Local perspectives on human rights abuses within Ghana's extractive industries
Sustainable development goals and post-pandemic resilience
Survivor’s Perceptions of Human Trafficking Rehabilitation Programs in Nigeria
While disagreements about the value of rehabilitation programs persist, these programs are still largely seen as essential for the protection of the human rights of survivors of human trafficking, and the facilitation of their recovery and empowerment after trafficking. Consequently, it is not surprising that rehabilitation programs are a core component of the Nigerian government’s anti-trafficking policies. However, only limited efforts have so …
Religion and post-migration aspirations
This paper explores the ways in which, as part of their settlement process, Ethiopian immigrants in Canada (1) draw on religious beliefs, practices, and communities; (2) how they employ the teachings of their faith to advance their well-being; and (3) how these practices pattern their resilience and frame how they articulate – and the methods by which they ultimately achieve – their post-migration aspirations. Findings underscore how religion fas…
Ghana's adoption of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (Eiti)
The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is a global standard that aims to promote greater accountability and transparency in the extractive sector. Drawing on research carried out in Ghana to assess the impact of the Ghana EITI (GHEITI) at the community level, this paper asks: Is there variation between mining communities in the level of awareness of GHEITI and royalty disbursements to rural districts, and if so, what might this …
A club perspective of sustainability certification schemes in the tourism and hospitality industry
Drawing on club theory, this study examines the challenges and opportunities facing a sustainability certification program, the Green Key scheme, in terms of its recruitment and retention of members within the Dutch tourism and hospitality industry. Extant literature on sustainability certification in this industry tends to focus narrowly on motivations and retention problems at the firm level, or else on drivers of or barriers to the adoption of…

Linking stakeholder perspectives for environmental policy development and implementation in Ghana’s gold mining sector
Africapitalism
Africa is on the rise. Enabled by natural resources, commodity trading and the recent discovery of Africa as the last frontier of capitalism by the global market, African entrepreneurs are now being empowered as economic change agents. How can this new economic elite engage in the sustainable development of the continent? 'Africapitalism', the term coined by Nigerian economist Tony O. Elumelu, describes an economic philosophy embodying the privat…

Shell–NGO Partnership and Peace in Nigeria
The recent efforts to better understand how businesses can contribute to peace in conflict zones suggest that partnerships can be an effective vehicle for corporate peacebuilding. However, empirical analyses of how partnerships contribute to peace remain limited. Drawing on the differences among cultural, structural, and direct violence, this article examines the extent to which the partnership between Shell and a group of NGOs contributes to pea…
Africapitalism
Africapitalism, a term coined by Mr Tony O. Elumelu C.O.N. – a Nigerian banker and economist is an economic philosophy that embodies the private sector’s commitment to the economic transformation of Africa through investments that generate both economic prosperity and social wealth". The concept is fast becoming a buzz word in Africa and expected to gain recognition even beyond the continent. In this chapter, we seek to provide insight about this…
Business and peace in the Niger Delta
The global restructuring of state–society relationships driven by neoliberal logic has not only allowed for the taming of the ‘state’, which has paradoxically accentuated its inadequacies, but has also facilitated, for better or for worse, the emergence of business – especially transnational corporations – as a major political force in global governance. Consequently, while the issues of peace and conflict have traditionally been the concern of g…
Corporate-community engagement strategies in the Niger Delta
Corporate Social Responsibility and Development in Africa
The literature on the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and development in Africa is only just emerging, and it is characterized by a wide range of diverse perspectives. While the analysis of the CSR-development nexus in Africa has been particularly insightful, there is often the lack of sufficiently grounded systematically accumulated empirical evidence. However, central to the CSR-development nexus debate in Africa is t…
Revisiting Corporate Citizenship Theory and Practice from the Perspective of Local Communities in Africa
Corporate social responsibility and developing countries
The criticism that the mainstream corporate social responsibility (CSR) agenda was largely driven by the concerns and priorities of western countries and therefore tends to be insensitive to local priorities as well as inadvertently harm prospects for sustainable livelihood in developing countries set the tone for the emergence of a South-centred CSR agenda. The efforts to broaden the scope and content of mainstream CSR discourse and practice has…
Oil Companies and Sustainable Community Development in the Niger Delta, Nigeria
Most of the works that have explored the relationship between Corporate Citizenship (CC) initiatives and their contribution to sustainable community development in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria have been insightful. However, the question of reciprocal responsibility has largely been unaddressed. Similarly, disagreement persists with regard to the impact of oil multinational corporations' (MNC) CC initiative on governmental community development…
Corporate Social Responsibility and the Rentier Nigerian State
This paper contributes to the emerging discussion on the role of government in corporate social responsibility (CSR) from a developing country perspective. Drawing on a preliminary conceptual framework, the paper critically examines the extent to which the Nigerian government has facilitated or inhibited CSR practices, and the ramifications for corporate social development. It demonstrates that the nature of the Nigerian state, the country's rent…

The changing phases of the Niger Delta conflict
This paper discusses the nature and dynamics of the Niger Delta conflict and traces the structural origin of the conflict to a dysfunctional Nigerian ‘state-nation’ that is a product of colonisation. The paper argues that the conflict is best understood as a process viewed in terms of nests or phases. Building on previous findings on the aetiology of African conflicts and contemporary scholarship on African politics, the paper identifies how diff…
The Quest for the Effective Use of Natural Resource Revenue in Africa
Questions about the effective use of natural resource revenues have in recent years become increasingly central to local and international efforts to address the problem of resource curse in Africa. The emerging and dominant perspective tends to emphasize the links between transparency and accountability. This approach has been instrumental to the opening of new spaces for stakeholder engagement in the bid to transform natural resource revenues i…
Demystifying the Niger Delta conflict
The conflict in the Niger Delta region in Nigeria has lasted for more than a decade, with little or no attempt at an analytical explanation. As a result, the situation has made effective conflict resolution difficult, and perpetuated the confusion of fiction over fact. This paper sets out to correct the shortcomings in existing literature by proffering an integrated explanation of various factors responsible for the conflict. The paper concludes …
