“…Due to the cross sectional nature of the dataset, the OLS estimation technique with heteroskedastic consistent standard error is utilized for the study. The adoption of the OLS is in line with extant literature such as Asongu, Uduji and Okolo‐Obasi (2019), Kodila‐Tedika and Asongu (2015). In line with the objective of the study, the OLS regression is specified such that:

p_{i} = δ_{1} + δ_{2} d_{i} + δ_{3} m_{i} + δ_{4} g_{i} + δ_{5} X_{i} + ε_{i}

here, p i represents peace index, d i is democracy index, m i is military expenditure (% of GDP), g i represents six governance indicators which includes the control of corruption, government effectiveness, political stability, rule of law, regulatory quality and general governance derived from the principal component analysis.…”

Peace has been deemed paramount to socioeconomic progress and economic development across nations. It is for this reason nations strive to improve the peaceful coexistence of citizens. This study investigates the effect of democracy, governance and militarisation on peace in 43 African countries for the year 2018 in a cross sectional framework. The ordinary least square (OLS), the tobit regression and the quantile regression (QR) where employed as estimation strategies. The empirical result firstly reveal that democracy increases peace in Africa, particularly in countries where the initial level of peace is at its highest level. Secondly, militarisation of Africa reduces peace in the region only in countries where the initial level of peace is at its highest level. Thirdly, the influence of governance on peace in Africa depends majorly on the measure of governance utilized. The control of corruption, government effectiveness and regulatory quality increases peace where the initial level of peace is at its lowest level. Political stability increases peace across the entire quantiles utilized while rule of law increases peace in countries where the initial level of peace is low. In conclusion, governance in general increases peace in the countries where initial level of peace is very low. Policy recommendations based on these findings are discussed.

This article examines the role of cognitive ability or intelligence on slave exports from Africa. We test a hypothesis that countries which were endowed with higher levels of cognitive ability were more likely to experience lower levels of slave exports from Africa probably due to comparatively better capacities to organize, co-operate, oversee and confront slave traders. The investigated hypothesis is valid from alternative specifications involving varying conditioning information sets. The findings are also robust to the control of outliers. JEL: I20, I29, N30

“…Therefore, business organizations began looking for new mechanisms to be used in global competition as a prerequisite to ensure survival in the business world. In light of these local, regional and international challenges, human capital has been considered as a necessary element to help business organizations to be able to handle these challenges (Oasis, 2015). Human capital encompasses all individuals who have the knowledge and organizational capabilities that enable them to create new ideas and improve the old ones in order to facilitate the expansion of the organization's market share .This would insure consolidation of the organization's strengths, eliminate its weaknesses and boost its competitive advantage.…”

The current situation facing business organizations is characterized by diverse work environments with continuous change and development. Todays organizations seek to keep pace with this continuous development and operate to maintain their current business through the ability to effectively respond to change, and to create competitive advantage based on the existence of qualified human capital that contribute to the creation of organizational sustainability in the business sector. Talented human capital, with special skills, has the potential to create confidence and integration among the staff and top management, leading to organizational growth and continuation (Kurucz, 2013). The emergence of a set of challenges in the knowledge economy has had a clear reflection on business organizations which have begun to search for new mechanisms to compete and insure their existence in the business world. Hence, the importance of the concept of competitive advantage, based on human capital, as a necessary requirement to deal with the challenges faced by local, regional or international organizations (Global Institute, 2011). Where competitive advantage based on human capital is the main generator of new ideas, development of old ideas, and contribution to aid in organizational abilities to expand their current market share as well as maximizing value. Competitive advantage based on talented human capital allows organizations to be able to seize new opportunities and achieve permanence and future continuity (Thomas, 2014). This study aimed to look at the impact of competitive advantage through intellectual capital investment as one of the elements in the creation of organizational sustainability in the Jordanian Telecommunications Companies sector. Simple and Multiple regression was used for data analysis and testing the hypotheses of this research .This study has reached a set of results that previous studies reinforced in this area such as: Competitive advantage based on a distinct capital is the optimum method that should be used in telecommunications companies since it contributes to the optimal investment of human capital. This leads to optimum organizational sustainability for companies in various fields and also contributes to the achievement of a company's mission and vision of the future.
