Observing how human beings change the environment and, specifically, how population growth and urbanization negatively impact nature, recently shocked economies and social upheaval in Africa indicate a crossroads moment for the continent. The book further adds to the knowledge base of how to build a more robust Africa with sustainable solutions working in tandem with vibrant and robust economies. Commonsense social strategies go hand in hand with trackable shocked economies via first- and second-moment reactions. Uncertainty shocks, in this case, interrelate via an umbrella effect. The authors evaluate theories of impact shocks using a sustainable growth and change model. Finally, key topics incorporate new urban thinking for economic recovery, developing sustainable economies post-COVID-19, understanding social practices duringa crisis, and developing community robustness via shock events. The book integrates an interdisciplinary approach to understanding how to best mitigate the COVID-19 crisis as well as reduce future shocks to the African continent. It raises vital questions connecting the effects of lockdown measures, crisis causation, and shock impacts most countries faced over the last two-year period. The answers to these questions are not limited to economists and sociologists, instead, they magnify to include policymakers and everyday people. The nature of this book is to help piece together solutions for preparedness, a stronger understanding of sound development, and a united and resilient Pan-Africanism to best handle future shock events. 410 0$aAdvances in African Economic, Social and Political Development,$x2198-7270 606 $aAfrica$xEconomic conditions 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aEconomics 606 $aAfrican Economics 606 $aEconomic Growth 606 $aDevelopment Economics 606 $aDevelopment Studies 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems 615 0$aAfrica$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 14$aAfrican Economics. 615 24$aEconomic Growth. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 615 24$aGlobalization. 615 24$aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems. 676 $a362.1962414 676 $a338.96 700 $aCirella$b Giuseppe T.$01280808 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910647788603321 996 $aUncertainty Shocks in Africa$93017467 997 $aUNINA
