Sustainable Development, Digitalization, and the Green Economy in Africa Post-COVID-19: International Political Economy Series

Editat de Korbla P. Puplampu, Kobena T. Hanson, Peter Arthur
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 aug 2023
This book examines sustainable development in the broader framework of Africa post COVID-19. Specifically, the book studies governance and digitalization from the perspective of natural environment management, climate change, the green economy, as well as agriculture and education. Digitalization supports the deepening of natural resource governance by assessing extractive practices, sovereign wealth funds and the emerging discourse on global warming and green economic policies. This analytical exercise will better inform economic and socio-political policies and institutions for African development. The book, against the backdrop of the United Nations Agenda 2030 and the African Union Agenda 2063, offers unique insights on digitalization, governance, the green economy, and natural resource regime in Africa post COVID-19.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“This book masterfully interrogates sustainable development, digitalization, and the green economy in Africa post COVID-19. Drawing on a plethora of perspectives, contributors examine dislocated economies, disrupted global supply chains, and distraught governance systems against the backdrop of transitioning to a green economy. Refreshingly, the book pivots on Africa’s aspirations as defined in AU’s Agenda 2063. A must read for all African political actors, development practitioners, scholars, and students of development.”
—Dr. George O. Essegbey, President of African Network for Economics of Learning, Innovation and Competence Building (AfricaLics), Nairobi, Kenya

“This timely book provides a wide range of theoretical paradigms and perspectives to explore how Africa is leveraging digital technologies for sustainable development, green and inclusive economy post-COVID- 19. Meticulously researched, the book demonstrates that to win, Africa needs better regulation, governance, and a bridging of its digital divide.”
—Dr. Isaac Odoom, Assistant Professor of Political Science and African
Studies, Carleton University, Canada
