| kema irogbe: The Effects of Globalization in Latin America, Africa, and Asia Kema Irogbe, 2014-05-01 In crisp and accessible language, TheEffects of Globalization in Latin America, Africa, and Asia challenges conventional wisdom that often provides one-sided views of globalization. The book brings to light that which many scholars ignore: the symbiotic linkages within a global supranational regime consisting of MNCs, WTO, the IMF/World Bank, western media technology, and the lone superpower that are the principal actors in the global political economy. |
| kema irogbe: Religious Identities and the Global South Felix Wilfred, 2021-01-04 This book offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary account of religious identities in the Global South. Drawing on literature in various fields, Felix Wilfred analyzes how religious identities intersect with the processes of globalization, modernity, and postmodernity. He illustrates how the study of religion in the Global North often revolves around questions of secularism and fundamentalism, whereas a neo-Orientalist quality often attends study of religion in the Global South. These approaches and theorizing fail to incorporate the experiences of lived religion in the South, especially in Asia. Historically, the religions in the South have played a highly significant role in resistance to the domination by the colonial forces, an important reason for the continued attachment of the peoples of the South to their religious universe. This book puts the two regions and their scholarly norms in conversation with one another, exploring the social, political, cultural, and economic implications. |

| kema irogbe: It's Not You, It's Capitalism Malaika Jabali, 2023-10-24 One of The Boston Globe's Best Books of 2023 * I'm sitting here, in awe, trying to wrap my head around how Malaika conjured something so vibrant and timely and fun (and even flirty) while also being rigorous, evergreen, and fucking terrifying. —Damon Young This biting, brilliant, often hilarious guide to socialism by journalist Malaika Jabali debunks myths, centers forgotten socialists of color who have shaped our world, and shows socialism is not all Marx and Bernie Bros—it's time for all of us to ditch capitalism and try something finer. We’ve all dated someone who took control of the relationship—you know, someone who makes you feel like you’re unhappy because you’re just not putting in the work, or it’s all in your head. But when you think about trying to meet new people, it feels terrifying. Like, have you looked at Tinder recently? It’s rough out there! Your tough-love new best friend, award-winning journalist, policy attorney, and life-long socialist Malaika Jabali is here to say: we are all in a generations-long toxic relationship with Capitalism, and it is time to get the h*ll out of there and move ALONG. She gives you everything you need to know about what a healthy relationship could actually look like, issue by issue—from healthcare and housing to the whole concept of American democracy—with our new boo: Socialism. And no, Socialism isn’t the boring, grey, authoritarian, Cold-War-era monster that you’ve heard about. With accessible explanations and illustrations, often surprising graphs and stats, and some Drake memes, this book will show you that we NEED to build a world that’s safer, kinder, cleaner, healthier, and more equal. And that this isn’t a utopian dream – it’s within our grasp, if we collectively decide to call out Capitalism for what it really is and wake up to a better future. |
| kema irogbe: The United Nations in Global Tax Coordination Nikki J. Teo, 2023-03-23 The United Nations in Global Tax Coordination fills the decade-long knowledge gap in international tax history concerning the UN Fiscal Commission, which functioned as the overarching fiscal authority during the early post-World War II economic order. With insights from political economy and international relations scholarship, this critical archival examination chronicles the tenacious activism by post-colonial developing countries to preserve source taxation rights, and by the UN Secretariat in championing the development of equitable tax rules. Such activism would ultimately lead developed countries to oust the UN as a forum for international tax norm setting. The book includes a revealing prehistory of the wartime work of the League of Nations that questions the legitimacy of the Mexico Model, the first model tax convention between developed and developing countries. This expertly researched work is essential reading for understanding the roles of politics, states, secretariats and private actors in directing global tax coordination. |
| kema irogbe: One World Mania Graham Dunkley, 2016-10-15 In this much-needed book, Graham Dunkley challenges the oft-repeated notion that free trade and global integration are the best means of development for all nations at all times – an idea that has proved even more misguided in the wake of the global financial crisis. By contrast, Dunkley reveals – through a wide range of statistical analysis and case studies – that at best the evidence is mixed. Looking systematically at issues such as trade-led growth, supply chains and financialization, One World Mania reveals the many problems that over-globalization has caused, often at great human cost. An indispensible guide for anyone wishing to understand the shortcomings of current global economic policies. |

| kema irogbe: The Foundation and Growth of African Women Entrepreneurs Chi Anyansi-Archibong, 2021-02-18 This book explores how culture and tradition have impacted the tendency for African women to opt for entrepreneurship. The first section presents literature on the concept of entrepreneurship and introduces traditional African women entrepreneurs—the first-generation, culture-driven entrepreneurs, driven by the need to alleviate poverty within the family. The second section covers the modern, second-generation entrepreneurs driven by such forces as education, globalization, and technology. Further, the author assesses the regional perspectives on entrepreneurship and explores the entrepreneurial ecosystems to determine their relevance to the development of entrepreneurial spirit in Africa and among women in particular. This book expands on knowledge about the role that women play in the socio-economic development of the African continent. |
| kema irogbe: United States Relations with South Africa Y. G.-M. Lulat, 2008 Relations between the United States and South Africa - or the parts of the world these nations now occupy - go nearly as far back as the very beginning of their inception as permanent European colonial intrusions. This book is a critical overview of these relations from the late seventeenth century to the present. Unprecedented in its scope - and supported by substantive and detailed notes, together with an extensive bibliography, chronology, glossary, and appendices - the book distinguishes itself from extant works in a number of other ways. Set against the backdrop of a wider interdisciplinary exploration of both ideational and structural issues of historical context, it not only gives attention to the importance of contributions from nonofficial actors in shaping official relations, but also considers the impact of the geo-political location of South Africa within southern Africa, where the presence of other nations - particularly Angola, Mozambique, Namibia, and Zimbabwe - looms large. Methodologically written from the perspectives of both traditional narrative history and Khaldunian interpretive historical analysis, the book consequently sits at the interdisciplinary interstice of political economy and sociology, where the aim is to advance our understanding of the Braudelian interconnectedness of world history as an important diachronic determinant of the diplomacy of foreign relations. Written for both scholars and policy analysts, this book's examination of the agency of the marginalized should also be of interest to activists and the reading public. |
| kema irogbe: Sweden and National Liberation in Southern Africa Tor Sellström, 1999 In 1969, the Swedish parliament endorsed a policy of direct assistance to the liberation movements in Southern Africa. Sweden thus became the first Western country to enter into a relationship with organizations that elsewhere in the West were shunned as Communist or terrorist. This book-the first in a two-volume study on Sweden & the regional struggles for majority rule & national independence-traces the background to the relationship. Presenting the actors & factors behind the support to MPLA of Angola, FRELIMO of Mozambique, SWAPO of Namibia, ZANU & ZAPU of Zimbabwe, & ANC of South Africa, it addresses the question why Sweden established close relations with the very movements that eventually would assume state power in their respective countries. The second volume (later this year) will discuss how the support was expressed, covering the period from 1970 until the democratic elections in South Africa in 1994. |

| kema irogbe: Race, Religion, and Resilience in the Neoliberal Age Cedric C. Johnson, 2016-04-29 This book presents a study of the rise of American neoliberalism in the aftermath of the modern Civil Rights movement, paying particular attention to the traumatic impact of the neoliberal age on countless African Americans. Author Cedric C. Johnson takes a close look at the manner in which American neoliberalism has been able to preserve, articulate, and exploit constructions of race-based difference. The neoliberal age has engendered an extraordinary growth in economic disparities and social inequalities, with traumatic repercussions for innumerable African Americans. Historically, black religious forms have functioned as contested spaces, capable of organizing alternative modes of cultural, economic, and political life. This project examines forms of black religiosity that function as modes of soul care in this context. Johnson posits an innovative, multi-systems approach that informs practices of care for populations traumatized or threatened by the neoliberal age. |

| kema irogbe: The Effects of Globalization in Latin America, Africa, and Asia Kema Irogbe, 2014 In The Effects of Globalization in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, Kema Irogbe argues that the forces of globalization, which include the IMF/World Bank, WTO, and Western media technology, are subordinated to the interests of multinational corporations under the tutelage of a lone superpower in strangling the development efforts of poor countries. Irogbe subjects the operations and the existing relationships among these international governmental and nongovernmental actors to the test of empirical reality and logical plausibility by drawing from the experiences of a varied selection of marginalized countries, such as Venezuela, Guatemala, Mexico, Brazil in Latin America; Nigeria, South Africa, and Ghana in Africa; and Iraq, Iran, India, Afghanistan, and Vietnam in Asia. The book argues that globalization is a sophisticated lexicon for the pursuit of a homogenized political, economic, and cultural world order, which is a recipe for unending global crises. |

Popper, en tant qu´observateur et témoin lucide de crises politiques de la première moitié du XXème siècle, combattant et critique résolu du totalitarisme fasciste, nazi et communiste et défenseur passionné de la liberté et de la démocratie libérale, a su proposer une théorie de la démocratie dont la rationalité et l´éthique peuvent exorciser la politique de ses griefs totalitaires. Ainsi, la recherche d´une démocratie, en Afrique et au Congo, exorcisée de couleurs totalitaires et attentistes grâce à la référence à la théorie poppérienne de la démocratie, voilà ce qu´est notre préoccupation principale dans ce présent ouvrage. |
| kema irogbe: Yearbook on International Investment Law & Policy 2014-2015 Andrea K. Bjorklund, 2016-09-30 Several themes emerge in this 2014-2015 edition of the Yearbook. The first is a notable focus on country and region-specific developments. Different articles focus on key developments in such countries as Australia, Brazil, China, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Russia, and South Africa. Others focus on regional innovations, in particular in Latin America. A second area of attention is reform, and proposals for reform, in investor-state dispute settlement and in investment law generally. The third theme is the continued concern about states' regulatory autonomy and the importance of their retaining ability to protect the interests of their nationals. A fourth theme concerns the continued contribution that investment arbitration makes to the development of international law, and the influence that it is starting to have on other areas of law, whether that is as a source of inspiration in the interpretation of other norms or as a source of potentially powerful persuasive authority given the teeth that investment law has with respect to enforcement. Included are the winning memorials of the FDI Moot for both 2014 and 2015. In 2014 a team from the University of Ottawa submitted the winning claimant's memorial, while students from Harvard Law School submitted the winning respondent's memorial. In 2015, Harvard repeated its stellar performance, again winning best respondent's memorial. The winning claimant's memorial in 2015 was submitted by students from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. These excellent memorials reveal once again the growing interest of students in international investment law and demonstrate a striving for excellence and an enthusiasm for grappling with intellectually challenging issues. |

| kema irogbe: Die Apartheid in Südafrika Robert Tanania, 2008-07-04 Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Ethnologie / Volkskunde, Note: 2,0, Universität Augsburg (Volkskunde), Veranstaltung: Seminar: Migration und Integration, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Zwischen Kap und Oranjefluss lebten zuerst die San und Khoikhoi, bis ca. 1400 lebten im Norden, Osten und Südosten dieser Region die zur Nguni-Gruppe gehörenden „schwarzen“ Völker. Die ersten Weißen, die Südafrika besiedelten waren die Niederländer. Seit dem ersten Aufeinandertreffen von Weißen und Schwarzen in Südafrika entstand eine elementare Trennungsstruktur. Mit den ersten Funden von Diamanten und Gold im Jahr 1652 wurde die Rassentrennungspolitik in Südafrika kontinuierlich intensiviert. Die Niederländisch-ostindische Kompagnie unterschied bereits am Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts zwischen erstens eigenen Angestellten, zweitens sog. Freien („freie burgher“), drittens Sklaven und viertens Fremden (Kohikoi = Hottentotten, San = Buschmänner). Dabei wurde das Land ausschließlich von Weißen bewirtschaftet und die Handwerksausbildung für Schwarze und Eingeborene unmöglich gemacht. Bei dem Zeitraum von 1910 bis 1948 spricht man von der sog. Segregation Era, in dem die Apartheid entscheidend ausgestaltet wurde. 1961 trat Südafrika aus dem Commonwealth aus und kam so dem Ausschluss aus dem Commonwealth zuvor. Bereits vor Beginn des Zweiten Weltkriegs trennten mehrere Gesetze die verschiedenen rassischen Gruppen Südafrikas, gerade die Weißen und die Schwarzen, noch bevor der Begriff „Apartheid“ in die Diskussion in Südafrika gelangte. Im Mai 1948 gewann die burische Nationale Partei des Predigers Daniel François Malan die Wahlen zum südafrikanischen Parlament. Diese Organisation stand maßgeblich unter dem Einfluss der Afrikaaner Broederbonds, einem um 1918 gegründeten Geheimbund, dem nur Mitglieder der burischen Elite (Großagrarier, Unternehmer, Politiker, Professoren etc.) angehören durften und dessen Ideologie einer Art von „christlichem Nationalismus“ entsprang. |

| kema irogbe: 50 ans après, quelle indépendance pour l'Afrique? Makhily Gassama, 2010 De nombreux pays d'Afrique célèbrent le cinquantième anniversaire de leur indépendance en 2010. Il s'agit d'un événement: le continent, qui a traversé des siècles de souffrances physiques et morales durant deux Grands Dérangements - la traite négrière, puis la colonisation -, est enfin, semble-t-il, dirigé par ses propres enfants. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage souhaitent procéder, un demi-siècle plus tard, à l'analyse du sens de ces indépendances et à une réflexion sur le bilan de l'exercice du pouvoir par les Africains eux-mêmes. C'est aussi l'occasion de s'interroger sur l'intolérable paradoxe de l'Afrique: continent gorgé de richesses humaines et naturelles, mais continent paupérisé, assisté et fragilisé... Une trentaine d'intellectuels d'Afrique et de la diaspora se prononcent librement, chacun à sa manière et sous l'angle de son choix, sur le bilan de ces cinquante années de liberté réelle ou illusoire, de construction ou de déconstruction - voire parfois de destruction - du continent... Il est temps, en effet, que les intellectuels, dont les dirigeants politiques ont souvent minimisé ou craint le rôle en les tenant à l'écart, s'engagent dans le débat et contribuent activement à la création d'une opinion publique africaine participative, sans laquelle le vrai développement demeurera hypothéqué. C'est bien ce que tentent les auteurs de ce livre, profondément attachés à l'Afrique et à sa liberté. |

Now in a fully revised and updated edition, this concise and insightful book explores the ways American popular products such as movies, music, television programs, fast food, sports, and even clothing styles have molded and continue to influence modern globalization. Lane Crothers offers a thoughtful examination of both the appeal of American products worldwide and the fear and rejection they induce in many people and nations around the world. Concluding with a projection of the future impact of American popular culture, this book makes a powerful argument for its central role in shaping global politics and economic development. |
