Vient de paraître The Business of Development in Post-Colonial Africa sous la direction de Véronique
Cet ouvrage est issu du Colloque ’Business, decolonization and development’, organisé par le laboratoire SAGE (Palais Universitaire de Strasbourg, Jeudi 13 et vendredi 14 octobre 2016).
"This collection brings together a range of case studies by both established and early career scholars to consider the nexus between business and development in post-colonial Africa. A number of contributors examine the involvement of European companies (most notably those of former colonial powers) in development in various African states at the end of empire and in the early post-colonial era. They explore how businesses were not just challenged by the new international landscape but benefited from the opportunities it offered, particularly those provided by development aid. Other contributors focus on the development agencies of the departing colonial powers to consider how far these served to promote the interests of European companies. Together these case studies constitute an important contribution to our understanding of both business and development in post-colonial Africa, redressing an imbalance in existing histories of both business and development which focus predominantly on the colonial period. This volume breaks new ground as one of the very first to bring the study of foreign companies and development aid into the same frame of analysis."
