Systemic barriers to agricultural innovation
This study examines barriers to innovation practices related to Kuncho teff in the Chilga District of Northwestern Ethiopia. It has three main objectives: (i) assess the current state of technological innovation adoption for Kuncho teff, (ii) gather farmers’ perspectives on innovation practices, and (iii) identify challenges hindering widespread adoption of innovations. A mixed-methods approach was used, incorporating household surveys (n = 262),…
Endogenous Knowledge and Secondary Innovation in the Age of Covid-19
We begin our reflection in this paper with the cursory observation that most of the major variants of the SARS CoV-2 virus were deciphered in the Global South, namely, alpha (China), beta and omicron (South Africa). This underappreciated fact demonstrates that independent capabilities in frontier sciences in the South contributed fundamentally to global efforts to minimise the human cost of the pandemic. However, while the more efficient vaccines…
Nature and composition of rural innovation actor networks in South Africa
Rural innovation processes are deeply embedded in actor networks, and their successes and failures are influenced by the nature and composition of such networks. While South Africa has adopted the National Systems of Innovation (NSI) framework since 1996, the participation of key recognised knowledge producers such as science councils and universities in rural innovation networks is underdetermined. Nevertheless, an explicit policy shift in the n…

Re-inventing the GM Debate
A regulatory framework is among the major factors that determine the innovative capacity of a nation. It may block or ease innovative performance; it may scare away skills and expertise or may reverse brain drain and waste, it may attract and retain investment or lead to relocation of investors. The Ethiopian Biosafety Proclamation of 2009 has come under thorough scrutiny from all sides for its effect on innovation in biotechnology in Ethiopia. W…
An institutional perspective to challenges undermining innovation activities in Africa
Innovation is of paramount importance if Africa is to achieve sustained economic growth, development, and improved welfare of its people. In this context, the paper argues that institutional factors, despite their importance in shaping innovation on the continent, have received less attention. The paper is based on literature review and uses an institutional analysis framework to explore how institutional factors influence innovation activities. …
Christopher Freeman
It is not easy to do justice and write in a short article on Chris Freeman's enormous scientific contributions spanning over half a century of work since the late 1950s. The article begins with an exploration of some of the contributions of Chris Freeman to the economic theory of innovation. Second, Chris Freeman had been engaged in major debates, but he had a particular way of maintaining strong argument whilst treating those he argues with genu…
Effect of Climate Change on Agricultural Productivity in Nigeria
Climatic fluctuation is putting Nigeria’s agriculture system under serious threat and stress. The study of the effect of climate change on agricultural productivity is critical given its impact in changing livelihood patterns in the country. Descriptive and co-integration analysis are the techniques used to analyze the Time series data used in this work. The finding demonstrates that the rate in agricultural productivity is persistently higher be…
A theory of an Africa as a unification nation
Paradoxes of Industrialisation and Unilateral Liberalisation in Africa
Barriers to the Uptake of Cleaner Technologies in African Countries
Old wine in new bottles
Leather processing in Ethiopia and Kenya
Searching for opportunities for Sub-Saharan Africa's renewal in the era of globalisation
Pan-Africanism
The article argues for relaunching the debate on Pan-African unity to recapture the lost ground and make good the opportunity cost incurred by Africa in choosing the minimalist aims of settling for fragile and weak states with an equally enfeebled Organisation of African Unity. The construction of a Pan-African identity through the development of a shared goal and social and historical experience of struggling to lifting up Africa from its untena…
The fourth discontinuity
American Dreams and Soviet Realities
After a brief review of the development of Taylorism in the us, the authors provide an account of the introduction of Taylorism into the Soviet Union under party control. They insist that Taylorism operates to dispossess workers of control in the productive process and cannot therefore, be used for socialist strategies of social and economic transformation
