This book is a contemporary and sophisticated engagement with the “Africa rising” debate and politics. With 19 carefully curated chapters, this is a theoretically sound and empirically informed project, a compendium for anyone interested in fine-grain scholarly analyses of governance, security and development in Africa. –Temitope Oriola , Joint Editor-in-Chief of African Security, President of the Canadian Association of African Studies (CAAS) and Associate Professor, University of Alberta, Canada. In a moment of political and economic uncertainty throughout the continent, this volume charts out new paths, grounded in interdisciplinary research and rigorous evidence, to futures beyond sanguine declarations of 'Africa Rising' and their celebration of a failed neo-liberal model. –Adam Branch, Director, Centre of African Studies, University of Cambridge. This is a comprehensive, timely, and serious interrogation of Africa rising discourses from a multidisciplinary perspective. Africa cannot rise if the multi-layered challenges and opportunities of security, governance, and development are not fully grasped. This anthology is, therefore, a rigorous and empirically grounded contribution to the debate and understanding of Africa’s contemporary condition and prospects. It is an uncompromising call to jettison destructive economic and governance models and to adopt frameworks that are sustainable, accountable, and truly transformative. –Professor Ismail Rashid, Department of History, Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, New York This edited book analyses the changing links between governance, security and development in Africa as they relate to the narrative that contemporary Africa has made remarkable progress in recent years, a phenomenon popularly known as “Africa rising.” The book presents a rigorous evaluation of the Africa rising debate and consequently offers innovative policy guidelines for Africa’s governance and development transformation.

Les résultats juridiques présentés dans cet ouvrage sont ceux réalisés au sein d’un consortium « Imagerie Active Améliorée pour une Identification plus Sûre (IAAIS) » associant tant des chercheurs académiques, que des industriels et des PME. Ce programme de recherche sur la sécurité globale, financé par l’Agence Nationale de la Recherche en France, a pour objectif d’aider les services publics européens opérationnels de police, de la gendarmerie, de secours et du renseignement en leur mettant à disposition une technologie nouvelle reposant sur l’imagerie active : voir l’invisible, un double défi scientifique et juridique ! La technologie nouvelle basée sur l’imagerie active permettra aux opérationnels des actions discrètes d’observation à distance. Elle donnera aux forces régaliennes une nette supériorité opérationnelle aux regards des suspects souvent suréquipés en technologies modernes au cours d’une opération judiciaire ou pour améliorer les opérations de secours en permettant leur identification. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage proposent un éclairage juridique de l’accompagnement de ce progrès technologique en ouvrant de nouvelles pistes de recherche relatives à une méthodologie de la protection de la vie privée de la conception à la fin du cycle de vie de la nouvelle technologie (principe du privacy by design). Cette méthodologie juridique assurera un haut niveau d’exigence de protection des droits fondamentaux des citoyens européens. Les solutions juridiques proposées seront de vrais défis pour la construction des démocraties et de l’Europe du XXIe siècle.

If economic elites are notorious for circumventing tax obligations, how can institutionally weak governments get the wealthy to shoulder a greater tax burden? This book studies the factors behind the adoption of elite taxes for public safety purposes. Contrary to prominent explanations in the literature on the fiscal strengthening of the state - including the role of resource dependence and inequality - the book advances a theory of elite taxation that focuses on public safety crises as windows of opportunity and highlights the importance of business-government linkages to overcome mistrust toward government from corruption and lack of accountability. Based on evidence from across Latin America and rich case studies from experiences in Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Mexico, the book provides scholars and policymakers with a blueprint for contemporary state-building efforts in the developing world.

In studying the withdrawal from Iraq, RAND assessed logistical constraints, trends in insurgent activity, the readiness of Iraqi security forces, and implications for the size of the residual U.S. force and for security in Iraq and the region. This report presents alternative schedules: one consistent with the Obama administration's intentions, one somewhat slower, and another faster. It also identifies steps to alleviate constraints and risks.
