Abstract:This study examines the effect of female empowerment on child development in developing countries. Using comprehensive panel data from seventy-eight developing countries between 2000 and 2018, this research assesses the impact of political and economic empowerment of females on the health and education of children. The major findings include (1) that GDP per capita, health expenditure, and the official development assistance are not significantly reducing immunization, child mortality, and primary school enrollment; (2) that women's empowerment in political and economic fields is not significantly affecting the above-mentioned dependent variables; and (3) that when those two kinds of explanatory variables interact, women's empowerment is positively associated with immunization rate and primary school enrollment rate in countries with an income level lower than 1,500–2,000 USD, mainly located in East Africa. Such findings suggest that in certain economic levels, female empowerment and child development policies are complementary and should go hand in hand.

Abstract:This essay offers an interpretative analysis of Nigerian philosopher Adeshina Afolayan's thoughts on the postcolonial predicament and developmental challenges facing Africa and African philosophy. Through a close reading of Afolayan's philosophical oeuvre published between 2002 and 2020, the author offers interpretative insights on how Afolayan's thought can help Africans to address the ideational and developmental challenges facing them today. This work takes the reader into the heart of Afolayan's philosophical beliefs and assumptions that drive his scholarship. The essay names Afolayan's philosophy as demosophy, providing a survey of its terrain and subjecting it to critical evaluation. The essay brings Afolayan's thoughts into rigorous conversations with a broad range of African and Western philosophers.

Abstract:Development in postcolonial India remains a contested terrain where competing approaches are negotiated and operationalized. From the early days of independence, development discourse in India carried elements of Nehruvian impulse of state-led technocratic development as well as people-centric community development primarily influenced by the Gandhian notion of the village economy. The present paper aims at engaging with this Indian development complex, where conventional binaries such as state-led/community-led, national/local, top-down/bottom-up, and so forth are transcended, leading to a framework where the binaries become complementary. It traces the evolution of community development and engages with its mainstreaming in the early decades of independence as well as in the neoliberal phase of developmental governance. Although this renewed trend of involving the community in the development process presents itself to be more people-centric, it is argued that such a tendency could be as homogenizing as the narratives of national and global institutions. The paper recognizes the ambivalence of community development and proposes that the state and community, far from being autonomous spaces, mediate and produce each other.
