Book Synopsis L'improvisation économique en Afrique de l'Ouest - Du coton au franc CFA by : Nubukpo Kako
Download or read book L'improvisation économique en Afrique de l'Ouest - Du coton au franc CFA written by Nubukpo Kako and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2011-09-23 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La croissance et le développement de l'Afrique subsaharienne constituent un véritable mythe : ils sont évoqués dans tous les discours, mais tardent à se concrétiser. L'évidente contradiction entre les objectifs volontaristes affichés par les pouvoirs publics africains et la faiblesse des moyens dont ils se dotent conduit à s'interroger sur les ressorts de ce paradoxe et à mobiliser comme facteur explicatif l'extraversion qui caractérise les liens qu'entretient l'Afrique avec le reste du monde, en particulier les liens économiques. Vu de loin, le comportement des pouvoirs publics africains paraît incohérent et parfois suicidaire, en tout cas en contradiction avec les impératifs du développement. A y regarder de plus près, ce comportement semble toutefois parfaitement rationnel pour des individus dont la principale préoccupation est, au mieux, de s'adapter à un contexte décisionnel fluctuant et, au pire, d'instrumentaliser les contraintes externes pour s'octroyer une légitimité interne d'autant plus impérative qu'elle peut rarement s'appuyer sur des élections libres et transparentes. Il en résulte un jeu permanent entre les individus et les institutions dont l'issue est incertaine. Cet ouvrage s'attache à démontrer que l'improvisation, tendance lourde du pilotage des économies africaines, est la réponse des pouvoirs publics africains à des événements perçus comme aléatoires. L'absence de maîtrise des instruments de souveraineté économique (la monnaie, le budget) se traduit concrètement par une obligation de réagir au lieu d'agir. Après avoir mis en évidence la faible efficacité des politiques économiques menées sur le continent africain, cet ouvrage entend ainsi expliquer une partie de l'échec des politiques suivies, résultat pour l'essentiel de l'incertitude et de l'extraversion de la gouvernance en Afrique subsaharienne.
Book Synopsis Regimes of Responsibility in Africa by : Benjamin Rubbers
Download or read book Regimes of Responsibility in Africa written by Benjamin Rubbers and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2019-10-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regimes of Responsibility in Africa analyses the transformations that discourses and practices of responsibility have undergone in Africa. By doing so, this collection develops a stronger grasp of the specific political, economic and social transformations taking place today in Africa. At the same time, while focusing on case studies from the African continent, the work enters into a dialogue with the emerging corpus of studies in the field of ethics, adding to it a set of analytical perspectives that can help further enlarge its theoretical and geographical scope.
Book Synopsis Farming Systems and Food Security in Africa by : John Dixon
Download or read book Farming Systems and Food Security in Africa written by John Dixon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 896 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge of Africa’s complex farming systems, set in their socio-economic and environmental context, is an essential ingredient to developing effective strategies for improving food and nutrition security. This book systematically and comprehensively describes the characteristics, trends, drivers of change and strategic priorities for each of Africa’s fifteen farming systems and their main subsystems. It shows how a farming systems perspective can be used to identify pathways to household food security and poverty reduction, and how strategic interventions may need to differ from one farming system to another. In the analysis, emphasis is placed on understanding farming systems drivers of change, trends and strategic priorities for science and policy. Illustrated with full-colour maps and photographs throughout, the volume provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of Africa’s farming systems and pathways for the future to improve food and nutrition security. The book is an essential follow-up to the seminal work Farming Systems and Poverty by Dixon and colleagues for the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations and the World Bank, published in 2001.
Book Synopsis C est l homme qui fait l homme by : B. Nyamnjoh
Download or read book C est l homme qui fait l homme written by B. Nyamnjoh and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2015-08-12 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that human beings are inextricably bound to one another is at the heart of this book about African agency, especially drawing on the African philosophy Ubuntu, with its roots in human sociality and inclusivity. Ubuntus precepts and workings are severely tested in these times of rapid change and multiple responsibilities. Africans negotiate their social existence between urban and rural life, their continental and transcontinental distances, and all the market forces that now impinge, with relationships and loyalties placed in question. Between ideal and reality, dreams and schemes, how is Ubuntu actualized, misappropriated and endangered? The book unearths the intrigues and contradictions that go with inclusivity in Africa. Basing his argument on the ideals of trust, conviviality and support embodied in the concept of Ubuntu, Francis Nyamnjoh demonstrates how the pursuit of personal success and even self-aggrandizement challenges these ideals, thus leading to discord in social relationships. Nyamnjoh uses a popular Ivorian drama with the same title to substantiate life-world realities and more importantly to demonstrate that new forms of expression, from popular drama to fiction, thicken and enrich the ethnographic component in current anthropology.
Book Synopsis South—South Regional Financial Arrangements by : Diana Barrowclough
Download or read book South—South Regional Financial Arrangements written by Diana Barrowclough and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how regional cooperation and integration have increased massively in scale and scope in recent years, as developing countries seek new ways to shield themselves from economic turbulence and to kick-start their economies in the face of stagnant global demand. The trend is partly a defense mechanism against the limitations of the international financial system, but also reflects a wider search for new and different growth paths more appropriate with developing countries’ increasing economic and political voice. As a consequence, the landscape of financial and monetary mechanisms has changed dramatically, especially in the ten years since the economic crisis of 2007–2008.
Book Synopsis Diversity of Family Farming Around the World by : Pierre-Marie Bosc
Download or read book Diversity of Family Farming Around the World written by Pierre-Marie Bosc and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims at explaining the nature and strength of the links between the families and their farms looking at their diversity throughout the world. To do so, it documents family farming diversity by using the sustainable rural livelihood (SRL) framework exploring their ability to adapt and transform to changing environments. In 18 case studies in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe, it shows how family farms resist under adverse conditions, seize new opportunities and permanently transform. Family farms, far from being backwards are potential solutions to face the current challenges and shape a new future for agriculture taking advantage of their local knowledge and capacity to cope with external constraints. Many co-authors of the book have both an empirical and theoretical experience of family farming in developed and developing countries and their related institutions. They specify «what makes and means family» in family farming and the diversity of their expertise draws a wide and original picture of this resilient way of farming throughout the world.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Development and Tropical Agri-chains by : Estelle Biénabe
Download or read book Sustainable Development and Tropical Agri-chains written by Estelle Biénabe and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-20 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book links tropical agri-chain dynamics – with which CIRAD and AFD have been involved for decades – to that of sustainable development. Increased environmental and social concerns urge agri-chain actors and development practitioners to design innovations, and public and private actors to invent regulations in connection with agri-chains to improve sustainability.With a view to contributing towards implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this book examines the different roles of agri-chains: as vectors of development, as spaces of innovation, as objects of evaluation, and as arenas of regulation. It builds upon the findings and experiences of CIRAD and its researchers together with their Southern partners, and of AFD and its officers.Linking agricultural production with the other economic sectors, agri- chains are key spaces where local and global challenges to sustainability meet and where local and global actors experiment interlinked or common solutions.
Book Synopsis Mobilités dans l'espace ouest-africain by : Elisabeth Boesen
Download or read book Mobilités dans l'espace ouest-africain written by Elisabeth Boesen and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2014 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ce volume aborde des phénomènes de mobilité spatiale rarement pris en considération dans les débats actuels en sciences sociales où elle est considérée comme un "principe général de la modernité" (BonB et al. 2004) et célébrée comme un nouveau paradigme. À l'exemple de l'espace Sahara-Sahel, les auteurs traitent ici de variantes "banales" de la mobilité et du mouvement dans la mesure où elles représentent des formes élémentaires de recherche de subsistance et de revenu. Ces formes sont le contraire de ce que l'on peut assimiler à des stratégies de "libre choix" ou à des expressions d'une individualité moderne. Une des particularités des contributions présentées ici est d'analyser diverses formes de mobilité spatiale, tant régionales qu'à travers des exemples classiques de migration européenne, non seulement en fonction de leurs effets économiques sur l'individu et la collectivité d'origine mais aussi des implications locales et régionales qu'elles génèrent. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est ainsi d'attirer l'attention sur le fait que ces mouvements présentent un potentiel inhérent de changement et de développement. Les textes ont été rédigés à partir des communications présentées à un atelier de travail interdisciplinaire financé par la Fondation allemande pour la Recherche (DFG), à Bamako en février 2011. Des études empiriques sur l'espace Sahara-Sahel y ont été mises en lumière dans une perspective "vue de loin", qui compare les conditions politiques et administratives des mobilités en Afrique de l'Ouest et en Amérique latine. S'y ajoute une perspective "vue de près" qui suggère une conception de la mobilité inspirée de celle des nomades sahélo-sahariens et non de celle des voyageurs occidentaux modernes."--P. [4] of cover.

Book Synopsis The Assassination of Lumumba by : Ludo De Witte
Download or read book The Assassination of Lumumba written by Ludo De Witte and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Assassination of Lumumba unravels the appalling mass of lies, hypocrisy and betrayals that have surrounded accounts of the 1961 assassination of Patrice Lumumba—the first prime minister of the Republic of Congo and a pioneer of African unity—since it perpetration. Making use of a huge array of official sources as well as personal testimony from many of those in the Congo at the time, Ludo De Witte reveals a network of complicity ranging from the Belgian government to the CIA. Patrice Lumumba’s personal strength and his quest for African unity emerges in stark contrast with one of the murkiest episodes in twentieth-century politics.
Book Synopsis Du missionnaire à l'anthropologue by :
Download or read book Du missionnaire à l'anthropologue written by and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2012 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'engouement du public pour les écrits missionnaires, les journaux ou les récits de voyage alimente de nos jours toute une politique de réédition. Anthropologues et historiens découvrent ou redécouvrent avec un grand intérêt les ressources ethnohistoriques et ethnolinguistiques des journaux de bord tenus par les missionnaires européens ou indigènes, catéchistes ou évangélistes. répondant tantôt à la demande d'information de l'autorité institutionnelle de leur congrégation, tantôt à leur propre quête et curiosité. De la traduction de la Bible en langue vernaculaire à la production de traités savants sur la parenté ou la religion primitive, en passant par l'élaboration érudite de dictionnaires, de nombreux missionnaires ethnologues ont apporté une contribution majeure à l'émergence de la discipline ethnologique. A partir des années 1960, la consécration de l'anthropologie comme discipline universitaire et la professionnalisation du métier d'ethnologue ont amené les générations plus récentes à repenser les liens, les compromis ou les malentendus entre vocation religieuse et carrière d'ethnologue. Depuis lors s'est ouvert un vaste débat méthodologique entre historiens, anthropologues et missiologues. Les questions sur les rapports entre l'action missionnaire et l'action ethnologique demeurent nombreuses. Le cas de figure qu'incarne Michael Singleton, ancien missionnaire devenu ethnologue puis anthropologue formé par Sir Evans-Pritchard, a semblé aux éditeurs de ce livre une occasion idéale pour revenir sur ce sujet complexe. C'est en son hommage que sont publiées ici un ensemble de contributions présentées lors d'un colloque, tenu à Louvain-la-Neuve, en mars 2005, et qui ont été abondamment retravaillées. L'ouvrage se veut une imitation à poursuivre la réflexion à la lumière de cas souvent très différents mais complémentaires.

Book Synopsis Historical Dictionary of Togo by : Jennifer C. Seely
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Togo written by Jennifer C. Seely and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Togo’s history from precolonial times to the present is one of a struggle for identity and leadership. A territory relatively untouched by neighboring pre-colonial empires was colonized by both the Germans and the French, and even before independence Togo was shaped by the struggle for political control by prominent families. Since the 1990s, widespread political movements have striven to unseat the ruling Gnassingbé family, in power for more than 50 years, only to be repressed by the military or thwarted at the ballot box. Economically more prosperous compared to many of the other countries in the West African region, Togo has diversified its economy from an early dependence on phosphates, and has navigated trade and foreign relations remarkably well for a country of only 7 million people, with a territory less than a quarter the size of neighboring Ghana. With at least 30 ethnic groups and wide array of languages, religions and cultural traditions, Togo is representative of the rich diversity of contemporary Africa, and a vibrant illustration of the dual quest for development and democracy that characterizes the West African region. The fourth edition of Historical Dictionary of Togo contains a chronology, an introduction, an extensive bibliography, and a dictionary section has over 1,000 cross-referenced dictionary 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 Togo.
