Depuis plus de cinquante années, la question du développement et de ses fondements épistémologiques et éthiques ne cesse d'occuper tous ceux qui portent à coeur le destin de l'Afrique. Charles Mbadu voudrait renouveler le débat avec un esprit critique et perspicace qu'on lui reconnaît. Son objectif : arriver à dégager les conditions de possibilité du développement par la philosophie, pas n'importe quelle philosophie, mais bien par une réflexion économique et politique portée par une éthique de la militance. Cette éthique émerge à partir de la situation socioéconomique de progression de la pauvreté et de la misère en Afrique, dans l'objectif de forcer tous les Etats du monde à pratiquer la justice vraie. Tant que les Etats les plus riches de la planète se montreront incapables d'oublier les intérêts de leurs Etats nationaux et ne prendront pas en compte les revendications égalitaires présentées par les Etats du Sud, le développement de l'humanité sera fortement compromis.

In West Africa, approximately 16 million people depend directly or indirectly on cotton cultivation. Cotton plays a vital role in the economic and social development of many countries, and in improving the livelihoods of the inhabitants. It has also enabled West Africa to become a major player on the international market, since it is now the second largest fiber exporter behind the United States. This success is partly due to an integrated approach which is often called the "cotton system." Since the World Trade Organization's 2003 Ministerial Conference in Cancun, the actors in the international community have recognized the crucial need to address the cotton crisis in an "ambitious, rapid and specific" manner. At the end of the Hong Kong Ministerial Conference in December 2005, progress was made in the negotiations aiming to reduce subsidies, ensure market access and improve development policies. On 24 July, multilateral trade negotiations of the Doha "Development Round" were suspended because an agreement could not be reached which would satisfy both developing and developed countries. This book contends that dialogue between developed and developing countries should continue in order to find a lasting solution to the difficulties facing the cotton sub-sector. It sets out the regional stakes linked to the economic and social importance of cotton in West Africa. It retraces the consultation process on the West African cotton crisis with the aim of finding a negotiated solution acceptable to all parties. Also discussed are the challenges and the measures that need to be taken over the medium and long term in order to prevent this sub-sector's sudden collapse. Countries covered: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo.--Publisher summary.
