Dialectics of insecurity and development in Africa: the role of development partners / Ojakorotu, Victor; Onwughalu, Vincent Chukwukadibia   Journal Article
Ojakorotu, Victor Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract To achieve development in a state of insecurity is a mirage. Africa is caught in this web, as every sub-region faces security challenges. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were developed as frameworks to fast track development in developing countries and sustain it in developed countries through global partnerships. This study is an advocacy to reinvent the role development partners can play to prevent and contain insecurity in the continent. It examines insecurity and development scenarios of countries in Africa, relying on the analysis of secondary data. Based on the triangulation of the Development Partnership Approach and Structural-Functional Approach as the framework for the study analysis, the findings suggest that development partners need to do more to prevent and contain insecurity in the region. The study proposes ways the development partners can achieve these.

Look east policy: the case of Zimbabwe–China political and economic relations since 2000 / Ojakorotu, Victor ; Kamidza, Rumbidzai   Journal Article
Victor Ojakorotu, Rumbidzai Kamidza Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article maps the evolution of Zimbabwe’s Look East Policy (LEP) and specifically the bilateral relationship with China through the lens of Zimbabwe’s domestic politics. It argues that political elite in Zimbabwe has a vested interest in a close economic and political relationship with China at the cost of the interests of the people of Zimbabwe. The author establishes that Zimbabwe’s LEP was intended to respond to the economic sanctions imposed on it by Western nations. From the descriptive account of the LEP provided in the article, it appears that the LEP has been successful in doing that by having a broad-based economic and political relationship with China. The author further critiques the impact of Chinese investment in Zimbabwe as detrimental to the interests of the people.
