Administrative Convenience Or Deliberate Reform? The Impacts Of The Colonial Judicial Legacy Of The Pre-Colonial Justice System In South-Western Nigeria, Adewale Adekunle Adeyeye

LLM Theses

In pre-colonial times, the ethnic groups that independently existed in the territory now called Nigeria had organized systems of government. However, the sweeping force of nineteenth-century colonialism erased most of these pre-colonial governments’ institutions and replaced them with the British system. Notably, in South-Western Nigeria (Yorubaland), historical evidence revealed the existence of a constitutional monarchy with organized branches of government. Especially, the pre-colonial judicial branch/justice system of the Yoruba monarchy was radically altered by colonialism. Using the interdisciplinary methodology, this research answered questions related to the structures and procedures of the pre-colonial justice system in South-Western Nigeria and how it …

Socio-Cultural Dimension Of Innovation In Islamic Economics: A Comparative Analysis Of Top Innovative Countries And Muslim Countries, Husnu Tekin, Omer Faruk Tekdogan

Journal of King Abdulaziz University: Islamic Economics

In this study, we employ sub-Hofstede indexes and Global Innovation Index (GII) to demonstrate the socio-cultural dimension of innovation in Muslim countries by comparing it with top GII countries. Even though our comparative analysis points out that culture more or less matters in terms of innovation performance of countries, it seems that sub-Hofstede indexes are not sufficient alone to reveal the innovation performance of economies. On the other hand, even though Islam encourages innovative activities for Muslims, most of the Muslim countries have relatively lower R&D expenditures per capita compared to the top GII countries. Muslim countries with several exceptions …
