We thank Palgrave Macmillan for permission to draw from our published study in presenting the highlights of our work. We also thank our two colleagues and co-authors for their agreement. Our study also includes three African cases, the analysis of which we found very helpful to our conclusions in this article. We ask the reader to consult our original study for these results, as well as other works cited in the bibliography.
