Cet ouvrage porte sur la période de révolution, du renversement de Hayle Sïllasé à la mise en place d’une dictature militaire d’inspiration marxiste. L’auteur examine les causes et les conséquences de ce changement de régime à travers le cas des Afar, un peuple semi-nomade transfrontalier de basses terres. Les possibilités d’investissement agricole sur le cours de l’Awash, fleuve qui traverse le territoire Afar, les ressources minières ainsi que la protection des frontières nationales représentaient des enjeux importants pour intégrer à l’État éthiopien cet espace historiquement hors de sa domination. En réponse aux excès de l’administration impériale éthiopienne du temps de Hayle Sïllasé, notamment la confiscation des terres communales fertiles, la révolution éthiopienne proposait une réallocation des ressources au peuple par l’État et une plus grande autonomie de chaque territoire, impliquant des structures administratives nouvelles. Les hommes politiques représentant les Afar, soit par leurs statuts de chefs traditionnels soit par leurs qualités personnelles révélées par les bouleversements de l’époque, ont tenté de se saisir les opportunités offertes par la situation révolutionnaire. Ils ont dû faire face à plusieurs options qui les ont unis ou divisés. Ce sont ces choix politiques, les raisons qui les ont motivés, les incohérences qui n’ont pas été évitées, les dissidences qu’ils ont entrainées, les objectifs qui n’ont pas été atteints, et les conséquences économiques, écologiques et sociales, qui sont l’objet de cet ouvrage. L’auteur y décortique également les rapports complexes des Afar avec la Junte militaire au pouvoir et les mouvements de guérilla qui s’opposaient à celle-ci, surtout les mouvements érythréens et le Front de libération des peuples du Tigray (FLPT).

This open access book explains how PRIO, the world’s oldest peace research institute, was founded and how it survived through crises. In this book, twenty-four of its researchers and associates, including Johan Galtung, Ingrid Eide, and Mari Holmboe Ruge, who founded the institute back in 1959, tell the stories of their roles in inventing and developing peace research. They reflect on their personal experiences with peace and conflict, tell what drove their peace engagement, and discuss the balance sought in the field between the cold dictates from academic rigor and the hot pursuit of peace, a desire for research to make a positive difference. Most of the chapters are interviews where one colleague interviews another. Some are self-reflective essays, while others are memorial essays written about a peace researcher who has passed away. Taken together, the book presents a lively picture of a thriving world-leading research environment and a wealth of conflicting or mutually reinforcing perspectives on war, violence, conflict, conflict management and resolution, negotiations and mediation, peacemaking, peace building, and the contested concept of peace. “The Oslo Stories is an indispensable source to the history of peace research.” Dr. Olav Njølstad, Director, Nobel Institute, Oslo

The terrorist attacks that have occurred in the past few years around the world have raised international awareness of the danger of terrorism and its complex repercussions on the financial markets. This paper explores the ways in which financial markets reacted to the attacks and the authorities' responses. Well-functioning financial markets, bolstered by the prompt and effective reaction of the relevant authorities, were generally efficient in absorbing shocks stemming from terrorist attacks. The paper discusses market and regulatory responses to the terrorist attacks and the elements that should be strengthened so as to further enhance the resilience of financial markets to terrorism.

Bolivia’s system to prevent and suppress money laundering fulfills most of the Financial Sanctions Related to Terrorism and Terrorist Financing (FATF) recommendations and applies to the insurance, stock market, and financial sectors. However, the system does not include other activities that are susceptible to money laundering. The institutional regulatory and financial intelligence responsibilities for combating money laundering are concentrated in the Bolivian Financial Intelligence Unit. Bolivia should continue to improve the legislation aimed at combating this offense, and strengthen the imposition and supervision of controls.
