Abstract:

Many experts argue that there needs to be high flexibility in the way in which the economic integration policies are set.

The way in which a developing can choose the right global economic integration for itself is by making comparisons and distinctions between the comparative advantage of the preferences in ...

The idea that slavery poisons socioeconomic development and, therefore, prosperity of enslaved nations has been cited and repeated in academic quarters so often that it has become a platitude, assuming the aura of conventional wisdom. Indeed, whereas slavery augmented the riches of the slave-trading states and supported the labor force of the states on the receiving end of this phenomenon, it had debilitating and far-reaching consequences for the enslaved states. Projecting these simple empirically-grounded assumptions onto the case of Ghana and other West African states, it appears that slavery deprived these societies of their most productive members, leaving a trail of ...

However, it failed to achieve permanent agreements and left different countries dissatisfied and ready to revenge on their adversaries. There was also antagonism between the negotiators due to ...

Housing is one of the fundamental human needs because, in addition to providing shelter and the foundation of families, it also supports financial stability and wealth creation. Proper housing ensures quality living, a form of investment, and access to services like transport, education, health, security, financial, and employment (Thomas et al., 2018). Therefore, it is the center of economic stability. Unfortunately, there is a wide disparity in access to housing, where the whites have access to desired homes, while blacks are segregated to poorly developed settlements. The situation correlates with poverty and social inequality (Solomon et al., 2019). Therefore, it is ...
