Spanning across Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia, the enclosed contributions explore the historical evolution, present ecosystem, and future expectations of women entrepreneurs across the region. Specifically, the book examines the socio-economic and cultural backdrops that have shaped women’s entrepreneurial journey as well as how historical legacies, such as colonialism and post-independence developments, have influenced current entrepreneurial dynamics.Providing actionable insights, innovative strategies, and practical solutions, this book is a comprehensive resource for policymakers, researchers, academics, and practitioners in the field of women entrepreneurship and African development.

Religionswissenschaft

Religiöse Minderheiten und religiöse Mehrheiten lassen sich nicht durch Größe oder Merkmale kategorisieren, sondern werden durch Zuschreibungen bestimmt. Die Beiträger*innen fokussieren auf diese Zuschreibungen und die dadurch entstehenden Minderheiten-Mehrheiten-Konstellationen. Mit Blick auf plurale Gesellschaften der Gegenwart analysieren sie, was religiöse Minderheiten und Mehrheiten ausmacht, in welchem Verhältnis sie zueinander stehen und welche Folgen diskursive Bezugnahmen, Eigen- und Fremdbezeichnungen sowie Ein- und Ausschlüsse für die Selbstwahrnehmung, Konstituierung, Positionierung und Kommunikation religiöser Minderheiten haben.

Religiöse Minderheiten - religiöse Mehrheiten

7 Lebensgeschichten ist eine Sammlung von Erinnerungen und Erfahrungen, die das Leben des Autors und seines Begleiters Franky Hollyday prägten. Aufgewachsen in der Ostzone, der damaligen DDR, hat Franky ein Vierteljahrhundert seiner Zeit an das damalige Regierungssystem und dessen russische "Aufpassdiktatoren" verloren. Doch dieses Buch ist mehr als nur eine Aufarbeitung der Vergangenheit. Es ist die poetische Reise eines ewigen Jungen, der erkennt, dass die wahre Kraft nicht in der Natur oder der Gesellschaft zu finden ist, sondern in der Entscheidung, ob man sich von den Widrigkeiten des Lebens brechen lässt oder unbeirrt sein eigenes Schicksal weiterträgt.

7 Leben Geschichten

Wenn die Zimmertür laut knallt, stehen viele Eltern ratlos da. Neben dem alltäglichen Teenie-Chaos stellt sich Randa Weiser ganz eigenen Herausforderungen: Sie ist in Deutschland geboren und in einem muslimischen Elternhaus aufgewachsen — nun zieht sie Kinder mit familiärer Migrationserfahrung der dritten Generation auf. Wie gelingt Erziehung zwischen Tradition und Freiheit, zwischen damals und heute? Ein warmherziges Buch über die Kunst, Brücken zwischen Generationen und Kulturen zu schlagen.

Palgrave Studies in African and Development Economics

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the land economy of Ghana, a country that has experienced rapid economic changes and complex governance challenges.

Practical solutions are offered to address common land related issues, such as tenure insecurity, land disputes, and market inefficiencies, and to maximise the land’s economic potential, in line with sustainable development principles.This book is an essential resource for understanding the land economy and Africa’s rapidly evolving economic landscape. It will be relevant to students, researchers, and policymakers interested in the land economy and development economics.Felix Nikoi Hammond

Resourceful Kingdoms investigates the struggle for control over Uganda’s emerging oil sector, centering on the Bunyoro Kingdom’s unsuccessful effort to secure ownership of resources discovered on its ancestral lands. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, the book shows how the military-backed National Resistance Movement government consolidated authority over an estimated two billion barrels of oil, while Bunyoro communities experienced displacement, land loss, political tension, and significant environmental harm even before production began. The Bunyoro case reflects a wider pattern in which rural, resource-rich populations across Africa are marginalized as governments and multinational corporations convert natural resources into state-centered revenues. The book further explores how indigenous kingdoms might come to own resources and channel revenues toward sustainable, culturally grounded development. Through comparative case studies of Uganda’s powerful Buganda Kingdom and South Africa’s Bafokeng Kingdom-widely recognized for community-based mineral ownership and effective wealth management-Resourceful Kingdoms illustrates how traditional institutions can pair with corporate structures, private land ownership, and diversified investment strategies to strengthen community prosperity. From this analysis emerges strategic coexistence, a new framework that outlines how kingdoms can secure resource rights independent of shifting state policies or corporate social-responsibility initiatives. Presented as both a philosophy and a set of practical steps, strategic coexistence urges kingdoms to formalize land ownership, build strong indigenous governance systems, create community-owned corporations, reinvest resource revenues in long-term development, and transition away from dependence on extractive industries. Resourceful Kingdoms ultimately repositions African kingdoms as dynamic, contemporary governance institutions with significant potential to influence natural resource administration and advance community well-being.

Resourceful Kingdoms

Seit Jahrtausenden leben Vampire verborgen unter den Menschen. Sie haben einen Pakt geschlossen, den die acht großen Vampirfamilien mit ihrem Blut unterschrieben und der alle einhundert Jahre erneuert wird. Ludwig soll im Auftrag seines Schöpfers an der Zeremonie teilnehmen. Dafür zieht er in eine unscheinbare Wohnung in einer Kleinstadt in England. Er ahnt nicht, dass ihm gegenüber ein Vampirjäger wohnt - und ebenso wenig, dass die anderen Vampirfamilien ganz und gar nicht gewillt sind, den Pakt erneut zu unterzeichnen.

The Vampire Next Door | Farbschnitt in der 1. Auflage

This book explores Chinese engagement in Africa’s mining sector within the context of international business. Conceptual and empirical contributions by diverse authors examine mining activities of Chinese companies in several African countries. Emerging from those contributions is a theory of minimal investment, defined as the degree to which the companies invest minimally in African operations, communities, and countries just for them to get by (i.e., function as normal).&nbsp;&nbsp; 
The volume presents four conditions that explain why minimal investment persists as a dominant logic of foreign firm behaviour in Africa. Institutions permit it, strategies enact it, heritage legitimizes it, and reactions stabilize it. Minimal investment has produced order, and order is safety both for firms and often for host institutions alike. Optimal investment, by contrast, introduces ‘danger’ because it changes the status quo, redistributes power, and mitigates African rather than firm risk. The Theory of Minimal Investment (TMI) reveals how underinvestment is an intentional, albeit seemingly rational, historically embedded, and institutionally sustained strategy of engagement. 
Coming at a time in which African countries are seeing a surge of Chinese interest in Africa, this book offers a cautionary tale of the consequences of organizations seeking the ‘help’ of Chinese companies. It will appeal to International Business studies and strategy researchers interested in interorganizational relationships, particularly from the African perspective.

The Consequences of Minimal Investment

Chinese Engagement in Africa's Mining Sector

This book provides a clear, systems-level blueprint for fixing Africa’s housing crisis by rebuilding the mortgage and housing finance infrastructure that makes large-scale homeownership possible. Rather than treating housing as a construction or subsidy problem, it reframes the crisis as a failure of financial architecture.
Across Africa, millions of homes are needed, demand is real, and capital exists, yet housing delivery remains slow, expensive, and exclusionary. The missing link is the absence of integrated mortgage origination systems that can translate households, land, and projects into financeable assets. Without long-term mortgages, developers build only for cash buyers, banks lend defensively, and cities expand informally.
Drawing on firsthand experience in the U.S. mortgage industry and deep engagement with African housing markets, the book examines structural barriers including short loan tenors, high interest rates, fragmented land systems, weak credit recognition, expensive capital, and disconnected institutions. It will be of interest to researchers and practitioners of housing finance.
