Coalition Politics in Lesotho
0R280,00Ever since independence from Britain in 1966, Lesotho has been an experimental laboratory of various governance models. The country has experienced multi-party models, plain dictatorships, one-party dominated models, military juntas and, recently, coalition governments. The advent of coalition politics since 2012 has brought a paradigmatic shift in the entire socio-political landscape in the country. This era has, hitherto, largely remained under-studied. Coalition Politics in Lesotho is the first book-long study specifically dedicated to this significant era in the country’s history. Edited by the two leading politico-legal scholars on Lesotho, the book is a multi-disciplinary study of the implications of coalitions for governance and development.

Covid-19 Management and Responses
0R0,00When the Cape Higher Education Consortium (CHEC, South Africa) decided to develop a book on Covid-19 management and responses, higher education was in the midst of its endeavours to manage how we respond to this threat to ensure academic continuity and integrity. Universities mostly followed their own strategies and initiatives reactively, having little time to be proactive. At this point, most higher education institutions have steadied their approaches to teaching and learning and to managing their university services in response to the threat. There is clear evidence that the world as we knew it and in which our practices had been developed, has changed, and will continue to do so with increasing threats and demands on our higher education systems. This book provides the collaborative approaches from a range of academic practitioners and managers to develop some mental model of the practices we adopted and possible lessons learnt in the process.
