recent years, climate litigation has become an important subject of
global scholarly and policy interest. However, developments within
the Global South, particularly in Africa, have been largely
neglected. This volume brings together an international team of
contributors to provide a much-needed examination of climate
litigation in Africa. The book outlines how climate litigation in
Africa is distinct as well as pinpointing where it connects with
the global conversation. Chapters engage with crucial themes such
as human rights approaches to climate governance, corporate
liability and the role of gender in climate litigation. Spanning a
range of approaches and jurisdictions, the book challenges
universal concepts around climate and the role of activism
(including litigation) in seeking to advance climate governance.
Negotiating Patriarchy and Gender in Africa: Discourses, Practices,
and Policies examines the entrenchment of patriarchy in Africa and
its attendant socioeconomic and political consequences on gender
relations. The contributors analyze the historical and modern ways
in which gender expectations have enabled women in African
societies to be systematically abused and marginalized, from unpaid
labor to poor representation in decision-making areas. Exploring
regions such as rural Uganda, the suburbs of Zimbabwe, the Gold
Coast, South Africa, and Nigeria, contributors incorporate a wide
range of academic theories and disciplines to establish the need
for improved policy implementation on gender issues at both the
local and national government levels in Africa.
This edited volume examines the development and challenges of
governance, democracy, and human rights in Africa. It analyzes the
emerging challenges for strengthening good governance in the region
and explores issues related to civil, political, economic,
cultural, and social rights highlighting group rights including
women, girls, and other minority groups. The project presents a
useful study of the democratization processes and normative
developments in Africa exploring challenges in the form of
corruption, conflict, political violence, and their subsequent
impact on populations. The contributors appraise the implementation
gap between law and practice and the need for institutional reform
to build strong and robust mechanisms at the domestic, regional,
and international levels.
