Book Les arm  es d Afrique de l Ouest face    la menace des groupes politico militaires

Download or read book Les arm es d Afrique de l Ouest face la menace des groupes politico militaires written by Boubacar Diallo * and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2019-03-25 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les armées des pays de l'Afrique de l'Ouest sont appelées de nos jours à intervenir dans des conflits qui dépassent les limites des frontières de leurs États. La problématique de la capacité de ces armées à faire face à la montée en puissance des groupes politico-militaires se pose avec acuité. L'auteur prouve que ces armées ne sont pas conçues et entraînées au combat asymétrique que livrent les groupes politico-militaires et démontre ensuite que la construction de la paix et de la sécurité dans cette sous-région de l'Afrique passe nécessairement par les alliances militaires, soutenues par une véritable politique de défense sous-régionale.

Download or read book Soldiers in Revolt written by Maggie Dwyer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soldiers in Revolt examines the understudied phenomenon of military mutinies in Africa. Through interviews with former mutineers in Sierra Leone, Burkina Faso, and The Gambia, the book provides a unique and intimate perspective on those who take the risky decision to revolt. This view from the lower ranks is key to comprehending the internal struggles that can threaten a military's ability to function effectively. Maggie Dwyer's detailed accounts of specific revolts are complemented by an original dataset of West African mutinies covering more than fifty years, allowing for the identification of trends. Her book shows the complex ways mutineers often formulate and interpret their grievances against a backdrop of domestic and global politics. Just as mutineers have been influenced by the political landscape, so too have they shaped it. Mutinies have challenged political and military leaders, spurred social unrest, led to civilian casualties, threatened peacekeeping efforts and, in extreme cases, resulted in international interventions. Soldiers in Revolt offers a better understanding of West African mutinies and mutinies in general, valuable not only for military studies but for anyone interested in the complex dynamics of African states.

Book Political Armies

Download or read book Political Armies written by Kees Koonings and published by Zed Books. This book was released on 2002-05 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the withdrawal of armies from direct rule in most countries herald an end to their role as actors in domestic politics? Has political intervention by the military been superseded? This comparative examination of the politicized armed forces looks at * the consequences of military rule for nation building and economic development * the effects of the passing of the Cold War and the rise of globalization on the political role of the military * the role of political armies in the consolidation of civil politics and democratic governance * the lessons for policy makers in global governance and post-conflict reconstruction The contributors build on successive theories about the role of the military in politics and look to the future. The most threatening scenario may be a proliferation of armed actors and the rise of privatized forces of law and order.

Book World Heritage and Sustainable Development

Download or read book World Heritage and Sustainable Development written by Peter Bille Larsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, the General Assembly of State Parties to the World Heritage Convention passed a ground-breaking Sustainable Development policy that seeks to bring the World Heritage system into line with the UN’s sustainable development agenda (UNESCO 2015). World Heritage and Sustainable Development provides a broad overview of the process that brought about the new policy and the implications of its enactment. The book is divided into four parts. Part I puts the policy in its historical and theoretical context, and Part II offers an analysis of the four policy dimensions on which the policy is based – environmental sustainability, inclusive social development, inclusive economic development and the fostering of peace and security. Part III presents perspectives from IUCN, ICOMOS and ICCROM – the three Advisory Bodies to the World Heritage Committee, and Part IV offers ‘case study’ perspectives on the practical implications of the policy. Contributions come from a wide range of experienced heritage professionals and practitioners who offer both ‘inside’ perspectives on the evolution of the policy and ‘outside’ perspectives on its implications. Combined, they present and analyse the main ideas, debates and implications of the policy change. This book is key reading for all heritage professionals interested in developing a better understanding of the new Sustainable Development policy. It is also essential reading for scholars and students working in the area.
