this area, the book offers insights into promising academic, practical, and regulatory advancements in the field.

This handbook explores new developments in sustainable funding and investment strategies, sustainable risk-return management, and digital sustainable finance. The book takes a forward-looking and future-oriented perspective to accompany the sustainability transformation. As the global economy and its participants try to navigate and address growing concerns relating to climate change, a detailed understanding of the current research and practical advances in the field is of utmost importance.

As such, the handbook offers both a conceptual discussion of sustainable finance alongside a collection of instruments to create, manage, and regulate sustainable investments. It includes contributions from theory and practice, i.e., a combination of theoretical and applied models with a forward-looking and innovative approach to current advances in the field. In addition, it explores the integration of sustainable finance and digitalization. It will be of interest to students, researchers, and practitioners of sustainable finance and impact finance.

The Palgrave Handbook of Sustainable Finance

Discover how past climatic events have shaped economic, political, and social structures.
&nbsp;
This book discusses the effects of climate change on major historical junctures, including: the evolution of our species to anatomically modern humans, human dispersal from the cradle of humanity, the peopling of our world over time, the transition to sedentary life, the introduction of farming, the collapse of complex societies, the demise of civilizations, the decline of kingdoms and empires, the outbreak of conflicts, and the spread of infectious diseases. Historical episodes explored include the evolution of hominins, human migration patterns, the development of agriculture, and the rise and fall of civilizations especially during the 4.2 ka event, the Late Bronze Age Crisis, and the Little Ice Age. Blending theoretical perspectives and evidence from multiple disciplines, the book examines how climate anomalies have led to societal changes.
Exploring the interplay between climate and economies, Climate Change, Economic Channels, and Historical Junctures amplifies the connections between climate change and human history. Throughout the book, economist Sherif Khalifa emphasizes the economic consequences of climate change, offering unique insights into how environmental factors have driven historical outcomes. Chapters underscore the significance of understanding these historical patterns to predict—and mitigate—potential future impacts of ongoing climate change.
&nbsp;
Sherif Khalifa is Professor of Economics at California State University, Fullerton. He also served as a diplomat for Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. His research is oriented around a few key areas, including development economics, international economics, political economy, and Middle East affairs. He is the author of Geography and the Wealth of Nations as well as Egypt’s Lost Spring.

“
 Propaganda Studies in Criminology 
 constructs a missing bridge between the two critical discourses of the 20th century that most candidly confronted the emotional and moral features of populism in politics and penalty in the 20th century the confluence of which is now unmistakable in the 21st. Scholars of both fields will owe an enormous debt to this collection and its editors.”

 “This is a ground-breaking collection that showcases what can be gained by using propaganda studies as the lens through which to enliven the criminological imagination. The editors and the contributing authors have produced a text of remarkable range and sophistication, transforming our understanding of “fake news” and the politics of misinformation more generally. It is an outstanding achievement.”

 , Professor of Criminology, University of Essex, UK
 “A blazing volume that convincingly establishes propaganda as a crucial issue for criminology. The book constitutes a critical intellectual project tracing the common elements in Nazi messaging, the US War on Drugs, Indonesian genocide, far right environmental propaganda in Aotearoa (New Zealand) and Australia and more.”

 “
 Propaganda Studies in Criminology 
 breaks new ground for the field by taking propaganda seriously as a topic. It does so in diverse and novel domains that open up the propaganda lens in a way that is theoretically fertile and substantively interesting.” 
 &nbsp;-John Braithwaite
 , Distinguished Professor, Australian National University, Australia
 This edited collection comprehensively introduces propaganda studies to criminology academics, practitioners and students. It brings to life the challenges of analyzing, researching and responding to the problems of propaganda. It uses a broad definition of ‘propaganda’ to include such phenomena as ‘fake news’ and AI or algorithmic methods of control. It includes some more classic readings and analysis of propaganda studies through contemporary case studies, such as the war on drugs. It provides a key resource for research and teaching.Deborah H.

African Studies and Research Forum Series

This monograph offers a detailed examination of the role of Chinese infrastructure development aid and foreign direct investment (FDI) in the economic growth of three key African countries: Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Kenya. The author argues that a significant positive correlation exists between Chinese infrastructure aid and investment and the GDP growth in these countries. Furthermore, the author examines whether a dependency relationship exists between Chinese infrastructure aid and FDI in these nations. This point is crucial as it explores these economies' long-term sustainability and autonomy, questioning whether they are becoming over-reliant on Chinese aid and FDI. Using comparative analysis, the book discusses the impacts of China's infrastructure projects across both economic and social dimensions. This work is an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners who wish to understand the intricacies of China's involvement in Africa. It contributes to informed decision-making and policy formulation by shedding light on the impact of development through a well-rounded comparative perspective. The insights provided will benefit those involved in development economics, international relations, public policy, and African studies.

Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology

Prison building has moved from the margins to the mainstream of our penal politics. In recent years the UK Government has invested billions in new prison building and the main political parties are currently locked into a penal arms race over who can, and who will, build the most additional prison places in England and Wales. Prison building is now widely lauded as the definitive policy solution to the current prisons crisis and yet, this remains an elusive sphere of penal policymaking. Academic research remains in its infancy, and we still know very little about how these large investment decisions are made, by whom and for what reasons.
In seeking to shine a light on this subterranean and largely closed sphere of contemporary penal policymaking, this book presents the first systematic study of prison building programmes in England and Wales since the mid-1990’s punitive turn. Drawing upon extensive archival research, 28 exploratory qualitative interviews, publicly recorded data, historic satellite imagery and other mapping techniques this book has three main aims: (1) to provide an authoritative historical account of prison building activity in England and Wales since the mid-1990s punitive turn, (2) to explain why successive governments have chosen to invest in new prison building programmes and (3) to reflect upon how the prisons we build - functionally, architecturally, geographically – continue to shape our politics long after they have been constructed.

Development and Its Discontents is a critical examination of development studies' history and what it has become, and what it might yet be. It argues that the field is increasingly differentiated along competing modes of thought, worldviews, and claims to knowledge, bringing long-running debates about the study of development back into sharp focus. Drawing on cross-disciplinary thinking on development, from the rise of classical development economics and the anti-colonial momentum of the Bandung era to contemporary decolonial critiques, the book maps the intellectual currents that have shaped development studies and the tensions and debates that now structure it. The result is a framework for recognising the field's internal pluralism and for taking interdisciplinarity more seriously, without pretending that its disagreements are merely semantic. For scholars and students, Development and Its Discontents offers a guide to the intellectual architecture of development studies, its contested boundaries, and the questions now shaping its future.
