Armel Brice Adanhounme, a Banting postdoctoral fellow at 91社区鈥檚 Faculty of Law and associate researcher at the Interuniversity Research Centre on Globalization and Work (CRIMT), was recently聽 shortlisted for this year's Kari Polanyi-Levitt Prize for his paper, 鈥淎ssessing Chinese Investments in sub-Saharan African Countries:聽An Institutional Perspective.鈥�
Dr. Adanhounme鈥檚 current research explores the juridical origins of exclusion at work and the socio-legal challenges of Chinese foreign direct investment in sub-Saharan African countries. He researches development and globalization in the context of both Northern liberal and Southern postcolonial economies, in particular Canada and Ghana, investigating the ways in which citizenship and governance are refracted through and influenced by the relationship between culture, law, and norms in workplace relations.

The Prize includes $1000 cash, a travel grant to assist in travel to present the essay, and consideration of the essay for publication in the Canadian Journal of Development Studies.
