It is usually alleged that there is a misallignment between the skill set of CGDS students and the competencies required for work. But there is dearth of empirical evidence with which to verify the attacks on CGDS. Specifically, how do CGDS students experience work and what are employers’ experiences of working with critical development studies students? Drawing on a thematic analysis of more than 100 reflections by CGDS interns and their employers, this paper shows that most of these interns find internships rewarding, and employers consider CGDS to be competent. CGDs interns are typically described as ‘capable’, ‘quick to learn’, ‘innovative’, ‘independent-minded’ and yet excellent at ‘teamwork’. Employers also commonly describe those CGDS interns who work in research institutions and think tanks as ‘analytical’. This empirical evidence refutes the attacks on CDGS. As CGDS students work in all sectors of society – from private and public to the third sector across the world, these results suggest that CGDS students contribute constructively to reconstructing societies. Overall, the evidence shows that there is room for more, not less, critical global development studies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34321,"journal":{"name":"Research in Globalization","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100303"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144766936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine convergence in real income per capita and sectoral value-added (1970–2023) through five analytical domains: a pan-African aggregate and four structural clusters—fragile, agricultural commodity-driven, oil-exporting, and emerging economies. A range of econometric techniques, including Pooled Least Squares, Fixed and Random Effects, nonparametric Kernel, System Generalized Method of Moments, and Prais-Winsten regressions, is used in the analysis. We establish a continent-wide conditional income convergence of 2.06 % per annum, mainly driven by initial income level, industrial expansion, and modernization in service-oriented activity. Though, large productivity differences in agriculture impede full economic integration. Emerging markets have the fastest convergence in output gaps relative to the African steady state post-2007/08 financial crisis due to greater integration into capital markets and international trade. Oil exporters retain moderate convergence despite substantial volatility. Fragile economies, meanwhile, are the most deviant set, operating at nearly 90 % below a continental equilibrium because of debt overhang and low engagement into global value chains. Industrialization, foreign investment, domestic credit, and regional trade fuel economic growth in Africa but excessive defense expenditure and exchange rate volatility are acute curbs. Although intra-African trade has marked progress in connectivity, especially since 2010, variations in sectoral transformation, regional trade share, and macro-financial stability cast doubt on the viability of a pan-African monetary model. We argue for a phased move prioritizing economic convergence and structural harmonization while closing developmental gaps before starting a continental currency.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34321,"journal":{"name":"Research in Globalization","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100302"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144661996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this study explores the determinants of income inequality in Somalia from 1990 to 2020, utilizing the Dickey-Fuller test for stationarity and the ARDL approach for analysis. The bounds-testing approach validated the long-run cointegration relationship between economic growth, globalization, foreign direct investment (FDI), institutional quality, unemployment, inflation, and income inequality. The findings indicate that GDP per capita initially increases income inequality, supporting the Kuznets curve hypothesis, but this effect diminishes as the economy matures. Globalization consistently exacerbates income inequality in the long- and short-run. Conversely, FDI and institutional quality are significantly linked to reductions in income inequality only in the short-run. Higher unemployment rates and inflation significantly increase income inequality in Somalia across both time frames. Robustness analysis via KRLS confirms the reliability of the ARDL outcomes. Furthermore, the Granger causality tests reveal bidirectional causality between GDP per capita and income inequality, as well as between globalization and income inequality. At the same time, FDI, institutional quality, unemployment, and inflation exhibit unidirectional influences. Drawing on these findings, the study suggests the adoption of inclusive growth frameworks, sustained investments in education and infrastructure, strategic trade and investment reforms, comprehensive employment programs, and prudent monetary policies to mitigate income inequality in Somalia.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34321,"journal":{"name":"Research in Globalization","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100301"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144670876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings reveal that Perceived usefulness and Ease of use of innovative technologies are the most influential factors in the decision-making process.

Since 1979, in Budva, Montenegro, low-income working-class and forced migrants have confronted settler colonial urban practices—a system wherein established residents leverage local identity and political power to exclude newcomers. Interior settler colonialism constitutes a mode of domination characterised by the aspiration of an established collective to expel immigrants from the city. Rather than merely enduring displacement, these communities transform their marginalisation into resistance through what I term “liminal urbanisation.” Through inhabiting interstitial spaces, physically marginal neighbourhoods challenge the Manichean divisions between “legitimate” residents and “others.” These traced spatial, cultural, and social heterogeneities transcend the dualistic worldview of Manichean urbanisation—a political construct wherein privileged citizens, defined by local identity, economic stability, and political empowerment, assert their authority to govern urban territories at the expense of marginalised groups. Drawing upon multi-sited ethnography, which encompasses qualitative observation in immigrant settlements, neighbourhood mapping, household interviews, archival analysis of planning documents and policy frameworks, and mapping of spatial transformations, I trace how immigrants strategically contested their socio-political invisibility. The concluding analysis contributes to urban theory by demonstrating how liminal urbanisation reveals pathways for decolonising Mediterranean cities through participatory planning, cultural integration initiatives, and structural reforms that recognise immigrants as legitimate city-makers rather than temporary labourers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34321,"journal":{"name":"Research in Globalization","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100296"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144548877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
