Book Description
The contemporary conflict scenarios are beyond the reach of standardized approaches to conflict resolution. Given the curious datum that culture is implicated in nearly every conflict in the world, culture can also be an important aspect of efforts to transform destructive conflicts into more constructive social processes. Yet, what culture is and how culture matters in conflict scenarios is contested and regrettably unexplored. The Handbook of Research on the Impact of Culture in Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding is a critical publication that examines cultural differences in conflict resolution based on various aspects of culture such as morals, traditions, and laws. Highlighting a wide range of topics such as criminal justice, politics, and technological development, this book is essential for educators, social scientists, sociologists, political leaders, government officials, academicians, conflict resolution practitioners, world peace organizations, researchers, and students.

Book Description
'Political Messaging in Music and Entertainment Spaces across the Globe' uniquely expands the frontiers of political communication by simultaneously focusing on content (political messaging) and platform (music and entertainment). As a compendium of valuable research work, it provides rich insights into the construction of political messages and their dissemination outside of the traditional and mainstream structural, process and behavioral research focus in the discipline. Researchers, teachers, students and other interested parties in political communication, political science, journalism and mass communication, sociology, music, languages, linguistics and the performing arts, communication studies, law and history, will find this book refreshingly handy in their inquiry. Furthermore, this book was conceptualized from a globalist purview and offers readers practical insights into how political messaging through music and entertainment spaces actually work across nation-states, regions and continents. Its authenticity is also further enhanced by the fact that most chapter contributors are scholars who are natives of their areas of study, and who painstakingly situate their work in appropriate historical contexts.

Book Description
Chinua Achebe was a master that mastered a variety of distinct approaches that authors may use to create tales. There are many different ways that writers can tell stories. When it comes to creating stories, authors have the capacity to use a variety of techniques. One of the narrative techniques that Achebe utilised was referred to as "flashback," and it was included into his work. However, Achebe utilised a variety of approaches, and one of those methods was flashback. Whenever we get to this point in the story, the story will take us on a trip through time to show us something that took place in the past. This book delves into the rich tapestry ofchebe’s writing style, examining the intricate threads that weave together his exploration of Igbo culture, the clash between tradition and colonialism, the multi-dimensional characters he breathes life into, the narrative structures that captivate readers, the language and diction that form a linguistic bridge between worlds, the social commentary that critiques historical injustices, and the symbolism and imagery that elevate his works to realms of profound meaning. The work of Achebe is not only a reflection of a particular cultural environment; rather, it is a mirror that is held up to the intricacies of the human experience. As we begin our investigation, we will travel across the landscapes of Nigeria’s pre-colonial and colonial history. We will also navigate the twisting routes of Achebe’s narratives, which merge the past and the present in a seamless manner. The individuals that we come across are not only figments of our imagination; rather, they are manifestations of the internal tensions, moral conundrums, and the indomitable spirit that characterises mankind in the face of hardship. The unfolding of this investigation takes place against the backdrop of Achebe’s linguistic artistry, which is a dance that captures the spirit of cultural hybridity through the merging of English and Igbo expressions.

Book Description

The author, Felix Moses Edoho, Sr., examines the issues at the various global, national, and regional levels. In Part I the book examines the issues at the global level and looks at the impact of transnational corporations (TNCs) and globalization on the global environmental crisis. Furthermore, it also examines the efforts of the United Nations in initiating global environmental architecture to tackle the crisis. Part II considers the issues at the national level and focuses on Nigeria. The author explores Nigeria’s regulatory and institutional framework for environmental governance and implementation. Lastly, at the regional level in Part III, the discourse centers on how decades of oil exploration and production have unleashed monumental ecological tragedies in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria due to the lack of corporate environmental accountability. This book will be of great interest to academics and students who are interested in broadening their knowledge of environmental governance and policy in developing countries. It will also be of value to environmental regulatory agencies and public administrators, development professionals, and TNCs.

Book Description
This contributed volume serves as an authoritative reference and guide for anyone looking to study or build a brand in Africa. Despite being touted as the ‘last frontier’ of global brands, very little research exists that examines brands and branding in this emerging market. Authors cover crucial topics such as the history of branding in Africa, branding approaches used by start-ups, religious organizations, political parties, and businesses in the informal economies of Africa, as well as marketing Africa as a brand using practical cases, empirical and critical approaches. With the world’s youngest population and the second-fastest growing economies, Africa has quickly become a hotbed for marketing and consumption of local and global brands. While past research has mostly focused on examining the brand image of Africa and African countries, or on branding Africa as a place for tourist consumption, what is missing is a comprehensive guide that discusses the theory and practice of branding and brands in and from Africa. Through theoretical and practical contributions, the authors of this book seek to fill the knowledge gap about branding in and from Africa.
