This book examines sustainable development in the broader framework
of Africa post COVID-19. Specifically, the book studies
governance and digitalization from the perspective of natural
environment management, climate change, the green economy, as well
as agriculture and education. Digitalization supports the deepening
of natural resource governance by assessing extractive practices,
sovereign wealth funds and the emerging discourse on global warming
and green economic policies. This analytical exercise will better
inform economic and socio-political policies and institutions for
African development. The book, against the backdrop of the United
Nations Agenda 2030 and the African Union Agenda 2063, offers
unique insights on digitalization, governance, the green economy,
and natural resource regime in Africa post COVID-19.
This book examines how disruptive technologies and innovation
underpin the attainment of a broader development agenda in Africa.
Contributors show how distinctive forms of technological innovation
can impact critical development processes. For example, disruptive
technologies can deepen the ongoing democratic and governance waves
in Africa, specifically in the area of contested elections.
Similarly, innovations in agriculture, the environment and energy
promote changes in value chain agriculture, and the use of sensors
to manage e-waste and sustainable energy conservation are also
transforming established practices. Furthermore, the role of
disruptive technologies and innovation in education, health,
financial services and the nature of paid work cannot be ignored.
Individually and collectively, the authors discuss and highlight
the mechanisms and initiatives that can contribute to the
realization of the development goals of African countries,
especially in a period where disruptive technologies are rapidly
changing how things are done. As a result, this book, which
represents one of the most recent systematic efforts to bring
together dialogue on disruptive technologies in Africa, will be of
particular use and benefit to a wide and an eclectic audience.

Originally published as parts I and II of Lea's major historical
work Superstition and Force, this volume discusses the limitations
in the Middle Ages of what modern jurists would term private law,
or civil cases, and the concept of imminent justice through divine
intervention in determining the verdict.
