Book Synopsis Nation-states and the challenges of regional integration in West Africa by : Kwame A. Ninsin
Download or read book Nation-states and the challenges of regional integration in West Africa written by Kwame A. Ninsin and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2009 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Treaty establishing the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) was signed in 1975, several protocole have been adopted providing the legal and institutional framework for implementing the integration of the West African sub-region. Ail social and political stakeholders agree that regional integration is a major challenge for development in West Africa. Yet the regional integration process has been affected by many delays, even failures. Member states have pursued a seemingly contradictory dual objective: build a Nation-state within colonial Borders and achieve regional integration to fight against under-development. Can national planning priorities be reconciled with the demands and objectives of regional integration processes in West Africa ? Since 2005, under the auspices of the Management of Social Transformations (MOST) Programme initiative, the Social and Human Sciences Sector of UNESCO has organized a series of national seminars on West African regional integration in the ECOWAS region. Four seminars have so far been organized in Senegal, Mali, Benin and Ghana. This anthology publishes papers presented at Ghana's national seminar on "Nation-states and the Challenge of Regional Integration in West Africa: the Case of Ghana", held in Accra from 8 to 9 November 2005. The contributors suggest that Ghana's reluctance to relinquish its sovereignty stemmed from a lack of commitment in the first 20 years of ECOWAS' existence and preoccupation with its own security and survival against internai and externat threats. The state has currently demonstrated renewed commit-ment by establishing a Ministry of Regional Cooperation and the New Agenda for Africa's Development (NEPAD) to coordinate and manage the sub-regional integration programme. In spite of positive developments, results have been disappointing. The new ministry remains isolated and is constrained by limited resources in finance and manpower. Its approach to integration issues has been elitist and technocratic, concentrating on format trade and ignoring the importance of the informai trade that has been the traditional means of popular participation in the integration of West African economies. Borderland communities with economic and social ties continue to engage in exchanges across political boundaries in defiance of national and state security concerns. Empowerment of Ghanaians involved in small-scale, informa] cross-border trade (in majority, women) "would not only increase the levels of social and economic integration, but would make the benefits of integration available to large sections of the population".
Book Synopsis Mapping Out the Research-policy Matrix by : Germán Solinís
Download or read book Mapping Out the Research-policy Matrix written by Germán Solinís and published by UNESCO. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social science research provides not only abstract, conceptual knowledge about society but also concrete, instrumental knowledge. It enables us to take action to recompose the world we live in. However, this book rejects narrow and simplistic conceptions of research use and its impact on policy-making, to embrace a more complex approach to seeing and dealing with social science. In the paradigm of "evidence-based policy", "evidence" is understood in its broad sense as information that helps form policies. Nonetheless, within current practices and discourse, it is not clear what "information" is, what is really meant by "evidence", and how it can be obtained objectively. The book draws on papers presented at the International Forum on the Social Science-Policy Nexus, where experts examined current practices and problems in areas such as social policy, migration, urban policies and globalisation. The Forum set a precedent in terms of dialogue between researchers and policy-makers. The authors contribute to enriching and elucidating the most common conceptualisations of the research-policy nexus. They represent a rich diversity of views, although most agree that an effective strategy to enhance social science-policy linkages should be underpinned by a theoretical and methodological framework that takes into account the interplay of different social actors.
Book Synopsis Historical Dictionary of Niger by : Rahmane Idrissa
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Niger written by Rahmane Idrissa and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-02-26 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Niger is a crossroad, the gate to the outside for West Africans, and the port of entry into West Africa for cross-Saharan tidings and travelers. It remained for centuries the largely uncontrolled periphery of the large empires of the western Sudan and the market cities of the central Sudan. In these two ways, the land forged a very distinctive identity, a fluid blend of diverse communities which make up a nation of marginal cosmopolitans – a paradox illuminated in this book. This fifth edition of Historical Dictionary of Niger contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Niger.

Download or read book Maîtrise de l'espace et développement en Afrique written by and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2010 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis les années 1960, suite à la construction progressive de l'Union Européenne et, bien après, à l'émergence du phénomène de la mondialisation, les dimensions spatiales de développement sont devenues multiples. Aux anciens concepts comme le pays, la région, le territoire national... sont venus s'ajouter des espaces d'intégration régionale et de la mondialisation. De même, la démocratisation de l'Etat et de la société, amorcée dans la plupart des pays africains depuis 1990, a entraîné la promotion de tous petits espaces de commandement issus de la décentralisation. Désormais, les espaces de développement deviennent plus complexes. Faut-il aller de " l'Etat-nation aux Etats-régions " ou de la " Région aux territoires " ? Ce sont là autant de questions qui se posent actuellement à la géographie. Ce volume, Maîtrise de l'espace et développement en Afrique : état des lieux, a pour objectif de faire prendre conscience aux géographes africains des nouveaux enjeux et défis auxquels est désormais confrontée leur discipline. Que signifie désormais l'espace de développement ? Quelle est sa portée économique et politique ? Ces questions sont d'autant plus importantes à soulever qu'en Afrique, l'organisation de l'espace dépend de deux logiques : formelle et informelle.
Book Synopsis A History of Borno by : Vincent Hiribarren
Download or read book A History of Borno written by Vincent Hiribarren and published by Hurst & Company. This book was released on 2017 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Borno (in northeast Nigeria) is notorious today as the home of an Islamist terrorist group, Boko Haram, whose insurgency is a major security threat, but it was once the heartland of the Kanuri-speaking royal empire of Kanem-Borno, renowned throughout Africa and beyond, which in its later incarnation, the Bornu Empire, lasted from 1380 to 1893. This book offers the reader the first modern history of Borno, drawing upon sources in London, Berlin, Paris, Kaduna and Maiduguri and recently released 'migrated archives'. As its longevity suggests, what is particularly remarkable about Borno is the permanence of its boundaries-its territorial integrity-which dates back centuries, and the political and social identities that such borders framed in the minds of its inhabitants.

Book Synopsis Historical Dictionary of Niger by : Abdourahmane Idrissa
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Niger written by Abdourahmane Idrissa and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sitting on the cusp between Mediterranean and sub-Saharan Africa, Niger is in many ways a remarkable place, blending in the harsh Sahelian environment a great diversity of cultures and lifestyles to make up a poor but resilient nation. The country was established in the early 20th century in what used to be the busy crossroad of exchanges between the kingdoms and empires of West Africa and the Arab-Islamic world. The resulting melting pot is a blend of Western Sudanic cultures, manifest in particular in its food, music, and dance, as well as in the enduring rituals and practices of animist religions, along with a good deal of Arab culture imported through the Islamic religion and a dash of French culture. The fourth edition of the Historical Dictionary of Niger covers the history of the peoples of the Republic of Niger from medieval times to the present. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries covering elements of pre-colonial and colonial history, recent politics, cinema, literature, religion, economics, and finance. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Niger.

Book Synopsis Les états-nations face à l'intégration régionale en Afrique de l'ouest by : Maman Waziri Mato
Download or read book Les états-nations face à l'intégration régionale en Afrique de l'ouest written by Maman Waziri Mato and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2007 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A l'heure où l'Afrique occupe une place peu dynamique dans l'espace économique mondial, la taille modeste des Etats apparaît comme un obstacle au développement des activités d'échanges. L'importance de l'intégration régionale tient essentiellement aux possibilités qu'elle offre pour les développer. Elle permet d'élargir les marchés locaux en tirant profit de l'échelle de production rendue possible par l'élargissement des débouchés. C'est d'autant plus vrai que la plupart des marchés nationaux sont trop étroits ou incapables de supporter des activités économiques de grande envergure. Conscient de l'exiguïté de son marché intérieur, de la faiblesse de ses ressources et de son niveau de développement, le Niger a, depuis les premières heures de l'indépendance, affirmé avec constance la nécessité de s'engager dans la voie de l'intégration régionale. L'objectif visé est de permettre le renforcement et l'accélération de son développement économique et social. Cette attention portée par le Niger à la question de l'intégration régionale est encore rendue plus nécessaire par sa position géographique au carrefour entre, d'une part, l'Afrique du Nord et l'Afrique du Sud du Sahara et, d'autre part, l'Afrique de l'Ouest et celle du Centre. Le Niger dispose de beaucoup de potentialités, notamment agro-pastorales et minières, dont l'exploitation dans un cadre sous-régional représente un véritable atout. Les secteurs les plus importants de l'économie restent l'agriculture et l'élevage. Ils représentent 44 % du total des exportations du pays en 2004 et participent au PIB respectivement, à 27 % et 10 % selon les statistiques officielles. Mais il faudrait prendre en compte d'autres secteurs tels que les mines, l'artisanat et le tourisme. L'intégration économique peut être ainsi un axe de développement du Niger pour peu que les secteurs intégrateurs constituant les piliers de l'économie nationale soient identifiés et exploités en conséquence.

Book excerpt: De l'indépendance à nos jours, les intérêts stratégiques du Mali pour l'intégration régionale ont conduit tous ses dirigeants à s'y investir sans compter. La persistance de la crise ivoirienne est venue lui rappeler brutalement qu'il n'a pas d'avenir viable en dehors d'une Afrique de l'Ouest politiquement stable et qu'il est nécessaire de revoir les axes de communication hérités de la colonisation.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Guinée-Conakry recouvre toutes les zones écologiques du Sahel, de la savane à la forêt. Elle occupe une position géographique centrale entre les États du Sénégal, de la Guinée Bissau, de la Gambie, de la Mauritanie et du Mali au Nord, de la Sierra Leone, du Liberia et de la Côte d'Ivoire au Sud. La Guinée est aussi le château d'eau de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, la source des principaux fleuves du Sénégal, de la Gambie, du Niger et du Mano, sans compter les nombreuses rivières qui prennent leur source dans les Hauts Plateaux du Fuuta Djallon. Le sol guinéen renferme d'immenses réserves minières. Les deux tiers des réserves mondiales de bauxite, des gisements de fer à haute teneur, de l'or, du diamant, du pétrole et du gaz ainsi que de l'uranium en grande quantité, récemment découvert, lui appartiennent. Historiquement la Guinée enjambe toutes les formations politiques précoloniales qui ont rayonné en Afrique de l'Ouest, tels au XIXe siècle les empires d'El Hadj Oumar et de Samory. Culturellement, la Guinée est un résumé de toutes les populations de l'Afrique de l'Ouest avec des langues de grande diffusion comme le mandingue et le puular. Le paradoxe de la Guinée c'est d'avoir été le phare de la révolution africaine et d'avoir participé activement à toutes les initiatives de regroupement à l'échelle régionale et continentale, mais d'avoir enfermé sa population à double tour dans une dictature aveugle qui a obligé des millions de Guinéens à prendre le chemin de l'exil. Cet isolement physique, économique et intellectuel continue de paralyser sur le plan interne les efforts de reconstruction de l'économie et la marche vers plus de libertés démocratiques. En mai 2007, un séminaire national s'est tenu à Conakry sous l'égide de l'Unesco. Il a constitué une bouffée d'oxygène pour les chercheurs guinéens et leur administration en leur permettant de dialoguer pour la première fois et de sortir la Guinée de son isolement physique et intellectuel grâce à la présence des invités en provenance des pays voisins. Pays carrefour, la Guinée aspire aujourd'hui à jouer un nouveau rôle en Afrique de l'Ouest. Les pays de la CEDEAO ont besoin d'elle et de ses richesses agricoles, minières et hydro-électriques pour consolider et développer l'intégration régionale.
