Luttes armées et enjeux de la paix et de la réconciliation au Tchad
Le colloque « Luttes armées et enjeux de la paix et de la réconciliation au Tchad » s'est efforcé de produire des connaissances sur l'analyse du contexte de paix et de la réconciliation au Tchad. Il s'agit de poser un regard sur la problématique de la paix en lien avec la sanctuarisation des luttes armées depuis plusieurs décennies. Le colloque a rassemblé des enseignants-chercheurs et chercheurs mais aussi quelques acteurs de la violence armée au Tchad (les anciens rebelles ou politico-militaires) et spécialistes des conflits armés. Cet ouvrage est une opportunité de poursuivre la réflexion sur l'actualité de l'installation, en Afrique au Sud du Sahara, au pouvoir d'État des militaires à travers les coups et contrecoups d'État.
Gestion des ressources naturelles dans la vallée du Logone (Cameroun-Tchad)
À cheval entre le Tchad et le Cameroun, la vallée du Logone subit depuis plus d’un siècle des crises écologiques. Cette plaine inondable constitue une terre d’opportunités à l’image de la vallée du Nil. On y observe des initiatives endogènes et des interventions provenant d’acteurs externes qui ne sont pas sans effets sur l’environnement et la stabilité des sociétés rurales. Cet ouvrage écrit par des chercheurs du Tchad et du Cameroun questionnent la résilience des systèmes socioécologiques, les pratiques de préservation des écosystèmes et les politiques de renforcement de la paix.
Doing Business 2011
Eighth in a series of annual reports comparing business regulations in 183 economies, Doing Business 2011 measures regulations affecting 10 areas of everyday business activity: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, employing workers, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and closing a business. The report updates all 10 sets of indicators, ranks countries on their overall ease of doing business and analyzes reforms to business regulation- identifying which countries are improving strengthening their business environment the most and which ones slipped. Doing Business 2011 includes results on the ongoing research in the area of "getting electricity" and illustrates how reforms in business regulations can translate into better outcomes for domestic entrepreneurs and the wider economy. It also focuses on how women in particular are affected by complex business regulations.
City Logistics
City Logistics: Mapping The Future examines the key concepts of city logistics along with the associated implementation issues, methodologies, and policy measures. Chronicling the growth of city logistics as a discipline and how planning and policy have improved practice over the last ten years, it details the technologies, policies, and plans that can reduce traffic congestion, environmental impact, and the cost of logistics activities in urban freight transportation systems. The book provides a comprehensive study of the modelling, planning, and evaluation of urban freight transport. It includes case studies from the US, UK, Netherlands, Japan, South Africa, and Australia that illustrate t...

Remaking Mutirikwi
Finalist for the African Studies Association 2016 Melville J. Herskovits Award A detailed ethnographic and historical study of the implications of fast-track land reform in Zimbabwe from the perspective of those involvedin land occupations around Lake Mutirikwi, from the colonial period to the present day. The Mutirikwi river was dammed in the early 1960s to make Zimbabwe's second largest lake. This was a key moment in the Europeanisation of Mutirikwi's landscapes, which had begun with colonial land appropriations in the 1890s. ButAfrican landscapes were not obliterated by the dam. They remained active and affective. At independence in 1980, local clans reasserted ancestral land claims in a ...
Milestones in Green Transition and Climate Compatible Development in Eastern and Southern Africa
It is widely recognised that climate change poses significant serious threats to sustained economic growth and agricultural development, poverty reduction, food security and political stability globally. Nowhere are these challenges more marked than in Africa where two-thirds of all available land is classified either as desert or dry land, in relation to which the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (2013) has classified the continent as the most vulnerable to climate change variability. This anthology is a product of a call from OSSREA to collate evidence based researches in a book in a bid to assess how far countries in eastern and southern Africa are implementing the UNFCCC,...
Pastoralism in Africa
Pastoralism has shaped livelihoods and landscapes on the African continent for millennia. Mobile livestock husbandry has generally been portrayed as an economic strategy that successfully met the challenges of low biomass productivity and environmental variability in arid and semi-arid environments. This volume focuses on the emergence, diversity, and inherent dynamics of pastoralism in Africa based on research during a twelve-year period on the southwest and northeast regions. Unraveling the complex prehistory, history, and contemporary political ecology of African pastoralism, results in insight into the ingenuity and flexibility of historical and contemporary herders.
City Logistics
This book presents fundamental concepts and general approaches to City Logistics. City Logistics is the process of totally optimising urban logistics activities by considering the social, environmental, economic, financial and energy impacts of urban freight movement. City Logistics initiatives are required to solve urban freight transport problems including high levels of traffic congestion, negative environmental impacts, high energy consumption and a shortage of labour. The focus of this work is on modelling City Logistics. Modelling is of crucial importance, since estimates of the impacts generated by City Logistics measures are required for evaluating them. It highlights the formulation...
Congo's Environmental Paradox
The Democratic Republic of Congo has the natural resources the world needs – it is crucial to satisfying our craving for the latest high-tech gadgets; the Inga Dam could light up all of Africa; while Congo’s farmers could feed a billion people. These realities are redefining the country’s strategic contribution to a globalized world. A resource paradise for some, the DRC is an environmental nightmare for others. Congo’s Environmental Paradox analyses the new dynamics in the country’s forest, mineral, land, water and oil sectors, revealing the interactions between these sectors. Connecting the dots, it shows how we need to fundamentally rethink power, politics and resource management in Congo today.
