“…Our search for this study involved a systematic review of studies of professional doctorates. Similar to earlier studies on meta-analysis by Yerrabati and Hawkes (2014, the review stages used in this study were informed by the guidelines set by three sources: Campbell and Cochrane Collaboration guidelines on systematic reviews in health care and social policy (Higgins and Green, 2011); Centre for Reviews and Dissemination (CRD, 2009); and Evidence for Policy and Practice Information and Coordinating Centre (EPPI-Centre, 2010) at UCL Institute of Education.…”

Alongside the growing numbers of professional doctorate programmes being offered within universities in the past 20 years, there has been a growth in the academic literature associated with various aspects of these research degrees. This systematic literature review draws on the evidence of 193 academic papers to map out the existing academic knowledge about professional doctorates and highlight the gaps that this special issue aims to address. We use a simple vote-counting approach to categorizing the identified papers, considering: the type of professional doctorate studied, the country in focus, the main themes explored, the research methods used and the year of publication. This review highlights the need for academic work in this area to move beyond individual case studies of practice on programmes towards developing principles of practice for professional doctorates as a whole. This special issue hopes to start that academic conversation.

“…; government effectiveness and regulation quality (which measure economic governance); corruption-control and the rule of law (which captures institutional governance). These indicators have been widely used in governance empirical studies in the past ten years (see for example Gani, 2011;Andrés et al, 2015;Yerrabati and Hawkes, 2015;Ajide and Raheem, 2016a, b).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present theoretical and empirical arguments for the role of mobile telephony in promoting good governance in 47 sub-Saharan African countries for the period 2000–2012. Design/methodology/approach The empirical inquiry uses an endogeneity-robust GMM approach with forward orthogonal deviations to analyze the linkage between mobile phone usage and the variation in three broad governance categories – political, economic and institutional. Findings Three key findings are established: first, in terms of individual governance indicators, mobile phones consistently stimulated good governance by the same magnitude, with the exception of the effect on the regulation component of economic governance. Second, when indicators are combined, the effect of mobile phones on general governance is three times higher than that on the institutional governance category. Third, countries with lower levels of governance indicators are catching-up with their counterparts with more advanced dynamics. Originality/value The study makes both theoretical and empirical contributions by highlighting the importance of various combinations of governance indicators and their responsiveness to mobile phone usage.

“…In this light, the article adopts the governance indicators from Kaufmann, Kraay, and Mastruzzi 2010, consistent with a recent stream of literature on unbundling (Andrés and Asongu 2013;Andrés, Asongu, and Amavilah 2015;Gani 2011;Nwokora and Pelizzo 2017;Oluwatobi et al 2015;Nwokora 2016, 2018;Pelizzo et al 2016;yerrabati and Hawkes 2015) and bundling (Asongu 2016;Nwachukwu 2016c, 2017c) governance dynamics.…”

This article contributes to the attendant literature by bundling governance dynamics and focusing on foreign aid instability instead of foreign aid. We assess the role of foreign aid instability on governance dynamics in 53 African countries for the period 1996‐2010. An autoregressive endogeneity‐robust generalized method of moments is employed. Instabilities are measured in terms of variance of the errors and standard deviations. Three main aid indicators are used, namely: total aid, aid from multilateral donors, and bilateral aid. Principal component analysis is used to bundle governance indicators, namely: political governance (voice and accountability and political stability/no violence), economic governance (regulation quality and government effectiveness), institutional governance (rule of law and corruption control), and general governance (political, economic, and institutional governance). Our findings show that foreign aid instability increases governance standards, especially political and general governance. Policy implications are discussed.
