    There are little strokes that fell great oaks and often unattended cracks in a diversity of our socio-economic and political institutions can ultimately lead to a total collapse of systems. Cracks and Other Short Stories is an anthology that offers readers an insight into some of the major cracks in our personalities and institutions as a subtle means of encouraging everyone to investigate them further and seek lasting solutions for the good of humanity. Cracks signal that things are out of sorts and need timeous repair, healing and mending before systems become dysfunctional and torturous to humanity. Thus, each story in this impeccable collection deals with specific metaphorical cracks which require problem solving for the betterment of society.

  • - Rethinking Legacies and the New Dispensation in Zimbabwe's 'Second Republic'
     
    612,95 kr.

    Arguably, one of the long waited political handover of power, globally, happened in November 2017 in Zimbabwe when the former and now late 37- year long serving and divisive President, Robert Gabriel Mugabe was forced out of power by a combination of forces that were spearheaded by the military's Operation Restore Legacy. Mugabe's departure ushered in President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa's reign. This transition has variously been characterised as marking the inauguration of the Second Republic or New Dispensation or as heralding a new Zimbabwe that is 'Open for Business'. From the moment of the investiture of President Mnangagwa's government, anticipations of seismic changes to the order of doing business by both the incoming government and the larger Zimbabwean society in general, were extremely high. There was an expectation that international cooperation with global partners, especially in the West, would be restored alongside the reinvigoration of a near comatose domestic economy. But, did this ever happen?This volume interrogates the impact of the introduction of the Mnangagwa administration from November 2017. The book seeks to broadly dissect and troubleshoot issues of continuity and change from Mugabe's reign into Mnangagwa's Second Republic. In doing so the book attempts to respond to the grand question: "To what extent has Mugabeism that was the hallmark of Mugabe's reign, continued or discontinued into the Second Republic?" The volume, which comes as a sequel to The end of an era? Robert Mugabe and a conflicting legacy, is sure to generate interest and responses from students and academics in the fields of History, International Studies, Political Science, Sociology and Social anthropology, as well as from practitioners in the human rights, transitional jusrtice, conflict resolution, security studies and diplomatic fields.

  • - Aligning Policonomy with Nature, Culture, Technology and Enterprise
     
    882,95 kr.

    The world is in crisis and in need of an economic and political regeneration-what is termed in this book "policonomy". Such a GENEA-tic transformation calls for an awakening of integral consciousness at all levels. For this to be realized the authors posit that "southern" nature and community i.e. integral kumusha should locally lead the regeneration, with "eastern" Culture and spirituality following locally-globally in its wake, while "northern" science and technology -Communications-comes in newly, globally next, and the "western" economy and enterprise, that is Capital, should globally-locally follow the rest, altogether embodied in a newly polynomic Constitution. Such a unique transformational rhythm is what is sought and to co-evolve in Zimbabwe, in Africa and the rest of the world, thereby regenerating (C)umusha, Culture, Communictions, Capital and a trans-modern Constitutio: the 5 C's, in theory and in practice. The authors, in Zimbabwe, see for such re-GENE-ration in the integral worlds and rhythm, of the country. Their argument is that such a newly constituted policonomy is best served by a Communiversity, as an integral and de-colonised version of the university. This Communiversity originates from the natural and communal, local 'South'-Learning Communities; then turn culturally and spiritually, locally-globally to the 'East'-as a so-called Developmental Pilgrimium thereafter turning newly globally, scientifically and technologically to the 'North'-Research academy; and only thereafter, globally-locally to the 'West' building economically and enterprise-wise on the rest in the guise of Socio-economic integral Laboratories. The aim of this study is that this transformative approach will appeal to business people, researchers, policy makers, social scientists and the academia serving to align policonomy with nature, culture, technology and enterprise.

  • - Harvesting Knowledge and Value for Re-generation Through Social Innovation
    af Ronnie Lessem, Munyaradzi Mawere & Daud Taranhike
    792,95 kr.

    Nhakanomics: Harvesting Knowledge and Value for Re-generation Through Social Innovation is a radical departure from the commonly held belief that neo-liberal economics from the US and the West is universal, and is the only solution to underdevelopment and poverty throughout the world. Instead, the book teases out and theorises the intellectually rutted terrain of development studies, and neo-liberal economics from a decolonial Pan-Africanist perspective. Following a path of social innovation, with perspectives drawn from social anthropology, economics, and business and management studies Nhakanomics is a unique socio-economic approach applicable in the Global South and in Southern Africa in particular. The study argues that the process and substance of nhakanomics with its pre-emphasis on the relational South provides a robust and holistic approach to social innovation and social transformation grounded in relational networks and 'meshworks'. The central idea is a call to re-GENE-rate society, through local Grounding and Origination, and tapping into local-global Emergent Foundations via a newly global Emancipatory Navigation, while ultimately culminating in global-local transformative Effects in four recursive cycles of re-GENE-rating C(K)umusha, Culture, Communication, and Capital after re-Constituting Africa-the 5Cs. With a novel and radical approach the book is an interrogation of neo-liberal economics in the Global South. As such, this book is remarkably handy to students and practitioners in the fields of economics, development studies, political science, science and technology studies, business management, sociology, transformation studies, and development related non-Governmental Organisations working with grassroots communities.

  • - Human Rights, Federalism, and Judicial Politics in Cameroon
    af Peter Ateh-Afac Fossungu
    452,95 kr.

    Using one of the continent's supposed pathfinders, Cameroon as case-study, this book interrogates judiciary in Africa in three domains. First, as the third branch of government, second, as the acknowledged umpire of federalism, and, finally, as a means of reversing the institutionalization of in-human rights and injustice administration in Africa. While examining the roots and causes of the persisting human rights and justice administration problems in Cameroon particularly, and Africa in general, the book through the tumbu-tumbu Long-Distance Government Theory (LDGT), argues for a rethinking and freeing of strategies currently used from close to a century of colonial and neo-colonial bondage, under the confusing covers of 'independence' and of 'advanced democracy'. The book challenges Africa to consider a mentality change, for a 'real' judiciary transformative change. The book will interest legal practitioners, social anthropologists, development studies and political science practitioners, among other such practitioners in the social sciences and humanities.
