Описание: This book explores US policy in Africa and the challenges facing Nigeria in development, good governance, and security, including the possibilities of US-Nigerian collaboration on issues of global security. This book emphasizes the growing role that Nigeria will play in global security in the twenty-first century as the African regional power.
Описание: Although democracy is becoming the prevalent and acceptable form of governance in such Sub-Saharan African countries as Nigeria, there is need to understand the domestic dynamics under which electoral competition influences the quality of leadership and national development. The major purpose of the book is to explore and explain the circumstances under which elections play crucial roles in the job performance of elected political elites and its effects on the development of Nigeria. There are obvious linkages between the basic political values of a democratic state and the leadership performances of elected officials, as well as its national development. The effects of the interactions of unethical political behaviour and sluggish improvements of the already poor national development are evident in Nigeria. In comparison with other African and Asian countries, Nigeria at its independence, had dynamic public institutions, competent professionals, and a vibrant civil society; and was considered the "phoenix of African hopes"1. Contrary to expectations, Nigeria has remained a nation-state, which by all democratic and leadership criteria, performs poorly in comparison with similar nation-states in Sub-Sahara Africa. Although the colonial legacies constitute part of Nigeria's political and developmental problems, it still remains unfortunate that, unlike Malaysia, Indonesia, and India with similar legacies, Nigeria has been unable to formulate policies that promote national integration and effective leadership. The problem of economic underdevelopment in Nigeria is, therefore, more complex than the effects of such exogenous factors as colonialism. Obviously, the authoritarian military regimes, which interrupted elected democratic regimes through coups d' tat, have impeded the political development processes. Even the so-called democratic regimes have been simply electoral dictatorships that combined regular elections with a number of democratic deficits; such as corruption, poor systems of checks and balances on the executive and ineffective legislative branch of government. These civilian regimes have used the conduct of multiparty elections to mask the prevalent authoritarian domination, plagued by election-rigging, abuse of power, and widespread corruption. The low levels of electoral competition in the political system of Nigeria have had adverse effects on the quality of leadership, as well as the development of the nation. Genuine electoral competitions create and guarantee accountability; serve as constraints on executive arbitrariness; and improve representation and participation. These in turn, create a balance between the politician who is supposed to supply good governance and the citizens who demand good governance.

Описание: This book examines the role of the legislature in the democratic governance of Nigeria. Once one of the foremost political institutions of governance established in the early days of Colonial administration in Nigeria, the legislature has had an inconsistent role since statehood, subject to repeat dissolution at the hands of various military regimes. Focusing on the Nigerian Fourth Republic’s National Assembly (1999-present), this book discusses in detail the ways in which the national assembly has handled each of its major functions, the nature of the relationship between the assembly and the legislature, and the institutional mechanism through which its internal business is facilitated and executed. Furthermore, the chapters examine the level of assertiveness of the legislature, and the degree of importance and weight attached to their contributions to governance in motions, resolutions, and law-making. This book offers a unique look into legislative studies, an area which has been historically overlooked in the research on the Nigerian government, and will be useful to students and researchers in African studies, democracy and state-building and legislative studies.

Описание: This book studies the Suzhou Industrial Park, a flagship project between the governments of Singapore and China, in a holistic manner, by highlighting not only its economic progress but also the developments on the social front such as its neighbourhood centres, schools, housing and talent attraction. The success of the Park should be assessed keeping in view not only its economic achievements alone, but also its ability to attract residents to live and play in it. Making the Suzhou Industrial Park economically and socially attractive is thus a perennial challenge and remains key to the continued success of the industrial park.This book details Suzhou Industrial Park's latest effort in industrial upgrading and transformation in terms of new growth areas as well as the challenges faced. It examines the social achievements of the Park, which are critical in enhancing the overall attractiveness of the Park and distinguishes it from other industrial parks in China and elsewhere. It also highlights how the experiences of the Suzhou Industrial Park is being replicated not only in the Jiangsu province, but also in other provinces and autonomous regions in China.

Описание: The book is the first of its kind to deal with almost the entire swath of water resources assessment, development and sustainable management. The idea of the book crystallized during the long journey of the Editors on various facets of water issues in India and abroad during their extended association, at all levels with the Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, as well as International Organizations dealing with water.
Currently water-stressed, India is likely to become water scarce in not too distant a future. The global freshwater supply and its sustainable use for human consumption, and conservation of the ecosystem have never come under such a rigorous scrutiny before. The unplanned and reckless exploitation of this precious resource have led to a crisis situation, compounded by a real threat of climate change. This book is, therefore, timely and of particular relevance not only to India but the entire world.The book contains 20 chapters, beside the lead article by the Editors. The chapters are contributed by the eminent professionals, researchers, academicians and civil society representatives having an in-depth understanding of the issues. The contents of the chapters have been chosen to represent all aspects of water. The assessment of water resources using satellite data and in-depth analyses of groundwater sector like, the Aquifer Mapping Programme initiated by Government of India, application of gravity satellite data to assess the resource build up, artificial recharge of aquifers and its contamination, are dealt with by eminent experts. The articles on sustainable management of water through good governance by community participation and involvement of civil society are placed. Flood management both through a basin level approach as well as by building resilience in vulnerable areas is discussed. Other critical issues like water bodies management, constitutional provisions, water governance and financial issues, hydro-power and need of research and development in this sector are also dealt with aptly. In view of emerging crisis and complexities in this sector the future pathways and the paradigm shift that is required in administrative and policy level is also discussed.
