Regionalization of African Higher Education -progress and prospects
Regionalization of higher education in Africa is the least researched topic in the field of Social Science. In this regard, this book is a pioneer in terms of exploring both the historical and theoretical dynamics of regionalization processes within Africa. This book raises fundamental questions that focus on context and formation, operationalization and implications, and challenges and prospects of these regionalization processes. In doing so, it gives both the analytical contexts of the evolution of higher education regionalization and the current initiatives by the African Union. Dissertation.

Partnership in Higher Education -African Higher Education: Developments and Perspectives
Trends in institutional partnership in higher education have shown tremendous growth in the past three decades. These trends are manifested through the growing initiatives of joint programs that promote collaborative research, academic mobility, joint curriculum development and course delivery, joint bidding for development projects and bench marking. Partnerships in higher education have been used not only as an instrument for institutional development through a wide range of strategic alliances but also as an essential way of introducing new voices to the operations of the universities by initiating new paradigms that bring new perspectives and bear competitive advantage on the partners. As the trend of partnership in higher education grew, scholars in higher education studies have also engaged in conceptualising higher education partnership from academic perspectives, analysing trends and developing models of higher education collaborations.

No LOGO-Naomi Klein
NO LOGO was an international bestseller and “a movement bible” (The New York Times). Naomi Klein’s second book, The Shock Doctrine, was hailed as a “master narrative of our time,” and has over a million copies in print worldwide.
In the last decade, No Logo has become an international phenomenon and a cultural manifesto for the critics of unfettered capitalism worldwide. As America faces a second economic depression, Klein’s analysis of our corporate and branded world is as timely and powerful as ever.
Equal parts cultural analysis, political manifesto, mall-rat memoir, and journalistic exposé, No Logo is the first book to put the new resistance into pop-historical and clear economic perspective. Naomi Klein tells a story of rebellion and self-determination in the face of our new branded world.
