Book excerpt: À l'origine, organisation centrée exclusivement dans la coopération culturelle et technique au profit de ses États membres, l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) est aujourd'hui considérée comme une actrice politique internationale incontestable dans la promotion de la démocratie et de la paix. Constituée de quatre-vingt-huit États et gouvernements, son action politique est marquée par son investissement en Afrique et notamment en Afrique noire francophone, épicentre principal de son activité opérationnelle. Ainsi, que ce soit dans le domaine du monitoring des élections, du renforcement des institutions politiques, etc., l'OIF a marqué sa présence effective au chevet des États en leur apportant l'appui nécessaire. Toutefois, cet apport de l'OIF reste perfectible...

This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En Afrique subsaharienne francophone, au cours de ces deux dernières décennies, le nombre et l'intensité des crises et conflits restent un sujet de vive préoccupation exigeant une réponse globale. Ces différends ont souvent pour cause profonde la violation des droits de l'homme et l'avènement du processus démocratique débouchant sur des transitions chaotiques, notamment en République démocratique du Congo, au Tchad, en Côte d'Ivoire et au Togo.L'OIF, un acteur à vocation culturelle doté dorénavant d'instruments et de mécanismes de prévention et de sortie de crises, s'impose à côté de l'ONU et autres organisations internationales et régionales comme une institution culturelle de démocratie et de sécurité.Outre son rôle prépondérant en matière de contribution au processus démocratique, les actions de la Francophonie se déroulent en complémentarité avec celles des autres organisations impliquées dans la prévention, la gestion et la résolution des conflits.A l'heure des enjeux sécuritaires entre Etats, et en dépit de ses moyens limités, il s'avère nécessaire de construire autour de cet espace géoculturel à dimension politique, une identité stratégique sécuritaire en vue de juguler les menaces et risques majeurs et jouer pleinement son rôle de puissance d'influence.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combien y a-t-il d'apprenants de français en Roumanie ou au Viêt Nam, en Algérie ou en Australie ? Qu'en est-il de l'usage du français dans les organisations internationales ? À combien peut-on estimer le nombre de francophones au Burkina Faso, au Canada ou en Tunisie ? Quelles sont les principales langues africaines des pays membres de l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie ? Qui sont les alliés de la Francophonie dans les débats et les projets sur la diversité culturelle ? Quel pays organise le festival Frankofoni et quel artiste sénégalais a ouvert la Coup du monde de football 2002 en Corée du Sud ? Quelles nouveautés prépare TV5 ? Quelles sont les initiatives de développement en Afrique francophone ? À toutes ces questions peuvent s'en ajouter quantité d'autres dont la réponse se trouve dans cet ouvrage, la Francophonie dans le monde, 2002-2003, qui, comme le souligne dans sa préface le Secrétaire général de la Francophonie, Abdou Diouf, " doit être à la fois le reflet fidèle de la situation du français dans le monde et la carte orientée des réalités francophones dans tous les domaines : culture, démocratie, développement, technologies de l'information, médias... ". Ce livre poursuit donc un double objectif : - fournir aux spécialistes, mais aussi au grand public, des données quantitatives et qualitatives fiables sur la vie de la Francophonie et la vie en francophonie ; - servir d'espace de synthèse et de mise en perspective d'événements et de problématiques nouvelles qui sont au cœur des enjeux francophones dans la mondialisation.

Download or read book Elections and the Media in Post Conflict Africa written by Marie-Soleil Frere and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past ten years, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi, Chad, Central African Republic, Republic of Congo and Rwanda all organized pluralist elections in a post conflict context, having experienced an armed conflict which either interrupted or prevented democratization processes. These polls were organized with the support of the international community, which viewed them as a crucial step in the peace-building process. The local media's role throughout was supposed to be to ensure that an electoral process is actually 'free and fair' - a role that becomes even more crucial in countries where the media have previously being perceived as warmongers or peace-builders in the conflicts. Giving a voice to African journalists and analysing the work they have been publishing or broadcasting during these elections, African media specialist Marie-Soleil Frere explores if and how the local media fulfilled their duties. In doing so, the book reveals journalists' professional challenges at a time when much is expected from the media, as well as the intense political pressure faced that can make their work particularly difficult. Insightful and comprehensive, Elections and the Media in Post-Conflict Africa underlines both the importance and the fragility of the role of the media in a democratic system.
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 Blue White Red written by Alain Mabanckou and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-21 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Mabanckou dazzles with technical dexterity and emotional depth” in his debut novel, winner of the Grand Prix Littéraire de l’Afrique Noire (Publishers Weekly, starred review). This tale of wild adventure reveals the dashed hopes of Africans living between worlds. When Moki returns to his village from France wearing designer clothes and affecting all the manners of a Frenchman, Massala-Massala, who lives the life of a humble peanut farmer after giving up his studies, begins to dream of following in Moki’s footsteps. Together, the two take wing for Paris, where Massala-Massala finds himself a part of an underworld of out-of-work undocumented immigrants. After a botched attempt to sell metro passes purchased with a stolen checkbook, he winds up in jail and is deported. Blue White Red is a novel of postcolonial Africa where young people born into poverty dream of making it big in the cities of their former colonial masters. Alain Mabanckou’s searing commentary on the lives of Africans in France is cut with the parody of African villagers who boast of a son in the country of Digol. Praise for Alain Mabanckou and Blue White Red “Mabanckou counts as one of the most successful voices of young African literature.” —Internationales Literaturfestival Berlin “The African Beckett.” —The Economist “Blue White Red stands at the beginning of the author’s remarkable and multifaceted career as a novelist, essayist and poet . . . this debut novel shows much of his style and substance in remarkable ways . . . Dundy’s translation is excellent.” —Africa Book Club “Mabanckou’s provocative novel probes the many facets of the ‘migration adventure.’” —Booklist
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon written by Mark Dike DeLancey and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2010-05-03 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cameroon is a country endowed with a variety of climates and agricultural environments, numerous minerals, substantial forests, and a dynamic population. It is a country that should be a leader of Africa. Instead, we find a country almost paralyzed by corruption and poor management, a country with a low life expectancy and serious health problems, and a country from which the most talented and highly educated members of the population are emigrating in large numbers. Although Cameroon has made economic progress since independence, it has not been able to change the dependent nature of its economy. The economic situation combined with the dismal record of its political history, indicate that prospects for political stability, justice, and prosperity are dimmer than they have been for most of the country's independent existence. The fourth edition of the Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon has been updated to reflect advances in the study of Cameroon's history as well as to provide coverage of the years since the last edition. It relates the turbulent history of Cameroon through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 600 cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, events, places, organizations, and other aspects of Cameroon history from the earliest times to the present.

Download or read book Negotiating an Anglophone Identity written by Piet Konings and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a significant and timely book on the politics of belonging. It captures, with fascinating detail and insight, the current widespread disaffection with the sterile rhetoric of nation-building that has characterised much of postcolonial African politics. Until the liberation struggles of the 1990s, dictatorship only paid lip service to democracy with impunity, often by silencing those perceived to threaten national unity. Since then, individuals and groups have reactivated claims to rights and entitlements and nowhere more so than in Cameroon. The book articulates the experiences and predicaments of the country's Anglophone community trapped in a marriage of inconvenience pregnant with tensions and conflicts.
