...MoreBONGO ADI's academic background spans the humanities and social sciences including, philosophy, international politics, and economics. He is currently a JSPS postdoctoral Fellow in development Economics at the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Tsukuba, Japan. He has also been a fellow of the United Nations University as well as a World Bank Scholar. His research conviction is that sustainable development can only be achieved through a transdisciplinary approach to problems of development. Bongo’s research is focused on how to transform certain anti-developmental institutions and processes in Africa for sustainable development. He is currently engaged in highlighting aspects of these disabling factors through various publications as well as working on a book -"Where the Rain started beating Us" - to provide an insight into the institutional crises of the nation-statist project in Africa. Bongo recently completed his PhD at the University of Tsukuba. His dissertation is on poverty dynamics in Africa. He is inclined to position his research at the intersection between social economics, institutional economics and development. He draws from a range of conceptual and analytical tools in philosophy, social anthropology, politics and of course, economics.
