Les diverses parties de ce volume collectif explorent les rapports entre gouvernance locale, pratiques populaires et économie sociale. Ce sont aussi les conditions mêmes du développement durable qui sont au coeur de cette réflexion.
This timely book provides an accessible insight into how the concept of sustainable development can be made operational through its translation into legal terms. Understood as a multidimensional legal principle, sustainable development facilitates coherent international law making. Using this notion as an analytical lens on the WTO Agreement on Agriculture, the book considers the unresolved question of what a sustainable and coherent agricultural trade agreement could look like.

In The Secret Struggles of Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg Leaders, Anny Morissette examines Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg actors’ political resistance to the Canadian government amidst threats to the tribe’s traditional political structures. Morissette traces the Anishinabeg political identity through the preservation of traditional, spiritual, and symbolic influences, which have endured despite colonial disruptions. Morissette highlights daily forms of resistance, Indigenous narratives, and tactics of political power from the margins, demonstrating how Anishinabeg actors continue to defy political oppression.
Revisiting Gender Training is concerned with the thinking behind gender education and training rather than with day to day practice. It explores the explicit and implicit assumptions in gender training about the nature of knowledge (epistemology), about how knowledge is imparted (pedagogy), and about knowing (cognition). The book brings together case studies at country, regional and global level to look critically behind the practice. Jashodhara Dasgupta examines whether the primarily 'political' nature of the feminist project has been unobtrusively dismantled by the language and tools of development in India, including the use of gender training. Josephine Ahikire analyses gender training i...
This paper is about the reconstruction of the army in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and particularly about the failed integration of the CNDP. It shows that the different waves of military integration of the CNDP into the army between 2002 and 2012 were negative for the national army of the DRC, the FARDC. The reasons are various: undeserved rewards for integrated former combatants into the army, creating frustration, dissatisfaction and desertion; unfinished integration of armed groups without breaking parallel chains of command and parallel networks; very difficult conditions for the FARDC soldiers on the ground; bad security situation preventing the reconstruction of the army, which is not able to both secure the territory and reconstruct itself; and bad relations with neighbouring countries. This must be added to a lack of political will of the Congolese government and a lack of coordination among donors. This paper argues for an understanding of these failures and the conditions for any future military integration.

Cet ouvrage est le fruit d'un travail collectif qui place au centre de sa réflexion l'analyse des dimensions sociales, politiques, économiques, culturelles et environnementales d'une souveraineté alimentaire assurée à long terme pour les populations.
À partir d’une approche plurielle du pouvoir, la thèse cherche à mettre en évidence comment, dans les organisations d’économie solidaire, il existe un espace pour les femmes qui leur permet de développer une estime de soi et une confiance en leurs capacités. La thèse démontre que ces organisations sont avant tout un lieu dans lequel les femmes peuvent acquérir une certaine autonomie et un pouvoir dans les différentes sphères de la société (familiale, socioculturelle, économique et politique), soit, un empoderamiento. Les femmes se transforment en actrices de changement capables de remettre en cause collectivement les rapports de genre – construction socioculturelle – d...
