Book Synopsis Africa-Europe Relationships by : Raffaele Marchetti
Download or read book Africa-Europe Relationships written by Raffaele Marchetti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-04 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationships between Africa and Europe are of high strategic importance. This volume studies the ongoing dynamics between the two continents by adopting a pluralist understanding of international relations which encompasses non-state actors as well as states. Going beyond pure intergovernmentalism, this focus of this book is on activists, business people, religious believers, local politicians as well as transnational networks and by hybrid coalitions. Such plurality of socio-economic and political interactions underpinning the relationship between Africa and Europe is underexamined and yet of great importance. The text identifies new patterns of cooperation and recurrent obstacles in the African-European multistakeholder dynamics, thus opening the way for a more accurate understanding of the future relationship between Africa and Europe. This book brings African and European reflections together, on an equal standing, in order to achieve a true dialogue among civilizations. This book is aimed at all those who are interested in African-European relationships, including students and researchers, as well as activists, business people, civil servant and functionaries at local and national level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African agriculture is currently at a crossroads, at which persistent food shortages are compounded by threats from climate change. But, as this book argues, Africa can feed itself in a generation and can help contribute to global food security. To achieve this Africa has to define agriculture as a force in economic growth by advancing scientific and technological research, investing in infrastructure, fostering higher technical training, and creating regional markets.
Book Synopsis 中欧非三方合作 China-Europe-Africa Trilateral Cooperation: A Feasibility Study by : 周瑾艳著
Download or read book 中欧非三方合作 China-Europe-Africa Trilateral Cooperation: A Feasibility Study written by 周瑾艳著 and published by BEIJING BOOK CO. INC.. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 三方合作是在传统的南北合作和南南合作基础上的创新合作模式，是沟通南南合作和南北合作的桥梁。此报告主要探讨中国、欧洲和非洲在国际发展合作（又称发展援助）领域的三方合作。三方合作早由欧洲援助国在2006年中非合作论坛北京峰会后提出，主要目的是将中国纳入欧美主导的国际体系，中国不得不被动应对压力。2014年以后，随着国际形势的变化，中国参与三方合作的政策空间发生了重大变化，中国由被动应对转变为积极参与，并主动提出“拓展第三方市场合作”的中国方案，中国在国际舞台和非洲事务上变得更加积极自信，这为中欧非的三方合作带来新的契机。中欧非三方合作经历了政府和政策层面的激辩、相对沉寂和重回政策制定者视野几个阶段。面对美国带来的逆全球化潮流和全球不确定局面，中欧非三方合作对中美和欧美关系博弈具有权重和砝码作用。中国和欧洲在非洲没有战略性的利益冲突，双方对非具体政策的分歧在缩小，且均有加强对非事务合作的意愿。此报告旨在介绍三方合作在政策实践层面的新进展，并通过三个具体的国别和行业案例（中英非安全合作、中德非职业教育合作、中欧非医疗合作）研讨三方合作面临的机遇和挑战，以弥补目前三方合作系统性研究的不足并提出政策建议。三方合作应摒弃意识形态之争，抓住新契机，从战略对接到具体政策合作层递推进，推动具体项目落地，从减贫和农业、公共卫生等争议较小、意义重大的领域开始，由易而难，循序渐进。

Book Synopsis From Rivalry to Partnership? by : Gordon Cumming
Download or read book From Rivalry to Partnership? written by Gordon Cumming and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'From Rivalry to Partnership' is the first to study a potentially valuable way forward in tackling the challenges of Africa, namely bilateral partnerships. The book evaluates the significance and strength of the emerging Anglo-French partnership and explores how far this and other forms of 'bilateral' and 'bi-multi' cooperation might serve as a valuable alternative or complement to traditional unilateral and multilateral approaches in Africa. Practitioners, established academic experts as well emerging scholars in the field bring to bear a sophisticated synthesis of neoclassical realism and 'discursive institutionalism' and findings from over 100 research interviews to explore how joint approaches and bilateral partnerships have been used to address the challenges of Africa. In developing this argument, the editors explore: * Anglo-French cooperation in Africa * other bilateral partnerships in Africa, notably the Nordic states and the US * the Africa-EU Strategic Partnership * the China-Africa partnership and its implications for the EU-Africa partnership and for leading European states Written in a clear and accessible style, 'From Rivalry to Partnership' offers a much needed fresh insight into whether and how bilateral partnerships make a real difference to people's lives on the African continent.'
Book Synopsis African Researchers and Decision-makers. Building Synergy for Development by : Abdoulaye Ndiaye
Download or read book African Researchers and Decision-makers. Building Synergy for Development written by Abdoulaye Ndiaye and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and its partners, the link between research and policy is of paramount importance in their goal to improve social, economic and environmental conditions in developing countries. The nature of the collaboration between researchers and decision-makers, however, is complex, multifaceted and often difficult to implement. Moreover, research is very often designed and carried out without regard for its potential users or beneficiaries. How should research agendas be developed? What is the role of the private sector in developing research? Which actors are involved in knowledge production and utilization? How can the dialogue between researchers and decision-makers be improved? This short and accessible book records the reflections, opinions and recommendations which emerged from six national workshops organised between 2004 and 2007 in West and Central Africa on the synergy between researchers and decision-makers. Abdoulaye Ndiaye is a Senegalese expert and international consultant in development. He edited this book as a member and on behalf of the IDRC Council of Regional Advisors for West and Central Africa which organized the series of workshops throughout the sub-region.
Book Synopsis Africa and the European Union by : J. Mangala
Download or read book Africa and the European Union written by J. Mangala and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adoption of the Joint Africa-EU Strategy (JAES) in 2007 was a watershed moment in Africa-EU relations, one that sought to 'reinvent' a historical relationship to meet the challenges posed by complex interdependencies, expanding globalization, and growing competition, all framed by the gradual dislocation of the West as the epicenter of world politics. Five years into its implementation, this book offers a thorough and first comprehensive investigation of the JAES, the most advanced form of interregionalism seen to date.
Book Synopsis Transatlantic Science and Technology by : Sabine E. Herlitschka
Download or read book Transatlantic Science and Technology written by Sabine E. Herlitschka and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-09 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major societal challenges of a global nature include climate change, efficient energy supply, environmental sustainability, and health care. Science & Technology Policy (S&T) policy is an essential contributor to dealing with these challenges; moreover, international cooperation and collaboration in S&T is vital to tackling these issues, since no single nation or even region is able to respond adequately by itself. Within this context, this book addresses recent developments in transatlantic S&T cooperation between the European Union and the United States. The EU-U.S. relationship dates back to the 1950s, with regular EU-U.S. Summits to assess and develop transatlantic cooperation. In the area of S&T, the EU and U.S. concluded an S&T Cooperation Agreement in 1998, renewed it in 2004, and extended it for another five years in July 2009. The research underlying this study is based on interviews with key stakeholders in the field, with an emphasis on: • potential new opportunities and new mechanisms for increased transatlantic EU – U.S. S&T cooperation under current conditions • examples of coordinated “science diplomacy” efforts • options for the development of effective joint efforts. While the project is focused on European-U.S. relationships, it also addresses issues of international S&T cooperation involving other regions, including Africa and Asia. The author highlights the urgency of S&T cooperation to address global issues, and the evolving roles of government, universities and research centers, and industry, in promoting successful strategies and programs.
