Book excerpt: Ce mémoire s'intéresse aux différentes conceptions des "savoirs traditionnels" dans le champ des théories du développement, et cherche à déceler le potentiel alternatif de ces savoirs pour le champ du développement (théorique et pratique), un champ marqué par l'actuelle "crise du développement". Les écoles classiques constituant le paradigme dominant y sont d'abord présentées, soit l'école de la modernisation et l'école de la dépendance, avec leur conception du monde et du développement basée avant tout sur la croissance, leurs fondements et a priori quant aux sociétés du Sud et aux savoirs traditionnels. La critique du paradigme dominant, considérée comme une "nébuleuse critique" est aussi présentée avec ses principaux thèmes. L'auteure en vient finalement à montrer l'insuffisance du paradigme développementiste pour aborder les savoirs traditionnels comme une ressource éventuelle pour le développement, en raison de son ethnocentrisme et de ses postulats. Ensuite, une revue de la littérature de quatre courants critiques est effectuée, de façon à trouver une nouvelle interprétation du lien entre les variables "savoirs traditionnels" et "développement". L'écoféminisme, le capitalisme cognitif, l'ethnodéveloppement et le post-développement sont ici considérés comme des courants qui remettent en cause les a priori développementistes entourant les savoirs, la science, la tradition, la modernisation, la culture. Particulièrement, le post-développement constitue le principal apport subversif quant au développement, déconstruisant les mythes entourant ce concept et le présentant comme un projet idéologique ethnocentrique. Il représente aussi en quelque sorte l'aboutissement des trois autres courants, reprenant les mêmes thèmes mais en prônant une sortie de l'ère développementiste. Enfin, de façon à vérifier et nuancer certains concepts et certaines pistes d'analyse issus de la littérature critique, l'auteure effectue quatre entretiens avec des représentant d'initiatives loc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au moment même où on prenait enfin conscience de l'érosion de la biodiversité, la Convention sur la diversité biologique reconnaissait en 1992 l'importance des savoirs traditionnels des peuples autochtones. Parallèlement, l'essor de l'industrie biotechnologique des pays du Nord, possesseurs de la technologie, et leur intérêt pour les ressources biologiques des pays du Sud, possesseurs de la plus grande part de la biodiversité, ont cristallisé les conflits, chacun souhaitant s'approprier ce que possèdent les autres. La biopiraterie s'est alors développée et avec elle la question controversée de la propriété intellectuelle. Si le droit de la propriété intellectuelle permet la brevetabilité des innovations issues du vivant, il faut aussi reconnaître des droits à ceux qui ont conservé la diversité biologique. Mais la question s'avère complexe lorsqu'on constate que, non seulement la philosophie derrière le système de propriété intellectuelle est axée notamment sur le développement humain par le progrès technoscientifique, mais aussi que les savoirs traditionnels ne sont considérés que comme de pâles reflets des savoirs scientifiques. A cela s'ajoute le fait que dans les sociétés traditionnelles le concept fondamental de propriété est tout simplement inexistant. Le traitement de la question est rendu aussi particulièrement difficile par la multitude des acteurs impliqués et les problèmes juridiques et politiques rencontrés par les instances internationales compétentes, notamment en raison de l'enchevêtrement des différents instruments internationaux traitant de la biodiversité, des savoirs traditionnels et de la propriété intellectuelle.

This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book weaves the story of the complex links between education and its territories. The aim here is to examine the education couple - understood in the broadest sense: school, college, high school, universities - and territory, according to three main axes: the history and the characterization of the different ties maintained And which the school and its territory always maintain; That of the categorization and characterization of the territories in which the school is situated, of the educational policies - both explicit and grassroots - connected with it and their effects on the school; That of recent pedagogical, didactic and organizational innovations. The book is based on French specialists in territorial education issues.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The African Convention on the conservation of nature and natural resources was adopted in 1968 in Algiers. Considered the most forward looking regional agreement of the time, it influenced significantly the development of environmental law in Africa. Two and a half decades of intense developments in international environmental law made it necessary to revise this treaty, update its provisions and enlarge its scope. This was undertaken under the auspices of the African Union (previously OAU), and the revision was adopted by its Heads of State and Government in July 2003 in Maputo. The introduction provides an overview of this new international treaty, as well as a commentary to each of its provisions.

This book was released on 2005-11-01 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1993, the African Yearbook, now published under the auspices of the African Foundation for International Law, is the only scholarly publication devoted exclusively to the study, development, dissemination and wider appreciation of international law in Africa as a whole. Through the scholarly analysis of international legal issues of particular relevance to the African continent, it also contributes to the acceptance of, and respect for the rule of law in intra-African relations, and for the principles of international law in general. Its uniqueness however goes beyond this, for through its special themes and general articles, it has succeeded over the years to serve as an intellectual forum where the development of international law is viewed as being integral to Africa s own development.Through the study and analysis of emerging legal issues of particular relevance to Africa, such as the creation of viable continental institutions capable of promoting unity and security for the peoples of the continent, the effective protection of human rights, the need for accountability for mass killings and massive violations of the rule of law, the promotion of a rule-based democratic culture, the role of African countries in a globalizing world economy and in international trade relations, the Yearbook strives to be responsive to the intellectual needs of African countries in the area of international law, and to the continuing struggle for creating an environment conducive to the rule of law throughout the continent. The Yearbook also provides ready access to the basic documents of African international organizations by regularly publishing the resolutions and decisions of regional and sub-regional organizations as well as the conventions, protocols and declarations adopted by pan-african agencies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents oral histories, collective dialogues, and analyses of rural and indigenous livelihoods facing global socio-environmental regime change in Latin America (LA). Since the late twentieth century, rural and indigenous producers in LA, including agriculturists, coffee-growers, as well as small-scale farmers/fishers, and others, have had to resist, cope with, or adapt to a range of neoliberal socio-environmental regimes that impact their territories and associated resources, including water, production systems and ultimately their cultural traditions. In response, rural producers are using local visions and innovation niches to decide what, when, and how to resist, cope with uncertainty, and still be successful in using their customary laws to retain their land rights and livelihoods. This book presents a range of ethnically diverse case studies from LA, which addresses socio-environmental, educational, and law regimes’ effects using transdisciplinary research approaches in rural, traditional and indigenous production systems. Based on both, the results and insights gained into how producers are resisting and adapting to these regimes, as well as decades of research carried out in LA rural territories by the participating authors, the book puts forward a baseline for devising new public policies that are better suited to the real challenges of livelihoods, poverty, and environmental degradation in LA. These recommendations are rooted in post-development thinking; they promote territorial public policy with social inclusion and a human’s rights approach. The book draws on over 20 years of research carried out by LA’s academics and their undergraduate and graduate students who have addressed collaborative work, participatory research, and transdisciplinary approaches with rural commons and communities in LA. It features 19 case studies, with contributions from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Honduras, and Mexico.
