The Vietnamese City in Transition
Since the Doi Moi policy of economic renovation was introduced in 1986, Vietnam has undergone deep transformations as a result of the transition to a socialist-oriented market economy. Social and urban transition has taken place in parallel, as urban dynamics were spurred on by Vietnamese public and private stakeholders, and by external agents such as international organizations and international solidarity organizations, experts, consultants and bilateral aid organizations.Here are the results of research carried out by French, Canadian and Vietnamese teams from the north and south of the country on the overarching theme of Vietnamese cities in transition. Some of this research deals with u...

The Business of Development in Post-Colonial Africa
This collection brings together a range of case studies by both established and early career scholars to consider the nexus between business and development in post-colonial Africa. A number of contributors examine the involvement of European companies (most notably those of former colonial powers) in development in various African states at the end of empire and in the early post-colonial era. They explore how businesses were not just challenged by the new international landscape but benefited from the opportunities it offered, particularly those provided by development aid. Other contributors focus on the development agencies of the departing colonial powers to consider how far these served to promote the interests of European companies. Together these case studies constitute an important contribution to our understanding of both business and development in post-colonial Africa, redressing an imbalance in existing histories of both business and development which focus predominantly on the colonial period. This volume breaks new ground as one of the very first to bring the study of foreign companies and development aid into the same frame of analysis
Habitat et environnement urbain au Viêt-nam
La République socialiste du Viêt-nam est l'un des pays en développement les plus pauvres (revenu annuel moyen per capita d'environ 200 dollars américains). Ce document se penche précisément sur l'habitat et l'environnement urbain au Viêt-nam. Les principaux points abordés sont les suivants : population et pauvreté urbaine au Viêt-nam; politiques du logement et du développement urbain; la population pauvre à Hanoi; la pauvreté urbaine à Hô Chi Minh-Ville; des interventions ciblées sur le logement des pauvres à Hanoi; éradication et réhabilitation des bidonvilles à Hô Chi Minh- Ville; et, politiques et programmes d'intervention sur le logement des populations urbaines défavorisées.
Dynamiques religieuses en Afrique australe
Cet ouvrage, auquel contribuent des membres du réseau GDR 846/CNRS et des chercheurs des universités du Cap, du Natal, de Rhodes et de Durban-Westville, propose des lectures croisées sur la sociologie politique du fait religieux en Afrique du Sud ainsi que dans d'autres pays d'Afrique australe. Depuis l'abolition de l'apartheid, la production religieuse confirme certaines tendances, à savoir le déclin prévisible des religions occidentales qui influençaient les politiques coloniales, mais aussi la ruine de la théologie de la libération. Dans le même temps, on enregistre la croissance exponentielle des Eglises indépendantes, la montée sensible de l'islam et des philosophies New Age...
Cities in Transition
This book was written with the aim of showing that even in the era of globalization developments appearing in cities are not subject to almost unconditional global forces. Rather, universal forces are decisive eventualities in the process of urban restructuring, often influencing its course and speed, yet developments and particularities within a city strongly influence the course of events and the extent to which negative characteristics of globalization might occur. Berlin, Brussels, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Jerusalem, Johannesburg, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sarajevo and Vienna: Using these important cities the special relationship between global and local/regional forces is analyzed. The case studies were selected based on their political and cultural context and the fact that their social and political fabric was subject to major changes in the recent past. How global processes manifest themselves locally depends to a great extent on how development processes and endogenic potentials are initiated locally in order to cope with the new global economic and societal conditions.
