This volume analyses key features of recent and ongoing transformations of defence issues, from four key perspectives. These are defence economics, the spatial footprint of defence, human resources management by the armed forces and the international landscape of defence.
This volume provides a policy-relevant analysis of the complex web of contemporary economic trends, political developments and strategic considerations that are shaping the contours of the new post-Cold War world market for weaponry.
The topic of African moral economy was first raised by Goran Hyden in 1980 as one of the main obstacles to economic transformation of the African peasantry. The suggestion caused serious academic debates between the proposer and other scholars on African societies, especially those using political economy as the framework of their analysis. But Hyden continued to defend his thesis until interest in the debate faded out. More recently Japanese scholars have taken up the topic as it appears to have new relevance in comparison with the fast transformations which have taken place in Southeast Asian rural communities. The focus of this book is to give a detailed comparison between African rural communities and those of Southeastern Asia. Attention is focused on the two main aspects of African peasantry life: the right to subsistence and the norm of reciprocity. A wide interdisciplinary approach is employed to demonstrate the dynamism displayed by these societies.

Espace stratégique de l’économie canadienne, la forêt publique est, on le sait, gérée par les provinces et par les grandes entreprises forestières. Pourtant, elle abrite aussi plus de 300 communautés dites « dépendantes de la forêt », qui peuvent elles aussi aspirer à participer à la gouvernance de la forêt. À partir des exemples du Québec (régions de la Capitale-Nationale et de l’Outaouais) ainsi que du Nouveau-Brunswick (région de Madawaska-Restigouche), l’ouvrage explore les façons dont ces communautés réussissent à s’insérer dans les politiques forestières. L’analyse interroge leur capacité locale d’action, c’est-à-dire leur affirmation comme des territoires à part entière, dans des logiques sectorielles d’action publique. Les chapitres réunis ici permettent ainsi une lecture « par le bas » des politiques forestières dans deux provinces canadiennes, complétant une littérature plutôt centrée sur le poids déterminant des marchés internationaux et des régimes forestiers provinciaux.
