Beyond the examples above, this book presents us with in-depth analyses on several African countries which are seldom assessed when the topic is democracy and whose experiences vary on an axis that can be generalised and applied for other countries in the continent, since they happened in countries from different regions and with different backgrounds. Throughout the book, challenges and opportunities for democracy consolidation in Burkina Faso, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Rwanda and Zimbabwe are studied and invite the reader to promptly question conventional knowledge on the topic. In addition, the book also analyses the mechanisms and tools that the African Un...
This peer-reviewed volume contains selected papers from the First EAGLE International Conference on Information Technologies for Epigraphy and Cultural Heritage, held in Paris between September 29 and October 1, 2014. Here are assembled for the first time in a unique volume contributions regarding all aspects of Digital Epigraphy: Models, Vocabularies, Translations, User Engagements, Image Analysis, 3D methodologies, and ongoing projects at the cutting edge of digital humanities. The scope of this book is not limited to Greek and Latin epigraphy; it provides an overview of projects related to all epigraphic inquiry and its related communities.

Il Rapporto della scienza con le condizioni geografiche dei vari Paesi rispecchia il tema delle risorse messe in campo per sostenere branche della ricerca, localizzando gli sforzi per ottimizzare al meglio i vari risultati, secondo i piani prestabiliti e in rapporto alle politiche di investimento. Ma il problema della allocazione delle risorse non è soltanto un problema politico e/o di strategia politica. È anche un problema di etica scientifica, laddove gli scienziati, che sono i diretti interessati, possono rappresentare una parte notevole di quel consenso che, a volte, non è questione scontata, e che, quindi, diviene il primo passo per l’attuazione di una certa politica della/nella r...

Questa disciplina, che ...
