This book was released on 2022-05-16 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Afrique subsaharienne francophone, depuis les années 90, vit des phases de transition entre des « formes politiques » de parti unique ou de démocratie limitée vers des « formes politiques » de pluripartisme ou de démocratie. La fonction du régime de transition qui est de permettre la libéralisation des institutions politiques de l'État, est facilitée par l'adoption de régimes de type parlementaire. Cependant, une analyse plus approfondie révèle que si tous ces régimes adoptent les caractéristiques « externes » du régime parlementaire, « la forme politique » n'est pas la même. Aussi, il n'y a pas de régime de transition, mais plutôt un « modèle constitutionnel » qui reprend partout les mêmes éléments, sans en tirer les mêmes conséquences. L'actualité politique récente en Afrique subsaharienne rend l'analyse de Guy-Fabrice Holo, publiée en deux volumes, plus actuelle que jamais et l'inscrit dans un cycle de mutations sociopolitiques qui n'est probablement qu'à ses débuts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conçue comme l'évolution progressive d'un régime politique souvent autoritaire vers la démocratie, la transition démocratique est une expression générique qui désigne des situations très diverses. Supposée être amorcée dans les États d'Afrique subsaharienne francophone en même temps que les indépendances de 1960, ce phénomène résulterait de la transposition par les anciennes colonies de la constitution française de la Ve République. Mais la simple importation de cette norme, suivie de son application pendant une période réduite d'un quart de siècle, suffit-elle à elle seule pour qualifier les pays concernés de démocratiques ? A mi-chemin entre le droit constitutionnel, l'histoire et les sciences politiques, cette étude comparative porte sur les exemples sénégalais et gabonais. Ayant d'abord pour but de démontrer la pluralité du processus de démocratisation en Afrique subsaharienne francophone, ces travaux mettent ensuite en exergue les efforts consentis depuis les indépendances à cette fin. Analysant les textes constitutionnels et la pratique institutionnelle, ils dressent un état des lieux critique de la situation dans ces deux pays.

Download or read book France in Black Africa written by Francis Terry McNamara and published by U.S. Government Printing Office. This book was released on 1989 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When, in 1960, France granted independence to its colonies in West and Central Africa-an empire covering an area the size of the contiguous United States-the French still intended to retain influence in Africa. Through a system of accords with these newly independent African nations, based upon ties naturally formed over the colonial years, France has succeeded for three decades in preserving its position in African affairs. The course of Franco-African relations in the near future, though, is less than certain. In this book, Ambassador Francis Terry McNamara outlines France's acquisition and administration of its Black African empire and traces the former colonies' paths to independence. Drawing upon that background, the ambassador examines the structure of post-independence Franco-African relations and recent strains on those relations, especially African economic crises and the French tendency to focus on Europe. Because of those strains, he suggests, France alone may be unable to support its former dependencies much longer. He believes that long-term solutions to African problems will have to involve international organizations like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund as well as other nations such as the United States and France's European partners. -- From Foreword.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Berbers, also known as Imazighen, are the ancient inhabitants of North Africa, but rarely have they formed an actual kingdom or separate nation state. Ranging anywhere between 15-50 million, depending on how they are classified, the Berbers have influenced the culture and religion of Roman North Africa and played key roles in the spread of Islam and its culture in North Africa, Spain, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Taken together, these dynamics have over time converted to redefine the field of Berber identity and its socio-political representations and symbols, making it an even more important issue in the 21st century. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Berbers contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 200 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, places, events, institutions, and aspects of culture, society, economy, and politics. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Berbers.

Download or read book The African State written by Abdi Ismail Samatar and published by Heinemann Educational Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The African state is more essential than ever for the sustainability of the long march towards political, economic, and cultural development. This volume captures the diversity of African states and leadership by examining eight states from northern, western, eastern, and southern Africa. Contributing African scholars transcend current thinking on the nature of the state and its role in transforming the fortunes of the continent. They establish a conceptual framework that allows for a complex but concrete and integrated analysis of the African state. Leader, regime, administration, and commonwealth provide the four key factors for identification of state types in Africa. Different combinations of these factors produce various types of states ranging from Botswana's relatively integral political system to the "cadaverous" Somali state. States examined in this collection include: Botswana Ethiopia Ghana Libya Nigeria South Africa Sudan All of the book's contributors have done substantial scholarly works on their respective countries. Their essays provide practical means of assessing reform programs intended to enhance state effectiveness. This book will be of great value not only to scholars, but also to policy makers and others concerned with the construction of a positive future for the African continent.

Download or read book Protected Area Management written by Barbara Sladonja and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-08-08 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protected areas are at the base of the most national and international conservation strategies. Due to the many unpredictable elements in ecology matters, each protected area requires a case-specific set of guidelines but a common issue is how to cope with human interaction. The management of protected areas is replete with challenges and the only way to gain understanding and achieve greater management possibilities is to exchange experiences and knowledge. Environmental managers are aware of that and together with scientists are looking for more modern and better solutions, both with respect to natural resources and human interactions in many issues regarding nature protection. This publication presents reviews and research results on protected areas management, as well as 12 case studies derived from around the world with the aim of improving management effectiveness of the protected areas.

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.

Download or read book Cold War and Decolonization in Guinea 1946 1958 written by Elizabeth Schmidt and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the African Politics Conference Group’s Best Book Award In September 1958, Guinea claimed its independence, rejecting a constitution that would have relegated it to junior partnership in the French Community. In all the French empire, Guinea was the only territory to vote “No.” Orchestrating the “No” vote was the Guinean branch of the Rassemblement Démocratique Africain (RDA), an alliance of political parties with affiliates in French West and Equatorial Africa and the United Nations trusts of Togo and Cameroon. Although Guinea’s stance vis-à-vis the 1958 constitution has been recognized as unique, until now the historical roots of this phenomenon have not been adequately explained. Clearly written and free of jargon, Cold War and Decolonization in Guinea argues that Guinea’s vote for independence was the culmination of a decade-long struggle between local militants and political leaders for control of the political agenda. Since 1950, when RDA representatives in the French parliament severed their ties to the French Communist Party, conservative elements had dominated the RDA. In Guinea, local cadres had opposed the break. Victimized by the administration and sidelined by their own leaders, they quietly rebuilt the party from the base. Leftist militants, their voices muted throughout most of the decade, gained preeminence in 1958, when trade unionists, students, the party’s women’s and youth wings, and other grassroots actors pushed the Guinean RDA to endorse a “No” vote. Thus, Guinea’s rejection of the proposed constitution in favor of immediate independence was not an isolated aberration. Rather, it was the outcome of years of political mobilization by activists who, despite Cold War repression, ultimately pushed the Guinean RDA to the left. The significance of this highly original book, based on previously unexamined archival records and oral interviews with grassroots activists, extends far beyond its primary subject. In illuminating the Guinean case, Elizabeth Schmidt helps us understand the dynamics of decolonization and its legacy for postindependence nation-building in many parts of the developing world. Examining Guinean history from the bottom up, Schmidt considers local politics within the larger context of the Cold War, making her book suitable for courses in African history and politics, diplomatic history, and Cold War history.
