- Dr. Ireh Iyioha: "Dr. Iyioha introduces a theory of Integrated Governance for health systems to address disparities between health governance regimes and consumer healthcare behaviour. She proposes that Integrated governance, which incorporates non-conventional human and material resources into health systems management, can create a functional health system for reducing inequity in healthcare delivery."

- Dr. Chao Wang: "Dr. Wang's thesis explores whether the western tradition of transparency and rule of law, which are rooted in the value of liberal democracy, can be adapted to local norms of governance in China. He found that the country's public contract law and its implementation may be partially improved to achieve the goal of good governance without fundamental changes to the country's political and judicial system."

- Dr. Mosope Fagbongbe: "Dr. Fagbongbe studied women's engagement with the African regional human rights regime using a feminist Third World Approach to International Law analysis. She demonstrated the significance of adopting an interdependent and contextual understanding to the women's rights to invigorate the rights protected. Dr. Fagbongbe also emphasizes the role of stakeholders to achieve the objectives of the regime." (November 2010)
- Dr. Richard Frimpong Oppong: "Dr. Oppong challenges the view that effective economic integration in Africa is hindered by purely socio-economic, political and infrastructural problems. He argues that radical reforms to community and national laws are needed to bring about the economic integration agenda that is essential for Africa's long-term economic growth." (November 2010)
