Maîtrise de l'espace et développement en Afrique
Author:
Publisher: KARTHALA Editions
ISBN: 2811102647
Category : Africa
Languages : fr
Pages : 350
Book Description
Depuis les années 1960, suite à la construction progressive de l'Union Européenne et, bien après, à l'émergence du phénomène de la mondialisation, les dimensions spatiales de développement sont devenues multiples. Aux anciens concepts comme le pays, la région, le territoire national... sont venus s'ajouter des espaces d'intégration régionale et de la mondialisation. De même, la démocratisation de l'Etat et de la société, amorcée dans la plupart des pays africains depuis 1990, a entraîné la promotion de tous petits espaces de commandement issus de la décentralisation. Désormais, les espaces de développement deviennent plus complexes. Faut-il aller de " l'Etat-nation aux Etats-régions " ou de la " Région aux territoires " ? Ce sont là autant de questions qui se posent actuellement à la géographie. Ce volume, Maîtrise de l'espace et développement en Afrique : état des lieux, a pour objectif de faire prendre conscience aux géographes africains des nouveaux enjeux et défis auxquels est désormais confrontée leur discipline. Que signifie désormais l'espace de développement ? Quelle est sa portée économique et politique ? Ces questions sont d'autant plus importantes à soulever qu'en Afrique, l'organisation de l'espace dépend de deux logiques : formelle et informelle.

Book Description
"The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world.... The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon, of the Library of Congress Hispanic Division, has been the editor since 2001, and Katherine D. McCann has been assistant editor since 2000. The subject categories for Volume 59 are as follows: Anthropology Economics Geography Government and Politics International Relations Sociology Electronic Resources for the Social Sciences

Renewable Energy Governance
Author: Evanthie Michalena
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1447155955
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 389
Book Description
This book focuses on Renewable Energy (RE) governance - the institutions, plans, policies and stakeholders that are involved in RE implementation - and the complexities and challenges associated with this much discussed energy area. Whilst RE technologies have advanced and become cheaper, governance schemes rarely support those technologies in an efficient and cost-effective way. To illustrate the problem, global case-studies delicately demonstrate successes and failures of renewable energy governance. RE here is considered from a number of perspectives: as a regional geopolitical agent, as a tool to meet national RE targets and as a promoter of local development. The book considers daring insights on RE transitions, governmental policies as well as financial tools, such as Feed-in-Tariffs; along with their inefficiencies and costs. This comprehensive probing of RE concludes with a treatment of what we call the “Mega-What” question - who is benefitting the most from RE and how society can get the best deal? After reading this book, the reader will have been in contact with all aspects of RE governance and be closer to the pulse of RE mechanisms. The reader should also be able to contribute more critically to the dialogue about RE rather than just reinforce the well-worn adage that “RE is a good thing to happen”.
