Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 510
Book Description
A robust manufacturing sector is a necessity and a sufficient condition for any country’s human and economic development as it creates employment and alleviates poverty. During this Fourth Industrial Revolution era, there is an urgent need in Africa to optimally utilize the existing resources to support manufacturing or else risk allowing the continent to fall behind in the industrial economy.

The Handbook of Research on Nurturing Industrial Economy for Africa’s Development examines various innovations necessary for Africa’s economic development including drivers of the manufacturing economy such as education, agriculture, human capital, science and technological innovations, language, politics, and business environments. The book explores strategies to increase Africa’s economic diversity, complexity, productivity, and ultimately competitiveness, and for the continent to realize its manufacturing/industrial potential. Further, chapters focus on African countries’ industrial economies in the African context and facilitating the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the African Union’s Agenda 2063.

Handbook of Research on Artificial Intelligence in Government Practices and Processes
Author: Saura, Jose Ramon
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1799896110
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
In today’s global culture where the internet has established itself as a main tool of communication, the global system of economy and regulations, as well as data and decisions based on data analysis, have become essential for public actors and institutions. Governments need to be updated and use the latest technologies to understand what society’s demands are, and user behavioral data, which can be pulled by intelligent applications, can offer tremendous insights into this. The Handbook of Research on Artificial Intelligence in Government Practices and Processes identifies definitional perspectives of behavioral data science and what its use by governments means for automation, predictability, and risks to privacy and free decision making in society. Many governments can train their algorithms to work with machine learning, leading to the capacity to interfere in the behavior of society and potentially achieve a change in societal behavior without society itself even being aware of it. As such, the use of artificial intelligence by governments has raised concerns about privacy and personal security issues. Covering topics such as digital democracy, data extraction techniques, and political communications, this book is an essential resource for data analysts, politicians, journalists, public figures, executives, researchers, data specialists, communication specialists, digital marketers, and academicians.

Minding the Gap Between Restorative Justice, Therapeutic Jurisprudence, and Global Indigenous Wisdom
Author: Saade, Marta Vides
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1668441144
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
Foundational principles of the contemporary practices of both restorative justice and the concept of therapeutic jurisprudence often import organic and indigenous practices of conflict resolution to resolve insufficiencies and even to explain fundamental ideas. Too often, the indiscriminate use of such practices does not mind the gap between the defining principles, the guiding principles, or the limiting principles that challenge particular features of practical applications. Minding the Gap Between Restorative Justice, Therapeutic Jurisprudence, and Global Indigenous Wisdom gives an authentic voice to practitioners and theorists whose work originates in organic or indigenous conflict resolution. It raises awareness of the diversity of approaches to dispute resolution from the deep perspective of their foundations and understands the challenges that arise in the practical application of restorative justice and therapeutic jurisprudence models when using principles disconnected from their foundation. It further offers ways to bridge the gap so that it is no longer an obstacle but a source of transformation. Covering topics such as justice praxes, indigenous conflict resolution, and global indigenous wisdom, this premier reference source is a dynamic resource for HR managers, lawyers, government officials, mediators, counselors, students and faculty of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

Global Perspectives on the Emerging Trends in Public Diplomacy
Author: Kavo?lu, Samet
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1668491621
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Since the 20th century, when modern democracies gained more strength, governments have carried out their internal and foreign affairs policies with society's approval. For that reason, all organizations that want to influence governments try to gain a reputation in the eyes of the public. Similarly, states also attempt to build a reputation and trust in the public opinion of a target country or within particular target communities through public diplomacy activities. It is seen that remarkable public diplomacy studies and works have been carried out for more than half a century, and the field has advanced. However, the public diplomacy literature is mainly USA-dominated due to its pioneering role in the emergence of the concept and its institutionalization. Public diplomacy perceptions and practices in other countries also develop under the influence of this experience. With this effect, each country determines its practice areas and actors for public diplomacy considering its power, sphere of influence, opportunities, and risks. Global Perspectives on the Emerging Trends in Public Diplomacy offers insights into the approaches taken by countries in different geographies and how they tailor their public diplomacy activities based on their unique opportunities and risks. By examining the practices of various countries, this book provides a global picture of public diplomacy activities and identifies emerging trends shaping the field. This book is essential for researchers, academicians, undergraduate and postgraduate students, and non-government and government organizations looking to enhance their understanding of public diplomacy. The diverse range of perspectives offered in this book will enable readers to understand how different countries approach public diplomacy and how these activities are evolving in the current global landscape.
