Abstract:

The volume Africa and Its Historical and Contemporary Diasporas, edited by Tunde Adeleke and Arno Sonderegger, is a fundamental collection that thoroughly examines various aspects of Africa’s historical and contemporary diasporas, particularly emphasizing their global significance. The authors adopt different approaches to exploring the diaspora's history and present-day challenges, covering economic, political, cultural, and religious factors related to the African continent and its diaspora.The work plays a pioneering role in shifting the concept of diaspora beyond the history of slavery and

Abstract:

AbstractThis study investigates an aspect of the African Diaspora that to date, has received scant attention. Environmental affairs of African Colombians have been woefully understudied and largely undocumented in major international scholarship. This is surprising since Colombia has the second largest Africandescendant population in Latin America, and the AfricanColombian territory in the Pacific coast is one of the most biologically diverse regions on the entire planet. The potential economic advantages of this could be enormous for African Colombians and has affected their models of develop

Abstract:

The article discusses the features of migration in the Republic of Angola. The country has a strong demographic and economic potential. Migration processes occur in two directions: there is an immigration to the country of qualified and highly qualified specialists, return forced migrants; and labor and educational migrants emigrate from the country. Between Angola and Portugal there are fairly stable migration ties. The largest Angolan diaspora outside of Africa has formed in the former metropolis. Portugal attracts Angolans with a common language, historical ties, labor market opportunities,

Abstract:

Gender plays a vital role in different aspects of development. Much research on women empowerment and economic development has focused on the disparity between male and female, especially the salaries they receive and some focus on women not equally contributing economically to their societies. Scholars agree that women contribute greatly to their family’ economic development. Through a questionnaire involving 20 African women from more than 5 African countries who currently reside in America and England, this study explores factors which contribute to their academic and professional success i

The study shows that diasporas as network communities have already formed among recent migrants from many African countries in the U.S. These are diasporas of immigrants from individual countries, not a single “African diaspora”.

Abstract:

Many years ago Melville Herskovits argued that music has a special use in the study of cultural contact in the diasporan situation. Herskovits was much involved in exploring African retentions in the New World. He believed that “[t]he peculiar value of studying music ... is that, even more than other aspects of culture, its patterns tend to lodge on the unconscious level” (19). Put another way, “Music is particularly stable in the contact situation because it is carried subliminally, thus making it resistant to direct attack” (Merriam 306).

Only four countries had net growth rates above 1% per annum mean growth rate of ECOWAS region. At the estimated growth rate, the prospect of accelerated growth in ECOWAS is very weak.

The objective of the research was to ascertain whether, when compared to a system'of standards, the theoretical promise that economic incentives offered as a low cost solution to the abatement problem, would hold in practice. This was done by applying environmental economic theory to the practical problem of controlling the effluent generated by firms in the South African leather industry. It was found that in this instance the theory did indeed hold in practice. Furthermore, it was found that of the incentives discussed by the theory, marketable permits were the most economically efficient. I

This study focuses mainly on the influence of the macro-economic environment on the contribution of the private sector to construction in the South Africa economy from 1984 to 2011. Government construction work is considered to be an injection into the economy; in this regard, state construction is regarded as public investment in the economy; and therefore, it is anti-cyclic (Keynes, 1936).

Abstract:

South Africa has the largest number of people living with HIV and AIDS in the world. A concerted effort is needed to address this epidemic, lest a socio-economic crisis may cripple the country. Education may be the most powerful weapon in this regard, with universities playing a critical role in addressing this concern. In 2015, a funding program was initiated by Universities South Africa to facilitate this integration. Subsequently, the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering at a South African University of Technology set out to re-design their curricula to include vita

Abstract:

The internationalisation of Higher Education is an evolving non-linear phenomenon, associated with the globalisation of the world economy in the way it affects the needs and objectives of education. Over the past decades it has increasingly become a fundamental part of governmental agendas, through the interconnections between student learning, employment, university governance, education diplomacy, knowledge economy, socio-economic impacts and countries’ strategies to influence international reputation. As a result, it affects global politics, and the world's economy. In a world divided by co

Abstract:

The African Commonwealth countries have a long-standing history of strong trade, investment and diaspora linkages with the UK. These economic relationships have been fostered over time as a result of historical ties, similar business procedures and legal systems, and the widespread use of the English language. Together, these 21 countries represent about 40 per cent of the continent’s population and half of its gross domestic product (GDP). They also play a crucial role in driving international trade and investment flows from Africa. This issue of Trade Hot Topics explores the trade and invest

Abstract:

The new elite in post-1991 independent Moldova gradually captured state institutions, while internal drivers of reforms have generally been weak. Civil society has had limited effectiveness; and the media is largely dominated by political and business circles (BTI, 2022). The Moldovan diaspora has emerged in recent years, however, as a powerful driver of reform. In addition, new political parties and politicians have in recent years focused on common social and economic problems, rather than exploiting identity and geopolitical cleavages. These two developments played a crucial role in the tra

Abstract:

As countries across the globe pursue economic development, the improvement of individual and societal well-being has increasingly become an overarching goal. In the global South, in particular, high levels of poverty, inequality and deteriorating social fabrics remain significant challenges. Programmes and projects for addressing these challenges have had some, but limited, impact. This occasional paper analyses well-being in Gauteng province from a capability perspective, using a standard ‘capability approach’ consistent with Amartya Sen’s first conceptualisation, which was then operationalis
