Over recent years, few areas of international development research have seen as much transformation as those relating to energy access and low carbon transitions. Ghana, amongst other African economies, has seen an increase in energy demand surpassing the supply of energy in the last decade. The incorporation of the incorporation of renewable energy into the mix is, therefore, seen as a significant role in addressing the energy needs by replacing conventional fuels with clean and reliable domestic electricity with the advantage of local economic opportunities. The country has adopted the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG); SDG goal 7 targets ensuring universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services. This target presents a formidable challenge to Ghana because the country still relies mainly on non-renewable energy sources. The country has a huge potential for renewable energy that remains underexploited. This study, therefore, seeks to assess the current renewable energy resource situation, examine the trend in Ghana’s energy consumption and undertake a comprehensive review and critical evaluation of Ghana’s renewable energy drive and policies.
近年来,很少有国际发展研究领域能像能源获取和低碳转型领域那样发生如此大的转变。加纳和其他非洲经济体一样,在过去十年中,能源需求的增长超过了能源供应。因此,将可再生能源纳入混合能源被视为通过利用当地经济机会用清洁可靠的国内电力取代传统燃料来满足能源需求的重要作用。该国通过了联合国可持续发展目标;可持续发展目标7的目标是确保普遍获得负担得起、可靠和现代化的能源服务。这一目标对加纳来说是一个巨大的挑战,因为该国仍然主要依赖不可再生能源。该国可再生能源潜力巨大,但开发不足。因此,本研究旨在评估当前的可再生能源状况,研究加纳能源消费的趋势,并对加纳的可再生能源驱动力和政策进行全面审查和批判性评估。

India and Mozambique both have a long history of friendly relations that have been built upon traditional linkages dating back to the pre-colonial period. There has been the exchange of Indian merchants and businessmen to Mozambique even before Vasco da Gama set sail for Africa and India. Due to the migration based on trading, the Indians have settled in Mozambique as traders. These ancient people-to-people contacts have been further built upon in modern times, to forge a strong bilateral relationship based on regular political contacts, ever-deepening economic engagement and well-integrated Indian community in Mozambique. India has a history of supporting African nations in their freedom struggle and it did support Mozambique too. In fact, India was amongst the first countries to open its embassy in Mozambique immediately after its independence. The Indian Ambassador was among those who witnessed the historic moment of the Portuguese flag coming down and new Mozambican flag going up in 1975. This article would try to trace the relationship between India and Mozambique in the past and will bring out the important areas for further co-operation between the two nations.
印度和莫桑比克都有着悠久的友好关系历史,这种关系建立在可追溯到前殖民时期的传统联系的基础上。早在达伽马(Vasco da Gama)起航前往非洲和印度之前,就有印度商人与莫桑比克进行贸易往来。由于以贸易为基础的移民,印度人以贸易商的身份定居在莫桑比克。这些古老的民间交流在现代得到了进一步的发展,在定期的政治接触、不断深化的经济往来和在莫桑比克良好融合的印度社区的基础上,建立了牢固的双边关系。印度有支持非洲国家自由斗争的历史,它也支持过莫桑比克。事实上,印度是莫桑比克独立后第一批在该国开设大使馆的国家之一。印度大使是1975年目睹葡萄牙国旗降下和莫桑比克新国旗升起这一历史性时刻的人之一。本文将试图追溯印度和莫桑比克过去的关系,并将提出两国之间进一步合作的重要领域。

With the increasing spread of information technology in Africa, digitalisation of elections is gradually becoming a popular phenomenon in the continent. However, there has not been sufficient awareness on the potential dangers in the process of digitalising elections. In this regard, this article provides analysis of the connection between the use of technological model in elections and security using the Nigerian example. The article acknowledges the potency of the technological model to solve the problem of electoral malpractices and ultimately address issues concerning electoral violence over claims of fraud. Notwithstanding its usefulness, the article analyses the challenges associated with the technological model and how this represents a major security threat. In this regard, the key question is: does Nigeria have the technical capacity to manage effectively electronic devices that have the potential of being used to unleash massive electoral fraud that could completely undermine peaceful coexistence within its fragile and sensitive electoral context? Following this, the article advances a number of policy recommendations on the measures to put the technological model into an effective use in order to promote peaceful elections in Nigeria.
随着信息技术在非洲的日益普及,选举数字化正逐渐成为非洲大陆的一种流行现象。然而,人们还没有充分认识到选举数字化过程中的潜在危险。在这方面,本文以尼日利亚为例,分析了在选举中使用技术模式与安全之间的联系。这篇文章承认了技术模式在解决选举舞弊问题并最终解决因舞弊指控而引发的选举暴力问题方面的效力。尽管这篇文章很有用,但它分析了与技术模式相关的挑战,以及这是如何构成重大安全威胁的。在这方面,关键问题是:尼日利亚是否有技术能力有效管理电子设备,这些设备有可能被用来发动大规模选举舞弊,从而在其脆弱和敏感的选举环境中完全破坏和平共处?在此之后,文章就有效利用技术模式以促进尼日利亚和平选举的措施提出了一些政策建议。

Neo-colonialism in Africa and the Cases of Turkey and Iran 非洲新殖民主义与土耳其和伊朗的个案

Africa is suffering from neo-colonialism for the same reasons that it suffered from colonialism. Neo-colonialism is the regressive impact of unregulated forms of aid, trade and foreign direct investment; and the collaboration of African leaders with foreign leaders to ensure that the interests of both are met with little concern for the development, sustainability and poverty reduction and wellbeing in African countries. The relationship is asymmetrical or at the cost of African states and their people, who are dependent rather that inter-dependent and do not profit through development or sustainability. They face destruction of their culture, religion and education through continued advancement of foreign culture, religion and language to supplant the African and growing radicalisation of the population. This is elaborated thematically under four headings: Africa the colonial dream, the emergence of neo-colonialism, the proponents of neo-colonialism and the element of religion. Evidence of Middle East states are shown as neo-colonialists in Africa discussed under the cases of Turkey and Iran. The motivation of the former is for the purposes of economics and the latter is for the purposes of religion. Both benefit also through status by projecting their influence as growing global actors. The breakdown of African nations rather than their positive construction and development is increasingly visible. The conclusions are that neo-colonialism is active.
非洲正遭受新殖民主义的痛苦,其原因与遭受殖民主义的原因相同。新殖民主义是不受管制的援助、贸易和外国直接投资形式的倒退影响;以及非洲领导人与外国领导人的合作,以确保双方的利益得到满足,而不关心非洲国家的发展、可持续性、减贫和福祉。这种关系是不对称的,或者是以非洲国家及其人民为代价的,他们是相互依赖的,不通过发展或可持续性获利。由于外国文化、宗教和语言的不断发展以取代非洲人,以及人口日益激进化,他们面临着文化、宗教及教育的破坏。这在四个标题下进行了主题阐述:非洲——殖民梦想、新殖民主义的出现、新殖民论的支持者和宗教元素。中东国家的证据显示,它们是在土耳其和伊朗的案例下讨论的非洲新殖民主义者。前者的动机是出于经济目的,后者是出于宗教目的。这两个国家也因其作为日益增长的全球行动者的影响力而受益。非洲国家的崩溃越来越明显,而不是它们积极的建设和发展。结论是,新殖民主义是活跃的。

The study examined Kenya’s transport infrastructure by assessing strengths, opportunities, challenges and initiatives aimed at enhancing existing systems and mitigating gaps towards more connectivity, mobility and reduced costs. Specific objectives of the study included evaluating the current state of transport infrastructure in Kenya, examining milestones in Kenya’s transport infrastructure development in the last decade and determining whether planned transport infrastructure development projects in Kenya would enhance regional integration. This study was significant to policy handlers, development partners and scholars in the region as findings will inform targeted planning and programming for improved transport connectivity. Target population was 150 individuals drawn from the categories of related actors with a sample size of 75 individuals, which was arrived at exclusively and objectively by researcher. The study established that the transport structural gap was a serious handicap to growth and poverty reduction in eastern Africa and that transport connectivity had a direct link to any country’s competitiveness because it weighs on cost of doing business and living. The study recommended sector reforms and innovation towards optimum level of connectivity as a result of the upgraded transport system, with eastern Africa reaching greater regional integration. The study adopted descriptive approach in analysing quantitative and qualitative data as variables under investigation were described.
该研究通过评估肯尼亚的运输基础设施的优势、机遇、挑战和旨在加强现有系统和缩小差距以提高连通性、机动性和降低成本的举措,对其进行了审查。该研究的具体目标包括评估肯尼亚交通基础设施的现状,审查肯尼亚过去十年交通基础设施发展的里程碑,并确定肯尼亚规划的交通基础设施开发项目是否会促进区域一体化。这项研究对该地区的政策制定者、发展伙伴和学者具有重要意义,因为研究结果将为改善交通连通性的有针对性的规划和方案制定提供信息。目标人群是从相关行为者类别中抽取的150人,样本量为75人,这是研究人员独家客观得出的。该研究表明,运输结构差距严重阻碍了东非的增长和减贫,运输连通性与任何国家的竞争力都有直接联系,因为这会影响商业和生活成本。该研究建议,随着东非实现更大的区域一体化,通过升级交通系统,进行部门改革和创新,以实现最佳的连通性水平。该研究采用描述性方法分析定量和定性数据,描述了调查中的变量。

Economic Community of West African States, Regional security and the Implementation of Humanitarian Intervention and the Responsibility to Protect: Rhetoric or Reality? 西非国家经济共同体:区域安全与人道主义干预的实施和保护责任:修辞还是现实?
IF 0.8 Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2019-07-29 DOI: 10.1177/0975087819845195

The last 25 years have seen Economic Community of West African States, through the use of various norms, structures and protocols, make the promotion of security and the implementation of humanitarian intervention and the responsibility to protect (R2P) important aspects of the political landscape in the sub-region. The article argues that despite the great strides made by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in the implementation of R2P, there are not only challenges (inadequate funds available for peace and security missions, conflicting interests and lack of agreement, poor co-ordination, inadequate human and logistics capacity) with its application in the sub-region, but also concerns about its future. Thus, to promote security and realise the goals of implementing humanitarian intervention and R2P in the ECOWAS sub-region, not only should the actors involved have the requisite capacity but also political will and commitment, citizen awareness, and co-operation among ECOWAS member-states and with the international community should remain crucial to the process.
在过去25年中,西非国家经济共同体通过使用各种规范、结构和议定书,使促进安全和实施人道主义干预以及保护责任成为该次区域政治格局的重要方面。文章认为,尽管西非国家经济共同体(西非经共体)在执行保护责任方面取得了巨大进展,但在次区域的应用不仅存在挑战(可用于和平与安全任务的资金不足、利益冲突和缺乏协议、协调不力、人力和后勤能力不足),但也对其未来感到担忧。因此,为了促进安全并实现在西非经共体次区域实施人道主义干预和保护责任的目标,相关行为者不仅应该具备必要的能力,而且政治意愿和承诺、公民意识以及西非经共体成员国之间以及与国际社会的合作对这一进程仍然至关重要。

Sub-regional Security Challenge: ECOWAS and the War on Terrorism in West Africa 次区域安全挑战:西非经共体和西非反恐战争

In recent years, the West African sub-region has been faced with a wave of terrorism, resulting in the death of hundreds of people, destruction of public and private properties, and the displacement of millions. In response, states and multilateral institutions within and outside the sub-region have developed and introduced different mechanisms to address the issue. This article, however, investigates the experience of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in counterterrorism in West Africa. The idea is not to go over the role of ECOWAS with a fine-tooth comb but to focus attention on the themes that have emanated from its different efforts to address the problem. Specifically, it examines the kind of issues and challenges ECOWAS has faced in the current international political environment and the factors that influenced its ability to respond effectively to these issues and challenges.
近年来,西非分区域面临恐怖主义浪潮,造成数百人死亡,公共和私人财产遭到破坏,数百万人流离失所。为此,次区域内外各国和多边机构制定并推出了不同的机制来解决这一问题。然而,本文调查了西非国家经济共同体(ECOWAS)在西非反恐方面的经验。我们的想法不是对西非经共体的作用进行一丝不苟的审查,而是把注意力集中在它为解决这一问题所作的不同努力所产生的主题上。具体而言,报告审查了西非经共体在当前国际政治环境中面临的各种问题和挑战,以及影响其有效应对这些问题和挑战的能力的因素。
