Conclusion; Adebusuyi Isaac Adeniran, Lanre Olusegun Ikuteyijo.- Index.This book presents relevant and timely endogenous procedures for addressing the challenge of transforming ideas into sustainable opportunities in Africa. It explores how Africa could be understood in the context of emerging global realities, providing alternative frameworks that will not just be participatory in conception and practice, but equally show a contextual workability for the varying aspects of the developmental enterprise in Africa. Despite having alternative and less cumbersome sources of funding, with commendable economic growth indices, and several economies among the fastest growing globally, African countries have been unable to transmute related opportunities into sustainable human development outcomes for majority of its citizenry.  Over four rich sections the authors cover subjects ranging from environment and natural resource management, to governance, economy and sustainable development. The book continues with a section on Education and HumanDevelopment and a case study in transnationalism. The final section discusses crime, conflict and regional dynamics, including highly disputed topics such as forced migration and sex trade. This indispensable resource will be of great use to students and researches globally in fields such as sociology, anthropology, environmental studies, politics and economics with a focus on contemporary Africa, as well as to policy planners and human rights activists invested in the future development of Africa.Human geographyEconomic developmentEthnologyPhysical geographyEnergy policyEnergy policyHuman GeographyDevelopment StudiesSociocultural AnthropologyPhysical GeographyEnergy Policy, Economics and ManagementHuman geography.Economic development.Ethnology.Physical geography.Energy policy.Energy policy.Human Geography.Development Studies.Sociocultural Anthropology.Physical Geography.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.304.2Adeniran Adebusuyi Isaacedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtIkuteyijo Lanreedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300574003321Africa Now1923126UNINA03309nam 2200649 a 450 991101948170332120200520144314.09786613679352978128076858312807685849780470719039047071903697804707165020470716509(CKB)1000000000687501(EBL)703749(SSID)ssj0000715224(PQKBManifestationID)11413551(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000715224(PQKBWorkID)10701061(PQKB)11736048(MiAaPQ)EBC703749(OCoLC)264621034(Perlego)2764509(EXLCZ)99100000000068750119861010d1957 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrMethodology of the study of ageing /editors for the Ciba Foundation, G.E.W.
