Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les relations internationales sont fondamentalement une forme particulière de relations sociales ; c'est dire qu'elles constituent une configuration modelée en fonction de l'espace et du temps concrets. On comprend alors qu'on puisse parler de relations internationales africaines sans tomber dans les travers de l'afrocentrisme et du postcolonialisme. La socialité des relations internationales est un paramètre qui, tout en invitant à la relativité, ne s'oppose pas à la validité des théories générales. C'est dans cet entre-deux que se situe ce livre. L'enjeu de connaissance, c'est de parvenir à une intelligence sociologique des relations internationales africaines dans ce qu'elles ont de banal et d'exceptionnel ; c'est de dégager les lignes d'inégalité que cache le discours africain sur la fraternité et l'égalité, de faire ressortir la régularité derrière le chaos des conflits, des coups d'Etat et des changements d'alliances. Ce livre va au-delà de l'Afrique des émotions et des larmes, de l'Afrique tragique et comique, pour rendre compte des lignes de force et des dynamiques, du jeu et des enjeux des relations internationales.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Afrique est au tournant de l'Histoire. Elle est un acteur subissant les relations internationales. Parfois, elle est présentée comme un acteur actif. Elle est très souvent exposée aux aléas de la conjoncture internationale. L'Afrique est continuellement malade de ses impuissances : les amortisseurs de son économie sont cassés, compromettant ainsi dangereusement sa croissance et son développement durable ; les infrastructures socio-économiques de base sont en délabrement ; les conflits armés accompagnés des graves crises humanitaires se multiplient ; les maladies endémiques refont surface ; la sous-production agricole et industrielle place l'Afrique au bas de l'échelle mondiale des nations industrialisées et en émergence. Il découle de ce constat que l'approche segmentaire de recherche sur les relations internationales africaines, dont la présente étude est l'introduction, mérite d'être retenue. Une telle segmentation permet d'approfondir les quatre axes de la recherche qui sont notamment l'étude des conflits en Afrique, les organisations internationales africaines, les questions liées au développement économique de l'Afrique et l'Afrique dans l'environnement international à l'ère de la mondialisation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À partir d'une vision critique des théories dominantes, d'essence coloniale et néocoloniale, l'auteur aborde, en Africain, quelques thèmes de sociologie politique à partir d'une démarche praxéologique axée sur les pratiques politiques concrètement vécues par les populations africaines, en particulier congolaises.00La décolonisation du savoir dominant en vue d'une connaissance démystifiée des faits et pratiques politiques constitue, aux yeux de l'auteur, la condition requise pour l'émergence d'un savoir politique libérateur. Une sociologie politique dépoussiérée des tares idéologiques occidentales pourrait s'avérer pourvoyeuse de connaissances réelles et s'imposerait dès lors comme une science de combat pour la libération d'une Afrique qui a, de toute évidence, raté sa décolonisation réelle. Telle est l'ambition de cet ouvrage.

Download or read book Diplomacy and Nation Building in Africa written by Mélanie Torrent and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-11 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cameroon stands as a remarkable example of nation-building in the aftermath of European domination. Split between the French and British empires after World War I, it experienced a unique drive for self-determination at the turn of the 1960s, culminating in both independence from European power and the re-unification of two of its divided territories. This book investigates the influence of foreign policy on nation-building in West Africa in the context of both the Cold War and European integration. Shedding fresh light on the challenges of bridging the political, economic and linguistic divide that France and Britain had left, Melanie Torrent explores the evolution of a nation, charting both Cameroon's importance in Franco-British relations and Cameroon's use of bilateral and multilateral diplomacy in asserting its independence. This work should be essential reading for students of African studies, International Relations and the post-colonial world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Main idea: Contribution of transnational transfers in the construction of national social policies. Through the main idea of the book, we begin by defining the notion of decline, to identify consequences of the decline of political authority with regard to social problems, to better analyze the importance of the address of countries in development path towards international donors. In addition, we used Policy Transfer Studies (PTS) to show how the contributions of transnational transfers on the development of national social policies are considered as the lever for the integration of developing countries. But, in other words, these countries are considered as the places of fixation where interdependencies between public and private actors are consolidated, where rules of action are negotiated thanks to the agreements, conventions, which we have analyzed throughout, through two types of partnership, namely: bilateral and multilateral, through public-public, public-private, private-private (INGO-International Institution) partnerships. Finally, we carried out an evaluation, in order to subsequently identify some perspectives encouraged by transnational contributions on the social policies of developing countries.

Download or read book Morocco s Africa Policy written by Yousra Abourabi and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-05-03 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the advent of the reign of Mohammed VI in 1999, Morocco has deployed a new continental foreign policy. The Kingdom aspires to be recognized as an emerging African power in its identity as well as in its space of projection. In order to meet these ambitions, the diplomatic apparatus is developing and modernizing, while a singular role identity is emerging around the notion of the "golden mean". This study presents, on an empirical level, the conditions of the elaboration and conduct of this Africa policy, and analyzes, on a theoretical level, the evolution of the Moroccan role identity in the international system.

Download or read book To Write the Africa World written by Achille Mbembe and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 2016, thirty intellectuals and artists from Africa, its diasporas, and beyond gathered together in Dakar and Saint-Louis, Senegal, to reflect on the present and future of Africa in the midst of transformations that are sweeping through the contemporary world. The aim was to take stock of the renewal of Afro-diasporic critical thought and to discuss the new perspectives emerging from the ongoing projects constructing political, cultural, and social imaginaries for and from the African continent. This book brings together and makes available to the English-speaking world the material presented at the 2016 Ateliers de la pensée – Workshops of Thought – in Dakar. The authors deal with a wide range of issues, including decolonization, the development of social utopias, and the pursuit of new forms of political, economic, and social production on the African continent. Running throughout is a constant concern to interrogate the categories and frames of meaning that have served to characterize the dynamics of the African continent and a shared desire to produce new frames of intelligibility through which to see Africa’s present realities and its future. The contributions also attest to the view that there is no African question that is not also a global question, and that the Africanization of the global question will be a decisive feature of the twenty-first century. To Write the Africa World and its companion volume The Politics of Time will be indispensable for anyone interested in Africa – its past, present, and future – and in the new forms of critical thought emerging from Africa and the Global South.

Download or read book Reflections on Identity in Four African Cities written by S. B. Bekker and published by African Minds. This book was released on 2006 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identity has become the watchword of our times. In sub-Saharan Africa, this certainly appears to be true and for particular reasons. Africa is urbanising rapidly, cross-border migration streams are swelling and globalising influences sweep across the continent. Africa is also facing up to the challenge of nurturing emergent democracies in which citizens often feel torn between older traditional and newer national loyalties. Accordingly, collective identities are deeply coloured by recent urban as well as international experience and are squarely located within identity politics where reconciliation is required between state nation-building strategies and sub-national affiliations. They are also fundamentally shaped by the growing inequality and the poverty found on this continent. These themes are explored by an international set of scholars in two South African and two Francophone cities. The relative importance to urban residents of race, class and ethnicity but also of work, space and language are compared in these cities. This volume also includes a chapter investigating the emergence of a continental African identity. A recent report of the Office of the South African President claims that a strong national identity is emerging among its citizens, and that race and ethnicity are waning whilst a class identity is in the ascendance. The evidence and analyses within this volume serve to gauge the extent to which such claims ring true, in what everyone knows is a much more complex and shifting terrain of shared meanings than can ever be captured by such generalisations.

Download or read book Diplomatic Games written by Heather L. Dichter and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is the nation's oldest civil rights organization, having dedicated itself to the fight for racial equality since 1909. While the group helped achieve substantial victories in the courtroom, the struggle for civil rights extended beyond gaining political support. It also required changing social attitudes. The NAACP thus worked to alter existing prejudices through the production of art that countered racist depictions of African Americans, focusing its efforts not only on changing the attitudes of the white middle class but also on encouraging racial pride and a sense of identity in the black community. Art for Equality explores an important and little-studied side of the NAACP's activism in the cultural realm. In openly supporting African American artists, writers, and musicians in their creative endeavors, the organization aimed to change the way the public viewed the black community. By overcoming stereotypes and the belief of the majority that African Americans were physically, intellectually, and morally inferior to whites, the NAACP believed it could begin to defeat racism. Illuminating important protests, from the fight against the 1915 film The Birth of a Nation to the production of anti-lynching art during the Harlem Renaissance, this insightful volume examines the successes and failures of the NAACP's cultural campaign from 1910 to the 1960s. Exploring the roles of gender and class in shaping the association's patronage of the arts, Art for Equality offers an in-depth analysis of the social and cultural climate during a time of radical change in America.

Download or read book Comparative Regionalisms for Development in the 21st Century written by Timothy M. Shaw and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global 'financial' crisis at the turn of the decade has accelerated changes in the relative standing of major regions. As both the US and Eurozone economies have confronted a series of setbacks and struggles to find their second breath, so Asia, Latin America and even Africa have picked up the slack and have been able to maintain high levels of growth. The resilience of the Global South questions whether we are witnessing an evolution towards a regional rebalancing or even global restructuring. This responding volume has four interrelated topics. It explores the transformation taking place in/with regard to the financing of development in the Global South and the apparition of new players in the field. The emergence of 'New Regionalisms' in the South and the usefulness of these experiences for comparative studies of regional relationship is explicated. It turns its attention to new forms of transnational governance that are emerging and the role that a novelty of actors play in this 'new multilateralism'. Finally, it looks into the implications of this trio of novel directions and players for analyses and policies.

Download or read book Public Policy Lessons from the AIDS Response in Africa written by Fred Eboko and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public Policy Lessons from the AIDS Response in Africa examines how the interplay between national state dynamics in Africa and the global political arena has shaped the global AIDS response, and in this context develops a framework for analysing public policy action more broadly in contemporary Africa. By applying comparative political sociology to AIDS public action, this book identifies four political models that are applicable to public initiatives. Fred Eboko goes on to test these in other domains – namely, the malaria and tuberculosis health subsectors, and the education and environment sectors. By articulating global and national connections and contributing a critical perspective grounded in African scholarship and French political science, the author builds a bold and ambitious framework with the potential to enable coherent and effective public policy action in Africa. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of public health, global health, political science, and development studies, as well as policy-level practitioners in the areas of global health and development.
