Book excerpt: SCIENCE AND EMPIRES: FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM TO THE BOOK Patrick PETITJEAN, Catherine JAMI and Anne Marie MOULIN The International Colloquium "Science and Empires - Historical Studies about Scientific De velopment and European Expansion" is the product of an International Colloquium, "Sciences and Empires - A Comparative History of Scien tific Exchanges: European Expansion and Scientific Development in Asian, African, American and Oceanian Countries". Organized by the REHSEIS group (Research on Epistemology and History of Exact Sciences and Scientific Institutions) of CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), the colloquium was held from 3 to 6 April 1990 in the UNESCO building in Paris. This colloquium was an idea of Professor Roshdi Rashed who initiated this field of studies in France some years ago, and proposed "Sciences and Empires" as one of the main research programmes for the The project to organize such a colloquium was a bit REHSEIS group. of a gamble. Its subject, reflected in the title "Sciences and Empires", is not a currently-accepted sub-discipline of the history of science; rather, it refers to a set of questions which found autonomy only recently. The terminology was strongly debated by the participants and, as is frequently suggested in this book, awaits fuller clarification.

Download or read book Connecting Histories of Education written by Barnita Bagchi and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of education in the modern world is a history of transnational and cross-cultural influence. This collection explores those influences in (post) colonial and indigenous education across different geographical contexts. The authors emphasize how local actors constructed their own adaptation of colonialism, identity, and autonomy, creating a multi-centric and entangled history of modern education. In both formal as well as informal aspects, they demonstrate that transnational and cross-cultural exchanges in education have been characterized by appropriation, re-contextualization, and hybridization, thereby rejecting traditional notions of colonial education as an export of pre-existing metropolitan educational systems.

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.

Book excerpt: Young people are transforming the global landscape. As the human population today is younger and more urban than ever before, prospects for achieving adulthood dwindle while urban migration soars. Devastated by genocide, hailed as a spectacular success, and critiqued for its human rights record, the Central African nation of Rwanda provides a compelling setting for grasping new challenges to the world's youth. Spotlighting failed masculinity, urban desperation, and forceful governance, Marc Sommers tells the dramatic story of young Rwandans who are “stuck,” striving against near-impossible odds to become adults. In Rwandan culture, female youth must wait, often in vain, for male youth to build a house before they can marry. Only then can male and female youth gain acceptance as adults. However, Rwanda's severe housing crisis means that most male youth are on a treadmill toward failure, unable to build their house yet having no choice but to try. What follows is too often tragic. Rural youth face a future as failed adults, while many who migrate to the capital fail to secure a stable life and turn fatalistic about contracting HIV/AIDS. Featuring insightful interviews with youth, adults, and government officials, Stuck tells the story of an ambitious, controlling government trying to govern an exceptionally young and poor population in a densely populated and rapidly urbanizing country. This pioneering book sheds new light on the struggle to come of age and suggests new pathways toward the attainment of security, development, and coexistence in Africa and beyond.

Download or read book City of Black Gold written by Arbella Bet-Shlimon and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kirkuk is Iraq's most multilingual city, for millennia home to a diverse population. It was also where, in 1927, a foreign company first struck oil in Iraq. Over the following decades, Kirkuk became the heart of Iraq's booming petroleum industry. City of Black Gold tells a story of oil, urbanization, and colonialism in Kirkuk--and how these factors shaped the identities of Kirkuk's citizens, forming the foundation of an ethnic conflict. Arbella Bet-Shlimon reconstructs the twentieth-century history of Kirkuk to question the assumptions about the past underpinning today's ethnic divisions. In the early 1920s, when the Iraqi state was formed under British administration, group identities in Kirkuk were fluid. But as the oil industry fostered colonial power and Baghdad's influence over Kirkuk, intercommunal violence and competing claims to the city's history took hold. The ethnicities of Kurds, Turkmens, and Arabs in Kirkuk were formed throughout a century of urban development, interactions between communities, and political mobilization. Ultimately, this book shows how contentious politics in disputed areas are not primordial traits of those regions, but are a modern phenomenon tightly bound to the society and economics of urban life.

Download or read book La transposition de la directive retour written by Caterina Severino and published by Primento. This book was released on 2015-05-04 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La directive communautaire n° 2008/115/CE, dite directive « retour », met en place des normes communes aux pays membres de l’UE, afin de mener une politique plus protectrice des ressortissants de pays tiers en situation irrégulière devant être éloignés du territoire. La directive privilégie le rapatriement volontaire, par rapport au rapatriement forcé, et vise à garantir, en tout état de cause, le respect des droits fondamentaux de la personne se trouvant en situation irrégulière sur le territoire de l’un des pays membres de l’UE et en attente d’en être éloignée. Sept ans après l’adoption de la directive, cinq ans après l’expiration du délai de transposition et au vu de l’actualité toujours aussi pressante en matière d’immigration, il est pertinent de dresser un premier bilan sur la transposition de cet instrument européen dans trois pays qui se trouvent en première ligne face aux phénomènes migratoires dans le bassin méditerranéen : la France, l’Espagne et l’Italie. L’ouvrage, qui réunit les contributions d’éminents spécialistes des trois pays concernés, analyse les différentes législations espagnole, française et italienne dans une optique comparative et selon une approche critique, afin de comprendre si ces législations ne sont pas plutôt restées en deçà des possibilités offertes par la directive « retour » en prévoyant le strict minimum en matière de droits et libertés. Il s’agit de comprendre également et surtout si la transposition de la directive européenne ne s’est pas transformée en trahison, notamment quant à la question des délais de rétention administrative des étrangers en attente d’être éloignés, en matière de mesures alternatives à la rétention et en matière de garanties procédurales devant entourer l’éloignement de l’étranger en situation irrégulière.

LE REGROUPEMENT FAMILIAL : LA JURISPRUDENCE BELGE AU CROISEMENT DES SOURCES INTERNES ET EUROPÉENNES La jurisprudence interne en matière de regroupement familial fait très fréquemment référence aux droits européens en cette matière. L’objectif est d’étudier les arrêts du Conseil du Contentieux des Étrangers et du Conseil d’État à l’aune des normes européennes, d’analyser leur pertinence, leur évolution et de dégager des pistes de réflexion visant à assurer une meilleure cohérence entre ces ordres juridiques.

LA DÉSIGNATION DE L’ÉTAT RESPONSABLE DE L’EXAMEN DE LA DEMANDE D’ASILE Le règlement Dublin désigne l’État responsable de l’examen d’une demande d’asile. Sa mise en oeuvre se heurte cependant à de nombreuses difficultés, à l’origine de multiples réformes et développements jurisprudentiels devant la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne et la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme. La contribution entend analyser la jurisprudence et la pratique belge, à la lumière de ces réformes et développements jurisprudentiels européens.

Replaçant ces notions de liberté de circulation et de citoyenneté européenne dans leur contexte, l’auteure analyse quelques questions pratiques choisies qui présentent un intérêt actuel. Un second exposé examine spécifiquement le droit des citoyens européens aux prestations d’assistance sociale.
