Abstract

What is the cumulative impact of the immense social, economic, and political changes that Africa has undergone in recent decades? What opportunities do those changes present to improve the lives of the continent's citizens? Countering the prevailing mood of pessimism in the face of disappointed expectations, the authors of Governing Africa's Changing Societies demonstrate the significance of even incomplete reforms in the areas of competitive elections and democratization, gender relations, property rights, the public sector, and privatization, among others. In the aggregate, their work reveals how seemingly small or sluggish changes are accumulating to fundamentally, and positively, transform Africa's governance environment.

Abstract

Three leading Africa scholars investigate the social forces driving the democratic transformation of postcolonial states across southern Africa. Extensive research and interviews with civil society organizers in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Zambia, Malawi, Namibia, and Swaziland inform this analysis of the challenges faced by non-governmental organizations in relating both to the attendant inequality of globalization and to grassroots struggles for social justice.

Abstract

Observant le don mauritanien, les forgerons soninké, la sorcellerie à Douala ou, encore, l'économie informelle à Dakar, Serge Latouche rompt avec "l'afropessimisme" et propose une analyse marginale du don et du marché, ainsi qu'une réflexion sur notre avenir. L'autre Afrique est le laboratoire de la postmodernité, au-delà de l'économie de marché.
