Overcoming the Corruption Conundrum in Africa
This book adopts a holistic approach to identifying what could be done to surmount the corruption conundrum in the African continent. It acknowledges the objective reality of corruption in Africa, and identifies primary solutions to the issue. The volume takes a socio-legal approach in order to reveal the nature and extent of corruption, and suggests that solutions can be found simply by interrogating how society reacts to it. In conjunction with this, the book identifies and critiques constraints in the formation of a definitive definition of corruption. As shown here, although it is critical for African states to develop anti-corruption strategies, the solution to the problem requires an understanding of the significance of political will, and how the lack thereof has led to the endurance of corruption in Africa.
Challenging Corruption in Asia
"Challenging Corruption in Asia provides an analytical framework to explore and attempt to answer these questions. Drawing on their experience as public policy advisors and implementers of anticorruption programs, the authors outline a six-step approach to developing effective anticorruption strategies tailored specifically to a country's pattern of corruption and conditions of governance. Case studies are written by researchers and policy advisors from Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and South Korea. Together, they illustrate the impact of country-specific patterns of corruption and governance on anticorruption effectiveness. Emphasis is placed on choosing anticorruption instruments suited to the governance environment, on the key roles played by anticorruption champions, especially civil society organizations and the media, and on the need to make information on the extent and perceptions of corruption widely available." --Résumé de l'éditeur.
Transitioning Education in Africa
Transitioning Education in Africa: External Education Providers, Emergencies, and Authoritarian Structures explores how transitions from education in emergency to post-conflict education systems are planned and managed at the national level. Currently, education for refugees is largely accomplished in emergency or crisis situations by external education providers (EEPs) in authoritarian contexts. Using historical analysis of education policies, appreciative inquiry surveys, and semi-structured interviews, Gia Cromer argues that despite historic and current international community stated goals of increasing government capability to provide education, neither EEPs nor refugee-hosting countries...

The book provides a comprehensive and insightful understanding of these algorithms, in context with their applications developed recently and also for immediate future communication technologies. It also covers the topics on how to develop intelligent algorithms for computing functionality in the end-to-end networking platforms. Moreover, the book also covers the recent developments, open technological challenges and future directions in the areas of data analysis, applications of the game theory, autonomous entities, evolutionary computation, smart ubiquitous computing and intelligent architectures with major focus on communication technologies and computing platforms.
Great Powers and US Foreign Policy towards Africa
This book addresses one main question: whether the United States has a cohesive foreign policy for Africa. In assessing the history of the United States and its interactions with the continent, particularly with the Horn of Africa, the author casts doubt on whether successive US administrations had a cohesive foreign policy for Africa. The volume examines the historical interactions between the US and the continent, evaluates the US involvement in Africa through foreign policy lenses, and compares foreign policy preferences and strategies of other European, EU and BRIC countries towards Africa.

Agonistic Democracy and Islamism in Indonesia
Agonistic Democracy and Islamism in Indonesia offers an in-depth analysis of the dynamic relationship between Islamism and democratic governance in post-Suharto Indonesia. Drawing from extensive fieldwork in Cianjur, Indonesia, this book challenges prevailing assumptions about the inherent incompatibility between democracy and Islamism, offering new perspectives on how these forces can coexist through processes of contestation and compromise. By examining the complex socio-political landscape where Islamist and nationalist movements vie for influence, the book highlights the fluidity of both ideologies in adapting to local contexts. The study sheds light on the broader implications for democracy in Muslim-majority countries, emphasizing the importance of context-specific analysis in understanding the intersection of religion, politics, and governance. Ideal for scholars of political Islam, Southeast Asian studies, and democratic theory, Agonistic Democracy and Islamism in Indonesia provides a crucial contribution to debates on the future of democracy in pluralistic societies.
