    From litigation to arbitration: promoting international commercial arbitration through Harmonisation in the East African community
    (2009) Nakueira, Sophie; Kruger, Thalia
    Important scholarship argues that adopting modern arbitration laws is a necessary requirement for promoting a region as a suitable venue for holding international commercial arbitration and attracting Foreign Direct Investment. This thesis takes a next step. With its main focus on the East African Community, the thesis advocates the need for placing developing countries' dispute resolution mechanisms in the broader context of economic development. It argues that there is a need for legal reform of the old arbitration legislation in the region. Furthermore, it posits that adopting a uniform statute on international commercial arbitration is essential to achieving the economic goals of the East African Community.

    New architectures of governance : transnational private actors, enrolment strategies and the security governance of sports mega events
    (2014) Nakueira, Sophie; Shearing, Clifford D., 1942-
    The FIFA World Cup has become one of the most sought after sports mega events by many countries in today’s society, as well as one of the most controversial. As I put the finishing touches on this thesis, the FIFA World Cup is taking place in Brazil. As with previous World Cups, the planning stage of the 2014 World Cup has been characterised by protests and considerable criticism, particularly concerned with the expenditures on mega event structures such as stadiums. FIFA, along with host country’s governments, has been a major recipient of criticism. This controversy has prompted many people to focus their gaze on the negative impacts of these events, particularly on disadvantaged populations. Sports mega events will no doubt continue to occupy a crucial space in political and economic debates within host countries. As important as these debates are, they have tended to direct attention away from the governance mechanisms that FIFA deploys in staging World Cups. This thesis seeks to redirect attention to these governance issues.
