  By 2050, Africa's population is projected to reach approximately 2.5 billion people. By the end of the 21st century, the African continent will account for 40.6 per cent of the world's working age population, underscoring an urgent need to create at least 20 million new jobs annually. These demographic transformations present both opportunities and challenges for EU-Africa cooperation under both the Mattei Plan and Global Gateway frameworks. For Africa in particular, the digital sector has the potential to drive innovation, spur economic growth, empower rural communities, foster continental integration and accelerate progress towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2063. At the same time, Africa's digital transformation is sparking discussion over asymmetric power relations that mirror past historical injustices. With majority of digital infrastructure, platforms and services originating either in China, North America and to a lesser extent Western Europe, questions around technological dependency, lack of transparency, data sovereignty and the risks of perpetuating "digital colonialism" have come to the fore. The EU-Africa digital partnership under Mattei Plan and Global Gateway frameworks can serve as catalysts for strengthening African agency by enhancing digital governance frameworks, investing in targeted capacity-building programmes and mobilising resources to bridge infrastructure and financing gaps.
  This edited volume aims to provide rigorous analysis of the main challenges and opportunities for digital cooperation and partnership between the EU and Africa through two key European policy instruments, the EU Global Gateway and Italy's Mattei Plan. The volume situations EU-Africa digital partnership within a broader digital landscape increasingly being shaped by geopolitical and geo-economic rivalry among global powers enabling informed analysis of the EU-Africa partnership on the global geopolitical chessboard. The analysis focuses on four macro-themes: (i) digital governance frameworks and policy, (ii) technological control and data sovereignty, (iii) digital infrastructure gaps, and (iv) opportunities and challenges for Italy-EU-Africa digital partnership going into the future. Furthermore, the book delves into the current state of global digital landscape from the perspectives of both Africans and Europeans and contains nuanced and targeted recommendations for strengthening the EU-Africa digital partnership.

  Ejaculate Responsibly - A Whole...

  Gabrielle Stanley Blair

  In Ejaculate Responsibly, Gabrielle Blair offers a provocative reframing of the abortion issue in post-Roe America. In a series of 28 brief arguments, she deftly makes the case for moving the abortion debate away from controlling and legislating women’s bodies and instead directs the focus on men’s lack of accountability in preventing unwanted pregnancies.  Highly readable, accessible, funny, and unflinching, Blair builds her argument by walking readers through the basics of fertility (men are 50 times more fertile than women), the unfair burden placed on women when it comes to preventing pregnancy (90% of the birth control market is for women), the wrongheaded stigmas around birth control for men (condoms make sex less pleasurable, vasectomies are scary and emasculating), and the counterintuitive reality that men, who are fertile 100% of the time, take little to no responsibility for preventing pregnancy.  The result is a compelling and convincing case for placing the responsibility—and burden—of preventing unwanted pregnancies away from women and onto men.

  Republic and Empire - Crisis...

  A fresh look at the American Revolution as a major global event At the time of the American Revolution (1765–83), the British Empire had colonies in India, Africa, the Caribbean, the Pacific, Canada, Ireland, and Gibraltar. The thirteen rebellious American colonies accounted for half of the total number of provinces in the British world in 1776. What of the loyal half? Why did some of Britain's subjects feel so aggrieved that they wanted to establish a new system of government, while others did not rebel? In this authoritative history, Trevor Burnard and Andrew Jackson O'Shaughnessy show that understanding the long-term causes of the American Revolution requires a global view. As much as it was an event in the history of the United States, the American Revolution was an imperial event produced by the upheavals of managing a far-flung set of imperial possessions during a turbulent period of reform. By looking beyond the familiar borders of the Revolution and considering colonies that did not rebel—Quebec, Nova Scotia, Bermuda, India, the British Caribbean, Senegal, and Ireland—Burnard and O'Shaughnessy go beyond the republican, liberal, and democratic aspects of the emerging American nation, providing a broader history that transcends what we think we know about the Revolution.
