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 The Rule of Law in International Affairs written by Ian Brownlie and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 1998-08-26 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume consists of a carefully edited version of the General Course on Public International Law delivered at the Hague Academy of International Law to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of the United Nations. The author brings to them not only his background of academic distinction, but his experience as a practitioner concerned with major international legal issues. The rule of law in international affairs is a question of perennial concern but it is of greater moment these days for a number of reasons. The active agenda of the Security Council and its relative solidarity creates a paradox. Its increased political power is a source of hope but the modalities of the exercise of power present problems of principle and of legal concern. Another area of concern is the International Court, which has had a successful record since the early eighties and provides one of the guarantees of the maintenance of legality. Recent successes of the Court include the effective resolution of the territorial dispute between Chad and Libya. The general level of compliance with its decisions by States is impressive. Yet its success is matched not by encouragement and enhancement of its facilities but by United Nations financial constraints which hinder its work and, ultimately, may threaten its independence in relation to the political organs of the United Nations.

Download or read book Humanitarianism and the Quantification of Human Needs written by Joël Glasman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-06 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a historical inquiry into the quantification of needs in humanitarian assistance. Needs are increasingly seen as the lowest common denominator of humanity. Standard definitions of basic needs, however, set a minimalist version of humanity – both in the sense that they are narrow in what they compare, and that they set a low bar for satisfaction. The book argues that we cannot understand humanitarian governance if we do not understand how humanitarian agencies made human suffering commensurable across borders in the first place. The book identifies four basic elements of needs: As a concept, as a system of classification and triage, as a material apparatus, and as a set of standards. Drawing on a range of archival sources, including the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), Médecins sans Frontières (MSF), and the Sphere Project, the book traces the concept of needs from its emergence in the 1960s right through to the present day, and United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s call for “evidence-based humanitarianism.” Finally, the book assesses how the international governmentality of needs has played out in a recent humanitarian crisis, drawing on field research on Central African refugees in the Cameroonian borderland in 2014–2016. This important historical inquiry into the universal nature of human suffering will be an important read for humanitarian researchers and practitioners, as well as readers with an interest in international history and development.

Download or read book Grands services publics written by Jean-François Lachaume and published by Dalloz-Sirey. This book was released on 2000 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le service public constitue la notion centrale de l'activité administrative et du droit administratif. D'abord, sous ce vocable, il est possible de regrouper la quasi-totalité des activités par lesquelles, directement ou sous leur contrôle, les personnes publiques assurent la satisfaction des besoins d'intérêt général de la population. Ensuite, c'est à partir de cette notion qu'ont été construits et légitimés le droit administratif français et, à bien des égards, la compétence de la juridiction administrative. Cet ouvrage étudie donc non seulement la place du service public au sein du droit administratif, mais également le régime juridique des services publics de leur naissance à leur disparition. Tout en mettant en évidence ce que l'on a appelé, ces dernières années, le service public " à la française ", les auteurs ont intégré dans les développements les éléments en provenance du droit et de la jurisprudence communautaires. Par la vision d'ensemble qu'il s'efforce de donner de cette notion-phare de l'activité publique et du droit administratif, cet ouvrage s'adresse, bien sûr aux étudiants en droit et en AES, à ceux des Instituts d'études politiques, des Instituts de préparation à l'administration générale, et à toute personne préparant un concours administratif. Les décideurs publics d'Etat et locaux, ainsi que les fonctionnaires y trouveront également diverses données juridiques leur permettant d'orienter leurs décisions et leur action.

Download or read book Le service public written by Association française pour la recherche en droit administratif and published by Dalloz-Sirey. This book was released on 2014-09-03 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fidèle à ses traditions, l'AFDA a consacré son colloque annuel 2013, organisé à l'Université de Strasbourg, à l'un des thèmes les plus fondamentaux du droit administratif, le service public. Mais l'habitude est désormais prise d'observer les thèmes fondateurs du droit administratif sous un angle novateur et résolument moderne. Réputé construit comme discipline juridique grâce à l'apport de célèbres doctrines, le service public ne s'est jamais départi de sa faculté de véhiculer de fortes valeurs sociales. Bien que le droit public français ne se conçoive pas sans le service public, il existe des Etats qui se sont passés de l'idée même de service public et d'autres qui ont développé une autre approche de la notion. Malgré ses capacités d'adaptation et de résistances, le service public n'en subit pas moins de puissantes mises à l'épreuve, qu'elles proviennent, très diversement d'ailleurs, de l'analyse économique du droit, du droit de l'Union ou encore de la réforme de l'Etat. Généralement centré sur l'usager, le service public pose naturellement aujourd'hui la question de son accès à certaines catégories de la population. Les modes de gestion connaissent une diversification sans précédent et sont désormais intimement liées au droit de la commande publique. En ces temps de disette budgétaire, le financement du service public est au coeur de l'actualité, tant du point de vue du renouvellement des méthodes de financement que de leur confrontation au droit de la concurrence et de la mise en concurrence. Enfin, le statut des biens affectés au service public fait l'objet d'incontournables développements récents. Non seulement le service public est en soi une notion appelant l'application d'un régime juridique particulier, mais il a également développé de fortes relations d'attraction/répulsion avec d'autres notions du droit administratif, ce qui explique son caractère central et fondateur. A-t-on dépassé l'antagonisme police administrative / service public ? La fonction publique est-elle toujours dédiée exclusivement aux activités de service public ? Le service public est-il l'objet de tous les contrats administratifs ? Entre tradition et modernité, au coeur de plusieurs disciplines sociales, résistant aux lois du marché tout en s'y adaptant, le service public reste et restera un éternel sujet d'études pour les juristes du XXIe siècle.
