La responsabilité sociale des entreprises dans le secteur minier: Réponse ou obstacle aux enjeux de légitimité et de développement en Afrique?, by Bonnie Campbell and Myriam Laforce." Canadian Journal of Development Studies / Revue canadienne d'études du développement, 39(2), pp. 329–330
International Remedies for Resource-Based Conflict
Rarely have so many petitioners lined up at the mahogany doors of the Democratic Republic of the Congo's president to present their credentials with brokers and company heads in tow. India's minister of external affairs renewed his respects not so long ago, accompanied by promises to build a cement plant outside of Kinshasa. The Chinese court Congolese officials weekly. Canadians are frequent visitors. Australians and Thai and Pakistanis and Sout…

Transforming Development
Foreign aid is now known more for its failures than its successes, leading to claims in academic and policy circles that foreign aid has outlived its usefulness. Instead of foreseeing the end of foreign, these essays show how it might be restored.

Ritual and History
J. Freedman - Rite et histoire : le cas de Nyabingi. En dépit de contradictions apparentes, résolues par le caractère cyclique des noms royaux, on peut établir que le personnage central et les événements qui servent de base au culte de Nyabingi, ont un caractère historique (fin du XVIIIe et début du XIXe siècle) plutôt que purement mythologique
