Co-editado por Yahya H. Zoubir -director de investigación en Geopolítica en la Kedge Business School de Marsella- y Gregory White -profesor de Relaciones Internacionales en el Smith College de Massachusetts, este trabajo tiene el objetivo de generar la atención del mundo académico anglo-americano por el Norte de África, tras décadas de priorizar los estudios sobre Oriente Medio y de entender a esta área sólo como parte de la esfera de influencia europea, especialmente de Francia. El volumen complementa y da continuidad a un trabajo previo de 2008 (North Africa: Politics, Religion and the Limits of transformation, editado por Y. Zoubir y Haizam Amirah).
Council of Ministers, Fifth Ordinary Session, Accra, October 1965 ; The preambles to the UN Convention and the OAU Draft Convention relating to the status of refugees in Africa are not identical in content though similar in aim or spirit since that of the OAU Draft Convention had to be formulated in such a way as to conform with the requirements of the OAU and the African political atmosphere.
Abstract | The challenge of interdisciplinary intellectual and strategic work in the extractive industries is particularly acute at the interface of research and social activism. Numerous social movements which are dedicated to sustainability fail to 'connect the dots' between their campaigns and broader political-economic and political-ecological visions. This is becoming a critical challenge in Africa, where the extreme damage done by mining and fossil fuels has generated impressive resistance.However, the one obvious place to link these critiques from African activists was the Alternative Mining Indaba in Cape Town in February 2015, and a survey of narratives at that event leads to pessimism about interdisciplinary politics. The potential for much greater impact and deeper critiques of unsustainable extractivism lies in greater attention to combining social reproduction and production (as do eco-feminists), and to tackling social, economic, political and ecological factors with a more explicit structuralist critique and practical toolkit. Areas such as energy, economics and climate are ripe for linkages. One reason for optimism is a climate justice declaration made by leading civil society activists in Maputo in April 2015.
The regime of Francisco Macías in Equatorial Guinea (1968-1979) has brought up controversies. Some consider it an example of leftist politics, others, a fall under fascism; for some it would be a clear reflection of Franco's regime, for others the fanciful product of a sick mind. Through the analysis of the rituals developed by Macias regime, an attempt to elucidate which of these elements contribute to its creation. ; El régimen de Francisco Macías en Guinea Ecuatorial (1968-1979) hadespertado controversias. Hay quien lo considera un ejemplo de políticas izquierdistas, otros lo enmarcan dentro del fascismo; para algunos sería un reflejo claro del régimen franquista, para otros la producción fantasiosa de una mente enferma. A través del análisis de los rituales desarrollados por el régimen macista, se trata de elucidar qué elementos contribuyeron a la creación de éste.
Die 14 Beiträge des Bandes gehen auf eine Konferenz der Afrikanischen Politikwissenschaftlichen Vereinigung im Oktober 1998 zurück. Sie zentrieren sich um die Chancen Afrikas im Prozess der Globalisierung und dessen Wirkung auf den afrikanischen Staat; besondere Beachtung findet die regionale Integration. Ein erster Teil mit vier Beiträgen widmet sich den Wirkungen der Globalisierung auf den post-kolonialen Staat und seinen Optionen in diesem Prozess; ein Beitrag untersucht die möglichen Konsequenzen des WTO-Abkommens für afrikanische Ökonomien. Im zweiten Teil geht es in drei Beiträgen um Regionalisierung und regionale Kooperation (im Rahmen von SADC und der Indian Ocean Commission). Teil drei thematisiert den Zusammenhang von Globalisierung und Demokratie (hier ein Beitrag zum Staatszerfall in Guinea-Bissau und zur Identitätsbildung von Siedlern in Südafrika). Ein vierter und letzter Teil befasst sich mit Menschenrechten und Gender Politics in Afrika. (DÜI-Sbd)
In France, the situation of African politics in the various disciplines is quite mixed: African political anthropology has declined considerably; at the same time, African politics formed, but remained rather marginal in the field of political science; African history, for its part, has invested in the field of politics in a very fragmented manner. Arguably, is the reduction in resources for research on the ground on the African continent something in these difficulties. What is the role of the methods and paradigms used in the study of African political phenomena? ; International audience ; In France, the situation of African politics in the various disciplines is quite mixed: African political anthropology has declined considerably; at the same time, African politics formed, but remained rather marginal in the field of political science; African history, for its part, has invested in the field of politics in a very fragmented manner. Arguably, is the reduction in resources for research on the ground on the African continent something in these difficulties. What is the role of the methods and paradigms used in the study of African political phenomena? ; En France, la situation du politique africain dans les différentes disciplines est assez contrastée : la place de l'anthropologie politique africaniste a considérablement reculé ; au même moment une politologie africaniste s'est constituée, mais elle est restée assez marginale dans le champ de la science politique ; l'histoire africaniste a, pour sa part, investi le champ du politique de manière très parcellaire. Sans doute la réduction des moyens destinés à la recherche de terrain sur le continent africain est-elle pour quelque chose dans ces difficultés. Quelle part y jouent les méthodes et paradigmes utilisés dans l'étude des phénomènes politiques africains ?
