This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette thèse propose une analyse de l'évolution des élus locaux depuis l'avènement de la décentralisation de 1982. Comment l'évolution sociologique de ces élus locaux, que ce soit en termes d'âge, de sexe ou de profession s'est-elle traduite depuis ces vingt dernières années ? Peut-on conclure à un rajeunissement des élus ainsi qu'à la féminisation du personnel politique local. Cette évolution aboutit-elle à une meilleure représentation des populations ? Notre étude repose sur un champ d'observation qui est le département de Lot-et-Garonne. Rural et en pleine voie de changement économique et donc sociologique, le Lot-et-Garonne est en ces points un département représentatif. Dans une approche que l'on peut situer entre la sociologie électorale et l'anthropologie politique, l'étude des systèmes d'acteurs politiques locaux est abordée comme la conséquence directe de l'impact des lois de décentralisation sur le profil du personnel politique local. La thèse est structurée en trois parties : 1 - l'analyse des effets de la décentralisation sur le pouvoir local afin de connaitre les origines de l'évolution du profil des élus locaux. Cette partie recueille des entretiens avec les élus locaux ; 2 - l'analyse de l'évolution sociologique des élus Lot-et-Garonnais depuis le mouvement décentralisateur de 1982 à nos jours. La mise en comparaison des données recueillies avec d'autres données régionales et nationales permet de mesurer l'exploitation qui peut être faite sur d'autres échelles de grandeur. 3 - l'analyse des systèmes d'action des deux principaux leaderships Lot-et-Garonnais afin de prendre toute l'ampleur de l'évolution sociologique du personnel politique local sur le pouvoir local. La confrontation entre ces trois parties conduit à émettre des hypothèses sur le processus de recrutement des élus et sur la réelle représentation des populations. Objectif de départ de la décentralisation, la démocratie représentative reste un point incontournable des réformes à venir.

Download or read book Democratization in Africa written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global movement toward democracy, spurred in part by the ending of the cold war, has created opportunities for democratization not only in Europe and the former Soviet Union, but also in Africa. This book is based on workshops held in Benin, Ethiopia, and Namibia to better understand the dynamics of contemporary democratic movements in Africa. Key issues in the democratization process range from its institutional and political requirements to specific problems such as ethnic conflict, corruption, and role of donors in promoting democracy. By focusing on the opinion and views of African intellectuals, academics, writers, and political activists and observers, the book provides a unique perspective regarding the dynamics and problems of democratization in Africa.
Download or read book The New Conditionality written by Jeremy Gould and published by Zed Books. This book was released on 2005-09 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty Reduction Strategies (PRSs) are the new buzzwords in development aid. Some 70 countries have already elaborated them in response to World Bank and bilateral aid agency requirements. This book presents detailed, field-level research on the application of PRSs in three countries: Tanzania, Vietnam and Honduras It describes the changing relations between the governments of these countries, donor agencies, and civic organizations that have taken part in formulating the new generation of PRSs. Poverty Reduction Strategies run up against a central paradox: in giving decisive policymaking powers to external agencies, the very process of drawing up development strategies to prioritise reducing poverty can gravely undermine the consolidation of democratic forces, structures and ideas in developing countries.
Download or read book Rural Racism written by Neil Chakraborti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural issues are currently attracting unprecedented levels of interest, with the debates surrounding the future of 'traditional' rural customs and practice becoming a significant political concern. However, the problem of racism in rural areas has been largely overlooked by academics, practitioners and researchers who have sought almost exclusively to develop an understanding of racism in urban contexts. This book aims to address this oversight by examining notions of ethnic identity, 'otherness' and racist victimisation that have tended to be marginalised from traditional rural discourse.

Download or read book The Aid Effect written by David Mosse and published by Pluto Press. This book was released on 2005-10-20 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today international development policy is converging around ideas of neoliberal reform, democratisation and poverty reduction. What does this mean for the local and international dimensions of aid relationships?The Aid Effect demonstrates the fruitfulness of an ethnographic approach to aid, policy reform and global governance. The contributors provide powerful commentary on hidden processes, multiple perspectives or regional interests behind official aid policy discourses. The book raises important questions concerning the systematic social effects of aid relationships, the nature of sovereignty and the state, and the working of power inequalities built through the standardisations of a neoliberal framework. The contributors take on new challenges to anthropology presented by a ‘global aid architecture’ which no longer operates through discrete projects but has moved on to sector wide approaches, budgetary support and other macro-level instruments of development; but they remain faithful to the fieldwork methodology that is anthropology’s strength and the source of rare insight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential guide to the role of women in the political life of France under the Fifth Republic. It shows that the unique political history of France ensures that it remains an important and exceptional example of women's participation in the politics of a Western European country. Its study is essential in order to have a complete understanding of women and politics today. This is the first English language study to capture the new enthusiasm engendered by the campaign for parity in 1992 which produced constitutional reform and a record number of deputies and ministers.
Download or read book The Government and Politics of France written by Andrew Knapp and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Government and Politics of France has been the leading textbook on French politics for over a generation, and continues to provide students with a comprehensive and incisive introduction to the intricacies of French politics and government. This edition updates every chapter, with the addition of a new chapter on France and Europe. Recent events necessitate a new edition, particularly the 2002 elections and the growing interpenetration of France and the EU in student programmes, as well as in the real world. Whether covering the shifting balance within France's two-headed executive, the paradoxes of the French party politics, the power and fragmentation of France's administration, the growing assertiveness of French local government, or the newly visible world of the judiciary, The Government and Politics of France has always sought to confront established paradigms with the complex and untidy reality of French politics at the grass roots.
Download or read book Women Religion and the Gift written by Morny Joy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the special dynamics of women and their close relationships with the gift in both past and contemporary religious settings. Written from a cross-cultural perspective, it challenges depictions of women’s roles in religion where they have been relegated to compliance with specifically designated gendered attributes. The different chapters contest the resultant stereotypes that deny women agency. Each chapter describes women as engaged in an aspect of religion, from that of ritual specialists, to benefactors and patrons, or even innovators. The volume examines topics such as sainthood and sacrifice so as to refine these ideas in constructive ways that do not devalue women. It also examines the meaning of the term “gift” today, embracing the term in both figurative and literal ways. Such a collection of diverse women’s writings and activities provides a significant contribution to their quest for recognition, and also suggests ways this can be understood and realized today.
Download or read book Neoliberal Africa written by Professor Graham Harrison and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neoliberalism has shaped African development for nearly thirty years. As such, it is not an economic 'shock' or a 'structural adjustment', but rather a historic shift in Africa's development politics and policy. This book explores the ways in which African countries have experienced the neoliberal project, highlighting how this project has gone beyond economic liberalisation and towards a bolder social transformation. As an ideology, neoliberalism projects an end-point not simply of a market economy but of a market society. After thirty years of projects, aid disbursement, technical assistance, and conditionality, this book maps out the extent to which African states have cleaved to neoliberal directives. It suggests that neoliberal 'progress' in Africa is notably limited in spite of the resources behind it and the lack of alternatives to it.
