The Governance, Security and Development Nexus
This edited book analyses the changing links between governance, security and development in Africa as they relate to the narrative that contemporary Africa has made remarkable progress in recent years, a phenomenon popularly known as “Africa rising.” The book presents a rigorous evaluation of the Africa rising debate and consequently offers innovative policy guidelines for Africa’s governance and development transformation.
Insights into Policies and Practices on the Right to Development
As the world continues to grapple with a range of practical development challenges that are directly linked to livelihood concerns about human well-being and declining living standards, often overlooked is the human right to development, which remains largely unfulfilled. In the face of successive global initiatives seeking to remedy these challenges, it has become urgent to ask what the universal recognition of the right to development implies if it cannot be translated into improved well-being for impoverished peoples around the world. The contributors in this timely volume argue that setbacks to development are deeply rooted in the failure to implement the right to development, which by nature guarantees equality of opportunities and equitable redistribution of the resources that contribute to better living standards. Assessing policy and practical measures (or the lack thereof), they offer practical suggestions for implementation that will make the right to development a reality for everyone.

Addressing Health Disparities: Ethnic Inequalities, Global Disease, and the Imperative for Leadership and Community Action in Public Health
In the past days, the noble profession of public and community health was often looked upon with derision, as the health workers themselves failed to project a professional image and instead appeared as though they were casually engaging in domestic activities. This had the unfortunate consequence of leaving those in the community, families, and patients who interacted with them feeling downcast and gloomy. As an advocate for the field for over twenty-five years, I have had the opportunity to address this issue at numerous forums. However, I am pleased to note that in recent times, the community and public health workers have taken a more proactive approach to health promotion. They now present themselves as sharp, professional, and positive role models, not unlike esteemed educators and scholars. No longer do they appear more dispirited than their clients but rather exude a demeanor that inspires and uplifts those around them.
Corporate Finance and Financial Development
This book addresses key issues in corporate finance and explores them from financial development and financial stability perspectives in emerging markets. Emerging economies are susceptible to rapidly changing financial sectors and products as well as financial upheavals. In this light, the growing interdependence of states and capital markets, and the risk of crises have an impact on the financing of firms. The chapters in this book highlight how companies and policies in emerging markets are affected and deal with the current post-crisis world. By combining academic and industry insights, the critical issues in corporate finance, financial development, and the preparedness of emerging markets are explored.
