Fiscal Policy Uncertainty and its Impact on Business Stability in Emerging Market Economies
Full text linkThis study critically examines the impact of fiscal policies uncertainty on businesses in emerging market economies, with Nigeria as a focal point. Given the volatile nature of fiscal policies in such economies, this research aims to provide both quantitative and qualitative evidence on how policy inconsistency affects key economic variables, including exchange and interest rates, trade and investment, imports and exports, and taxation. These disruptions, in turn, shape the operational landscape for businesses across diverse sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture, services, oil and gas, and small and medium-sized enterprises. Utilising a mixed- methods approach, this study integrates empirical data analysis with insights from policy reviews to establish a nuanced understanding of the relationship between fiscal instability and business performance. Findings reveal that inconsistent fiscal policies create an unpredictable business climate, deterring investment, stiffening growth, and undermining job creation, ultimately weakening economic resilience. These results align with existing scholarly perspectives and World Bank reports that emphasise the critical role of stable and business-friendly policies in fostering economic expansion, job creation, and wealth distribution. The practical implications underscore the urgent need for policy coherence to enhance business confidence, drive sustainable economic growth, and improve government revenue through stable taxation frameworks. By offering a comprehensive analysis of fiscal policy volatility, this study contributes original insights into how emerging economies can navigate policy instability to create a more conducive environment for businesses, thereby reinforcing economic development strategies
Racism in Academia and Research Publishing: Unveiling the Hidden Struggles of African Researchers
Full text linkThis paper examines the longstanding and underreported systemic and, in fact, pervasive forms of racism in academia and intellectual literature with specific attention to African scholars and African institutions and epistemological norms. By applying Critical Race Theory, Postcolonial Theory, and the concept of Epistemic Injustice, we demonstrate how seemingly neutral processes still reinforce exclusion. The study design comprises a systematic narrative review from 2010 to 2025, a theory-based qualitative synthesis and key-informant interviews (KIIs). We included n:70 studies in the qualitative synthesis and conducted n:20 key informant interviews (KIIs). We operationalise Critical Race Theory, Post-Colonial Theory, and Epistemic Injustice using various mechanisms and align each of them with editorial and funding reforms that can be implemented. The findings are that (i) editorial gatekeeping is often supported by coded decisions, which marginalise African expertise and subject matter, including claims of insufficient international relevance; (ii) linguistic policing and waiver opacity have varying impacts on unfunded Africa-based authors; (iii) the structure of authorship in international collaborations and the article-processing-charge (APC) regime, often constrain conceptualisation and senior authorship, by keeping Africa-based scholars as data-collectors. We recommend: (a) a conceptual framework based on linking colonial legacy to modern metric bureaucracy and editorial power; (b) introductions of strictly operationalised theoretical views to the analysis of particular publishing mechanisms; and (c) a theory-consistent reform agenda, comprising redistributive editorial authority, multilingual review, imposition of an authorship equity, and metric pluralism, and challenges confronting the implementation of suggested solutions. We conclude that decolonising scholarly publishing requires changes not only among stakeholders but also in the meaning and administration of validity, relevance, and rigour
