New Nationalisms and China's Belt and Road Initiative
This book is a treatise on cultural globalization and the global political economy. By introducing the transnational public domain in the study of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the book goes beyond existing theoretical frameworks involving both the ‘clash between civilizations’ and the ‘time-worn division’ of the world into North and South. It advances a new focus on the theoretical and empirical elements that canvass global cultural behaviours and reactionary attitudes to the expanding Chinese economic norms, cultures and values in different national contexts. Readers of political theory, global political economy, globalization, international relations, political sociolo...

China's Belt and Road Initiative in Africa
This book provides insight into the economic partnerships between African governments and China offered by the Belt and Road Initiative. It examines the Belt and Road Initiative from a macro and microeconomic perspective to present a detailed understanding of the transformation of African development policies since the initiative began. Particular attention is given to the historical context behind the Belt and Road Initiative, the financing of infrastructure and public services in Africa, the spread of technology from China to Africa, China's position within the global political order, African energy markets, and the development of special economic zones. This book grounds analysis of the Belt and Road Initiative within specific policies and case studies from Africa. It will be relevant to students, researchers and practitioners interested in development economics and the political economy. R. Mireille Manga Edimo is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Yaoundé II, Cameroon. Julien Rajaoson is a lecturer at the University of Franche Comté, France.

Mending Democracy
The fabric of contemporary democracy in many liberal Western societies is in tatters. Citizens are disconnected from their elected representatives, they are fractured and polarised in the public sphere, and alienated from increasingly complex systems of public policy. These disconnects - in the representative relationship, in the public sphere, and in the policy-making process - are weakening the very fabric of our democracies. This book develops the idea of democratic mending as a way of advancing a more connective and systemic approach to democratic repair. It is informed by three rich empirical cases of connectivity in practice, as well as cutting-edge debates in deliberative democracy.Th...
Post-Colonial Cameroon
In this unique volume, leading scholars examine how Cameroonians organize and experience their lives under Cameroonian leadership and local responses to that leadership. The volume offers essential case studies that allow us to examine the lives of ordinary people in post-colonial Africa through five lenses: politics, society and culture, economy, international relations, and migration. It places the nation’s contemporary challenges within a broader political, economic, and socio-cultural context, and uses that to make recommendations for future directions. The book also celebrates areas in which the country has done well and calls on its citizens to build on those achievements. This volume is forward-looking and as such raises important questions about issues of development, ethnicity, wealth, poverty, and class.

Regionalism versus Multilateralism
November 1996 Do the forces that regional integration arrangements set up encourage or discourage a trend toward globally freer trade? We don't know yet. The literature on regionalism versus multilateralism is growing as economists and political scientists grapple with the question of whether regional integration arrangements are good or bad for the multilateral system. Are regional integration arrangements building blocks or stumbling blocks, in Jagdish Bhagwati's phrase, or stepping stones toward multilateralism? As economists worry about the ability of the World Trade Organization to maintain the GATT's unsteady yet distinct momentum toward liberalism, and as they contemplate the emergenc...
