Book Synopsis Germany's Africa Policy Revisited by : Ulf Engel
Download or read book Germany's Africa Policy Revisited written by Ulf Engel and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2002 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Germany has been a major international player in Africa ever since West Germany's readmission to international politics after 1955, surprisingly little has been written about this topic, and even less reliable knowledge has been established. This study poses the need for a review of Germany's relations with the African continent over the past decades. It challenges scholars to fill the factual gaps that characterize the state of research so far. Ulf Engel is associate professor of politics in Africa at the Institute of African Studies, University of Leipzig. Robert Kappel is professor of politics and economics at the Institute of African Studies, University of Leipzig.
Download or read book Afrika im Wandel written by Thomas Bearth and published by vdf Hochschulverlag AG. This book was released on 2007 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die in der medialen Öffentlichkeit vorherrschende Wahrnehmung Afrikas als endemische Krisenregion wirft Fragen auf, die sich nicht nur an Afrika, sondern auch an uns selbst richten: Ist die Wahrnehmung Afrikas als defizitärer Kontinent nicht auch das Produkt einer defizitären Wahrnehmung, die weit in die uns mit Afrika verbindende Geschichte zurückreicht? Können wir uns die mentale und wirtschaftlich-politische Abkoppelung Afrikas und die daraus folgenden Wissens- und Verstehensdefizite in einer Welt, die uns täglich die globalen Interdependenzen in allen Lebensbereichen vor Augen führt, überhaupt leisten? Und wie verträgt sich die oft zu Tage tretende Unwissenheit über Afrika mit dem Anspruch einer sich vom Eurozentrismus emanzipiert glaubenden Wissenschaft? In den Beiträgen dieses Sammelbands kommen Fachleute verschiedener Disziplinen zu Wort, die sich die Auseinandersetzung mit der vielschichtigen Realität und den Veränderungen unseres Nachbarkontinents zu ihrer Aufgabe gemacht haben, sowie namhafte Exponenten der öffentlichen Meinungsbildung. Das Themenspektrum reicht von Kunst und Literatur über Konflikt- und Wirtschaftsforschung bis hin zu Fragen des Gesundheitswesens. Ziel ist nicht die restlose Deutung aller "Rätsel" Afrikas, wohl aber – als bescheidener Schritt in diese Richtung – die Erschliessung neuer Wege des Verstehens. Dazu gehört die Information über wenig bekannte Aspekte scheinbar vertrauter Probleme und deren Einordnung in globale Zusammenhänge und lokale Perspektiven. Dazu gehört aber auch die in der Auswahl der Referentinnen und Referenten zum Ausdruck kommende Erkenntnis, dass Verstehen den Dialog mit Afrika nicht erst ermöglicht, sondern voraussetzt.

Book Synopsis Land and the Politics of Belonging in West Africa by : Richard Kuba
Download or read book Land and the Politics of Belonging in West Africa written by Richard Kuba and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2005-12-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing that land rights are ambiguous, negotiable and politically embedded, these case studies explore the long-term processes and recent changes in contemporary rural West Africa affecting the conversion of control over land into social and political capital and vice versa. They point to the colonial origins of what came to be viewed as ‘customary’ tenure and to the legal pluralism characterizing pre-colonial tenure arrangements. Furthermore, they show the spiritual and ritual importance of land that can be converted into political power and economic prerogatives, a dimension neglected by much of the recent literature. Analyses cover forest and savannah, state and segmentary societies, facilitating comparison and insights across the Anglo-Francophone divide.
Book Synopsis Globalisation – Cultures – Religions / Globalisierung – Kulturen – Religionen by :
Download or read book Globalisation – Cultures – Religions / Globalisierung – Kulturen – Religionen written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of Globalisation has subjected cultures, religions and societies or communities of the world to fundamental changes, which are primarily characterised and conditioned by new communication technologies, migration, worldwide exchange of goods and capital. This development has led to the rise of plural societies, which not only mean chances and opportunities but also a potential of threat for the future of humanity. Subsequent to this development this international conference addresses the question of how living together in a global age could succeed and be fruitful. Im Zuge des Globalisierungsprozesses befinden sich alle Kulturen, Religionen und damit alle Gesellschaften der Welt in einem grundlegenden Wandel, der vor allem durch neue Kommunikationstechnologien, Migration, weltweiten Austausch von Kapital und Gütern bedingt ist. Diese Entwicklung hat zur Entstehung pluraler Gesellschaften geführt, die nicht nur eine Chance, sondern auch ein Bedrohungspotenzial für die Zukunft der Menschheit bedeutet. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt sich für die Tagung die Frage, wie ein Zusammenleben der Menschen in einer zunehmend multireligiösen und multikulturellen Welt gelingen kann
Book Synopsis Inequality, Socio-cultural Differentiation and Social Structures in Africa by : Dieter Neubert
Download or read book Inequality, Socio-cultural Differentiation and Social Structures in Africa written by Dieter Neubert and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contends that conventional class concepts are not able to adequately capture social inequality and socio-cultural differentiation in Africa. Earlier empirical findings concerning ethnicity, neo-traditional authorities, patron-client relations, lifestyles, gender, social networks, informal social security, and even the older debate on class in Africa, have provided evidence that class concepts do not apply; yet these findings have mostly been ignored. For an analysis of the social structures and persisting extreme inequality in African societies – and in other societies of the world – we need to go beyond class, consider the empirical realities and provincialise our conventional theories. This book develops a new framework for the analysis of social structure based on empirical findings and more nuanced approaches, including livelihood analysis and intersectionality, and will be useful for students and scholars in African studies and development studies, sociology, social anthropology, political science and geography.
Book Synopsis Globalization, Urban Progress, Urban Problems, Rural Disadvantages by : Stefanie Knauder
Download or read book Globalization, Urban Progress, Urban Problems, Rural Disadvantages written by Stefanie Knauder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2000: This text demonstrates the mutual effects of, and interconnections between, globalization, urbanization and rural stagnation, both theoretically and empirically. It places its comprehensive empirical investigation on two levels of urbanization - the peri-urban and the fully urbanized areas - and includes the analysis of the rural conditions into the context of the Southern African region, and also into the context of global processes in an historical and interdisciplinary perspective. The text analyzes the magnitude of the two gaps and the process of social change between the three areas objectively, by showing the changing social interaction patterns, the differences in housing and other socio-economic variables, and subjectively, through showing the judgement of the people of these variables the degree of satisfaction and depression. As the majority of variables reveal poverty, the root causes for it in Mozambique, Africa and the Third World are analyzed and aspects of an alternative development and an alternative globalization are presented.

Book Synopsis Medicine, Mobility, and Power in Global Africa by : Hansjörg Dilger
Download or read book Medicine, Mobility, and Power in Global Africa written by Hansjörg Dilger and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-08 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent political, social, and economic changes in Africa have provoked radical shifts in the landscape of health and healthcare. Medicine, Mobility, and Power in Global Africa captures the multiple dynamics of a globalized world and its impact on medicine, health, and the delivery of healthcare in Africa—and beyond. Essays by an international group of contributors take on intractable problems such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, and insufficient access to healthcare, drugs, resources, hospitals, and technologies. The movements of people and resources described here expose the growing challenges of poverty and public health, but they also show how new opportunities have been created for transforming healthcare and promoting care and healing.
Book Synopsis Language and Development in Africa by : H. Ekkehard Wolff
Download or read book Language and Development in Africa written by H. Ekkehard Wolff and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Development is based on communication through language. With more than two thousand languages being used in Africa, language becomes a highly relevant factor in all sectors of political, social, cultural and economic life. This important sociolinguistic dimension hitherto remains underrated and under-researched in 'Western' mainstream development studies. The book discusses the resourcefulness of languages, both local and global, in view of the ongoing transformation of African societies as much as for economic development. From a novel 'applied African sociolinguistics' perspective it analyses the continuing effects of linguistic imperialism on postcolonial African societies, in particular regarding the educational sector, through imposed hegemonic languages such as Arabic and the ex-colonial languages of European provenance. It offers a broad interdisciplinary scientific approach to the linguistic dimensions of sociocultural modernisation and economic development in Africa, written for both the non-linguistically trained reader as much as for the linguistically trained researcher and language practitioner.
Book Synopsis Africa's Reintegration Into the World Economy by : Karl Wohlmuth
Download or read book Africa's Reintegration Into the World Economy written by Karl Wohlmuth and published by Lit Verlag. This book was released on 2001 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The marginalisation of Africa with regard to international trade, international investment, international technology flows and international firm cooperation is the outcome of historical factors, especially of the colonial period, but also of the policies pursued after independence. Africa's marginalisation is also the result of highly inadequate economic reforms during the 1980s that failed to stimulate internationally competitive production of goods and services in primary production, in manufacturing and in services. Volume 8 of the African Development Perspectives Yearbook focusses on the causes of Africa's inadequate integration into the world economy, and on the strategies to regain an international status for Africa's production and trade sectors. Cases of successful integration of companies and countries into the world market as well as lessons for a better integration are the main thrust of the book. It is now time to demonstrate that world market integration is in reach for A

Book Synopsis Traditional Leadership and Democratisation in Southern Africa by : Sandra Düsing
Download or read book Traditional Leadership and Democratisation in Southern Africa written by Sandra Düsing and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2002 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the impacts of ethnically based, traditional political institutions on democratic state and nation building in Southern Africa and how do heterogeneous sources of legitimacy affect the prospects of long-term democratic regime consolidation? What are the impacts of "traditionalism" employed for purposes of party-political mobilization? An indicator for the political influence of traditional leadership in Southern Africa is the fact that a considerable number of democratically elected politicians in high office originate from aristocratic families, representing hereditary traditional leadership structures for centuries. This is evident for the charismatic founding president of the new South Africa; Nelson Mandela, as well as for his adversary, the prime minister-in-office, Mangosuthu Buthelezi. The careful reconsideration of this "state behind the state" has been identified as crucial, in this study, to make any realistic assessments of the prospects for sustainable democratization in Southern African countries in the near future.

Download or read book Local Land Law and Globalization written by Gordon R. Woodman and published by Lit Verlag. This book was released on 2004 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of the effects of global influences on local activity in relation to the land laws in some urban and peri-urban localities in three African countries. It begins with a theoretical consideration of the concept of globalization and of the way in which it may inform research in the social scientific study of law. The three chapters which form the core of the book are detailed, empirical studies of the effects of globalizing processes on the living land laws observed in selected communities in Benin, Ghana and Tanzania. The last chapter consists of some comparative conclusions. The study is part of the interdisciplinary research program on "Local Action in Africa in the Context of Global Influences" (Humanities Collaborative Research Centre, SFB/FK 560) at the University of Bayreuth, Germany.
