This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le livre traite le sujet des défis du développement durable en pays sous-développés. A 10 ans de l'échéance 2030 pour atteindre les Objectifs de Développement Durable (ODD) fixés au terme des Objectifs du Millénaire pour le Développement, il est à se demander si les pays du Tiers-Monde seront au rendez-vous. Comptes tenus des défis qu'ils doivent relever et de leur faible capacité en ressources financières et autres, je postule qu'il y a de grands obstacles que les pays sous-développés doivent surmonter avant de pouvoir atteindre un niveau de développement durable. Pour illustrer ces défis, j'offre une analyse de la situation d'Haiti et je formule des alternatives qui peuvent être adaptées au contexte des pays ayant les mêmes caractéristiques que Haiti. Le livre est classifié dans les catégories des Sciences Sociales et Economie. C'est un essai en Développement Economique et Communautaire qui traite des pays sous-développés et de leurs barrières politiques, économiques et sociales en route vers le développement durable. Il s'adresse aux étudiants en science du développement, spécialement ceux des pays sous-développés ou en développement, les spécialistes en développement économique et communautaire, les agences internationales de développement et tous ceux intéressés aux stratégies de réduction de la pauvreté.

This book was released on 2017-01-31T00:00:00-05:00 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le développement durable a fait couler beaucoup d'encre. Nombreux sont les acteurs sociaux, les institutions et les organisations qui s'en réclament. Cet ouvrage collectif est divisé en quatre parties : théorie et méthode, champs d'application, acteurs et institutions, aspects normatifs et éthiques. Les auteurs y examinent, d'une manière analytique et critique, les voies qu'a prises et que pourrait prendre le développement durable. Il reste encore beaucoup de chemin à faire. Les connaissances sur les problèmes d'environnement sont souvent incomplètes et pleines d'incertitudes ; les acteurs n'ont pas tous intégré dans leurs choix et décisions les nouvelles contraintes environnementales ; les décideurs publics et privés font face à une forte demande sociale pour un environnement de meilleure qualité ; un meilleur partage des ressources et de l'environnement est exigé. Les normes et les comportements, sans parler des idéologies et des politiques, répondent souvent à d'autres critères et doivent composer avec cette variété à laquelle s'ajoute le développement durable, qui peut remettre en cause certains de ces critères bien acceptés. Bref, tant pour la connaissance que pour l'action, le développement durable demeure un défi considérable mais, pour plusieurs, il représente aussi une promesse d'harmonie entre les êtres humains et de réconciliation avec la nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les conséquences imprévisibles de la pollution (réchauffement des glaciers, inondation, effritement de la couche d'ozone, élévation du niveau des océans) dues à la croissance du rejet des gaz, de la déforestationont favorisé l'émergence du concept du développement durable. Face à cette mise en danger de la planète, le progrès économique doit non seulement rechercher la satisfaction des besoins présents, mais intégrer les préoccupations des générations futures. La sauvegarde de cette solidarité intergénérationnelle nécessite une action commune ; sinon les efforts des uns (protecteurs) seront annulés par le laxisme des autres (pollueurs). Déjà fragilisée par la pauvreté, les conflits, la famine, la désertification, l'Afrique n'est pas moins sollicitée que les autres régions du monde. Représentant 2% des échanges mondiaux, l'Afrique sous ajustement structurel a adopté le libéralisme et ses Etats achèvent le processus de privatisation des entreprises publiques. Mais, qu'il s'agisse de la représentation spatiale, de la gestion foncière , de l'agriculture, de la justice, de l'éducation ou de la gouvernance, la Culture africaine concilie difficilement ses traditions avec la modernité. Si la création, la promotion et la gestion des ressources naturelles et humaines ne sont guère satisfaisantes en Afrique, c'est parce que le processus du développement est mis à mal par des obstacles exogènes et endogènes. En revanche, l'inventivité des populations, seul gage de leur survie, attend un soutien international à la mesure du défi de la renaissance africaine en élaboration. Mais l'Occident ne saisit pas assez que dans un monde sans frontière, la solidarité est l'intérêt bien partagé car, si l'Afrique continue à endurer d'aussi lamentables privatisations, il ne sera guère en sécurité dans son opulence.

Book excerpt: « Transformer les vies tout en préservant la planète », telle est l’ambition des 17 Objectifs de développement durable (ODD), cadre d’action à l’échelle planétaire adopté par tous les pays membres de l’ONU en septembre 2015. Universels, les ODD s’adressent autant aux pays du Nord qu’aux pays du Sud et concernent à la fois l’économie, le développement des sociétés et la protection de l’environnement. Lutte contre la pauvreté, égalité entre les sexes, accès de tous à une énergie propre et à une éducation de qualité, bonne santé et bien-être, villes durables, consommation et production responsables... c’est à un profond changement de modèle que nous invitent les ODD. Cette transformation passe par un dialogue renouvelé entre science, société et politique, et entraîne des mutations majeures dans les rapports Nord-Sud. Proposant une analyse critique de chacun des 17 Objectifs, de leurs interactions et des contradictions dont ils sont aussi porteurs, cet ouvrage réunit une soixantaine d’auteurs d’horizons divers : responsables d’institutions scientifiques, chercheurs, experts, acteurs du développement... Cette approche plurielle offre différentes clés de lecture et met en avant l’importance de la recherche pour comprendre les enjeux des ODD, mesurer l’avancement de leur mise en œuvre et concevoir, en lien avec la société, des solutions innovantes. Accessible à un large public, il apporte un éclairage inédit, à la fois critique et documenté, sur les grands défis de l’Agenda 2030 pour le développement durable.

Book excerpt: Selon le dernier rapport de l'Observatoire de la langue française dans le monde de l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), publie en novembre 2014, le monde francophone compte un milliard d'habitants, soit environ 14 % de la population mondiale. Même en réduisant le nombre de pays à ceux qui ont le français pour langue officielle et à ceux qui connaissent une pratique significative de la langue française (33 pays constituant l'Espace francophone), l'ensemble représente encore 6,5 % de la population mondiale et 8,4 % du PIB mondial. Plus de 50 % de la population francophone se situent en Afrique ; le nombre de francophones est donc susceptible de croître plus vite que la moyenne mondiale. A une époque où la France s'interroge sur les voies d'une relance de son économie languissante, il y a là un enjeu majeur. C'est pourquoi il est nécessaire, dans une perspective de développement durable. de revenir sur les héritages historiques et les défis actuels au sein du monde francophone, notamment en Afrique et en Asie. Tel est l'objet de ce livre : comprendre les forces qui sous-tendent la mise en valeur des ressources naturelles et la réalisation des grandes infrastructures qui lui sont nécessaires.

Download or read book Entrepreneurship and Economic Growth written by David B. Audretsch and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-04-27 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By serving as a conduit for knowledge spillovers, entrepreneurship is the missing link between investments in new knowledge and economic growth. The knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship provides not just an explanation of why entrepreneurship has become more prevalent as the factor of knowledge has emerged as a crucial source for comparative advantage, but also why entrepreneurship plays a vital role in generating economic growth. Entrepreneurship is an important mechanism permeating the knowledge filter to facilitate the spill over of knowledge and ultimately generate economic growth.

Download or read book Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict in Indonesia written by Jacques Bertrand and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1998, which marked the end of the thirty-three-year New Order regime under President Suharto, there has been a dramatic increase in ethnic conflict and violence in Indonesia. In his innovative and persuasive account, Jacques Bertrand argues that conflicts in Maluku, Kalimantan, Aceh, Papua, and East Timur were a result of the New Order's narrow and constraining reinterpretation of Indonesia's 'national model'. The author shows how, at the end of the 1990s, this national model came under intense pressure at the prospect of institutional transformation, a reconfiguration of ethnic relations, and an increase in the role of Islam in Indonesia's political institutions. It was within the context of these challenges, that the very definition of the Indonesian nation and what it meant to be Indonesian came under scrutiny. The book sheds light on the roots of religious and ethnic conflict at a turning point in Indonesia's history.

Download or read book Strategic Management Control written by Fredrik Nilsson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic management control differs from traditional management control in several important respects. First, it supports both strategy formulation and strategy implementation. Second, it is to a large extent based on non-financial information. Third, it deals with both the long and short term and supports not only tactical, but also strategic and operational decision-making. Fourth, and perhaps most importantly, strategic management control is designed for, and adapted to, each organisation’s unique strategies. In this context, the book emphasises the importance of dialogues. The authors argue that it is unwise to assume that decisions taken at the top of the organisation will automatically be executed and obeyed throughout the organisation. Instead, they highlight the importance of dialogue and collaboration, both between hierarchical levels within the organisation and between actors in the network. Such communication is essential to making management control processes both strategic and successful. The book follows a clear structure, from the design of strategies to the everyday evaluation and discussion of performance and results. Though primarily intended for professionals working in strategy and management control at organisations, it will also benefit students and academics interested in strategy and management control.

Download or read book Speech to Speech Translation written by Yutaka Kidawara and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the readers with retrospective and prospective views with detailed explanations of component technologies, speech recognition, language translation and speech synthesis. Speech-to-speech translation system (S2S) enables to break language barriers, i.e., communicate each other between any pair of person on the glove, which is one of extreme dreams of humankind. People, society, and economy connected by S2S will demonstrate explosive growth without exception. In 1986, Japan initiated basic research of S2S, then the idea spread world-wide and were explored deeply by researchers during three decades. Now, we see S2S application on smartphone/tablet around the world. Computational resources such as processors, memories, wireless communication accelerate this computation-intensive systems and accumulation of digital data of speech and language encourage recent approaches based on machine learning. Through field experiments after long research in laboratories, S2S systems are being well-developed and now ready to utilized in daily life. Unique chapter of this book is end-2-end evaluation by comparing system’s performance and human competence. The effectiveness of the system would be understood by the score of this evaluation. The book will end with one of the next focus of S2S will be technology of simultaneous interpretation for lecture, broadcast news and so on.

Download or read book Anthropology and Development written by Jean-Pierre Oliver De-Sardan and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book re-establishes the relevance of mainstream anthropological (and sociological) approaches to development processes and simultaneously recognizes that contemporary development ought to be anthropology‘s principal area of study. Professor de Sardan argues for a socio-anthropology of change and development that is a deeply empirical, multidimensional, diachronic study of social groups and their interactions. The Introduction provides a thought-provoking examination of the principal new approaches that have emerged in the discipline during the 1990s. Part I then makes clear the complexity of social change and development, and the ways in which socio-anthropology can measure up to the challenge of this complexity. Part II looks more closely at some of the leading variables involved in the development process, including relations of production; the logics of social action; the nature of knowledge; forms of mediation; and ‘political‘ strategies.

Download or read book Development Brokers and Translators written by David Lewis and published by Kumarian Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Includes essays by some of today’s leading anthropologists working in development studies. * Furthers the goals of both poverty reduction and ethnographic research by detailing their contributions to and reliance on each another. * Provides a practical and theoretical resource for development agencies, policy makers, and students wishing to access a variety of case studies and new analytical approaches. The success of any international development agency depends on an understanding of the ways in which a community and individuals relate to ideas and resources. David Lewis and David Mosse have brought together a number of anthropologists engaged in development research to show how ethnography can be an indispensable tool for understanding these complex and dynamic relationships. The world that this ethnography of development reveals does not divide neatly into the developers and the developed, perpetrators and victims, domination and resistance, or the incompatible rationalities of scientific and indigenous knowledge. It is a world in which interests and practices are always hybrids, where the realms of reason and the real world are not neatly separate, and in which rational policy representations frequently conceal the messiness of practice that precedes the ideas and technologies of development. The wealth of new ideas offered in this collection will be especially valuable to graduate students in anthropology and development studies, but also to undergraduates and those working in development organizations who wish to run more effective operations on every level. Other contributors: Tim Bending, Bina Desai, Amity Doolittle, Pierre-Yves Le Meur, Peter Luetchford, Wiebe Nauta, Sergio Rosendo, Benedetta Rossi, Oscar Salemink, and Celayne Heaton Shrestha.

Download or read book Small Business in the Modern Economy written by Zoltan J. Acs and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1996-01-30 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small Business in the Modern Economy d is a collection of essays based on the 1994- F. de Vries lectures held at the Erasmus University, Rotterdam. The authors of this volume discuss the changing role of small firms in the modern economy from different angles: * Bo Carllson pays attention to the introduction of flexible automation and how this change of technology has resulted in a decrease in the size of firms * Zoltan Acs argues that small firms play an important role in the experimental phase of innovations in product and access. * Roy Thurik mentions in his contribution a series of trade-offs between favourable and negative effect of economies of scale and scope. The authors provide statistical information about the production activities of large and small firms. The evidence points without exception in the same direction. They agree on the conclusion that in the recent years the small firm has become more important as employer and producer.

Download or read book Powers of Exclusion written by Derek Hall and published by . This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions of who can access land and who is excluded from it underlie many recent social and political conflicts in Southeast Asia. Powers of Exclusion examines the key processes through which shifts in land relations are taking place, notably state land allocation and provision of property rights, the dramatic expansion of areas zoned for conservation, booms in the production of export-oriented crops, the conversion of farmland to post-agrarian uses, “intimate” exclusions involving kin and co-villagers, and mobilizations around land framed in terms of identity and belonging. In case studies drawn from seven countries, the authors find that four “powers of exclusion”—regulation, the market, force and legitimation—have combined to shape land relations in new and often surprising ways. Land debates are often presented as a conflict between market-oriented land use with full private property rights on the one side, and equitable access, production for subsistence, and respect for custom on the other. The authors step back from these debates to point out that any productive use of land requires the exclusion of some potential users, and that most projects for transforming land relations are thus accompanied by painful dilemmas. Rather than counterposing “exclusion” to “inclusion,” the book argues that attention must be paid to who is excluded, how, why, and with what consequences. Powers of Exclusion is a path-breaking book that draws on insights from multiple disciplines to map out the new contours of struggles for land in Southeast Asia. The volume provides a framework for analyzing the dilemmas of land relations across the Global South and beyond.

Download or read book The Craft of Social Anthropology written by A. L. Epstein and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1978-01-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In social anthropology, as in other branches of science, there is a close relationship between research methods and theoretical problems. Advancing theory and shifts in orientation go hand in hand with the development of techniques and mutually influence one another. If the development of modern social anthropology owes much to its established tradition of fieldwork, it is also clear that the procedures that anthropological fieldwork should follow in the laboratory can never be prescribed in absolute terms nor become wholly standardized. Yet as anthropological analysis is refined, it becomes increasingly important that students in the field be aware of the need to collect basic kinds of data, and know how to set about doing so. In this volume, anthropologists who have worked closely together for many years at the Rhodes- Livingstone Institute for Social Research, Lusaka, and/or in the Department of Social Anthropology, University of Manchester, discuss within a common framework modern fieldwork methods as tools for examining a number of problems of current anthropological interest. Elizabeth Colson, J. Clyde Mitchell, and J. A. Barnes stress aspects of the role of quantification in social anthropology and indicate a range of problems that can be illuminated by the use of quantitative techniques. Equal importance is attached by all contributors to the collection and analysis of detailed case material, a topic explored in J. van Velsen's essay. A. L. and T. S. Epstein, V. W. Turner, and M. G. Marwick consider the kinds of data relevant to anthropological discussion in the fields of economics, law, ritual, and witchcraft, and the methods by which such material may be collected. The volume is introduced by Max Gluckman, former director of the Rhodes-Livingstone Institute and former head of the department of social anthropology and sociology, University of Manchester.
