Chapter 4: Diaspora High Achievers Supporting Institutional Development in Sub-Saharan Africa
P. 101–122.
Freinkman L.
This chapter focuses on the role of African diaspora high achievers in contributing to institutional development in their home countries over time. The discourse on African diasporas often focuses either on how diaspora members’ talent is lacking back home or how much their remittances and charities could fill the development finance gap. Yet this chapter examines how the African diaspora has helped to shape institutions in their home countries. The involvement of diaspora high achievers in shaping both public and private institutions is nothing new, and has taken place over three phases since the waves of African countries’ independence. However, most recently the process has been characterized by more efficient communication and increased business opportunities in Africa, allowing the highly skilled to strengthen their impact, especially with respect to building economic institutions.

В статье анализируется вопрос о том, почему Республика Чад, вопреки предрасположенности к федеративному устройству – в силу своей расовой, языковой, этнической и религиозной разобщенности, - до сих пор остается унитарным государством. Соответственно, целью исследования выступает выявление причин, которые мешают этой африканской стране задействовать потенциал федерализма, позволяющий – по меньшей мере, теоретически, - умиротворять и гармонизировать ...

После того, как в 2021-м в ходе боевых действий против мятежников погиб чадский президент Идрис Деби, правивший страной с 1990 года, Чад вошел в полосу политического транзита. Этот процесс осуществлялся под руководством Переходного военного совета, возглавляемого Махаматом Деби – сыном убитого президента. В отличие от некоторых других стран Сахеля, где аналогичные стадии политического перехода сегодня ...

Первые контакты африканцев с внешним миром относятся к началу XV в. Между тем, первыми африканцами на других континентах были отнюдь не рабы, как это обычно принято считать. Африканцы сопровождали европейских ...
