Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paru en 1967 dans la collection Économie et Socialisme, ce livre est l'une des premières études faites par un économiste africain de la génération de l'Indépendance. Les circonstances, l'évolution politique de l'Afrique, ont fait qu'il n'a pas été suivi, dans la même direction, d'autres travaux, d'autres auteurs. C'est pourquoi cette étude scientifique des perspectives de croissance accélérée, où Afana s'efforçait de définir les conditions d'un développement efficace, reste d'une importance et d'une originalité qui, dix ans après, justifient largement une réédition, que le présentateur, Pierre-Philippe Rey, a allégée des données trop datées. Son utilité est plus importante que jamais pour les économistes, les hommes et militants politiques, sociologues ou historiens, même non africains, que l'auteur voulait atteindre.
Download or read book La D mocratie written by Jean Karim Coly and published by Generis Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le choix de ce sujet représente une préoccupation et une ambivalence. On s'inquiète du fait que depuis l'indépendance, en particulier dans les pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest, un certain nombre d'initiatives continentales et mondiales ont été adoptées dans le but ultime de sortir l'Afrique de son sous-développement, et malgré tous ces efforts, rien n'a changé et sa place dans le commerce mondial est encore faible. Une autre préoccupation majeur, est que la démocratie en Afrique demeure un aspect crucial pour le développement, mais cette démocratie, du moins telle qu'elle est pratiquée dans certains pays ne correspond pas aux règles démocratiques, car les élites politiques ont bloqué le processus d'une véritable démocratisation dans la plupart des pays de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. L'ambivalence, parce que l'imposition de valeurs occidentales sur des pratiques précapitalistes millénaires ne signifie pas que l'évolution et le développement doivent nécessairement passer par des questions telles que valorisées à l'Occident. La ligne de travail reflète cependant le souci de définir la démocratie dans le contexte africain, mais aussi de répondre à cette ambivalence, à travers une alternative basée sur l'intégration. Pour ce faire, nous avons opté pour la méthode déductive, qui infère les faits observés dans les règles générales, ce qui nous a permis de comprendre comment les principales actions du processus de démocratisation en Afrique de l'Ouest peuvent être une solution pour l'intégration et le développement de la Région. Concernant la rédaction de ce travail, nous avons choisi la technique documentaire qui consiste à examiner les différents documents susceptibles de fournir les vérités que nous recherchons dans notre travail. Pour l'intérêt, ce travail interpelle les dirigeants africains, notamment ceux d'Afrique de l'Ouest, face à l'intégration régionale et au développement économique, mais aussi à l'implantation d'une démocratie digne, qui a toujours constitué la fragilité des États d'Afrique de l'Ouest depuis l'indépendance jusqu'à nos jours et, d'autre part, est une contribution documentaire pour les autres chercheurs qui, à leur tour, peuvent le critiquer et apporter leurs suggestions.
Download or read book Afriqu conomie written by Pierre Vaudelin and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2016 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "L'Afrique dont il est question aujourd'hui dans ce livre est une Afrique qui bouge et qui ne veut pas être celle qui, stigmatisée par les médias, est représentée encore comme une Afrique meurtrie par les conflits internes et régionaux, par une pauvreté endémique et par une société civile insuffisamment indépendante pour pouvoir construire des idéaux économiques et sociaux stables pour le continent. L'Afrique noire veut aujourd'hui construire, par ses classes dirigeantes économiques et politiques, un nouvel avenir économique s'appuyant sur des institutions dirigeantes fortes dont l'éthique gouvernementale intransigeante permettra largement de trouver un chemin d'indépendance au niveau économique et social. L'urbanisation galopante et la progression de la population se " déversent " dans des mégalopoles africaines sans cesse plus grandes qui " grouillent " d'une économie informelle significative d'emplois et de revenus. L'univers de la débrouillardise est celui de l'Afrique contemporaine, et selon l'auteur, c'est dans le cadre de cet environnement que ce continent, avec ses forces vives, trouvera les outils intelligents et inhérents à la société africaine afin de devenir un continent émergent."--Page 4 of cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre est l'aboutissement d'une longue réflexion sur la situation socioéconomique et politique du continent, ponctuée par la publication de plusieurs articles, aussi bien dans des revues scientifiques que dans des magazines ou journaux spécialisés. Articulé autour de dix chapitres, le livre aborde tour à tour, les thèmes suivants : intégration régionale et continentale : nature des États et choix entre Afrique économique et Afrique politique ; arrimage de l'Afrique à l'économie mondialisée : industrialisation de l'Afrique ; financement des économies africaines ; rôle des intellectuels en Afrique ; rationalisation des représentations diplomatiques africaines nature des révolutions en Afrique, mission des armées et encadrement de la jeunesse. Les solutions proposées dans chaque cas ne sont certes pas exhaustives et ne reflètent que les vues de l'auteur, mais elles ont le mérite d'initier des pistes de réflexion et de contribuer au débat en cours sur l'avenir de l'Afrique.
Download or read book African Studies in Geography from Below written by Ben Arrous and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine of international relations (inter-state, indeed), territorial ideologies, the logic of autochthony and its ramifications, ethnic cleansing, are all hinged at different levels upon the same pseudo-fact: to every society a closed and exclusive territory demarcated by fixed and linear borders. This way of thinking, totally foreign to African societies for a long time, has generated today more contradictions than it can ever solve. The authors of this book make a clear distinction between territory formation "from the top" as being a deliberate political project, and its formation "from below" as being a more diffused historical process which is determined by the scheme of antagonisms and compromises between social forces. In lieu of a stark opposition between "the top" and "below", the authors unveil the interdependence and mutual influence which form the basis of a dual system within which legal formation -by the colonial authorities first, then by the postcolonial one- is confronted with a host of subaltern spatial dynamics, neglecting thereby the legitimacy which only them can provide. As an essential read for anyone who is interested in the relationship between knowledge and power, this book offers stimulating perspectives on the issue of African unity and its epistemological and political challenges. It renews profoundly our approaches to human security, citizenship, borders and mobility. Contributions are in English and in French.

Download or read book Regional Integration in Africa written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Regional Integration in Africa: What Role for South Africa, Henri Bah, Siphamandla Zondi and André Mbata Mangu reflect on African integration and the contribution of post-Apartheid South Africa. From their different scientific backgrounds, they demonstrate that despite some progress made under the African Union that superseded the Organisation of African Unity, Africa is still lagging behind in terms of regional integration and South Africa, which benefitted from the rest of the continent in her struggle against apartheid, has not as yet played a major role in this process. Apart from contributing to advancing knowledge, the book is a recommended read for all those interested in African regional integration and the relationships between Africa and post-Apartheid South Africa. Contributors are Henri Bah, André Mbata Mangu and Siphamandla Zondi. Foreword by Eddy Maloka.

Download or read book Digital Technologies and African Societies written by Julien Atchoua and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The integration and use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in African countries is increasingly observable in various sectors of activity (banking, education, trade, etc.) despite a digital divide still relevant. ICT has become a major sector of the recent growth of a new informal economy in African cities (Chéneau-Loquay, 2008). This question has been at the heart of various international meetings. An overall positive and even utopian momentum is generally heard about the contribution of digital technologies to the development of African states. The adoption or appropriation of digital technologies by Africans is presented in many speeches by politicians or institutions involved in the field of cooperation and international development as an important issue for the development of this continent. These different considerations give rise to reflections on the following themes. - Social Media and Public Space in Africa - Challenges of the digital economy in Africa - ICT and modernization of higher education in Africa

Download or read book African Yearbook of International Law 1988 written by A. A. Yusuf and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 1999-06-01 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "African Yearbook of International Law" provides an intellectual forum for the systematic analysis and scientific dissection of issues of international law as they apply to Africa, as well as Africa's contribution to the progressive development of international law. It contributes to the promotion, acceptance of and respect for the principles of international law, as well as to the encouragement of the teaching, study, dissemination and wider appreciations of international law in Africa. A clear articulation of Africa's views on the various aspects of international law based on the present realities of the continent as well as on Africa's civilization, culture, philosophy and history will undoubtedly contribute to a better understanding among nations. The "African Yearbook of International Law" plays an important role in examining the tensions underlying the State in Africa, and by shedding more light on the causes of the fragility of African State institutions so as to facilitate the identification of appropriate remedies. The tension and interrelationships among issues such as territorial integrity, self determination, ethnic diversity and nation-building are constantly addressed. Development, human rights and democratization in Africa are also the subject of continuous attention and examination. The Special Theme of this volume is "Regional Economic Integration in Africa,"
Download or read book Measuring African Development written by Morten Jerven and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chief economist for the World Bank's Africa region, Shanta Devarajan, delivered a devastating assessment of the capacity of African states to measure development in his 2013 article "Africa's Statistical Tragedy". Is there a "statistical tragedy" unfolding in Africa now? If so then examining the roots of the problem of provision of statistics in poor economies is certainly of great importance. This book on measuring African development in the past and in the present draws on the historical experience of colonial French West Africa, Ghana, Sudan, Mauritania and Tanzania and the more contemporary experiences of Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The authors each reflect on the changing ways statistics represent African economies and how they are used to govern them. This bookw as published as a special issue of the Canadian Journal of Development Studies.
