Описание: Thisfourth edition has been comprehensively rewritten and updated to provide a concise, well illustrated and accessible introduction to the characteristics, challenges and opportunities of sustainable development with particular reference to developing countries. The contested nature of sustainable development is explored through a detailed consideration of changing ideas and practices within environmentalism and development thinking.The text identifies the different actors involved (from institutions of global governance through to community based organisations), the policies and mechanisms through which sustainable development is being sought and considers the outcomes for particular groups and environments in both rural and urban contexts. ?? This edition places stronger emphasis on the global challenges of sustainable development with an understanding of inter-linked crises in climate, energy, economy, poverty and social injustice. It explores how these issues are leading to deep questioning of what sustainable development is, what it should be, and how sustainable development policies and mechanisms are being reconsidered.The book gives new consideration to the challenge of achieving lower carbon growth, climate adaptation, and the implications on sustainable development of rapidly expanding economies, including China and India.It contains greater discussion of how civil society movements influence outcomes of international climate policy, as well as technological developments in energy and agriculture. The text also contains a substantially expanded discussion of how poverty remains central to sustainable development challenges, as revealed through the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment and Millennium Development Goals. This invaluable text retains the core message that sustainable development has become central to debates about environment and development.Containing a substantial number of new boxed case studies, learning outcomes, chapter summaries, discussion questions, further reading and websites, this text provides an essential introduction for students.

Despite many attempts to reshape corruption as an economic issue rather than a political one, the non-political mandate has never been satisfactorily addressed.

Описание: This proposed book intends to provide a reference resource to showcase insightful perspectives on the 21st century realities of foreign capital flow and their implications on the economic development of Africa. The foreign capital sources will constitute foreign direct investment (multinational corporations and, small and medium multinational enterprises), development aid, remittances and foreign debt. Our main goal and novel1 contribution to the literature will be to answer a question that has never been asked before 'Who benefits Africa more in the 21st century, the BRICS2 or OECD3 countries?' Effectiveness of foreign capitals from conventional sources (OECD countries) will be analyzed and compared to those from non-conventional sources (BRICS countries) that have gained prominence in recent years. The book will offer hard-headed prognosis on the state of Africa's external financial resources and how to facilitate efficient policies necessary for meaningful, sustained and inclusive growth. It will provide an in-depth analysis of fundamental domestic factors such as information and communication technologies (ICTs) and non-ICTs infrastructure development (socio-economic infrastructures); policies; financial sector liberalization and access to financial resources; innovation, research and development and; resource extraction] that determine how foreign capital flow impact economic development in Africa with differential effects across the continent. We expect the outcome of this book to be profoundly refreshing with evident methodological pluralism and conceptual reflexivity. Our vision is to deliver a comprehensive work of reference to be cited as an authoritative source on the subject. This title will have a particular relevance and resonance with the changes currently taking place in Africa as the continent strides out more confidently towards effective integration in the global economy. We envision a volume of compelling academic and policy significance.

Описание: Explaining the determinants of China and India’s development cooperation in Africa cannot be achieved in simple terms. After collecting over 1000 development cooperation projects by China and India in Africa using AidData, this book applies the method of qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) to understand the motives behind their development cooperation. Mthembu posits that neither China nor India were solely motivated by one causal factor, whether strategic, economic or humanitarian interests or the size of their diaspora in Africa. China and India are driven by multiple and conjunctural factors in providing more development cooperation to some countries than others on the African continent. Only when some of these respective causal factors are combined is it evident that both countries disbursed high levels of development cooperation to some African countries.
Описание: Ever since the signing of the World Heritage Convention 40 years ago and ratified by 33 African countries, to date, only 43 cultural heritage sites have been successfully proclaimed as World Heritage Sites in Africa.
