This book was released on 2019-03-04 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis 1967, année du centenaire de la Confédération, de nombreux épisodes de crise politique et de difficultés économiques ainsi que les événements internationaux ont contribué à la transformation de la société canadienne et continueront de façonner son avenir. En tenant compte de ces diverses difficultés et opportunités rencontrées dans le passé, à quoi ressemble l’avenir du Canada? Dans Réfléchir sur notre passé pour aborder notre avenir, des diplomates, des politiciens, des chercheurs et des personnages en vue dans le domaine des droits de l’homme, dont Phil Fontaine, Michaëlle Jean, Ellen Gabriel, Paul Heinbecker, Bob Rae, Jean Charest et David Suzuki mettent en commun leur sagesse et leur expérience des événements qui ont marqué l’histoire du pays au cours des cinquante dernières années. Réfléchissant au rôle complémentaire à la Chambre des communes du Sénat au Canada, ils examinent des enjeux clés comme la condition des peuples autochtones, les obligations imposées par la Charte des droits et libertés, la reconnaissance des deux langues officielles et les référendums sur l’unité nationale. Les collaborateurs abordent aussi la transformation de l’économie dans un monde numérisé et un système planétaire, le rôle du Canada sur la scène mondiale à une époque de tension croissante, le flot accru de réfugiés, les changements climatiques et l’incertitude entourant l’avenir de l’Arctique, la concurrence scientifique et culturelle sur le marché international et l’avenir de la démocratie parlementaire. Corrigeant les fausses idées à propos du rôle actuel du Sénat et donnant le contre-argument à une réforme radicale du Sénat, Réfléchir sur notre passé pour aborder notre avenir propose de riches perspectives et un aperçu fascinant de l’évolution probable du Canada au cours des prochaines années.
Download or read book L Afrique notre avenir written by Jacques Godfrain and published by Michel Lafon. This book was released on 1998 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Un continent à l'agonie ", nous répètent les Cassandre... Jacques Godfrain s'insurge contre cet " afro-pessimisme ". Ministre de la Coopération, il a sillonné pendant deux ans le continent noir, traité les dossiers, rencontré des hommes. Au fil des anecdotes personnelles et des analyses, c'est une " autre Afrique " qu'il nous dépeint ici, souriante, pleine de dynamisme, tant sur le plan économique que social. Quant à la politique française de développement, si décriée de nos jours, l'auteur n'y voit pas une entreprise de charité à fonds perdus, mais une solidarité nécessaire entre Etats partenaires. L'épanouissement africain est synonyme de création d'emplois en France, de frein à l'immigration, et de ressources accrues pour la planète. Ce discours réaliste, qui bouscule les idées reçues, nous pernmet aussi de visiter - et d'apprécier -des régions pour beaucoup inconnues. D'un paysage à l'autre, brossant des scènes hautes en couleur, Jacques Godfrain nous entraîne avec talent dans ces contrées qu'il aime, là où, dit-il, " on ne laisse jamais personne au bord du chemin ".

Download or read book Time for Africa s Emergence written by Sa’ah François Guimatsia and published by Book Venture Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2016-05-30 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where do things stand today in Africa, after some 56 years of independence? Well, the continent is not just a land of crises and hardships; it also has what it takes to become emergent this 21st century – abundant natural resources, a youthful and dynamic population, a great potential for growth, etc. But most wounds inflicted by the colonial and neocolonial systems to date remain unhealed. Africans therefore have three crucial prerequisites to fulfill for their continent’s renaissance: regain their lost cultural balance, put in place a solid economic backbone, and promote a leadership committed to good governance and continental integration. In this illuminating book written from a refreshing African perspective, the author examines the facts and shares his deep conviction – without indulging in angst or finger-pointing– that Africans should build their continent’s emergence on a great sense of patriotism combined with sound preparation and intelligent cooperation, bearing in mind the potent examples set by Nelson Mandela, Thomas Sankara and other world political icons.

Download or read book Une Transtion Juste written by NJ Ayuk and published by Blackstone Publishing. This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EN SEULEMENT QUELQUES DÉCENNIES, les pays du monde entier sont devenus bien plus interdépendants qu’on n’aurait jamais pu l’imaginer. Notre regard sur le monde évolue et, avec lui, la demande pour que les cultures et les institutions politiques de la planète « pensent globalement » se fait croissante. Si penser globalement est souvent pavé de bonnes intentions, agir globalement sans tenir compte des réalités locales peut produire des résultats involontairement néfastes. Dans Une Transition juste, le célèbre auteur et entrepreneur camerounais NJ Ayuk montre comment cette triste réalité advient alors que les ambitieuses politiques de l’Agence internationale de l’énergie (AIE) en matière d’énergie verte étouffent et paralysent les économies énergétiques de l’Afrique. Avec une abondance naturelle de ressources pétrolières et gazières, l’Afrique a le potentiel d’être un leader mondial de l’énergie, mais l’énergie verte seule ne permettra pas d’opérer cette transformation. Une Transition juste analyse en détail la possibilité d’un avenir radieux pour les pays africains et les facteurs qui y font obstacle. NJ Ayuk nous présente un récit détaillé dans lequel il aborde avec expertise des sujets importants comme la réalité de la précarité énergétique, la valeur du gaz naturel en Afrique, l’impact néfaste de l’aide internationale en Afrique, l’adoption des nouvelles technologies ou encore la création de débouchés économiques pour les femmes. Avec une gouvernance réfléchie, du flair pour les perspectives d’avenir et l’attention toute particulière que les pays touchés par des réformes de grande envergure méritent, le continent africain est en mesure d’opérer une transition vers les énergies renouvelables juste et florissante pour toutes les parties concernées.
Download or read book Aid to Africa written by Gordon Cumming and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the Cold War forced Western donors to rethink their aid relations with Africa. This book looks at two of these donors, France and Britain, and asks whether the development programmes of these former colonial powers have undergone radical changes since the end of the Old World Order. It focuses on the introduction of a controversial new ’regime’ trend - political conditionality - and uses policy models to illustrate the driving forces behind this new development strategy and explain substantial differences in France and Britain’s practice of political conditionality in Togo and Kenya. Overall, this volume - the first comparative study of French and British aid in the post-Cold War period - offers fresh insights into the evolution of the political assistance agenda and into deeper forces at work within the French and UK policy processes.
Download or read book Morocco s Africa Policy written by Yousra Abourabi and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-05-03 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the advent of the reign of Mohammed VI in 1999, Morocco has deployed a new continental foreign policy. The Kingdom aspires to be recognized as an emerging African power in its identity as well as in its space of projection. In order to meet these ambitions, the diplomatic apparatus is developing and modernizing, while a singular role identity is emerging around the notion of the "golden mean". This study presents, on an empirical level, the conditions of the elaboration and conduct of this Africa policy, and analyzes, on a theoretical level, the evolution of the Moroccan role identity in the international system.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Gabon written by Douglas A. Yates and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-12-28 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new fourth edition of the Historical Dictionary of Gabon brings up to date the political affairs of the country, since the accession to power of Ali Bongo, eldest son of Omar Bongo, the former president-for-life, who died in 2009 after the publication of the third edition. Themes of “continuity” and “change” are present throughout the entries, not only as the Bongo family continues its half century of dynastic rule (there are a dozen Bongos in this new edition), but as the rare primeval tropical rainforests continue to dominate the landscape yet are menaced by destructive logging and palm oil plantations, and as this former French colony after independence continues to collaborate with the French African sphere of influence yet seeks new partners from America and Asia (China, Singapore), and as the country’s numerous ethnic groups perpetuate a multicultural mosaic that is nevertheless threatened by globalization of communications and cultural convergence. This fourth edition of Historical Dictionary of Gabon contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 300 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 Gabon.

Download or read book Gender Science and Technology Perspectives from Africa written by Catherine Wawasi Kitetu and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2008 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sixth volume of the CODESRIA Gender Series is a collection of discourses, perspectives, practices and policies on the role of the female gender in science and technology, particularly in the African context. Although widely advocated as the indisputable foundation for political and economic power in the modern world, science and technology remains marked by various layers and dimensions of gender inequality that work to the disadvantage of girls and women. Despite the fact that a lot of awareness has been created, and gender issues are now more readily acknowledged by various development initiatives in Africa, participation in science and technology still remains a hurdle as far as girls and women are concerned. A common theme that runs through the book is how feminine identities, ideologies of domesticity and gender stereotypes, and the inadequacy or lack of clear policies facilitate the invisibility of women in science and technology. This notwithstanding, women have never ceased devising clever and ingenious ways that would enable them to master nature, from the margins. The book provides a window onto the current state of female participation in science and technology in Africa, along with an analysis of the historical backgrounds, current educational and professional contexts, and prospects for the future. While it is evident that more research needs to be done, with more groups in different regions, this volume brings together a rich and inspiring collection of qualitative insights on gender, science and technology in Africa. The CODESRIA Gender Series acknowledges the need to challenge the masculinities underpinning the structures of repression that target women. The series aims to keep alive and nourish African social science research with insightful research and debates that challenge conventional wisdom, structures and ideologies that are narrowly informed by caricatures of gender realities. It strives to showcase the best in African gender research and provide a platform for emerging new talents to flower.

Book excerpt: "With almost prophetie vision, the author saw European events shaping themselves to an inevitable crisis ... This meant a continental war, and in such a war, Delaisi reasoned, both sides would have need of France ... Delaisi was not an accurate prophet in everything. He underestimated the gritty fight which England has shown herself capable of waging even on land. And he entirely undervalued the financial strength of Germany. The European conditions, however, which brought about the war, he clearly discerned, and simply and forcefully described"--Foreword.

Download or read book Neoclassical realism in European politics written by Asle Toje and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2024-07-30 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Realism is making a comeback in Europe. This book brings together a new generation of realist scholars. It provides a rigorous survey for specialists seeking to understand the dynamics of international relations in a time of change. The volume thus seeks to explore the European dimension to neoclassical realism. The hope with this book is that it will spark a debate that, in time, might lead to the re-emergence of a distinctly European realist school which draws on the roots of the historical, non-American realist tradition, benefiting from insights in the liberal-constructivist paradigm. Through detailed case studies, the book illustrates that power and influence remain fruitful, even indispensable variables through which to understand the formation of foreign policy.
