Facteurs de transition de la micro-entreprise à l’entreprise capitaliste moderne : un examen du cas de la République démocratique du Congo (Printed)
Pour faire face à l’inefficacité du modèle étatique de développement des années 1960-1970, les initiatives privées et l’entreprenariat ont été encouragés comme un moyen de sortir les économies africaines au sud du Sahara de leur marasme chronique. Dans le cas de la République démocratique du Congo, ce changement d’orientation économique a entrainé l’émergence de micro et petites entreprises qui -compte tenu de leur manque de structuration, de leur évolution en marge du cadre légal, de leurs insuffisances intrinsèques à pourvoir des emplois durables et de leur faible impact socio-économique- ont montré leur limite quant à leur capacité de fournir un gage de développement durable. Avec une approche méthodologique basée sur la micro-économie, la statistique et l’économétrie, ce livre scrute l’environnement économique, mais aussi légal et financier dans lequel évoluent les PME congolaises. Ce livre tente aussi de répondre aux questions liées aux facteurs de croissance, aux conditions et mécanismes qui doivent constituer le soubassement du développement des PME dans le contexte de la RDC. Un développement qui facilitera la transition vers l’ère de l’entreprise capitaliste moderne.
Gender, Science and Technology: Perspectives from Africa (Printed)
This sixth volume of the CODESRIA Gender Series is a collection of discourses, perspectives, practices and policies on the role of the female gender in science and technology, particularly in the African context. Although widely advocated as the indisputable foundation for political and economic power in the modern world, science and technology remains marked by various layers and dimensions of gender inequality that work to the disadvantage of girls and women. Despite the fact that a lot of awareness has been created, and gender issues are now more readily acknowledged by various development initiatives in Africa, participation in science and technology still remains a hurdle as far as girls and women are concerned. A common theme that runs through the book is how feminine identities, ideologies of domesticity and gender stereotypes, and the inadequacy or lack of clear policies facilitate the invisibility of women in science and technology. This notwithstanding, women have never ceased devising clever and ingenious ways that would enable them to master nature, from the margins. The book provides a window onto the current state of female participation in science and technology in Africa, along with an analysis of the historical backgrounds, current educational and professional contexts, and prospects for the future. While it is evident that more research needs to be done, with more groups in different regions, this volume brings together a rich and inspiring collection of qualitative insights on gender, science and technology in Africa. The CODESRIA Gender Series acknowledges the need to challenge the masculinities underpinning the structures of repression that target women. The series aims to keep alive and nourish African social science research with insightful research and debates that challenge conventional wisdom, structures and ideologies that are narrowly informed by caricatures of gender realities. It strives to showcase the best in African gender research and provide a platform for emerging new talents to flower.
