Why should Tanzania engulf its natural wealth? a history worth attention and lessons learnt from economic hurdles
No full textResearch articleThis is a review paper on recent progress in Tanzania‟s natural resources management hurdles towards
their full utilization for economic development. The paper summarizes how borrowed legal framework
has led astray economic flourishment in the natural resource sector in Tanzania. It shows tactful
international web-pin Tanzania had entered into and from which the rescue would have been impossible
if the Tanzania‟s President, Hon. John Joseph Pombe Magufuli (JPM) wouldn‟t have acted to end the
overdue misery of the nation. Feeble legal framework in natural resources and investment laws thereon
have fore-fronted in this paper as the underlying cause for failures to manage Tanzania‟s natural
resources. In particular, Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) is pointed to be one of the drivers through
which Tanzania was trapped and exploited-a loop created by foreign adopted legal framework. The
paper reckons on Tanzania‟s inability to out-way the tactics within which its natural resource and
investment laws had tumbled. It commends enactment of new natural resource laws and explains hopes
availed by the new laws

Legal reflection on spurring wildlife investments whilst embracing wild animals conservation in Tanzania
No full textResearch articleTanzania is diversifying wildlife investments. The Special Wildlife
Investment Concession Area, (the SWICA) is set aside. The regulations
to achieve the purpose are in place.The regulations enlighten on the
procedures of carrying out investments within the SWICA. This paper
reviewson this new investment scheme;whether itwill spare the
ecosystem, specifically, the safety and survival of wild animals.The
invited investments activities connote disturbance on the lives of wild
animals. This paper observes that, the cumulative promulgation of the
regulations threatens the life of wild animals. The apprehension of
ecosystem disturbances in the SWICA is too wide to connote probable
security on the lives of wild animals. Moreover, the avenues for some
actors to excises “their wisdom,” aside of the regulations may invite
unnecessary difficulties between the investors and the authority. Lastly,
wild animals are likely to suffer a significant prejudice if investments in
the SWICAs get through
Harnessing the Potentials of Free, Prior and Informed Consent in Tanzanian Legislation for Natural Resources Governance
Get PDFFree, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) is a necessary peace and harmony vessel in natural resource governance as it empowers communities to defend their resource rights in all resource-rich countries. Tanzania is a renowned, natural resource-rich country; hence, the exploitation of its natural resources is inevitable. The natural resource exploitation causes negative impacts on the lives of the people in which the resource exploitation projects are located. Embarking on FPIC in natural resource governance schemes is a dual gateway where communities safeguard their rights in respect of natural resources and investors get assured of a Social Licence to Operate (SLO). This paper examines the prevalence of FPIC rights internationally and whether internationally recognised FPIC can be ascertained and implemented in Tanzania to enable Project Affected People(s) (PAPs) to either “give” or “withhold” consent in pursuit of resource exploitation-associated rights. Doctrinal legal research methodology was employed to examine FPIC insights internationally and domestically, and to assess whether Tanzania can learn through the international FPIC platform in legislating for FPIC domestically. International and Tanzanian legal instruments were examined and pegged to determine the extent to which FPIC prevails in Tanzania. Content analysis and syllogism were used to analyse the contents. The results reveal that FPIC is internationally established and honoured. However, Tanzanian laws only gesture some FPIC principles; and the said FPIC gestures are not enshrined in any independent law. FPIC principles in Tanzania are just superficially and indirectly inferred in various law(s) related to natural resources. This paper recommends explicit legislated FPIC rights in Tanzania as they enhance good governance in the natural resource sector
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
