The Horn Engaging the Gulf
This book discusses theoretical perspectives of analyzing the relations between the states and non-state actors in the Horn of Africa and their counterparts in the Persian Gulf and the Middle East. Crucially, these relations are examined primarily from the perspective of the diplomatic, economic, and strategic agency of the African states and societal actors. Here, domestic political dynamics and local power play a significant role. Aleksi Ylönen provides a historically informed investigation of recent relations that involve the Gulf States and Türkiye's resurgent interest in the Horn Africa. The analysis focuses on the post-Arab Spring period following the Iran nuclear deal and the war in Yemen. Featuring case studies from Ethiopia, Somalia, and Eritrea which highlight engagements of the Horn state and societal actors primarily with the Gulf States and Türkiye, the study provides an empirical analysis of the interactions and connections between the two regions.
Tobacco Control in Africa
This volume utilizes the work initiated and executed under a recent major public health initiative, the African Tobacco Situational Analyses (ATSA), which was sponsored by the Canadian government's International Development Research Centre (IDRC) with funds from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The program was conceived to illuminate the factors that will facilitate the reform of major public health policies, particularly, but not limited to, tobacco. The results, presented in this volume, are an important contribution to the literature on global public health and international development, and comprise the most comprehensive evidence-based analysis of tobacco policy in the African region.

Il paesaggio violentato
Già da qualche anno i due conflitti mondiali, da tempo non più oggetto di interesse dei soli storici politici e militari, sono stati esaminati considerando anche gli aspetti socio-economici e, soprattutto, il grado di coinvolgimento delle popolazioni civili. Si tratta adesso di “dare voce” anche a chi non la possiede: gli animali, la natura, il paesaggio. Questo volume intende offrire alcuni contributi originali o, per usare le parole di Emilio Sereni, l’autore della Storia del paesaggio agrario italiano, dei «limitati sondaggi», per suggerire nuove ricerche, ispirate anche dalle nuove sensibilità del nostro tempo.
Traditional Institutions in Contemporary African Governance

The contributors investigate the organizational structure of traditional leaders, the level of adherence of the traditional systems, how dispute resolution, decision-making, and resource allocation are conducted in the traditional system, gender relations in the traditional system, and how the traditional institutions interact with the formal institutions.

"(...) The editor makes an important contribution to our knowledge of this important text, editing it for the first time in its entirety from four manuscripts, as well as providing informations on several further previously unknown manuscripts." (Alessandro Bausi, in: Aethiopica 18, 2015, p. 257-260) "In sum, Tedros Abraha has provided a reliable edition of this interesting Ethiopic gadl. It is a solid contribution to future scholarly work on hagiographic literature in Ethiopia and will undoubtedly prove to be itself an important point of reference. The wonderful Ethiopic characters used in this work pay homage to the high standard of the Patrologia Orientalis." (Michael Waltisberg, in Bibliotheca Orientalis, LXXIV/1-2, 2017, p. 155).

One-Volume Libraries: Composite and Multiple-Text Manuscripts
Composite and multiple-text manuscripts are traditionally studied for their individual texts, but recent trends in codicology have paved the way for a more comprehensive approach: Manuscripts are unique artefacts which reveal how they were produced and used as physical objects. While multiple-text manuscripts codicologically are to be considered as production units, i.e. they were originally planned and realized in order to carry more than one text, composites consist of formerly independent codicological units and were put together at a later stage with intentions that might be completely different from those of its original parts. Both sub-types of manuscripts are still sometimes called "m...
