Download or read book Strat gies du d veloppement durable written by Stéphane Leyens and published by Presses universitaires de Namur. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deux mouvements ont contribué à l'émergence de l’idée de développement durable. Le premier a trait à la remise en question, dès la fin des années soixante, des politiques occidentales de développement au Sud. Le second exprime des craintes quant à l’impact de l’activité humaine sur l’environnement naturel. Tous deux proposent une même critique du modèle de développement compris comme croissance économique libérale: afin de tenir ses promesses, le développement économique doit aller de pair avec un souci de justice sociale globale et avec une préoccupation forte pour l’environnement naturel dans lequel tout développement humain prend place. C’est précisément cette triple contrainte que le concept de développement durable exprime et tente de faire coexister. Après vingt ans de réflexion et de projets, il apparaît que les trois exigences du développement durable ne peuvent être satisfaites également et simultanément. Au programme unifié, mais idéalisé, se substituent, dans les faits, des stratégies plus spécifiques selon les priorités accordées aux trois objectifs du développement durable. Le véritable débat concerne les stratégies les plus adéquates pour concilier nos différentes intuitions relatives au développement économique, au respect de notre environnement naturel et à la justice sociale. Ainsi, à l’heure où le projet ambitieux du développement durable est affaibli par son flou sémantique mais aussi par la multiplicité de ses acteurs, aux orientations et desseins parfois incompatibles, ce livre propose des éléments d’analyse critique de différentes stratégies de développement durable et vise à cerner les enjeux majeurs d’un projet qui, malgré ses imperfections et ses contradictions, garde toute sa légitimité d’être, et d’être pensé. Ont contribué à cet ouvrage: Christian Arnsperger, Christian Coméliau, Alexandra de Heering, Jean-Marie Harribey, Bertrand Hespel, Stéphane Leyens, Charlotte Luyckx, Xavier Thunis, Franck-Dominique Vivien et Edwin Zaccai.

Download or read book Ressources naturelles et d veloppement durable dans les conomies subsahariennes written by Gisèle Tomo and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les ressources naturelles sont des actifs prélevées dans la nature pour, dans la plupart des cas améliorer les conditions d'existence de la population. En Afrique Subsaharienne, les économies sont dominées par l'exploitation de ces ressources naturelles qui contribuent à la formation de la richesse nationale. Cette exploitation des ressources naturelles devrait donc permettre l'amélioration du bien-être des générations présentes sans compromettre la possibilité pour les générations futuresd'améliorer le leur. Ainsi, les ressources naturelles devraient être exploitées de telle sorte que le patrimoine représenté par l'environnement ne soit pas altéré et que les populations vivant grâce aux ressources naturelles voient leurs conditions d'existence s'améliorer aujourd'hui et dans le futur. Le développement durable est donc la voie qui doit guider les stratégies de développement des pays de l'Afrique Subsaharienne qui sont généreusement dotées en ressources naturelles. Celui-ci en effet revêt une triple dimension, à savoir économique, sociale et écologique. Il est donc important d'examiner la relation entre ressources naturelles et développement durable, car en effet les ressources naturelles doivent permettre aux populations de connaître un développement durable. Si certains pays, bien que pourvus en ressources naturelles n'ont pas apporté des conditions d'existence meilleures à la population par le passé, de par l'observation des indicateurs de développement qui sont faibles, pour le futur, il est important de renverser la tendance. C'est à ce titre que les stratégies doivent être mobilisées en Afrique Subsaharienne. L'examen du cas de certains pays généreusement dotés en ressources naturelles montre que celles-ci devraient être une source de croissanceendogène pour envisager un développement durable. Dès lors, la bonne gouvernance, la meilleure répartition des recettes issues des ressources naturelles et l'apport de partenaires extérieurs sont importants. L'Union Européenne en tant que partenaire et bailleur de fonds a un rôle à jouer pour que les économies de l'Afrique au sud du Sahara se mettent sur le sentier du développement durable, à partir de leur atout qui réside en la possession de ressources naturelles. A ce titre la coopération financière entre autre doit donner de meilleurs résultats, afin que l'on puisse établir une relation entre financement et développement durable en Afrique Subsaharienne.

Download or read book Social Housing in Europe written by Kathleen Scanlon and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-09-29 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All countries aim to improve housing conditions for their citizens but many have been forced by the financial crisis to reduce government expenditure. Social housing is at the crux of this tension. Policy-makers, practitioners and academics want to know how other systems work and are looking for something written in clear English, where there is a depth of understanding of the literature in other languages and direct contributions from country experts across the continent. Social Housing in Europe combines a comparative overview of European social housing written by scholars with in-depth chapters written by international housing experts. The countries covered include Austria, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, The Netherlands and Sweden, with a further chapter devoted to CEE countries other than Hungary. The book provides an up-to-date international comparison of social housing policy and practice. It offers an analysis of how the social housing system currently works in each country, supported by relevant statistics. It identifies European trends in the sector, and opportunities for innovation and improvement. These country-specific chapters are accompanied by topical thematic chapters dealing with subjects such as the role of social housing in urban regeneration, the privatisation of social housing, financing models, and the impact of European Union state aid regulations on the definitions and financing of social housing.

Download or read book Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century written by Bethwell A. Ogot and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The result of years of work by scholars from all over the world, The UNESCO General History of Africa reflects how the different peoples of Africa view their civilizations and shows the historical relationships between the various parts of the continent. Historical connections with other continents demonstrate Africa's contribution to the development of human civilization. Each volume is lavishly illustrated and contains a comprehensive bibliography. This fifth volume of the acclaimed series covers the history of the continent from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the close of the eighteenth century in which two themes emerge: first, the continuing internal evolution of the states and cultures of Africa during this period second, the increasing involvement of Africa in external trade--with major but unforeseen consequences for the whole world. In North Africa, we see the Ottomans conquer Egypt. South of the Sahara, some of the larger, older states collapse, and new power bases emerge. Traditional religions continue to coexist with both Christianity (suffering setbacks) and Islam (in the ascendancy). Along the coast, particularly of West Africa, Europeans establish a trading network which, with the development of New World plantation agriculture, becomes the focus of the international slave trade. The immediate consequences of this trade for Africa are explored, and it is argued that the long-term global consequences include the foundation of the present world-economy with all its built-in inequalities.

Download or read book Understanding Civil War Africa written by Paul Collier and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is part of a two volume set which builds upon previous World Bank research into the causes and characteristics of civil war onset, particularly the model developed by Paul Collier and Anke Hoeffler regarding the relationship between violent political conflict and economic development. This volume considers the variables identified in the Collier-Hoeffler model and applies them to a set of case studies from a range of African countries, and then goes on to trace the process of conflict escalation in order to draw conclusions as to why civil war is likely to occur. The publication seeks to advance theoretical and empirical knowledge of civil war, in order to help further the objective of developing appropriate policy interventions. Another volume with case studies from a range of non-African countries is available separately (ISBN 0821360493).
