Regimes of Responsibility in Africa
Regimes of Responsibility in Africa analyses the transformations that discourses and practices of responsibility have undergone in Africa. By doing so, this collection develops a stronger grasp of the specific political, economic and social transformations taking place today in Africa. At the same time, while focusing on case studies from the African continent, the work enters into a dialogue with the emerging corpus of studies in the field of ethics, adding to it a set of analytical perspectives that can help further enlarge its theoretical and geographical scope.
Rising Powers and Multilateral Institutions
The rise of new powers such as China and India is sending shockwaves through the global multilateral system. This volume systematically examines how 13 multilateral institutions are responding to this shift, with some deploying innovative outreach and reform activities, while others are paralyzed by gridlock or even retreat from the global scene.
The Commons
'The Commons' explores the many forms of development being championed by Africa's residents, users, and citizens. In addition to managing property and shared tangible and intangible resources collectively, communities are experimenting with a concept of 'commoning' founded on values such as community, engagement, reciprocity, and trust. In practice, their approach takes the form of land-based commons, housing cooperatives, hybrid cultural spaces or places for innovation, and collaborative digital platforms. The purpose of this book, where observation of historical and recent practices converges with new theories within commons scholarship, is not to promote commons themselves. Rather, it examines the tensions, drivers of change, and opportunities that surround commons dynamics in Africa. This book highlights the abundance of commons-based entrepreneurial processes in Sub-Saharan Africa and shows that partnerships between African public authorities and communities involved in the commons can be powerful drivers of sustainable development for the continent.
Gouverner les Afriques
L’analyse des politiques publiques, traditionnellement centrée sur les pays du Nord, doit désormais s’ouvrir aux réalités des pays du Sud, notamment celles de l’Afrique. Quelles dynamiques et quels mécanismes façonnent les politiques publiques dans ces contextes ? Cet ouvrage collectif apporte un éclairage original sur une action publique qui, tout en reprenant parfois les formes observées au Nord, se distingue par des innovations adaptées aux spécificités locales. Grâce à des études rigoureuses fondées sur des données inédites, les auteurs révèlent la complexité des négociations entre acteurs, marquées par les contraintes des ressources administratives limitées,...

Routledge Handbook of Public Policy in Africa

The book assembles a multidisciplinary team of distinguished and upcoming Africanist scholars, practitioners, researchers and policy experts working inside and outside Africa to analyse the historical and emerging policy issues in 21st-century Africa. While mostly attentive to comparative public policy in Africa, this book attempts to address some of the following pertinent questions: How can public policy be understood and taught in Africa? ...
Politiques de la nature, nature de l'État. La fabrique transnationale de l'action publique au Mozambique
Cet ouvrage montre la relation étroite entre politiques de la nature et nature de l’État appliquée au cas du Mozambique. L’étude des politiques publiques de la nature sur le temps long y met en lumière le (re)déploiement d’un État aux faibles capacités d’action sur l’ensemble du territoire, mais que permet toutefois l’émergence de nouveaux bâtisseurs : une élite administrative au service de l’État, rémunérée par des bailleurs de fonds internationaux, pilotes de politiques publiques dorénavant transnationales. Dans un contexte de ni guerre ni paix, le Mozambique est ainsi sous régime d’aide: des organisations internationales, des ONG et des fondations philanth...
The Carbon Calculation
The Carbon Calculation examines how climate science, the policy world, and neoliberalism have mutually informed each other to define the problem of climate change as one of “market failure”—precluding alternatives to market-based solutions. Focusing on REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation), the book demonstrates how industrialized countries are able to maintain their socioeconomic models largely unaltered while claiming to address global warming using forests in the Global South to offset their pollution. By examining the creation and implementation of REDD+ historically and ethnographically, the book traces the social life of this mechanism as it travels...
Repenser la légitimité de l'État africain à l'ère de la gouvernance partagée
Le contexte dans lequel l’État africain évolue a profondément changé, notamment depuis l’ouverture démocratique des années 1990. L’environnement institutionnel est désormais marqué par une prolifération d’acteurs nouveaux, disputant le monopole de l’action publique. Cet ouvrage aborde cette nouvelle donne en explorant sur les plans local, national et international, son effet sur la substance et la légitimité de l’État africain.
Regarder des films en Afriques
Le cinéma en Afrique se trouve devant une situation inédite. La disparition des salles de cinéma sur ce continent coïncide avec une production de films accrue et une diffusion considérablement développée pour une grande partie des populations urbaines. Mais où/comment sont-ils vus ? De quels films s'agit-il ? Sommes-nous toujours dans le cinéma ?
