Leading in the 21st Century

The Call for a New Type of African Leader

Routledge Studies in Health in Africa

Over the past 30 years, an ever-expanding community of global health actors have been intervening in the poorest parts of the world with the aim of combatting disease and improving health outcomes. While many global health programmes in the Global South have been successful in saving lives, their successes have often been compromised by poor coordination, inefficiency and a lack of alignment with national priorities.This book outlines the deep historical and political dimensions of this fragmentation, using rural Zambia as a case study. In the name of global health, different actors produce and circulate radically different stories about how to improve health. These narratives not only contribute to a fragmented landscape of health provision but also create more subtle and pervasive forms of fragmentation in the everyday lives of health workers, patients and government officials. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in rural Zambia, this book examines three different global health interventions driven by differing stories of salvation, community and experimentation. Tracing the longer history of these stories, the book shows how they have failed to account for the realities of life in rural Zambia.Providing an innovative and nuanced analysis of global health that challenges the idea of fragmentation as simply a technical problem, this book will be an important read for researchers of global health and African studies.

Palgrave Studies in Maritime Politics and Security

This book examines the occurrence and repercussions of insecurity on Africa’s oceans and seas, their impact on state sovereignty, national security, and the economy, and looks at how it could be moderated, eradicated, or combated. Maritime security is generally and primarily associated with piracy in the world’s oceans. But it is expansive and broader than that. As such, the book also looks at extralegal activities such as illegal fishing, kidnapping, human trafficking, smuggling, pollution and erosion, terrorism, that occur not only in the world’s oceans but also in regional seas, rivers and ports. The authors also focus on how national measures to combat maritime insecurity work alongside inter-governmental organizations and legislation such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

Routledge Studies in Entrepreneurship and Small Business

Technology Entrepreneurship in Africa examines how technological innovation, policy reform, and inclusive ecosystems are reshaping the future of business and development across the continent. This book brings together contemporary research, empirical case studies, and practical insights to explore how African entrepreneurs are using technology to solve local challenges, create jobs, and drive sustainable economic transformation. Covering examples from diverse sectors and regions, it highlights how digital platforms, fintech solutions, and artificial intelligence are redefining enterprise creation, while also addressing social and structural inequalities.Written for both academic and general audiences, the book combines theoretical analysis with real-world perspectives to show how entrepreneurs are navigating infrastructural gaps, financial constraints, and institutional complexity. Readers will encounter examples of how mobile money systems expand access to finance, how start-ups harness renewable energy to promote sustainability, and how young innovators and women-led enterprises are building resilient digital ecosystems. Across 14 chapters, contributors demonstrate that Africa's technology entrepreneurs are not merely adapting to global trends, but also, they are actively shaping the direction of the global digital economy.This book is both an analytical resource and a call to action. It challenges conventional narratives that frame Africa as a follower in technological innovation and instead presents the continent as a source of creativity, resilience, and leadership. By connecting technology with inclusion, policy, and sustainable growth, the book offers valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, investors, and practitioners committed to advancing equitable and transformative innovation.

Technology Entrepreneurship in Africa

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.

Natural Resource Cooperatives in Africa

This book charts a path for developing a uniquely South African affirmative action regime. It proposes a transformative approach to affirmative action, one capable of untangling and dismantling the tensions that arise between the South African Constitution's promise of equality and the reality of being the world's most unequal society. Against the background of South Africa's commitment to transformative constitutionalism and substantive equality, the book demonstrates how affirmative action measures can be designed and implemented in a way that tackles deeply ingrained inequality. By examining the affirmative action jurisprudence of the South African Constitutional Court, as well as the courts in Kenya, the United States, Canada, and India, the book outlines how the courts, the legislature and executive policymakers in South Africa should address fundamental questions that arise in the design and implementation of affirmative action. These questions include what affirmative measures should aim to achieve (for what purpose?), how to determine beneficiary groups (for whom?), with a focus on quotas, the permissible forms that affirmative action could take (through what means?), and whether there is a set end-date for affirmative action (for how long?). By illustrating the possibility of a transformative approach to affirmative action, this book responds to the growing critique of affirmative action from both the left and right in South Africa and adds to the global conversation on the utility of affirmative action in the fight to eradicate inequality.

'A brilliant and captivating work ... There is simply no better book on Islam in history' Eugene Rogan From its birth in seventh-century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. In Worlds of Islam, James McDougall explores its origins and transformations from Late Antiquity to the digital age. Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia, and the remote interior of China. By the nineteenth century, Islam encompassed a world of great diversity, from Muslim-ruled empires to nations where Muslims lived out their faith among many others. In the twentieth century, while monarchs in the Gulf asserted dynastic privilege and fundamentalists in Egypt and Pakistan preached social morality, revolutionaries from Algeria to Indonesia fought for national self-determination, and activists in North America and Europe campaigned for civil liberties and social justice. As empires fell and new superpowers rose, Muslims proved to be as adaptable and dynamic as modernity itself. Sweeping and authoritative, Worlds of Islam narrates the epic story of how Muslims emerged as a community, built empires, traversed the globe, came to number in the billions, and became modern.

Worlds of Islam

This volume addresses the important, but under-noticed, question of the impact of state size and scale for constitutional law and governance, and brings together leading global scholars to focus on the lessons from a range of small states and jurisdictions in this context.

Often, the best way to understand the effect of scale is to examine states where scale is demonstrably lacking. Doing so allows a form of "reflective" comparison that provides greater insight and clarity into the significance of state size, and constitutional scale, as a factor affecting a range of democratic constitutional outcomes. The volume also explicitly invites critical reflection on, and problematisation of, the issues of line-drawing and boundary definition around notions of state and jurisdictional size.

The collection features contributions by scholars from a wide range of jurisdictions, living and working across the Global South and North, and includes attention to the constitutional experiences of small states and jurisdictions in Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, the Caribbean and Oceania that have not received much coverage in the literature. As such, it makes a meaningful contribution to regionally-focused constitutional debates. This is especially significant in the Caribbean and Oceania, where a large percentage of states are small states, and there is only a limited body of constitutional scholarship focusing on the constitutional experiences of such jurisdictions. More generally, this volume will be of interest to audiences working in and interested in small states generally, as well as a broader comparative audience interested in issues of scale in constitutional design and implementation.
