However, in 2004 George Bush, the incoming US president, pushed the AGOA mandate to 2015. Before the AGOA order could expire, its mandate was again extended to 2025 by then US president Barack Obama. This study argues that the lofty ambitions inscribed in the design of AGOA seem not to have lived up to their billing. The study finds that the theoretical win-win proposition that was envisioned does not appear to have yielded the desired economic results for sub-Saharan states mainly because the enterprise is likely a one-sided trade deal in favour of the US. Data for this study was gathered from qualitative and quantitative sources. The study concludes that given the pattern of the US engagements with sub-Saharan Africa, which seems only focused on advancing US national interests, the sub-Saharan region needs to devise alternative trade partnerships if its economy is to grow. The study recommends that sub-Saharan Africa focuses on intra-Africa trade. Alternatively, it should strengthen development cooperation with emerging markets such as the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa).","PeriodicalId":41966,"journal":{"name":"Africa Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84052185","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}

And the full participatory approach of the islanders depends on the compatibility of the desired benefits with the perceived benefits, in line with the scope of social change theory. In this respect, this study was conducted in the Comoros, where no research on sustainable tourism has been carried out before although the attractive physical environment draws a significant number of visitors. The study was conducted with multiple research methods. First, a document review of visitor data was done to determine the tourism potential of the Comoros. Then, survey statements were compiled from the relevant literature and 504 local people were surveyed to measure their perception of sustainable tourism. Explanatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, independent t-test and variance analysis were performed in accordance with the research problematic regarding the data obtained. The analysis results show that all dimensions are interrelated and that the environmental dimension is the most important. While there was no significant difference in age and gender characteristics and perceptions of sustainable tourism, it was determined that there was a significant difference in monthly income, education level, city of residence (island) working status sector of employment and marital status of the participants and their perceptions.","PeriodicalId":41966,"journal":{"name":"Africa Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72494285","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}

Thus, the purpose is to investigate whether China’s development assistance has shaped the desired outcome—Nigerian public support of China—and to explore the media’s role in this process. How effective are China’s economic and infrastructural investments as strategies for influencing a positive public image in Nigeria? How can visibility—the amount of media coverage and exposure—of China’s investments in Nigeria shape favourable Nigerian public support? Utilising a range of datasets and a longitudinal analysis, I find that Chinese investments may improve Nigeria’s economic growth and people’s standard of living, but are insufficient to build a positive public image of China. However, China could create a long-lasting favourable public image from its investments if the programmes were supported with effective media representation that made them more visible through the public’s news sources. I employed a qualitative research technique and rested the theoretical argument on mediated public diplomacy.","PeriodicalId":41966,"journal":{"name":"Africa Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72427396","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 study investigated how macroeconomic policies and FDI inflows have impacted on the manufacturing sector in Nigeria. The Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) unit root test was adopted to determine the stationary properties of the data, and the order of integration of the variables was tested using the Johansen cointegration test. The impact and interactions of macroeconomic policies on the manufacturing sector are less understood and shallow in the extant literature. The government’s macroeconomic policies encourage FDI in the communications and oil sector with a negative impact on the manufacturing sector. This is implicated in inadequate capital investments and technological diffusion. Nonetheless, the study shifts the paradigm in popular arguments that FDI is imperialistic, hence universally exploitative, to a new hypothesis that the failure of the manufacturing sector to tap into FDI and yield desirable growth output is linked to less viable globally competitive macroeconomic policy frameworks in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that the Nigerian government should review its macroeconomic policies, particularly the monetary and exchange rate, and draw up proactive human capital development plans that can directly contribute to the development of the productive capacity of the country’s population.","PeriodicalId":41966,"journal":{"name":"Africa Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91213091","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}
