Download or read book SADCC written by Samir Amin and published by United Nations University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Southern African Development Co-ordination Conference (SADCC) comprises nine radically different states & was formed in 1980 with the objective of reducing the region's dependence on apartheid South Africa. SADCC has been subjected to much critical, skeptical & sometimes superficial analysis by mostly outside observers. This collection of essays projects an African perspective on an organisation seen as a hopeful augury of a more prosperous & genuinely independent African future. Candid & comprehensive, the essays present a cautiously optimistic view of the region's prospects of a successful 'delinking' from South Africa.
Download or read book Elusive Development written by Marshall Wolfe and published by Zed Books. This book was released on 1996 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This deeply thoughtful book explores some of the very difficult questions thrown up by the development process, Marshall Wolfe reviews what has been said and done in the name of development over four decades. He sees development as 'a Sisyphean task of trying to impose value-oriented rationality on realities that remain permanently recalcitrant to such reality' precisely because its key actors - be they the state, social groups, development agencies, individual 'experts', or the market - cannot be assumed to be either benevolent or consistently rational.
Download or read book Regional Economic Integration in West Africa written by Diery Seck and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-18 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a number of key studies pertaining to the most pressing challenges of economic regional integration in West Africa. The issues of monetary coordination, foreign exchange volatility, taxation, savings and macroeconomic convergence are investigated from a regional perspective. The characteristics of West Africa’s trade policy are reviewed and assessed in comparison to that of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The extent to which regional integration can tackle the challenge of unemployment is the focus of studies on labour markets. Development of the private sector and coordination of regional cross-border transportation are examined through the lens of economic collaboration between Arab and African countries. The book provides fresh new answers to persistent development questions and sheds new light on long-held views that are either incomplete or no longer true. It also opens new perspectives on the search for sustainable avenues for Africa’s development. In this regard, it may contribute to the emergence of a new paradigm on Africa’s development process and its science-based, policy-oriented implementation.

This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This critique by women of male-generated and male-dominated technologies grows out of a consciousness of women as essential, yet unsalaried, participants in production processes. The authors document the ways in which women suffer from technological development in industrialized and developing countries and assess how technological developments perpetuate inequalities between nations, regions, classes, and sexes. They discuss the implementation of modern technology in agriculture and its effects on rural women, look at the position of women in the basic and applied sciences and in science policymaking, and analyze the place of women in selected technology-based industries.
Download or read book The Evolving Structure of South Africa s Economy written by Seeraj Mohamed and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa still faces low economic growth and high unemployment, coupled with the persistent challenges of poverty and inequality. These exert pressure on South Africa to foster structural transformation that will facilitate a more inclusive and resilient economy. Authors apply multiple theoretical and empirical perspectives to take stock of the historical and contemporary structure of the South African economy, its evolving nature and possible future pathways. The explore how South Africa's structural transformation agenda is affected by the global context, and discuss debates on the extreme social impacts of globalised and financialised economic structures. Contributors offer technical and analytical discussions of the overlapping structural faultlines that produce uneven economic performance. They explain the changes and continuities of South Africa's economic structure, bound by an analytical thread that centres power relations and political settlements. Varied chapters explain how poor governance and corruption have slowed down structural reform. This has been further exacerbated by the inconsistent availability of energy and the deterioration of logistics. The book details the structural reforms and policy regimes necessary for increasing productive capacity in South Africa's agriculture, manufacturing, agro-processing. retail and services, energy and mining industries. It also reflects on the role that micro- and informal enterprises can play if afforded the necessary support. The technical details and analyses in the book highlight the need for a radical review of macroeconomic policy to reduce the country's chronic vulnerability to poverty and inequality.
