The Diverse Facets of Corruption in Sierra Leone

The autobiography of rev Maxwell Mezuwa Banda

Steadfast and Solid

Palgrave Studies in Entrepreneurship and Society

This book offers a pioneering analysis of Jua Kali (a Kiswahili term meaning “under the hot sun,” referring to Kenya’s informal sector) artisans in Kenya, elucidating their vital role in the informal economy through the lens of social networks and entrepreneurial performance. By employing a sequential exploratory mixed-methods approach, it explores artisans’ lived experiences and examines how social network attributes shape the success of Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs). The book traces the evolution of Jua Kali from the 1970s to the present, situating these enterprises within Kenya’s socioeconomic landscape.
Readers will discover how artisans utilise networks to overcome constraints such as limited capital, restricted market access, and regulatory hurdles. The chapters delve into the dynamics of network size, diversity, strength, and structure, revealing their impact on entrepreneurial success. The authors provide a comprehensive framework that links network attributes to the performance of SMMEs, offering insights into trust, collaboration, and market opportunities. This work advances debates in entrepreneurship and development studies, presenting actionable strategies for fostering sustainable growth in Kenya’s informal sector.
Academics, policymakers, and development practitioners will find this book invaluable. It is essential reading for those interested in entrepreneurship, microenterprises, and social networks, offering a unique perspective on grassroots innovation and economic independence in developing economies.
Reuben Mulwa Kivuva serves as an adjunct lecturer at the Catholic University of East Africa and Kiriri Women’s University of Science and Technology, teaching courses such as Gender, Development, Social Change, and Rural and Urban Sociology.

De Gruyter Handbuch / De Gruyter Handbook

In an increasingly complex and interdependent world, international organizations are vital components of global governance and arenas for cooperation and norm-building and standard setting. At the same time, they accumulate and provide knowledge and expertise and act as implementing agents in areas ranging from sustainable development over security and beyond. The Handbook of International Organizations offers both a conceptual introduction to academic debates and a broad overview of the goals, tasks and effectiveness of global, regional and issue-specific international organizations. Expanding the scope of the first volume substantively, the book now includes chapters on XXX international organizations. Chapters in the first part discuss international organizations in relation to theoretical debates in the study of International Relations and the current global context. In the second, lexical part, chapters outline the evolution, operations and current challenges of individual international organizations and provide sources for further research. Students of International Relations and related fields will find a reliable source to consult for seminal information and current trends in international organizations research.

All Roads Lead to Reform: a Financial System Fit to Mobilize $1.3 Trillion for Climate Finance

Cette œuvre traite des questions cruciales relatives à la lutte menée par les marginalisés contre les systèmes oppressifs en Afrique de nos jours. La problématique de la corruption, du tribalisme et de la mauvaise gérance y est traitée avec acuité, mettant en relief les défis du discours subalterne dans un contexte postcolonial. L'auteur explore avec finesse les paradigmes étatiques qui silencent les voix subalternes, perpétuant ainsi les inégalités socio-économiques sur le continent africain. Ce travail contribue à amplifier les voix subalternes. Il est essentiel pour comprendre les dynamiques de pouvoir en Afrique contemporaine. Il serait intéressant d'explorer davantage les pistes de résistance et de mobilisation face à ces systèmes oppressifs. - Professeur Patrice Nganang, Stony Brook University, New York, USA
This work addresses crucial questions relating to the struggle led by the marginalized against oppressive systems in present-day Africa. The issues of corruption, tribalism, and mismanagement are treated with acuity, highlighting the challenges of subaltern discourse in a postcolonial context. The author skillfully explores the state paradigms that silence subaltern voices, thus perpetuating socio-economic inequalities across the African continent. "This work contributes to amplifying subaltern voices. It is essential for understanding power dynamics in contemporary Africa. It would be interesting to further explore avenues of resistance and mobilization in the face of these oppressive systems." - Professor Patrice Nganang, Stony Brook University, New York, USA

Le subalterne peut-il parler?

Aporie

Since independence in 1980, the lives of Zimbabweans have been inextricably linked to the nation's turbulent political landscape. Central to this narrative is the post-2000 rivalry between the ruling ZANU-PF - led by Robert Mugabe and later Emmerson Mnangagwa - and the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). Despite the MDC's eventual fragmentation, Morgan Tsvangirai and his successor, Nelson Chamisa, remained the defining figures of the opposition. While ZANU-PF's electoral victories have frequently been marred by documented allegations of fraud and violence, this volume offers a nuanced, holistic analysis. It argues that the opposition itself shoulders significant responsibility for its failures, providing a critical counter-perspective on 21st-century Zimbabwean power struggles. This book is an essential resource for scholars and students of history, political science, and human rights.
