Breaking the Illusions
Breaking the Illusions is the story of resolve and grit in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. In this tell-all book, the author paints an insider's view of government, exposing the odds that are inexorably ranged against those who challenge the status quo and are perceived to be all-powerful. Hers is the intriguing story of a mistaken tag that at once opens multiple warfronts with shadowy detractors and opens previously unimaginable doors. The author provides a window into statecraft in a way that leaves the reader, researchers, ministers and even serving and aspiring public servants the richer.
Waste and Environmental Policy
This research deals with the increasingly complex issues of waste generation, waste management and waste disposal that in less developed industrialised countries present diverse but critical concerns. It takes a socio-economic and policy-oriented perspective and provides empirical evidence at EU and regional level. The EU and Italy are taken as relevant case studies given the disparities in environmental performances between less and more developed areas. The rich and various empirical evidence shows that a robust delinking between waste generation and economic growth is still not present, thus future policies should directly address the problem at the source by targeting waste generation in...
Democracy Challenged in the 2022 Presidential Succession in Kenya
This analysis of the 2022 presidential succession in Kenya examines the process’ evolution over time, not just in the stages closest to the presidential election. The live speeches, statements, press conferences, and rallies of the key actors are featured and analysed carefully. In Kenya, major television stations and regional stations are highly developed and offer a wealth of research opportunities. The book analyses the Roadside Rallies, which are a unique feature of Kenyan political campaigns in the face of State repression. An intense struggle took place leading up to the 2022 election. What made this succession special was the determination of the incumbent president to shape the succession to his will. In effect, the 2022 succession revealed the fault lines in the Kenya political class and the lengths an incumbent will go to assert his dominance over the succession process. The book explores the tools utilised by an Imperial President to circumvent legal and constitutional restrictions. For those interested in democracy in Africa, this study illustrates the very real barriers to its fulfillment.

Extending the Protection of Geographical Indications
The TRIPS Agreement (for trade-related intellectual property rights) provides for the general protection of geographical indications (GIs) of product origin, including for example the special protection of wines and spirits and for the creation of a multilateral register for wines. The African Group of countries has been in the forefront of countries agitating in the World Trade Organization TRIPS Council for the extension of this special protection and of the multilateral register to industries which are of interest to developing countries, primarily agriculture. The so-called "extension question" is the central feature of the Doha Development Agenda at both the WTO and World Intellectual Property Organization. This book provides some empirical evidence and applied legal and economic reasoning to this debate. It provides both a general review of the key issues and a series of case studies from six Anglophone and four Francophone countries in Africa. These focus on major agricultural commodities such as coffee, cotton, cocoa and tea, as well as more specific and local products such as Argan oil and Oku white honey.
How this Happened: Demystifying the Nile
Ethiopians had to wait over a thousand years to be able to use their waters for their own development. Ethiopian emperors and leaders have tried to build a dam on the Nile River as part of their development efforts. Unfortunately, due to varying reasons and circumstances, including external pressure from countries near and far, geo- and hydro-political balance shifts, and internal conflicts, they were not successful in realizing their wishes. Instead of giving up, though, each leader contributed to different extents, by laying the foundation for and addressing challenges faced in making this dream a reality. The masterplan for the dam designed in 1964 has been the seed in waiting ever since,...
