Abstract

L'intégration économique, politique et sociale de l'Afrique de l'Ouest est reconnue comme un enjeu majeur de développement. Elle se trouve désormais au coeur des agendas politiques de la sous-région. Si des avancées majeures ont pu être enregistrées au niveau institutionnel, celles-ci peinent à se traduire dans les comportements et les pratiques au niveau local. L'impulsion décisive que devrait connaître le processus d'intégration régionale achoppe donc sur la déconnexion entre les progrès institutionnels réalisés et la réalité vécue quotidiennement par les populations.

Abstract

For Hunger-proof Cities is the first book to fully examine food security from an urban perspective. It examines existing local food systems and ways to improve the availability and accessibility of food for city dwellers. It looks at methods to improve community-supported agriculture and cooperation between urban and rural populations. It explores what existing marketing and distribution structures can do to improve accessibility and what the emerging forms of food-distribution systems are, and how they can contribute to alleviating hunger in the cities. Finally, the book discusses the underly

Abstract

Illegal logging and trade in timber is a major cause of forest degradation in the world today. Not only does it threaten biodiversity-rich old growth forests, it also endangers the livelihoods of the traditional communities that are dependent upon them. But controlling this global problem is not a simple matter of enacting new laws and enforcing new regulations — the rules already exist. If countries are to manage their forest sustainably they must implement existing laws effectively, and they must do so now! Cut and Run offers readers valuable insight on how this might be done.

Abstract

The Lab, the Temple, and the Market tackles these complex questions in four separate essays. Each essay meshes a discussion of development issues and processes with a different system of religious belief: Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, and the Bahá'i Faith. The authors — each a scientist as well as a person of faith — show how religious belief and personal faith can be deeply motivational and strikingly fruitful in scientific pursuits. Further, they emphasize how their faith has brought them a profound understanding of interconnectedness and compassion, and thus a wider perspective and greater

Abstract

La communauté internationale est plus que jamais engagée dans la lutte contre la pauvreté. La réduction de ce phénomène s'inscrit désormais parmi les objectifs prioritaires des États, dans les axes d'un processus de développement durable et solidaire. Dans l'approche contemporaine des relations entre croissance économique et pauvreté, croissance et inégalités, les économistes ont renoncé à la naïveté des années cinquante et rendu le débat plus complexe que ne l'avaient laissé les travaux pionniers de Kuznets. Cet ouvrage, fruit de la collaboration de chercheurs d'universités du Nord et du Sud,

Abstract

Integrating information and communication technologies (ICTs) into governance processes can greatly enhance the delivery of public services to all citizens. ICT integration will not only improve the performance of governance systems, it will also transform relationships amongst stakeholders, thereby influencing policymaking processes and regulatory frameworks. In the developing world, however, the potential of ICTs for effective governance remains largely unexplored and unexploited. This book presents the context, theory, and current thinking on the interaction between ICTs and local governanc
