Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le monde entier regarde aujourd’hui vers l’Afrique subsaharienne parce qu’elle affiche une situation économique flatteuse, tandis que celle-ci se dégrade ou monte des signes de ralentissement dans de nombreux pays avancés et émergents. Depuis quelques années, les appels à l’investissement et à la confiance dans l’éveil économique du continent africain se multiplient : l’Afrique est présentée comme le dernier "eldorado", qui aiguise une véritable course aux marchés engagés par des pays de plus en plus nombreux. En effet, l’Afrique connaît une émergence économique et sociale sans précédent. Si elle représente aujourd’hui 2 % du commerce mondial, elle est le continent qui a connu la plus forte croissance dans les échanges internationaux entre 2000 et 2011 ; l’indice de développement humain s’y accroît ; et d’ici 2050, la population aura doublé pour atteindre quasiment 2 milliards d’individus, ce qui en fera l’un des plus grands marchés du monde. Il est urgent que la France prenne la mesure du nouveau contexte africain. Favoriser de manière concrète cette nouvelle dynamique économique en mettant en œuvre un partenariat entre l’Afrique et la France, tel est le défi que propose cet ouvrage issu d’une mission mise en oeuvre à la demande du ministre de l’Economie et des Finances Pierre Moscovici, qui en signe la préface. L’Afrique est appelée à être l’un des pôles majeurs de la mondialisation du XXIe siècle.

Download or read book Les dynamiques paradoxales de l int gration en Afrique subsaharienne written by Daniel C. Bach and published by Centro de Estudos Internacionais do Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL). This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En Afrique subsaharienne, l’exercice des compétences souveraines de l’Etat et son encadrement du territoire national sont sérieusement malmenés par la montée des flux transnationaux. La mondialisation des échanges et la tutelle des Clubs de Londres, de Paris ou des institutions de Bretton Woods sapent les prérogatives régaliennes plus insidieusement que ne le firent jamais les politiques d’influence des grands et supergrands à l’époque de la guerre froide. Cette dynamique de l’extraversion est porteuse d’incertitudes auxquelles l’historicité faiblement enracinée propre à l’Etat postcolonial confère un impact accru : le relâchement des contraintes de l’ordre mondial bipolaire stimule une montée de revendications identitaires, ethno-régionales ou religieuses qui contestent l’autoritarisme des régimes en place mais aussi les catégories de référence inhérentes au concept d’Etat-nation.

Telle est la quintessence du contenu du présent ouvrage.

Download or read book France in Black Africa written by Francis Terry McNamara and published by U.S. Government Printing Office. This book was released on 1989 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When, in 1960, France granted independence to its colonies in West and Central Africa-an empire covering an area the size of the contiguous United States-the French still intended to retain influence in Africa. Through a system of accords with these newly independent African nations, based upon ties naturally formed over the colonial years, France has succeeded for three decades in preserving its position in African affairs. The course of Franco-African relations in the near future, though, is less than certain. In this book, Ambassador Francis Terry McNamara outlines France's acquisition and administration of its Black African empire and traces the former colonies' paths to independence. Drawing upon that background, the ambassador examines the structure of post-independence Franco-African relations and recent strains on those relations, especially African economic crises and the French tendency to focus on Europe. Because of those strains, he suggests, France alone may be unable to support its former dependencies much longer. He believes that long-term solutions to African problems will have to involve international organizations like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund as well as other nations such as the United States and France's European partners. -- From Foreword.

Download or read book Reproduction and Social Organization in Sub Saharan Africa written by Ron J. Lesthaeghe and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike most Asian and Latin American countries, sub-Saharan Africa has seen both an increase in population growth rates and a weakening of traditional patterns of child-spacing since the 1960s. It is tempting to conclude that sub-Saharan countries have simply not reached adequate levels of income, education, and urbanization for a fertility decline to occur. This book argues, however, that such a socioeconomic threshold hypothesis will not provide an adequate basis for comparison. These authors take the view that any reproductive regime is also anchored to a broader pattern of social organization, including the prevailing modes of production, rules of exchange, patterns of religious systems, kinship structure, division of labor, and gender roles. They link the characteristic features of the African reproductive regime with regard to nuptiality, polygyny, breastfeeding, postpartum abstinence, sterility, and child-fostering to other specifically African characteristics of social organization and culture. Substantial attention is paid to the heterogeneity that prevails among sub-Saharan societies and considerable use is made, therefore, of interethnic comparisons. As a result the book goes considerably beyond mere demographic description and builds bridges between demography and anthropology or sociology. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.
