However, few have ventured to examine the precursors to the ideas of Darwin and others in the Romantic period. 'Marking time', edited by Joel Faflak, analyses prevailing notions of evolution by tracing its origins to the literary, scientific, and philosophical discourses of the long nineteenth century. The volume's contributors revisit key developments in the history of evolution prior to 'On the origin of species' and explore British and European Romanticism's negotiation between the classic idea of a great immutable chain of being and modern notions of historical change. 'Marking time' reveals how Romantic and post-Romantic configurations of historical, socio-cultural, scientific, and philosophical transformation continue to exert a profound influence on critical and cultural thought."--The dustjacketEvolution (Biology) in literatureEvolution (Biology)PhilosophyLITERARY CRITICISM / Modern / 19th Century bisacshHistory.fastLiteratureCharles DarwinEvolutionFriedrich Wilhelm Joseph SchellingImmanuel KantJohann Wolfgang von GoetheThomas Robert MalthusEvolution (Biology) in literature.Evolution (Biology)Philosophy.LITERARY CRITICISM / Modern / 19th Century .809/.933609034Faflak Joelauth993147Faflak Joel, DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910263845703321Marking Time3402627UNINA03888nam 2200469 450 991077489840332120220110190106.01-78699-394-51-350-23767-110.5040/9781350237674(CKB)5690000000006255(OCoLC)1280406029(CaBNVSL)9781350237674(EXLCZ)99569000000000625520220105h20222022 uy 0engurbn||||m|||ardacontentrdamediardacarrierEconomic diversification in Nigeria the politics of building a post-oil economy /Zainab UsmanFirst edition.London [England] :Zed Books,2022.London [England] :Bloomsbury Publishing,20221 online resource (288 pages)Politics and Development in Contemporary Africa1-78699-395-3 Includes bibliographical references.Description -- Acronyms and Abbreviations -- Glossary -- Nigerian Leaders and Heads of State Since Independence -- Nigerian States by Geo-Political Region -- Acknowledgements -- Chapter 1.

Kano: The Political Foundations of Nigeria's Failed Agro-Industrial Transition -- Conclusion -- References."Nigeria has for long been regarded as the poster child for the 'curse' of oil wealth. Yet despite this, Nigeria achieved strong economic growth for over a decade in the 21st century, driven largely by policy reforms in non-oil sectors. This book argues that Nigeria's major development challenge is not the 'oil curse', but rather one of achieving economic diversification beyond oil, subsistence agriculture, informal activities, and across its subnational entities. Through analysis drawing on economic data, policy documents, and interviews, Usman argues that Nigeria's challenge of economic diversification is situated within the political setting of an unstable distribution of power among individual, group, and institutional actors. Since the turn of the century, policymaking by successive Nigerian governments has, despite superficial partisan differences, been oriented towards short-term crisis management of macroeconomic stabilization, restoring growth and selective public sector reforms. To diversify Nigeria's economy, this book argues that successive governments must reorient towards a consistent focus on pro-productivity and pro-poor policies, alongside comprehensive civil service and security sector overhaul. These policy priorities, Nigeria's ruling elites are belatedly acknowledging, are crucial to achieving economic transformation; a policy shift that requires a confrontation with the roots of perpetual political crisis, and an attempt to stabilize the balance of power towards equity and inclusion."--Provided by publisher.Politics and Development in Contemporary Africa.NigeriaEconomic conditions21st centuryNigeriaEconomic policy338.9669Usman Zainab1251852CaBNVSLCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910774898403321Economic diversification in Nigeria2901678UNINA
