Book Les migrants acteurs des changements politiques en Afrique

Download or read book Les migrants acteurs des changements politiques en Afrique written by Collectif and published by De Boeck Supérieur. This book was released on 2019-11-02 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'histoire politique récente de nombreux pays d'Afrique montre la fragilité et le caractère réversible des transitions démocratiques. Dans ce contexte, et alors que les projections démographiques africaines laissent entrevoir une intensification des mouvements migratoires, la question de la capacité des migrants à influer sur la politique de leur pays d'origine se pose avec acuité. L'ouvrage réunit une douzaine d'études de cas mobilisant à la fois des approches qualitatives, fondées sur l'étude ethnographique des pratiques ou des parcours politiques des migrants, et des enquêtes quantitatives originales menées par les auteurs de l'ouvrage. Les activités politiques transnationales - électorales et non électorales - des migrants sont tout d'abord étudiées à travers l'analyse des mobilisations d'émigrés égyptiens, camerounais, gabonais, congolais, maliens, sénégalais et tunisiens en Europe. L'influence politique que les migrants exercent sur leur famille ou communauté d'origine en diffusant des idées et en adoptant des comportements politiques acquis en migration est ensuite examinée, à travers les exemples du Mali, du Mozambique, du Cap-Vert, du Sénégal, du Maroc, de la Tunisie et de l'Égypte. L'ouvrage décrit enfin la capacité des normes et des ressources acquises en migration à modeler l'émergence de nouvelles élites politiques ou manières de faire en politique, et à modifier les relations de pouvoir existantes.

Book Strat  gies familiales  diasporas et investissements

Download or read book Strat gies familiales diasporas et investissements written by Elieth P. Eyebiyi and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-10 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À rebours des thèses soutenant que la migration contribue au développement ou que l'investissement dans le développement réduit la croissance de la migration « irrégulière », ce livre marque une rupture tonifiante avec les idées communes abondamment véhiculées dans la littérature sur les liens entre migration, mobilités et développement en Afrique. Il accorde un intérêt manifeste pour la plus grande part des mobilités africaines, lesquelles se situent à l'intérieur du continent, et à la formation des diasporas en dehors des frontières nationales et continentales. Cette considération conjointe des mobilités « Sud-Sud» et « Sud-Nord » permet de remettre en cause l'hypothèse selon laquelle il existe des différences fondamentales entre elles. Cet ouvrage examine les fluctuations ordinaires des mouvements de populations - à travers l'Afrique, comme dans le reste du monde -, qui étendent les familles, génèrent de nouvelles relations, reconfigurent les connexions économiques et politiques, et sont intégrées dans l'expérience quotidienne des millions de personnes qui y prennent part.

Book Rural Migration in the Near East and North Africa     Regional trends

Download or read book Rural Migration in the Near East and North Africa Regional trends written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Near East and North Africa (NENA) has always been affected and in many ways shaped by the high levels of human mobility. However, rural migration - or migration to, from and between rural areas - is often overlooked, despite its important ramifications for food security, agriculture, rural development and regional disparities. In the next decade, persistent poverty, climatic threats and increasing competition for natural resources may fuel greater levels of migration across NENA countries. This report was designed to provide policy makers, practitioners and development partners with an overview of the main challenges and opportunities of rural migration in the NENA region.

Book Morocco   s Africa Policy

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.

Book Lifestyle Migration

Download or read book Lifestyle Migration written by Michaela Benson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relatively affluent individuals from various corners of the globe are increasingly choosing to migrate, spurred on by the promise of a better and more fulfilling way of life within their destination. Despite its increasing scale, migration academics have yet to consolidate and establish lifestyle migration as a subfield of theoretical enquiry, until now. This volume offers a dynamic and holistic analysis of contemporary lifestyle migrations, exploring the expectations and aspirations which inform and drive migration alongside the realities of life within the destination. It also recognizes the structural conditions (and constraints) which frame lifestyle migration, laying the groundwork for further intellectual enquiry. Through rich empirical case studies this volume addresses this important and increasingly common form of migration in a manner that will interest scholars of mobility, migration, lifestyle and culture across the social sciences.

Book Migration between Africa and Europe

Download or read book Migration between Africa and Europe written by Cris Beauchemin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines migration between Africa and Europe, rather than just from Africa to Europe. Based on a unique socio-demographic survey carried out both in origin and destination countries (MAFE survey), it argues that return migration, circulation, and transnational practices are significant. Policy design must also take these factors into account. Comparing in a systematic way three flows of African migrants (from Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana and Senegal), this study offers a new view on the patterns, determinants, and family and economic effects of migration. By comparing six European countries (Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK), it shows that the dynamics of migration differ greatly in new vs. old destination countries. Based on a statistical analysis of life histories, this study provides a dynamic view of migration that will help readers better understand current trends as well as future trajectories. It will appeal to researchers, academics, practitioners, and others interested in taking a deeper look in (im)migration issues.

Book The Protestant Establishment

Download or read book The Protestant Establishment written by Edward Digby Baltzell and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic account of the traditional upper class in America traces its origins, lifestyles, and political and social attitudes from the time of Theodore Roosevelt to that of John F. Kennedy. Sociologist E. Digby Baltzell describes the problems of exclusion and prejudice within the community of white Anglo-Saxon Protestants (or WASPs, an acronym he coined) and predicts with amazing accuracy what will happen when this inbred group is forced to share privilege and power with talented members of minority groups. "The book may actually hold more interest today than when it was first published. New generations of readers can resonate all the more to this masterly and beautifully written work that provides sociological understanding of its engrossing subject."--Robert K. Merton, Columbia University "The documentation and illustration in the book make it valuable as social history, quite apart from any theoretical hypothesis. As such, it sketches the rise of the WASP penchant for country clubs, patriotic societies and genealogy. It traces the history of anti-Semitism in America. It describes the intellectual conflict between Social Darwinism and the environmental social science founded half a century ago by men like John Dewey, Charles A. Beard, Thorstein Veblen, Franz Boas and Frederick Jackson Turner. In short, The Protestant Establishment is a wide-ranging, intelligent and provocative book."--Alvin Toffler, New York Times Book Review "The Protestant Establishment has many virtues that lift it above the level we have come to expect in works of contemporary social and cultural analysis. It is clearly and convincingly written."--H. Stuart Hughes, New York Review of Books "What makes Baltzell's analysis of the evolution of the American elite superior to the accounts of earlier writers . . . is that he exposes the connections between high social status and political and economic power."--Dennis H. Wrong, Commentary

Book The Atlas of Environmental Migration

Download or read book The Atlas of Environmental Migration written by Dina Ionesco and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-11-25 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As climate change and extreme weather events increasingly threaten traditional landscapes and livelihoods of entire communities the need to study its impact on human migration and population displacement has never been greater. The Atlas of Environmental Migration is the first illustrated publication mapping this complex phenomenon. It clarifies terminology and concepts, draws a typology of migration related to environment and climate change, describes the multiple factors at play, explains the challenges, and highlights the opportunities related to this phenomenon. Through elaborate maps, diagrams, illustrations, case studies from all over the world based on the most updated international research findings, the Atlas guides the reader from the roots of environmental migration through to governance. In addition to the primary audience of students and scholars of environment studies, climate change, geography and migration it will also be of interest to researchers and students in politics, economics and international relations departments.

Book Strategies for Sustainable Financing of Secondary Education in Sub Saharan Africa

Download or read book Strategies for Sustainable Financing of Secondary Education in Sub Saharan Africa written by Keith M. Lewin and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2008-02-27 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investment in secondary schooling in Sub-Saharan Africa has been neglected since the World Conference on Education for All at Jomtien. The World Education Forum at Dakar began to recognize the growing importance of post-primary schooling for development. Only 25 percent of school-age children attend secondary school in the region--and fewer complete successfully, having consequences for gender equity, poverty reduction, and economic growth. As universal primary schooling becomes a reality, demand for secondary schools is increasing rapidly. Gaps between the educational levels of the labor force in Sub-Saharan Africa and other regions remain large. Girls are more often excluded from secondary schools than boys. Secondary schooling costs are high to both governments and households. This study explores how access to secondary education can be increased. Radical reforms are needed in low-enrollment countries to make secondary schooling more affordable and to provide more access to the majority currently excluded. The report identifies the rationale for increasing access, reviews the status of secondary education in Sub-Saharan Africa, charts the growth needed in different countries to reach different levels of participation, identifies the financial constraints on growth, and discusses the reforms needed to make access affordable. It concludes with a road map of ways to increase the probability that more of Africa's children will experience secondary schooling.
