Social rights are a pivotal concern for all of society, including
today's population of children. The study of the rights, or lack
thereof, that children have must be undertaken to ensure that
future generations are thriving members of their communities.
Global Ideologies Surrounding Children's Rights and Social Justice
highlights the trials and tribulations that children have often had
to overcome to be considered true citizens of their communities.
Featuring comprehensive coverage on a wide range of applicable
topics such as child abuse, socio-economic rights, social
injustice, and welfare issues, this is a critical reference source
for educators, academicians, students, and researchers interested
in studying new approaches for the social advancement of children.
For the social sciences, the approach and processes in research are
quite different. The type of evidence that social scientists can
collect is often very dependent on the method that has been used to
gather the data. The type of findings that can be discussed are
often not straightforward at all, and no easy comparison can be
made with the natural sciences, although this is not impossible.
The methodology in the social sciences has the same role as
technology and lab techniques in the natural sciences as these need
to be developed rapidly to account for the increasing complexity of
the natural objects to be studied. The methodologies in the social
sciences need to go through an intense period of critique,
reflection, and reformulation to consider the complexity of social
issues under investigation. Therefore, the area of social sciences
research and methodologies should continually be studied to advance
the field. Approaches and Processes of Social Science Research
presents new research methodologies in the social science field and
aims at providing a broad introduction to the methodology of social
research in its main theoretical foundations as well as in its
practical applications. Readers will develop a critical thinking
attitude about social problems which in turn will sharpen their
analytic approach to research. This book includes four main parts:
philosophical perspectives, strategies for conducting research,
common approaches for handling and collecting data, and critical
aspects of research writing throughout the process. While
highlighting topics such as critical theory in research, ethical
issues, research processes, data analysis, and more, this book is
ideal for researchers in the social sciences and practitioners,
stakeholders, academicians, and students interested in deepening
their understanding of the ideas and the practices of social
science research.
This book seeks to address critical issues and challenges in Africa
and the emerging trends for the future. Authors from varied
disciplines will examine and offer insight into what knowledge
already exists in a specific topic area and what that may mean for
the future of Africa. Despite several idealistic efforts towards a
united Africa, the term remains a hypothetical concept symbolizing
a desired federal state on the continent. This book plays an
important role in shaping policies on the future of Africa through
a deconstructive interrogation of present trends. It provides a
valuable resource in varied fields of study and is highly relevant
to the emerging contexts in Africa. The audience of this book
includes students and policymakers, key players in Africa,
political parties, trade unions, NGO's, and general audiences
looking to examine and understand the future trends in Africa.

Despite several idealistic efforts towards a united Africa, the
term remains a hypothetical concept symbolizing a desired federal
state on the continent. While globalization and interconnectedness
have brought prosperity in some parts of the world, Africa has not
generally benefited from global decisions. These decisions,
policies, and practices have tended to be wholly influenced by the
rich and powerful countries and their transnational agencies and
corporations in pursuit of their national interests. Faced with
such enormous external economic and political forces, the divided
and powerless African states have been unable to bargain for
lucrative economic deals or pursue national interests for the
benefit of their people, hence the need to examine what exists in
varied fields and the emerging trends for the future.
Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Future of Africa and Policy
Development addresses critical issues and challenges in Africa and
seeks to examine and understand the future trends in Africa through
a deconstructive interrogation of present trends. Covering a wide
range of topics such as sustainability, equality, and democracy, it
is ideal for researchers, academicians, students, economists,
policymakers, political parties, trade unions, and NGOs.
