companies entering these markets are driven by conspicuous initial financial aid that lowers costs and increases profits. For example, the World Bank and other organizations, including private ones, are expanding charity programs in an effort to reduce poverty conditions. InFig. 13.9, Nigeria’s perf...
In an analysis relating regional boundaries to patterns of international interac- tions, the DHL Global Connectedness Index regions outperformed five other region classification schemes. See Pankaj Ghemawat and Steven A. Altman, "Geographic Distance and Regionalization," Chapter 10 in Pankaj Ghemawat, ...
the Southern Ocean gives Africa is “V” shape. To the North, the Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea define its boundaries. Africa is one of the few continents that is mostly defined simply by the bodies of water which surround
To gain a deeper insight into the mechanisms that may be associated with change, we exploit the heterogeneity across countries in their exposure to COVID-19 and we collected data on three pathways through which we conjecture that COVID-19 pandemics may shape norms. Two of these are the respon...
For illustrative purposes, subnational unit boundaries are shown only in the insets and the colour ranges used to represent the flows are country-specific (refer to Supplementary Fig. 1 for additional close-up views of internal migration flows in Africa). population in each unit (with the ...

The boundaries that were set in the conference still make up most of the national boundaries in Africa today. Portugal was granted control over Mozambique; however it did not have the economic or military resources to control the vast territory. In 1891 it granted The Mozambique Company (...
Mapping with a continuous model allows us to incorporate geolocated data and covariates and produce gridded cell-level estimates that can be aggregated to intervention- or policy-relevant geographical areas as boundaries change over time. We present estimates at this local grid cell-level and ...
Our data could indicate that crossing vast evolutionary boundaries happen more in Sub-Saharan Africa. This should be confirmed with a different approach that can make more definitive taxonomic classifications though. Horizontal transfer of ARGs is much more likely to occur between phylogenetically closely...
