The Political Economy of Colonialism and Nation-Building in Nigeria
This book examines the ways in which colonialism continues to define the political economy of Nigeria sixty years after gaining political independence from the British. It also establishes a link between colonialism and the continued agitation for restructuring the political arrangement of the country. The contributions offer various perspectives on how the forceful amalgamation of disparate units and diverse nationalities have undermined the realization of the development potential of Nigeria. The book is divided into two parts. The first part interrogates the political economy of colonialism and the implications of this on economic development in contemporary Nigeria. The second part exami...
Perspectives on Cooperative Law
This book contributes to the development of literature on cooperative law while paying tribute to Hagen Henrÿ’s significant impact on this field at a global scale. Hagen Henrÿ is one of the most influential scholars in the field of cooperative law. His primary contribution has been in the area of public international cooperative law. His other areas of scientific interest include development law and comparative law. This honorary volume is focused on two main axes -- the essence of cooperatives as well as their activities and their governance. The contributions throw light on how these two axes are addressed by cooperative legislation across countries, regions and continents. In the varied perspectives that the contributions put together, both a theoretical and practical approach, the authors address central, current and crucial issues for the development of cooperative law. The book is a great resource for researcher scholars, as well as policy makers and industry players interested in the topic.

This edited collection summarizes, discusses, and analyzes new innovative trends in social finance. It features contributions that aim to highlight emerging trends (products, tool...

Economía social y solidaria en la educación superior: un espacio para la innovación (Tomo 2)
El segundo tomo de la colección Economía social y solidaria en la educación superior: un espacio para la innovación aborda temas relacionados con los modelos y enfoques pedagógicos. Aquí se da relevancia a la reflexión epistemológica que subyace en las disciplinas y se incluye la economía social y solidaria como objeto de estudio que permite responder a la crisis de la civilización. Se incluyen también procesos en el aula que suscitan vínculos con la investigación formativa y las metodologías activas. Se exponen desarrollos curriculares que muestran un potencial para promover la retención y graduación de estudiantes a través del cooperativismo. También se muestra cómo este modelo socioeconómico y ambiental es la base de un ejercicio de integración e interacción con la sociedad a partir de un programa de reciclaje y manejo de residuos. Además, se presenta la buena práctica del tecnopolo o parque tecnológico de la Universidad pública de Yaundé II (Camerún), donde, a través de la economía social y solidaria, confluyen la docencia, la investigación y la proyección social para el beneficio de la comunidad y la universidad.
Formation Des Elites Et Restructuration de L'enseignement Supérieur en Afrique Subsaharienne
The papers in this volume were presented at a conference organized by the Institut Français de Recherche en Afrique (IFRA) at the University of Ibadan on the 26th and 27th of October 1998, as part of the 50 anniversary celebrations of the University. This conference brought together scholars from anglophone and francophone countries who have been collaborating on a research programme which is concerned with elite formation and the restructuring of higher education in sub-Saharan Africa. The project was originally conceived in 1996 by IFRA and the Centre d'Etude d'Afrique Noire (Bordeaux, France). Nigeria, with more than 50 per cent of the continent's university student population and 40 universities, constitutes the major thrust of the study; nevertheless the reports on Kenya, Senegal and Niger are equally informative and demonstrate that survival strategies and student unrest and 'cults' are not exclusive to Nigeria.
