When, in 1960, France granted independence to its colonies in West and Central Africa-an empire covering an area the size of the contiguous United States-the French still intended to retain influence in Africa. Through a system of accords with these newly independent African nations, based upon ties naturally formed over the colonial years, France has succeeded for three decades in preserving its position in African affairs. The course of Franco-African relations in the near future, though, is less than certain. In this book, Ambassador Francis Terry McNamara outlines France's acquisition and administration of its Black African empire and traces the former colonies' paths to independence. Drawing upon that background, the ambassador examines the structure of post-independence Franco-African relations and recent strains on those relations, especially African economic crises and the French tendency to focus on Europe. Because of those strains, he suggests, France alone may be unable to support its former dependencies much longer. He believes that long-term solutions to African problems will have to involve international organizations like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund as well as other nations such as the United States and France's European partners. -- From Foreword.

It is a political analysis of the promise and problems in this troubled institution, based on extensive interviews with more than 100 White House aides and an equal number of cabinet officers and departmental personnel. It is also based in part on Tom Cronin's personal experience as a White House aide, his involvement in Congress, and his work for a cabinet member."--Book cover.

This book begins with a survey of Congo's early history, when diverse peoples such as the Luba, the Kuba, and the Nilotic inhabited the area, and continues by tracing the country's history through the Belgian period of colonization and the dictatorships of Mobutu and Kabila. Biographical portraits present important figures in Congo's storied history. An annotated bibliography and chronology help make this the most current and accessible introduction to this fascinating, complex, and long-suffering nation. The Democratic Republic of Congo, formerly Zaire, is located at the center of Africa. The country encompasses the entire Congo River Basin, the potential source of 13% of the world's hydroelectric power. The Congo River Basin also contains one-third of Africa's rainforests, countless species of trees, and more then 10,000 species of flowering plants. Congo contains extremely valuable deposits of diamonds and coltan, a metal used in high-tech machinery. Because of this abundance of natural resources, Congo has unfortunately been the site of colonial domination, repressive dictatorships, and internecine violence between rebel groups and neighboring countries.

René Lévesque est né à New Carlisle le 24 août 1922. Après avoir étudié à l’école primaire de New Carlisle et au séminaire de Gaspé, il se retrouve à Québec, où il étudie au Collège Saint-Charles-Garnier. Il commence ensuite des études en droit à l’Université Laval, mais la carrière de journaliste l’attire davantage. Durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, René Lévesque est correspondant de guerre au sein de l’armée américaine. Il revient au bercail en 1945, après avoir vu l’Europe s’entre-déchirer. De nouveaux modèles de reconstruction sociale émergent alors, entre le libéralisme, la social-démocratie et le socialisme. Il y a certes un bouillonnement intellectuel. Nous sommes dans un monde d’expérimentation sociale. René Lévesque est de retour au Québec, dans une société où le conservatisme est omniprésent. Il souhaite ardemment trouver avec ses concitoyens une voie singulière qui permettra aux Canadiens français de s’épanouir comme peuple, comme nation et comme civilisation. Le mot modernisation est sur toutes les lèvres. René Lévesque se trouve aux premières loges; à travers ses voyages et ses rencontres, il cherche à comprendre, à expliquer et à vulgariser ce qu’il voit, ainsi qu’à partager ses réflexions sur notre avenir collectif. Au cours de la période d’après-guerre, le monde se redéfinit. Les États-Unis perdent leur aura comme flambeau de la démocratie, l’Union soviétique s’enfonce dans le totalitarisme pendant que de nombreuses colonies se réveillent et veulent mettre fin au joug colonial. Quelle est la meilleure option pour le peuple québécois? Avec l’équipe de Jean Lesage, René Lévesque jette les bases d’une certaine décolonisation du Québec, et le « Maître chez nous » se traduit par des projets ambitieux : nationalisation de l’électricité, création de sociétés de développement économique, amélioration des programmes sociaux et de santé, appuyés par un réseau universitaire dynamique et innovant qui permettra au Québec de ne plus regarder en arrière, mais de se projeter vers l’avenir. Le mot fierté est au cœur de son projet; il veut montrer aux Québécois et aux Québécoises que tout est possible, et qu’ils ont leur destin en main. Il élaborera ainsi son projet de souveraineté-association : un Québec souverain dans une nouvelle union canadienne. L’affection pour René Lévesque est toujours présente; malgré le temps qui passe, les enquêtes successives menées auprès des Québécois et des Québécoises le placent au panthéon des premiers ministres les plus aimés. Pour souligner le 100e anniversaire de sa naissance, la Fondation René-Lévesque a voulu marquer l’apport exceptionnel de cet homme qui peut revendiquer le titre de père de la nation, avec la publication d’une anthologie de 100 textes tirés de ses chroniques journalistiques, d’entrevues et de discours comme chef d’État. Cet ouvrage se veut un témoignage de cette quête insatiable qu’il aura poursuivie toute sa vie pour trouver des solutions aux divers maux qui accablent nos sociétés. Il montre aussi cette confiance qui l’habitait, soit que le Québec peut contribuer planétairement à résoudre les grands problèmes de notre temps.

Modern America owes the Roman Empire for more than gladiator movies and the architecture of the nation's Capitol. It can also thank the ancient republic for some helpful lessons in globalization. So argues economic historian Harold James in this masterful work of intellectual history. The book addresses what James terms "the Roman dilemma"--the paradoxical notion that while global society depends on a system of rules for building peace and prosperity, this system inevitably leads to domestic clashes, international rivalry, and even wars. As it did in ancient Rome, James argues, a rule-based world order eventually subverts and destroys itself, creating the need for imperial action. The result is a continuous fluctuation between pacification and the breakdown of domestic order. James summons this argument, first put forth more than two centuries ago in Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations and Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, to put current events into perspective. The world now finds itself staggering between a set of internationally negotiated trading rules and exchange--rate regimes, and the enforcement practiced by a sometimes-imperial America. These two forces--liberal international order and empire--will one day feed on each other to create a shakeup in global relations, James predicts. To reinforce his point, he invokes the familiar bon mot once applied to the British Empire: "When Britain could not rule the waves, it waived the rules." ? Despite the pessimistic prognostications of Smith and Gibbon, who saw no way out of this dilemma, James ends his book on a less depressing note. He includes a chapter on one possible way in which the world could resolve the Roman Predicament--by opting for a global system based on values as opposed to rules.

This book looks at petitions over the last five centuries to reconstruct the lives and opinions of 'humble' petitioners. Since Pharaonic times, governments have allowed their subjects to voice opinions in the form of petitions, which have demanded a favour or the redressment of an injustice. To be effective, a petition had to mention the request, usually a motivation and always the name or names of the petitioners. As a result, grievances of ordinary people which were not written down anywhere else are now stored safely in the archives of the authorities to which the petitions were addressed. The petitions considered in this book, which come from all over the globe, offer rich and valuable sources for social historians.
