La Peche Artisanale a la Securite Alimentaire au Maroc et liberalisation du commerce - selon une perspective genre.
|
Hassania Chalbi-Drissi IGTN Tunis
|
07/01/08
|
Dans la conjoncture actuelle où le jeu des forces politiques et économiques internationales n’offre que des perspectives limitées au commerce des pays du Tiers Monde, on peut se demander ce qu’il en est de la libéralisation du commerce des produits de la pêche, en particulier de la pêche artisanale où se trouvent cantonnés de plus en plus d’effectifs féminins (40% au Maroc) travaillant pour la production mondiale essentiellement.

Bank of the South Initiative
|
Ruth E. S de Mello, IGTN Brazil focal point.
|
05/06/08
|
This article ilustrates the Bank of the South initiative processess. Suspensions and delays may be justified by some important differences that exist among the countries involved in the Bank’s founding process and which constitute key factors in this sense. However, the difficulties encountered in the Bank of the South’s process of inception cannot be explained merely by these deficiencies. In fact, the key areas of potential conflict have to do without a doubt with the Bank’s role, the composition of the capital stock, and the decision-making system.

Evaluating Gender Centred Definitions of Human Security
|
Liepollo L Pheko
|
12/18/07
|
Conventional or traditional security is more concerned with acquiring armaments and military defence infrastructure and largely perceives security to be the responsibility of the State and its agents including the army, the police and other defence personnel. The evolving definitions recognise communities, private citizens, NGOs, families and other non traditional actors who have a vested in the security of the State as key role players and their well-being as a critical outcome and objective of security.
