Bringing Up Children in Ghana (1962) covers a whole spectrum of child training from birth to maturity, including nursing and feeding, sibling relationships, parental discipline, sexual behaviour, puberty rites, children's household chores. The studies were conducted by the Child Development Research Unit at the Institute of Education, University College of Ghana, and presents an in-depth survey of the intimate life of the young in Ghana.

Bringing up Children in Ghana

Sub-Saharan Africa faces a constellation of economic and geopolitical headwinds. Many economies in the region are fragile, and many are still developing the capacity to respond adequately to frequent shocks and policy challenges. Despite the region’s significant potential, its future remains uncertain due to external conflicts and increasing climate-related shocks. Megatrends such as global demographic changes, digitalization, and the rise of Artificial Intelligence present both opportunities and the need for transformative policies going forward.
This book examines these challenges and opportunities through the lens of Sierra Leone’s economy—a nation that, over the past twenty years, has been on a gradual path to recovery from the severe scars left by the civil war. While much has been written about Sierra Leone’s civil war and the country’s experience with an Ebola outbreak, less attention has been paid to its economic challenges over the past decade and the successes in, and barriers to, overcoming economic vulnerability. This book provides in-depth analysis and strategic policy advice to underscore the significant impact reforms can have in a country still finding its footing after periods of instability. The authors drill down into specific areas of economic policy which may offer lessons for countries grappling with similar issues, in the sub-Saharan African region and beyond.

Routledge Research in Legal Philosophy

This book explores democratic development in Indonesia-the world's third-largest democracy after India and the United States. Through case studies, it looks at two rival versions of democracy-the republican form and the electoral form-and posits that electoral democracy is not sustainable without republican institutions, laws, and norms. In recent years, there has been growing instability in Indonesian democracy, with brutal fighting among political forces and deep polarization. This book contends that what needs to be explained is not the democratic decline in Indonesia but rather the deviant form of democracy that the country has been practicing since the fall of the military dictatorship. It is argued that in the last twenty-five years, Indonesia has practiced a Schumpeterian form of democracy with a heavy emphasis on election while neglecting the minimum threshold of a healthy republican form of democracy: political participation, equality of virtues, and the principle of nondomination. The book invites readers on an intellectual journey to explore the republican ideal through the lenses of philosophy, law, politics, and the history of the problem of democracy in Indonesia.

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.

China's Infrastructure Aid and Investment

A stunning memoir that transforms our understanding of a generation born at a key turning point in world history 'Very moving, very powerful . . . an extraordinarily interesting life' AMOL RAJAN 'A rough Zimbabwean equivalent of Jung Chang's Wild Swans' Financial Times 'Beautifully written . . . a truly compelling read' Spectator 'Intimate and epic' SATHNAM SANGHERA In my home country, they call me a 'bornfree'. Simukai Chigudu was one of the first generation to be born after the end of colonial rule in Zimbabwe. Growing up he heard stories about his grandfather's murder by the Rhodesian regime, how his father had been imprisoned and tortured as a student before joining the war of independence, and how his mother had thrown off the strictures of the past to build a successful career helping other women do the same. Yet Simukai's early life was also steeped in British tradition. With his classmates he sang English folk songs, read Shakespeare, played cricket. Then, in 2002, he was one of thousands to leave the country as it descended into political violence and economic collapse. His new home: a boarding school in the north of England. What followed was a culture shock that unravelled his understanding of the world, his family and himself. Chasing Freedom is his profound and remarkably moving story - that of a boy shaped through his parents' buried trauma by the great currents of late-twentieth century history. It is the story of a family haunted by the cause of liberation, and of a new generation, still searching for their promised freedom. 'A work of real power and beauty as well as disarming truthfulness' AMIA SRINIVASAN, author of The Right to Sex 'Utterly captivating . . . told with such clarity and precision that I forgot I was reading' DINA NAYERI, author of The Ungrateful Refugee 'Will teach you more about the legacies of colonialism than a hundred op-eds or a dozen textbooks' SATHNAM SANGHERA, author of Empireland 'Simukai Chigudu writes compellingly, lucidly and beautifully . . . an eye-opener' ZEINAB BADAWI, author of An African History of Africa

Coming of Age at the End of Empire

Chasing Freedom

From the award-winning author of The Lost Pianos of Siberia comes a new journey, following four 19th century elephants marched from the East African coast towards Congo to tell a heartbreaking story of folly and colonial greed. INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE STANFORD'S TRAVEL WRITING BOOK OF THE YEAR 2026 WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR WRITING ON CONSERVATION 2025 SHORTLISTED Best Summer Books of 2025: An illuminating tale of imperial ambition and ineptitude.' FINANCIAL TIMES 'A beautiful, intelligent and heartfelt book, a brilliantly researched account of an imperial fever dream alongside a no less feverish contemporary journey' THE SUNDAY TIMES 'History and travelogue combine wonderfully in this tale of colonial plunder and hubris.' GUARDIAN In 1879, King Leopold II of Belgium launched an ambitious plan to plunder Africa's resources. The key to cracking open the continent, or so he thought, was its elephants ? if only he could train them. And so he commissioned the charismatic Irish adventurer Frederick Carter to ship four tamed Asian elephants from India to the East African coast, where they were marched inland towards Congo. The ultimate aim was to establish a training school for African elephants. Following in the footsteps of the four elephants, Roberts pieces together the incredible true story of this long-forgotten expedition, in travels that take her to Belgium, Iraq, India, Tanzania and Congo. The storytelling brings to life a compelling cast of historic characters and modern voices, from ivory dealers to Catholic nuns, set against rich descriptions of the landscapes travelled. Digging deep into historic records to reckon with our broken relationship with animals, Training School for Elephants reveals an extraordinary and enduring story of colonial greed, ineptitude, hypocrisy and folly. Praise for Training School for Elephants: 'This is a marvellous book, an important footnote to history - of Sophy Roberts' intrepid travel with a real purpose, shining a light on colonialism, Belgian and British, and their peculiar obsessions.'' - Paul Theroux, author of The Great Railway Bazaar 'Masterfully weaving adventure, intrigue and the darker truths of colonial ambition into a story as gripping as it is eye-opening.' - Levison Wood, author of Walking the Nile 'Deeply researched. Brings to life a bizarre and long-forgotten story of Africa with empathy, intriguing encounters and memorable characters, not least the elephants themselves.' - Luke Pepera, author of Motherland: A Journey through 500,000 Years of African Culture and Identity 'Sophy Roberts brings history to life, tackling difficult, sensitive subjects with careful, exquisite prose. Unputdownable.' - Mary Harper, author of Getting Somalia Wrong? 'A brave and searching book, rich in history and fierce in spirit. The best sort of travel writing: handsome prose, teeming with humanity and an unwavering sense of wonder.' - Justin Marozzi, author of Baghdad, City of Peace, City of Blood 'A cautionary tale from the early days of the Scramble for Africa, but poignant and scholarly too. Roberts writes beautifully.' - Thomas Pakenham, author of The Scramble for Africa 'A rich, engrossing tapestry of greed and disregard for life ... Few write as compellingly as Roberts, this is her as only she can write.' - Amal Chatterjee, author of Across the Lakes

This edited volume explores the evolution of public sector reforms in Nigeria since the return to democracy in 1999. Marked by decades of inefficiency, corruption, and underperformance, Nigeria’s public sector has long required structural transformation. It critically examines the reform initiatives that emerged under President Obasanjo’s administration and beyond, offering a comprehensive review of the strategies, outcomes, and lingering challenges across multiple administrations. With an emphasis on democratic governance and developmental state-building, the book contributors explore reform efforts in civil service restructuring, digital governance, anti-corruption, education, agriculture, pensions, security, housing, and power sector transformation. This volume also assesses policy tools like the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS), Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021-025 (FCSSIP25), and the role of innovation in service delivery. Special attention is given to sector-specific case studies and the use of empirical and econometric approaches to evaluate reform impacts.It includes comparative perspectives from Ghana, South Africa, and Côte d’Ivoire. This volume not only enhances the sparse academic literature on Nigeria’s public sector reforms but also provides practical insights for policymakers, scholars, and reform practitioners.By situating Nigerian reforms within the broader context of democratic consolidation and governance reforms in Africa, this work underscores the public sector's pivotal role in delivering services, implementing policy, mobilizing revenue, and strengthening intergovernmental coordination. It will benefit scholars, students, policymakers, and development partners engaged in African governance, public administration, and institutional reforms.David U. Enweremadu

Public Sector Reforms and Democracy in Nigeria's Fourth Republic

This book considers Higher Education institutional change as a layered process, where change is interconnected across institutional arrangements. A three-layered consideration of the Higher Education institutional change frame is then advanced. The book further conceptualizes Higher Education within the dual identification of its organisational and institutional frames, thereby highlighting the agency and structural conundrum that ought to be constantly negotiated in its change process. In addition, given the complexities of higher education institutionalism, this book also considers historical trajectories as points of departure for further institutionalization, with the possibilities of different paths taken by different Higher Education entities.
