Download or read book South Africa Pushed to the Limit written by Hein Marais and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-13 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1994, the democratic government in South Africa has worked hard at improving the lives of the black majority, yet close to half the population lives in poverty, jobs are scarce, and the country is more unequal than ever. For millions, the colour of people's skin still decides their destiny. In his wide-ranging, incisive and provocative analysis, Hein Marais shows that although the legacies of apartheid and colonialism weigh heavy, many of the strategic choices made since the early 1990s have compounded those handicaps. Marais explains why those choices were made, where they went awry, and why South Africa's vaunted formations of the left -- old and new -- have failed to prevent or alter them. From the real reasons behind President Jacob Zuma's rise and the purging of his predecessor, Thabo Mbeki, to a devastating critique of the country's continuing AIDS crisis, its economic path and its approach to the rights and entitlements of citizens, South Africa Pushed to the Limit presents a riveting benchmark analysis of the incomplete journey beyond apartheid.

Download or read book The European Union and Emerging Powers in the 21st Century written by Mr Thomas Renard and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-04-28 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of new powers fundamentally questions the traditional views on international relations, multilateralism or security as a range of countries now competes for regional and global leadership - economically, politically, technologically and militarily. As the focus of international attention shifts from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the European states in particular are seen to lose influence relative to the emerging economic powerhouses of China, Russia, India and Brazil. European nations find themselves too small to engage meaningfully with these continent-sized powers and, in an increasingly multipolar world are concerned their influence can only continue to decline. This book analyses the shifts in the structure of global power and examines the threats and opportunities they bring to Europe. Leading European Contributors reflect on how the EU can utilise collective strength to engage and compete with rapidly developing nations. They examine perceptions of the EU among the emerging powers and the true meaning and nature of any strategic partnerships negotiated. Finally they explore the shape and structure of the international system in the 21st century and how the EU can contribute to and shape it.

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 The Foreign Policy of the European Union written by Stephan Keukeleire and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keukeleire and Delreux demonstrate the scope and diversity of the European Union's foreign policy, showing that EU foreign policy is broader than the Common Foreign and Security Policy and the Common Security and Defence Policy, and that areas such as trade, development, environment and energy are inextricable elements of it. This book offers a comprehensive and critical account of the EU's key foreign relations – with its neighbourhood, with the US, China and Russia, and with emerged powers – and argues that the EU's foreign policy needs to be understood not only as a response to crises and conflicts, but also as a means of shaping international structures and influencing long-term processes. This third edition reflects recent changes and trends in EU foreign policy as well as the international context in which it operates, addressing issues such as the increasingly contested international order, the conflict in Ukraine, the migration and refugee crisis, Brexit and Covid-19. The book not only clarifies the formal procedures in EU foreign policy-making but also elucidates how it works in practice. The third edition includes new sections and boxes on 'strategic autonomy', European arms exports, the EU's external representation, the 'Brussels Effect', and decentring and gender approaches to EU foreign policy. Up to date, jargon-free and supported by its own website (eufp.eu), this systematic and innovative appraisal of this key policy area is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as practitioners.

Download or read book Votes Money and Violence written by Matthias Basedau and published by NAI Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the (re-) introduction of multiparty systems in Africa in the early 1990s, third and fourth elections in Africa’s new democracies and hybrid regimes are now being seen. Although there is a large and growing literature on democracy and elections in Africa, parties and party systems have hitherto not been the focus of research, which may be surprising given their central role in a liberal democracy. The early works from the 1960s and 1970s provide neither a sound conceptual nor empirical basis. Research on political parties and party systems in Africa is still in its infancy. Various contributions in this volume address the theoretical and conceptual challenges provided by the African parties and party systems with their particular features of weak organization, informal relationships dominated by "big men" and clientelism within a neopatrimonial setting. Others raise the crucial question of representation in relation to ethnicity, civil society and gender, or look into the empirical relationship between party systems and democracy. Further chapters ask questions about the appropriate electoral system for the multiethnic context in Africa and deal with the problem of electoral system reform. Finally, there are chapters which focus on the neglected area of electoral violence, and the moral role of money and vote buying is scrutinized through a case study. An important conclusion is that party research in Africa needs more conceptual clarity as well as empirical research particularly on party organization, voting behavior, and the role of ethnicity. The volume is written for academics and graduate students in Comparative Politics, Party Research, Electoral and African Studies. It will be also useful for professionals dealing with Africa in (political) development assistance.

Download or read book No party Democracy in Uganda written by Justus Mugaju and published by Fountain Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continuation of no-party democracy has been constitutionalised by the Constituent Assembly of Uganda, causing great controversy. The 1995 constitution provided for a referendum to be held in the year 2000 to enable Ugandans to revisit the question of political systems and choose between multiparty, no-party and any other form of democracy. The eight contributors including Professor Ali Mazrui, examine the case for and against multipartyism, the justification for no-party democracy as well as its myths and realities, and the wider ideological implications of movement politics in the Great Lakes region. They also explore the possibilities of bridging the gap between movementists and multipartyists in order to adopt a political system based on the widest consensus possible among the people in Uganda.

Download or read book Vous avez dit libre change written by Berthelot jacques and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2018-06-06 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La fuite en avant de l'Union européenne (UE) dans des Accords de libre-échange atteint le summum de l'absurdité en les imposant à l'Afrique de l'Ouest dont le PIB par tête est vingt-et-une fois inférieur au sien. Cet accord de "Partenariat" Economique (APE) lui ferait perdre 76% de ses recettes douanières sur ses importations de l'UE et entraînerait une forte montée du chômage par la perte de compétitivité de ses entreprises. Dans ce contexte il est très utile d'analyser les multiples manoeuvres et contre-vérités utilisées par la Commission européenne pour imposer l'APE de l'AO et les APEi de Côte d'Ivoire et du Ghana.

Download or read book Les Accords de Partenariat conomique entre l Union europ enne et les pays ACP Afrique Cara bes Pacifique written by Raymond Ebalé and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En négociation depuis septembre 2002 entre l'UE et six groupes régionaux ACP (Afrique, Caraïbes, Pacifique), les Accords de Partenariat Économique apparaissent comme le sujet le plus controversé de l'histoire de ce partenariat depuis son établissement à la fin des années 1950. La controverse est d'autant plus vive qu'une grande partie de l'opinion reste totalement ignorante des tenants et aboutissants des APE et de leur processus de négociation. Ce livre ambitionne de combler ce vide intellectuel et historique en apportant un éclairage libre et documenté sur ce phénomène.
