Science, Technology and Innovation Policies for Inclusive Growth in Africa
The volume analyses how to make Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Policies relevant for inclusive growth strategies in Africa.The base for a transformative STI policy is to link the STI policies to Africa's economic transformation policies. In a first part the general issues of introducing effective STI policies are presented. In a second part country case studies highlight the new approach. Cases such as Sudan and Nigeria are analysed, as these two countries have a long history of STI development; because of different history, size and structure they need to move in different directions towards a coherent STI policy for inclusive growth.
La langue et le droit
Généralement appréhendés comme objets de sciences distincts, la langue et le droit sont pourtant deux phénomènes socioculturels qui ne s'indiffèrent pas mutuellement. Les rapports qu'ils entretiennent constituent un terrain fertile à la réflexion multidisciplinaire. Grâce à un certain ancrage historique et en s'appuyant sur l'expérience de différents pays, cet ouvrage appréhende ces rapports sous les prismes de la théorie du droit, de la linguistique juridique et de la traduction juridique.
L'Etat ailleurs
La problématique de l'État africain dans ses pérégrinations vers les aires de son implantation a nourri une littérature riche et a mis en scène des écoles de pensée diverses et variées. Dans cette veine, les travaux de Luc Sindjoun ont comme premier dessein de restituer la richesse et l'ontologie spécifique de l'État en Afrique. En lui rendant hommage, les contributeurs de cet ouvrage ont souhaité rester fidèles à ses passions scientifiques et à ses recherches heuristiques.
Droit et service public
Que sait-on du professeur Lekene Donfack ? Premier Camerounais agrégé du CAMES de la section Droit public et science politique (1997) et ancien ministre d’État, deux visages dominent sa vie publique et privée : celui d’un « penseur du droit » et celui d’un « serviteur de l’État ». Il s’est particulièrement illustré dans les domaines du droit public financier et du droit constitutionnel. L’initiative des mélanges rencontra une impressionnante adhésion au Cameroun et au-delà. Avec un souci de rigueur, des 120 contributions reçues, le comité en a retenu 84, parmi lesquelles celles d’une dizaine de collègues étrangers. L’ouvrage en deux volumes de 42 contributions chacun s’organise autour du thème droit et service public. Il sera désormais impossible de parler du service public en Afrique sans se référer à ce nouvel ouvrage qui réunit des contributions de grande valeur scientifique.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
