Book Synopsis Africa’s Natural Resources and Underdevelopment by : Kwamina Panford
Download or read book Africa’s Natural Resources and Underdevelopment written by Kwamina Panford and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-02 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how African countries can convert their natural resources, particularly oil and gas, into sustainable development assets. Using Ghana, one of the continent’s newest oil-producing countries, as a lens, it examines the "resource curse" faced by other producers - such as Nigeria, Angola, and Equatorial Guinea - and demonstrates how mismanagement in those countries can provide valuable lessons for new oil producers in Africa and elsewhere. Relying on a broad range of fieldwork and policymaking experience, Panford suggests practical measures for resource-rich developing countries to transform natural resources into valuable assets that can help create jobs, boost human resources, and improve living and working conditions in Ghana in particular. He suggests fiscal, legal, and environmental antidotes to resource mismanagement, which he identifies as the major obstacle to socioeconomic development in countries that have historically relied on natural resources.

Download or read book Africa written by Raymond Nelson (C.) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What wove the African continent into the rich fabric of cultures and peoples that it is today? Where did ancient culture, trade and civilization begin? How did the African people survive and thrive despite European colonization and apartheid? These are just some of the questions you'll find answers to in Africa: African History from Ancient Egypt to Modern South Africa. Africa is a vast continent whose waters, fertile lands, minerals, and diverse wildlife nurtured humankind since ancient times until European colonization and exploitation caused immeasurable suffering and loss. To understand how Africa developed, thrived, suffered, and emerged into the rich tapestry of peoples that it is today, take a trip back to the ancient River Nile and the East African coast. Witness the development of small settlements into three distinct cultures ; the Carthaginian Empire grow and flourish as an economic and commercial power ; the settlement of the Zimbabwe plateau and the construction of enormous stone cities ; the emergence of the Kingdom of Kongo and its expansion through peaceful trade and alliances ; the upheaval, atrocities, wars, and eventual stability created by European colonization ; the founding of the Congo Free State and the growth of forced labor to extract valuable resources from the land ; the decolonization of Africa and the return of territorial sovereignty and independence ; the forced racial segregation under apartheid and the birth of a new constitution that ended it ; the founding of the African Union to establish norms across the continent.

Book Synopsis Prosperity in Rural Africa? by : Dan Brockington
Download or read book Prosperity in Rural Africa? written by Dan Brockington and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What does it mean to say that rural areas of Africa are poor? Many people insist that in rural African populations poverty is prevalent. This is either because the smallholder agricultural practices are unproductive or it is because economic policies have not protected and promoted African farming. But whether this deprivation is the fault of the peasant, or the government, both sides agree on the facts of rural poverty. However in both cases rural poverty is described using measures which make it hard, if not impossible, to capture new forms of wealth that rural people may be accruing. These new forms of wealth, which largely comprise productive assets, are especially important because they feature so prominently in rural peoples' own definitions of wealth. Using an unprecedented collection of longitudinal surveys, in which experienced researchers have revisited villages that they have known for decades, the volume tracks surprising increases in assets in diverse locations in Tanzania. The result of these findings is a compilation which is fascinating in itself and important for the understanding of rural economies' development data and agricultural policy"--Publisher's description.

Book Synopsis Property and Political Order in Africa by : Catherine Boone
Download or read book Property and Political Order in Africa written by Catherine Boone and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-10 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In sub-Saharan Africa, property relationships around land and access to natural resources vary across localities, districts, and farming regions. These differences produce patterned variations in relationships between individuals, communities, and the state. This book captures these patterns in an analysis of structure and variation in rural land tenure regimes. In most farming areas, state authority is deeply embedded in land regimes, drawing farmers, ethnic insiders and outsiders, lineages, villages, and communities into direct and indirect relationships with political authorities at different levels of the state apparatus. The analysis shows how property institutions - institutions that define political authority and hierarchy around land - shape dynamics of great interest to scholars of politics, including the dynamics of land-related competition and conflict, territorial conflict, patron-client relations, electoral cleavage and mobilization, ethnic politics, rural rebellion, and the localization and "nationalization" of political competition.
