Demystifying Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
"This important book breaks new ground in an important emerging area of research and practical applications. The comprehensive approach will help improve corporate and economic governance in a world that is facing severe ecological and related crises. Therefore, this is a most timely contribution." -Haider A. Khan, John Evans Distinguished University Professor & Professor of Economics, University of Denver "Presenting the perspectives of two people who are the embodiment of Africa, this book makes an important contribution to the debate on this increasingly urgent subject. I thoroughly commend the authors for their honesty and their desire to present an African perspective to a conversation ...
Demystifying Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
Addressing a topic at the forefront of global interests in business and development, this book is the first comprehensive book in the world that addresses ESG wholistically. It combines academic and practical content through multidisciplinary analysis, integrating economics, statistics, finance, strategic management and mathematics with an African focus. The book argues that ESG is largely in the interest of the firms/companies themselves, in addition to benefitting the larger society in which they exist. It also makes it everyone's responsibility to play a part in addressing global climate challenges. Thus, the book views the survival of the corporations, economies and the larger societies as interlinked. It will be of interest to researchers, policymakers and business persons in and outside of Africa.
Islamic Finance as a Complex System
There has been a rapid increase in the interest in the study of Islamic finance, resulting in a dramatic rise in financing since the beginning of the century. By the end of 2017 global industry assets had reached $2.4 trillion and were forecasted to reach $3.2 trillion by 2020, despite historic challenges to Islam itself at the same time. This collection of chapters provides key theoretical, empirical, and policy insights into Islamic finance from an overall complex financial and economic systems perspective. Within the complex financial and economic systems framework, this book addresses questions such as how to conceptualize Islamic financial institutions in a nonlinear general equilibrium system, how to promote Islamic Finance in Africa, how “Islamic” is Islamic finance, and how it affects price stability, among other topics. The book provides case studies in Africa and Asia, addresses the subject in a structural financial CGE model, demonstrates the development impact of Islamic finance, and presents an Islamic version of the Iceland Plan for Monetary Reform.
Feminist Policymaking in Turbulent Times
Feminist Policymaking in Turbulent Times offers a unique and timely reflection of the critical debates around the institutionalisation of feminist and gender-focused ideas and norms into policy. Many states and non-governmental organisations are increasingly invested in ‘feminist policymaking’ at the domestic and international levels. Yet, this liberal (feminist) agenda is also vastly disputed by critical, intersectional, and decolonial voices on the one hand, and by anti-gender movements around the world on the other hand. Indeed, while opposition to ‘gender ideology’ is mounting from reactionary, religious, and secular forces, feminist policymaking is also being challenged in impor...
The Routledge Handbook of Ecofeminism and Literature

Food security and nutrition in the age of climate change
After steadily declining for over a decade, global hunger is on the rise again, while various forms of malnutrition coexist. Climate change is already exacerbating this grim picture, which is why food security and food production will be a major focus of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 6th Assessment Cycle. Thanks to the participation of 250 experts from all around the world, the International Symposium on Food Security and Nutrition in the Age of Climate Change highlighted the importance of food and agricultural systems in the fight against climate change and presented concrete multi-sector solutions to address this global issue. The event placed special emphasis on the re...
Le naufrage du Joola dix ans après
Ce livre est un hommage aux morts et aux survivants du naufrage du Joola survenu dans la nuit du 26 au 27 septembre 2002, vers 23 heures, au large des côtes gambiennes. Les deux parties de l'ouvrage honorent les victimes en les unissant dans des chants, d'abord sous la forme de poèmes écrits pour la plupart peu de temps après le drame, dans l'émotion sous le choc des événements ; ensuite, en épelant tous les noms figurant sur la liste détaillée que l'auteur a contribué à établir, pour servir de litanie incantatoire invoquant les disparus et les rescapés et les sauvant ainsi de l'oubli. Les poèmes représentent des invocations, des dialogues avec les morts et les survivants. Be...
