Download or read book Mobility between Africa Asia and Latin America written by Ute Röschenthaler and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade connections and cultural exchange between Africa and the rest of the global South have existed for centuries. Since the end of the Cold War, these connections have expanded and diversified dramatically, with emerging economies such as China, India, and Brazil becoming increasingly important both as sources of trade and as a destination for African migrants. But while these trends have attracted growing scholarly attention, there has so far been little appreciation of the sheer breadth and variety of this exchange, or of its deeper social impact. This collection brings together a wide array of scholarly perspectives to explore the movement of people, commodities, and ideas between Africa and the wider global South, with rich empirical case studies ranging from Senegalese migrants in Argentina to Lebanese traders in Nigeria. The contributors argue that this exchange represents a form of ‘globalization from below’ which defies many of the prevailing Western assumptions about migration and development, and which can only be understood if we consider the full range and complexity of migrant experiences. Multidisciplinary in scope, Mobility between Africa, Asia and Latin America is essential reading for students and scholars across the social sciences interested in the interconnected economic and social make-up of the global South.

Download or read book Training for Work in the Informal Micro Enterprise Sector written by Hans Christiaan Haan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-10-04 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Sub-Sahara Africa, the sector of informal micro-enterprises (IMEs) is already employing a large share of the labour force in both urban and rural areas. This study reviews the ways in which the owners and workers of IMEs have acquired their vocational and management skills. It reviews the contributions of all the different training providers, including public sector training institutes, private sector training providers, and training centres run by NGOs and other non-profit organizations. The study finds that informal apprenticeship training is by far the most common source of various skills - in some countries it is likely to be responsible for 80-90% of all ongoing training efforts. Informal apprenticeship training presents a number of important advantages. At the same time it has a number of limitations. The study concludes that there is a major challenge to improve the transfer of relevant skills to IME operators, both through pre-employment training and skills upgrading. In view of the scope of the challenge to provide hundreds of thousands IME owners and workers, as well as large numbers of out of school youths with relevant practical and management skills, it suggests to build upon the strengths of the existing practices of informal apprenticeship training and to remedy its weaknesses by involving professional training providers in upgrading its training organization and delivery, quality and efficiency, and final training outcomes. It reviews the results of a number of innovative interventions in different African countries that are working in this direction. Finally, the study suggests that there is an interesting potential in ‘business-embedded training’ provided by private companies as part of their regular business operations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis les années 1960, suite à la construction progressive de l'Union Européenne et, bien après, à l'émergence du phénomène de la mondialisation, les dimensions spatiales de développement sont devenues multiples. Aux anciens concepts comme le pays, la région, le territoire national... sont venus s'ajouter des espaces d'intégration régionale et de la mondialisation. De même, la démocratisation de l'Etat et de la société, amorcée dans la plupart des pays africains depuis 1990, a entraîné la promotion de tous petits espaces de commandement issus de la décentralisation. Désormais, les espaces de développement deviennent plus complexes. Faut-il aller de " l'Etat-nation aux Etats-régions " ou de la " Région aux territoires " ? Ce sont là autant de questions qui se posent actuellement à la géographie. Ce volume, Maîtrise de l'espace et développement en Afrique : état des lieux, a pour objectif de faire prendre conscience aux géographes africains des nouveaux enjeux et défis auxquels est désormais confrontée leur discipline. Que signifie désormais l'espace de développement ? Quelle est sa portée économique et politique ? Ces questions sont d'autant plus importantes à soulever qu'en Afrique, l'organisation de l'espace dépend de deux logiques : formelle et informelle.
