This book offers the readers with a nuanced discussion on the promotion, protection, and fulfilment of aspects of economic, social, and cultural rights in Botswana. Borrowing from lessons from other jurisdictions, international and regional standards, contributors to this book highlight the extent to which the country’s policy, legal and constitutional framework has provided for the enjoyment of these rights. With specific cases studies on the right to education, the right to the environment, the right to water, the right to adequate housing and social security, the book discusses the country’s policy, legal and constitutional framework relating to these rights in Botswana. The book also discusses the justiciability of economic, social, and cultural rights in Botswana. To that end, the book offers an insight into the nature and extent of the enjoyment of these rights in a jurisdiction where they are neither constitutionally protected nor spelt out as directive principles of state policy.

West Africa’s Trouble Spots and the Imperative for Peace -Building
This monograph highlights the necessity for taking preventive measures in the form of peace-building as a sustainable and long-term solution to conflicts in West Africa, with a special focus on the Mano River Union countries. Apart from the Mano River Union countries, efforts at resolving other conflicts in say, Guinea Bissau, Senegal, C?te d’Ivoire and Nigeria, have suffered from a lack of attention on the post-conflict imperatives of building peace in order to ensure that sustainable peace is achieved. Given the often intractable and inter-related nature of conflicts in this region, it argues for the need to revisit the existing mechanisms of conflict resolution in the sub-region with a view to canvassing a stronger case for stakeholders towards adopting the peace-building strategy as a more practical and sustainable way of avoiding wars in the sub-region. Peace-building in consonance with its infrastructure is a more sustainable approach to ensuring regional peace and stability and, therefore, ensuring development for the peoples of West Africa. Dr Osita Agbu is currently a Senior Research Fellow at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, Lagos. His areas of specialization include Peace and Conflict studies, Governance and Democratization and Technology and Development. He was until recently, a Visiting Research Fellow at the Institute of Developing Economies, Chiba, Japan.
L’industrie musicale au Sénégal : Essai d’analyse (Printed)
Des logiques d’actions plurielles et différentes dimensions sous-tendent la construction du fait musical au Sénégal, produite par plusieurs pôles d’acteurs interagissant entre des structures contraignantes et une relative autonomie. Dans une industrie musicale marquée par de profondes mutations socioculturelles et socioéconomiques, « informel de la musique » et processus de « formalisation » cohabitent de manière problématique. L’industrie musicale, en expansion, est dès lors appelée à s’organiser selon un cadre véritablement formel. La question des droits d’auteur à travers les règles de rémunération et leur application est alors instamment posée. Parallèlement, la politique culturelle de l’Etat, ainsi que les liens, selon diverses modalités, entre champ musical et politique, sont passés en revue. Cet essai tente de poser un certain nombre de questions et se présente en définitive comme une invite à la réflexion et à l’action.
