Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comment repenser le rapport au travail et à l'entreprise au moment où l'Etat se retire des affaires en Afrique? Telle est la question à laquelle cet ouvrage tente de répondre. A contre-courant des idées reçues, l'auteur ouvre des pistes de réflexion et d'analyse qui constituent une véritable introduction au débat majeur sur la productivité du travail et la compétitivité des entreprises en Afrique à l'ère de l'économie mondialisée. En prenant en compte l'articulation des rapports entre le travail, le temps et les sociétés, cette étude pluridisciplinaire met en lumière l'importance primordiale des fondements sociaux de l'efficacité économique dans les pays africains. Au sud du Sahara, l'entreprise est, en effet, à la recherche de son identité dans des sociétés marquées par la mémoire douloureuse des travaux forcés, une mémoire faite de violence et d'insoumission. Les attitudes et les comportements de l'homme au travail s'enracinent dans cette mémoire dont le poids dans les lieux de production aide à comprendre les défis qui interpellent les entrepreneurs. " Entreprendre " n'a de sens que si cet acte témoigne de la capacité de l'entrepreneur de canaliser le dynamisme qui sous-tend l'imaginaire d'insubordination, ouverte ou déguisée, devant ce que les Africains appellent " le travail du Blanc ". Dès lors, " entreprendre " est un acte risqué qui n'est pas d'abord une affaire de recettes mais relève de l'art. De toute évidence, à l'heure où l'on privatise à tout prix, un ordre productif ne peut être efficace et acceptable aux yeux des travailleurs africains que si l'objectif de compétitivité est compatible avec les attentes et les intérêts des hommes et des femmes qui participent à la vie des entreprises.

Download or read book Economic Integration and Development written by Mordechai Elihau Kreinin and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intriguing and provocative results on the effects of the single European market and NAFTA make this short book worth a read, even if one is concerned only with how developing countries have been affected by regional trade agreements that do not include them. Peter J. Montiel, Journal of Regional Science This book is an excellent attempt to pin down the effects of regional economic integration on developing countries. . . it will prove to be a good guide for researchers and students of development economics working in the area of regional trading arrangements, and policymakers and governments which are in the process of exploring the possibilities of forming free trade areas. Pravakar Sahoo, Development Policy Review Students interested in either the methodological issues inherent in research on trade or on the economics of trading blocs in general would profit from the book. James J. Hentz, The European Journal of Development Research Questions related to the economics of regionalism became increasingly important beginning in the late 1980s, when regional groupings started to become very popular as a tool of commercial policy. The goal of this book is to address the question of whether or not regionalism in developed countries has truly benefited developing countries and to what degree regionalism among developing countries and between developed and developing countries will improve economic development prospects. Mordechai Kreinin and Michael Plummer consider the implications of the emerging global trend of economic regionalism for developing countries. The analysis focuses on the trade and investment effects of integration in developed countries on developing countries, as well as the ramifications of regional integration in the latter. After an extensive review of the theoretical and empirical literature pertinent to the economics of regionalism, the book considers the ex-post trade and direct-foreign-investment effects of the Single Market Program in Europe and NAFTA, followed by chapters on ASEAN and economic integration in Latin America, primarily MERCOSUR. The study suggests three salient conclusions. First, in designing preferential trading arrangements, developed countries should recognize and attempt to minimize the possible discriminating effect on developing countries. Second, the developing countries have an abiding interest in the success of WTO negotiations that would minimize the discrimination against them of regional groupings in Europe and North America. And third, any customs unions or free-trade areas among the developing countries themselves should be outward-looking if they are to enhance the welfare of developing countries. Economists and policy scholars, as well as readers interested in regionalism and economic development, will find this book a great resource.

Download or read book The CFA Franc Zone written by Ms.Anne Marie Gulde and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2008-04-02 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About one-third of countries covered by the IMF's African Department are members of the CFA franc zone. With most other countries moving away from fixed exchange rates, the issue of an adequate policy framework to ensure the sustainability of the CFA franc zone is clearly of interest to policymakers and academics. However, little academic research exists in the public domain. This book aims to fill this void by bringing together work undertaken in the context of intensified regional surveillance and highlighting the current challenges and the main policy requirements if the arrangements are to be carried forward. The book is based on empirical research by a broad group of IMF economists, with contributions from several outside experts.

Download or read book Global Development Finance 2006 written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "International private capital flows to developing countries reached a record net level of $491 billion in 2005. This surge in private capital flows offers national and international policy makers a major opportunity to bolster development efforts if they can successfully meet three challenges. The first is to ensure that more countries, especially poorer ones, enhance their access to developmentally beneficial international capital through improvements in their macroeconomic performance, investment climate, and use of aid. The second is to avoid sudden capital flow reversals by redressing global imbalances through policies that recognize the growing interdependencies between developed and developing countries' financial and exchange rate relations in the determination of global financial liquidity and asset price movements. And the third is to ensure that development finance, both official and private, is managed judiciously to meet the development goals of recipient countries while promoting greater engagement with global financial markets. These are the themes and concerns of this year's edition of Global Development Finance. Vol I. Anlaysis and Statistical Appendix reviews recent trends in financial flows to developing countries. Vol II. Summary and Country Tables* includes comprehensive data for 138 countries, as well as summary data for regions and income groups."
Download or read book African Cosmos written by Christine M. Kreamer and published by The Monacelli Press, LLC. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking scholarly publication, accompanying an exhibition organized by the National Museum of African Art, Smithsonian Institution, African Cosmos: Stellar Arts brings together exceptional works of art, dating from ancient times to the present, and essays by leading scholars and contemporary artists to consider African cultural astronomy: creativity and artistic practice in Africa as it is linked to celestial bodies and atmospheric phenomena. African concepts of the universe are intensely personal, placing human beings in relation to the earth and sky, and with the sun, moon, and stars. At the core of creation myths and the foundation of moral values, celestial bodies are often accorded sacred capacities and are part of the “cosmological map” that allows humans to chart their course through life.
