Kamau, and Godbertha Kinyondo -- Concluding reflections / by Lone Riisgaard, Winnie Mitullah, and Nina Torm.The promotion of social protection in Sub-Saharan Africa happens in a context where informal labour markets constitute the norm, and where most workers live uncertain livelihoods with very limited access to official social protection. The dominant social protection agenda and the associated literature come with an almost exclusive focus on donor and state programmes even if their coverage is limited to small parts of the populations - and in no way stands measure to the needs. In these circumstances, people depend on other means of protection and cushioning against risks and vulnerabilities including different forms of collective self-organizing providing alternative forms of social protection. These informal, bottom-up forms of social protection are at a nascent stage of social protection discussions and little is known about the extent or models of these informal mechanisms. This book seeks to fill this gap by focusing on three important sectors of informal work, namely: transport, construction, and micro-trade in Kenya and Tanzania. It explores how the global social protection agenda interacts with informal contexts and how it fits with the actual realities of the informal workers. Consequently, the authors examine and compare the social protection models conceptualized and implemented 'from above' by the public authorities in Tanzania and Kenya with social protection mechanisms 'from below' by the informal workers own collective associations. The book will be of interest to academics in International Development Studies, Political Economy, and African Studies, as well as development practitioners and policy communities.Dynamics of economic space.Social Protection and Informal Workers in Sub-Saharan Africa Precarious employmentdevelopment policydevelopment studiesemployment in the global southglobal south developmentglobal south economiesinformal economyinformal incomeinformal workinformal workerssocial protection policyPrecarious employment.331.25729Riisgaard Loneedt1363189Riisgaard LoneMitullah WinnieTorm NinaNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910502674803321Social protection and informal workers in Sub-Saharan Africa3383051UNINA05529nam 2200721 450 991079689810332120200520144314.03-11-058479-43-11-058484-010.1515/9783110584844(CKB)4100000002964652(MiAaPQ)EBC5158962(DE-B1597)490992(OCoLC)1029834262(DE-B1597)9783110584844(Au-PeEL)EBL5158962(CaPaEBR)ebr11566015(PPN)225578530(EXLCZ)99410000000296465220180620d2018 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierPolybius and his legacy /edited by Nikos Miltsios and Melina TamiolakiBerlin ;Boston :De Gruyter,[2018]©20181 online resource (ix, 456 pages)Trends in classics.

Polybius' history is increasingly treated not just as a source of valuable information on the impressive expansion of Roman rule in the Mediterranean world, but also as a complex and nuanced narrative with its own interests and purposes. Moreover, since (apart from Livy's use of Polybius, which has been thoroughly discussed) most studies of Polybius' reception focus on the modern world, especially in relation to the theory of mixed constitutions, finding out more about Polybius' impact on ancient Greek and Roman authors remains a major desideratum. This volume brings together contributions which, in either posing new questions or reformulating old ones, attest both to the ardent scholarly interest currently directed toward Polybius and to the variety of hermeneutical issues raised by his work. Subjects discussed include Polybius' historical ideas, his methods of composition, his views on the role of the historian, his representation of cultural difference, his intertextual affinities, and his reception and influence. Taken together, the papers in this collection attempt to promote a deeper understanding of the qualities and peculiarities of Polybius' history, as well as to offer fresh insights into the interpretation of this important work.
