The Diverse Facets of Corruption in Sierra Leone

Where are the Rural Youths?

The question of job creation in Malawi

Das vergangene viertel Jahrhundert hat gezeigt, dass sich die wirtschaftliche Lage Chinas extrem gewandelt hat. Die Wirtschaft ist in einem raschen Prozess enorm gewachsen. Eine zu schnelle wirtschaftliche Veränderung führt zwar zu mehr Wohlstand sowie zu mehr politischen und gesellschaftlichen Freiheiten für die Bevölkerungsmehrheit, bringt aber auch gravierende soziale und politische Konsequenzen mit sich: Soziale Destabilisierung und Ordnungsverlust sind im heutigen China vorzufinden.1 Diese sind u.a. durch die Umformulierung der Wirtschaftsethik im Rahmen der Wirtschaftsreformen nach 1978 und das daraus resultierende Anwachsen von Korruption verursacht. Im Zusammenhang mit der Korruption sind auch soziale Netzwerke (Guanxi-Netzwerke) in China als Folge sozialer Unsicherheit (Netzwerke geben den Betroffenen Sicherheit) als weitere Ursache anzusehen, wenn Guanxi-Netzwerke als illegale Austauschbeziehungen verstanden werden, weil sie auf die Erzielung von Macht und privaten Vorteilen abstellt. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es die soziökonomischen Faktoren Chinas (Wirtschaftsethik und Soziales Kapital bzw. Guanxi-Netzwerke) vorzustellen und die Einflussmöglichkeit dieser Faktoren im Kontext mit der Korruption auf die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit hin zu untersuchen. Dafür ist es sinnvoll, empirische Studien heranzuziehen.

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.

Future of Energy

This open access book sheds new light on the challenges and opportunities of downstream diversification in countries rich in critical minerals. Written by leading experts, the book highlights examples of successful downstream diversification and assesses strategies and policies that can help resource-rich countries develop their downstream energy technology industries and capture more value from critical mineral resources.The book explores various industries, including supply chains for batteries and other energy transition technologies, as well as issues such as industrial and tax policies to promote downstream diversification, infrastructure development, education and training, regulatory frameworks, and public-private partnerships. By examining various success criteria, this book aims to provide valuable insights for both academics and policy makers.

Au Bout Des Larmes

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

Political Corruption and Governance

This open access book examines the intricate connection between family and corruption within both the realms of business and government. While corruption is conventionally characterized as a socially harmful and ethically wrong phenomenon, and family is typically viewed as fundamental to social cohesion, this book argues that these constructs frequently intersect in real-life situations. Kinship ties often function not solely as sources of emotional solidarity but also as channels facilitating illicit transactions and resource misappropriation. From minor nepotism to large-scale state capture, family relationships frequently shape how corruption is organized, justified, and sustained. Drawing on interdisciplinary theories and case material, this book develops a much-needed theory of family corruption. By challenging the conventional dichotomy that segregates family from formal institutions, the analysis reveals how deeply family relations are embedded in everyday social orders, superseding universalistic norms and overriding rational bureaucratic considerations.
