This book discusses the effects of globalization on languages in Africa. In contrast to previous studies, the contributors examine whether or not globalization is affecting African languages in the same ways and at the same rate in different countries, and how local experiences of language change vary from place to place. Rather than seeing English as the 'killer language' par excellence, the contributors probe ways in which languages are being used side by side to complement each other in some contexts while competing against European colonial languages in others. The result is a diverse canv

Sound Tracks is the first comprehensive book on the new geography of popular music, examining the complex links between places, music and cultural identities. It provides an interdisciplinary perspective on local, national and global scenes, from the 'Mersey' and 'Icelandic' sounds to 'world music', and explores the diverse meanings of music in a range of regional contexts.In a world of intensified globalisation, links between space, music and identity are increasingly tenuous, yet places give credibility to music, not least in the 'country', and music is commonly linked to place,

The World Summit on Sustainable Development was held in Johannesburg from 26 August to 4 September 2002. It was convened by the United Nations to provide renewed political impetus for a comprehensive effort to push forward the sustainable development agenda throughout the world and respond to the new challenges and opportunities that have arisen since the Rio Summit , held in 1992. The Johannesburg Summit resulted in a consensus on a plan of implementation and a short political declaration. The Department of Human Ecology of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), the Institut de Gestion de l'Environnement et d'Aménagement du Territoire of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), the University Centre for Development Co-operation (UCOS) and the Brussels Office of the British Council organised a symposium on "Making Globalisation Sustainable ? The Johannesburg Summit on Sustainable Development and beyond". It took place on 12 November 2002, at the VUB, attended by about three hundred participants. These proceedings are a result of the symposium, which provided a forum for policy-makers and academics to review the results of the Summit and to analyse implications for the European Union and its Member States, the developing countries and North-South relations. It proved an excellent opportunity to debate on the main issue : the way forward beyond the UN Summit of Johannesburg ! The organisation of the symposium and the publication of these proceedings have been made possible by the financial support provided by the VUB and the ULB, the British Council, the Belgian State Secretary for Energy and Sustainable Development, the Flemish Inter-University Council (VLIR) and the Brussels-Capital Region.
