African Media and Democratization : Public Opinion, Ownership and Rule of Law
At a time when many African regimes are transitioning from authoritarian states to democratization, this book offers a timely assessment of the role of media in this process in Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA).With the exception of South Africa, this issue has been understudied in the region. Incorporating extensive public opinion research in eight countries from over 3,000 citizens, discussions from focus groups, and content analyses of media coverage, the book reveals public attitudes on highly controversial political and societal issues that are considered deadly taboo topics in Africa: public attitudes that explain contemporary waves of national revolutions. While the issues are empirically discussed in a studious, fair and reasoned manner, the book seeks to challenge ESA governments to protect free speech, political expression, and unfettered media discourse with the hope of empowering Africans to challenge the status quo. The theoretical underpinnings and empirical analyses are contextualized from the author's firsthand knowledge as a former award-winning international journalist, war correspondent, and political talk-show host in East Africa.Throughout, the material is presented in a straightforward and accessible style. Overall, the book offers an important resource for students, media professionals or advocates, and scholars interested in the cutting-edge debates surrounding the challenges facing contemporary media, third world politics, and democratization.It offers ideas about how the media can mobilize the public to make informed political choices that strengthen and foster good governance and the rule of law in Africa's revolutionary transition to democratic rule.

Which federal states have sole decision-making authority?
In a federal system like the United States, federal states that have sole decision-making authority are often referred to as "unitary states." In these states, the central government holds all decision-making power and delegates limited authority to lower levels of government. Examples of unitary states include France, Japan, and the United Kingdom, where the central government has the final say on most policy matters. This centralized system contrasts with federal states like the U.S. and Germany, where power is shared between the central government and individual states or regions.

How can citizens' councils be equipped with political decision-making authority?
Citizens' councils can be equipped with political decision-making authority by implementing a system of direct democracy, where citizens have the power to directly participate in decision-making processes. This can be achieved through mechanisms such as citizen initiatives, referendums, and participatory budgeting, which allow citizens to propose, vote on, and influence policy decisions. Additionally, citizens' councils can be given formal recognition and support from government institutions, ensuring that their recommendations and decisions are taken into consideration in the political decision-making process. Furthermore, providing citizens' councils with access to resources, information, and expertise can help to enhance their capacity to make informed and effective decisions.

What is your opinion on ownership claims in relationships?
I believe that ownership claims in relationships can be harmful and counterproductive. Relationships should be based on mutual respect, trust, and equality, rather than possessiveness or control. Each individual in a relationship should be able to maintain their autonomy and independence while also fostering a strong connection with their partner. It's important to communicate openly and honestly with each other to ensure a healthy and balanced dynamic.

Leadership and Strategic Management : Decision-Making in Times of Change
Managers are facing unprecedented complexity, volatility, and ambiguity, quickly adapting their decision-making, leadership, vision, and strategies.Megatrends and forces of change have profound implications for business models, processes, and organizational structures, calling into question current paradigms and designing future change.Additionally, unprecedented disruptions, unforecastable in their nature, have increased the need for resilience and strategic flexibility. The book aims at tackling the potential interrelations among environmental transformations, strategic decisions, and leadership to better understand the role of external and internal factors on the effectiveness of managers.The book defines “change”: its extent, nature, and characteristics.Then, it focuses on decision-making, the role of potential cognitive biases, and how the interaction with the perception of determined environmental events affects the way in which decision-makers decide to implement specific strategies.Finally, in the light of waves of strategic change, it reviews theories on leadership and transformation by looking at the role and traits of leaders. Since environmental transformations have the potential to “disrupt” not only strategies but also decision-making processes and leadership, the book provides a review on the issue and propose an integrative framework which can be useful for both scholars and managers, especially in the fields of decision-making and strategy.
