Multinational Cooperation for Development in West Africa discusses the obstacles and prospects of organizations that were formed to facilitate considerable cooperation in the developing countries of West Africa. The book describes and analyzes the cooperation movement and the United Nations system and role in fostering the process of cooperation in West Africa. A brief overview of West African characteristics; trends and analysis of development; history of the cooperation movement; issues regarding cooperation in West Africa; potentialities of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS); and the impact of the United Nations on the growth of cooperation in the subregion are elucidated in the text. Students of international studies, researchers, economists, sociologists, political leaders of the West African region, and the staff of United Nations agencies will find this book invaluable.
This guide is intended to show how inter-African relations work. There are many continental institutions that between them create a framework within which African states can solve their problems and assist one another with regional economic development, peacekeeping, or political cooperation. The guide provides an historical setting for the institutions that are examined and also gives examples of how they operate in practice.
La plupart des villes africaines sont des établissements humains où toutes les échelles de l’aménagement du territoire font extrêmement défaut. Globalement, leur degré de désorganisation a atteint une complexité qui remet en question le concept même d’urbanisme. Urbanisme durable interculturel au service de la ville africaine de demain pose les jalons de la restauration de l’urbanisme dans les villes africaines. Pour cela, il faut que les décideurs des villes africaines s’habituent à pratiquer un urbanisme qui repose à la fois sur des politiques environnementales et le dialogue entre les cultures. Ils doivent apprendre à faire une réelle planification urbaine axée sur l’urbanisme durable interculturel. Ce dernier est la clé pour penser et construire des villes écologiques, interculturelles, compactes, intelligentes et postcoloniales.
