Inventer Et Mobiliser Le Local available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Over the last decade West African villages, rural towns, and urban neighbourhoods have experienced changes resulting from democratisation and decentralisation processes. While much hope was invested in decentralisation policies in the 1990s, today there is a need to look at everyday decentralisation practices. In this volume, authors of different scholarly backgrounds focus on political, economic and cultural aspects of decentralisation. By exploring party politics, water provision, schooling, territorial division and cultural understanding the case-studies highlight core stakes and fundamental contradictions of present-day decentralisation in West Africa.

Urban Politics After Apartheid presents an understanding of gendered urban politics in South Africa as an interactive process. Based on long-term fieldwork in the former townships 20 years after the end of apartheid, it provides an in-depth analysis of how activists and local politicians engage with each other. Sandrine Gukelberger contributes to the ongoing debate on urban governance by adding a new historicising perspective as an entry point into the urban governance arena, based upon the political trajectories of ward councillors and activists. Integrating urban governance studies with new perspectives on policy and social movements provides insight on the everyday events in which people engender, negotiate, and contest concepts, policies, and institutions that have been introduced under the catch-all banner of democracy. By conceptualising these events as encounters at different knowledge interfaces, the book develops a locus for an anthropology of policy, highlighting everyday negotiations in urban politics. Urban Politics After Apartheid dissects the social life of policies such as Desmond Tutu’s rainbow nation metaphor beyond national symbolism, and academic and public discourse that largely portray participation in South Africa to be weak, local politicians to be absent, and social movements to be toothless tigers. Proving the inaccuracy of these portrayals, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of South African politics, urban studies, political anthropology and political sociology.

Engager l'anthropologie pour le développement et le changement social available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The present APAD Bulletin contains a selection of papers presented at the APAD 2010 Conference in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, on the theme "Engaging Anthropology for Development and Social Change: Practices, Discourses and Ethics." Anthropological engagements face important challenges at the interface of research and development. The different ways by which anthropologists take on societal problems - either in their research capacity, as development experts, as activists, or as citizen - are inscribed in a longstanding debate. In this APAD Bulletin, the contributors deal with the central questions of how and under which conditions anthropology engages with society. The papers range from epistemological reflections and methodological queries to the anthropology of per diem and of public health, as well as to practical problems confronting anthropologists engaged in development cooperation.

Download and read online ebook SmartGrids : les réseaux électriques intelligents write by SABONNADIERE Jean-Claude. This book was released on 2012-04-10. SmartGrids : les réseaux électriques intelligents available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. L'avènement de la libéralisation des marchés de l'énergie a été un facteur clé de succès du développement des énergies renouvelables et de la maîtrise de la demande en énergie. L'insertion massive des productions décentralisées intermittentes sur les réseaux de distribution engendre une complexité de fonctionnement qui est préjudiciable à la sécurité. L'introduction des technologies de l'information et de la communication permet de pallier cette difficulté et ouvre des perspectives nouvelles dans la maîtrise de la demande énergétique en intégrant le consommateur dans le pilotage du réseau. C'est l'objet de l'ouvrage consacré aux réseaux intelligents connus sous le nom de SmartGrids. Le concept de Smartgrids est abordé sous diverses facettes par l'aspect commercial, économiques, réglementaire par des auteurs spécialistes de ces questions. La partie technique est abordée à la fois par l'aspect énergétique et celui des télécommunications et du comptage.
