E-BooksTransforming Water Management in South Africa Designing and Implementing a New Policy Framework (2024)



Transforming Water Management in South Africa Designing and Implementing a New Policy Framework (2024)
Free Download Barbara Schreiner, Rashid M. Hassan, "Transforming Water Management in South Africa: Designing and Implementing a New Policy Framework"
English | 2010 | pages: 301 | ISBN: 9048193664, 9400734050 | PDF | 4,9 mb
One of the early set of reforms that South Africa embarked on after emerging from apartheid was in the water sector, following a remarkable, consultative process. The policy and legal reforms were comprehensive and covered almost all aspects of water management including revolutionary changes in defining and allocating rights to water, radical reforms in water management and supply institutions, the introduction of the protection of environmental flows, and major shifts in charging for water use and in the provision of free basic water. Over ten years of implementation of these policy and legislative changes mean that valuable lessons have already been learned and useful experiences gained in the challenge of effective water resources management and water services provision in a middle income country.

E-BooksResearch Universities in Africa



Research Universities in Africa
Free Download Research Universities in Africa By Nico Cloete; Ian Bunting; François van Schalkwyk
2018 | 314 Pages | ISBN: 1928331874 | PDF | 3 MB
From the early 2000s, a new discourse emerged, in Africa and the international donor community, that higher education was important for development in Africa. Within this 'zeitgeist' of converging interests, a range of agencies agreed that a different, collaborative approach to linking higher education to development was necessary. This led to the establishment of the Higher Education Research and Advocacy Network in Africa (Herana) to concentrate on research and advocacy about the possible role and contribution of universities to development in Africa.This book is the final publication to emerge from the Herana project. The project has also published more than 100 articles, chapters, reports, manuals and datasets, and many presentations have been delivered to share insights gained from the work done by Herana. Given its prolific dissemination, it seems reasonable to ask whether this fourth and final publication will offer the reader anything new.This book is certainly different from previous publications in several respects. First, it is the only book to include an analysis of eight African universities based on the full 15 years of empirical data collected by the project. Second, previous books and reports were published mid-project. This book has benefited from an extended gestation period allowing the authors and contributors to reflect on the project without the distractions associated with managing and participating in a large-scale project. For the first time, some of those who have been involved in Herana since its inception have had the opportunity to at least make an attempt to see part of the wood for the trees.Different does not necessarily mean new. An emphasis on the 'newness' of the data and perspectives presented in this book is important because it shows that it is more than a historical record of a donor-funded project. Rather, each chapter in this book brings, to a lesser or greater extent, something new to our understanding of universities, research and development in Africa.

E-BooksOut of Africa I The First Hominin Colonization of Eurasia (2024)



Out of Africa I The First Hominin Colonization of Eurasia (2024)
Free Download John G Fleagle, John J. Shea, Frederick E. Grine, "Out of Africa I: The First Hominin Colonization of Eurasia"
English | 2010 | pages: 293 | ISBN: 9048190355, 9400733089 | PDF | 13,0 mb
For the first two thirds of our evolutionary history, we hominins were restricted to Africa. Dating from about two million years ago, hominin fossils first appear in Eurasia. This volume addresses many of the issues surrounding this initial hominin intercontinental dispersal. Why did hominins first leave Africa in the early Pleistocene and not earlier? What do we know about the adaptations of the hominins that dispersed - their diet, locomotor abilities, cultural abilities? Was there a single dispersal event or several? Was the hominin dispersal part of a broader faunal expansion of African mammals northward? What route or routes did dispersing populations take?

E-BooksHumour and Politics in Africa Beyond Resistance



Humour and Politics in Africa Beyond Resistance
Free Download Daniel Hammett, "Humour and Politics in Africa: Beyond Resistance"
English | ISBN: 152921971X | 2023 | 200 pages | PDF | 11 MB
Analyses of humour often focus primarily on the Global North, with little consideration for examples and practices from elsewhere. This book provides a vital contribution to humour theory by developing a Global South perspective. Taking a wide-ranging view across the whole of the continent, the book examines the relationship between humour and politics in Africa. It considers the context of the production and reception of humour in African contexts and argues that humour is more than just symbolic. Moving beyond the idea of humour as a mode of resistance, the book investigates the 'political work' that humour does and explores the complex entanglements in which the politics, practices and performances of humour are located.

E-BooksBritish Cultural Diplomacy in South Africa, 1960–1994



British Cultural Diplomacy in South Africa, 1960–1994
Free Download Daniel J. Feather, "British Cultural Diplomacy in South Africa, 1960-1994 "
English | ISBN: 3031494377 | 2023 | 343 pages | PDF | 6 MB
This book analyses the British government's use of cultural diplomacy in South Africa from 1960 to 1994. Previously, scholarship on UK-South African relations has focussed mainly on political, economic, or military links; this book makes an important and original intervention by emphasising how the British government sought to use cultural ties as part of its diplomacy in South Africa. The book also highlights the controversy these links generated owing to broader international efforts to ostracise South Africa owing to the racist apartheid system in the country at the time. By examining British policy towards educational exchanges, performing arts tours, radio and television broadcasts, and sporting contact, this book provides a dynamic case study from which to analyse Britain's use of cultural diplomacy during a period of relative decline, while also adding a new layer to the well-established literature on the UK-South African special relationship.

E-BooksAfrica Mapping New Boundaries in International Law



Africa Mapping New Boundaries in International Law
Free Download Jeremy I Levitt, "Africa: Mapping New Boundaries in International Law"
English | 2008 | ISBN: 1841136182, 1849461171 | PDF | pages: 356 | 1.0 mb
The principal aim of this work is to provide a forum for leading international lawyers with experience and interest in Africa to address a broad range of intellectual challenges concerning the contribution of African states and peoples to international law. As such, the volume addresses orthodox topics of international law - such as jurisdiction and intervention - but tackles them from an African perspective, and seeks to ask whether, in each case, the African perspective is unique or affirms existing arrangements of international law. The book cannot come at a more important time. While international legal discourse has been captured by the challenge of terrorism since September 11, 2001, there are clear signs that other issues are returning to the fore. Political interest in Africa has undergone a global revival, and the OAU has been transformed into the African Union. Infrastructural challenges, along with those taking place in regional contexts, have effectively mapped a new politico-legal landscape for Africa. This, and more, is explored, and the key normative questions are addressed in a series of essays by leading Africanist scholars.
