She also manages the ALC/ CSDG women, peace and security working group and state and society research theme and co-manages the leadership and peacebuilding research theme. Eka has researched and published on a range of issues in the fields of development economics and security and development. These include: the role of the state in economic development; agriculture, industrialisation and economic development; state fragility; donor-aid policy; peacebuilding; ECOWAS, peace and security; youth vulnerability and exclusion; security sector reform/transformation; European Union-Africa relations; and women, peace and security. She is most recently co-editor of Women, Peace and Security: Translating Policy into Practice, published in 2011 by Routledge. Eka has participated in a range of knowledge transfer and policy influencing projects including: training of Liberian legislators on security sector reform oversight; contributing to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Conflict Prevention Framework and co-authoring the Women Peace and Security Action Plan; participating in the European Union-Africa Research Network (EARN); and co-authoring a background document for the UK Department for International Development proposed framework for support to security and justice provision to the poor. Eka holds a PhD in Economics from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London. Her thesis is titled “Agriculture the means to an Industrialisation end: Lessons from the Developmental State Paradigm, with reference to Nigeria?” The thesis finds the DSP wanting and puts forward a new framework: the Enhanced Developmental State Paradigm (EDSP) that is designed to engage more fully the experiences of non-industrial developing economies. Eka also holds a BA Economics from the University of Leeds and MSc Economics, with reference to Africa, from SOAS.
