"Combining oral histories with decades of archival material, Village Work formulates a sweeping history of twentieth-century statecraft that centers on the daily work of rural people, local officials, and family networks, rather than on the national governments and large-scale plans that often dominate development stories. Wiemers shows that developmentalism was not simply created by governments and imposed on the governed; instead, it was jointly constructed through interactions between them. The book contributes to the historiographies of development and statecraft in Africa and the Global South by emphasizing the piecemeal, contingent, and largely improvised ways both development and the state are comprised and experienced, providing new entry points into longstanding discussions about developmental power and discourse, unsettling common ideas about how and by whom states are made, exposing the importance of unpaid labor in mediating relationships between governments and the governed, showing how state engagement could both exacerbate and disrupt inequities. Despite massive changes in twentieth-century political structures-the imposition and destruction of colonial rule, nationalist plans for pan-African solidarity and modernization, multiple military coups, and the rise of neoliberal austerity policies-unremunerated labor and demonstrations of local leadership have remained central tools by which rural Ghanaians have interacted with the state. Grounding its analysis of statecraft in decades of daily negotiations over budgets and bureaucracy, the book tells the stories of developers who decided how and where projects would be sited, of constituents who performed labor, and of a chief and his large cadre of educated children who met and shaped demands for local leaders. For a variety of actors, invoking "the village" became a convenient way to allocate or attract limited resources, to highlight or downplay struggles over power, and to forge national and international networks"--

Pour certains, l’Europe apparait comme un labyrinthe, un système obscur manipulé par des technocrates tout-puissants, une affaire d’élites où les peuples ne sont conviés qu’à voter et supporter les effets, souvent pernicieux, d’un processus de construction autoritaire – pour d’autres, le pari européen constitue la plus grande initiative historique consciente jamais entreprise par les États, Nations et peuples du continent pour créer un monde nouveau et faire de l’Europe une véritable puissance unie à l’époque de la mondialisation. Enrique Barón Crespo, qui fut président du Parlement européen de 1989 à 1992, ne fait partie ni des uns ni des autres. Son livre démontre qu’on peut être à la fois enthousiaste et critique pour la construction européenne ; que le conflit entre europessimistes et eurooptimistes dénote plus une vision partielle de la construction européenne qu’une attitude réaliste et que l’Europe, c’est plus que la somme des pays qui y sont engagés : c’est une idée, un projet, un mythe fondateur pour une rencontre nouvelle entre les peuples du vieux continent. Mieux : Enrique Barón Crespo, en expert, tisse son raisonnement de couleurs vives et nuancées, de traits d’humour décoiffants, de sagesse sereine et d’aperçus intellectuels toujours surprenants. Livre de la cathédrale Europe, manuel pour le XXIe siècle – L’Europe à l’aube du Millénaire agit autant comme un dissolvant sur les doutes que comme un viatique pour les espoirs d’aujourd’hui et de demain
