Enjeux fonciers et développement "durable" au Mali

2012

Making the land issue a total economic phenomenon and capital the driving force of development equates to giving free rein to the commodification of the land. Is it really necessary for Mali to sell off its agricultural land and its land resources to access development? For what development? Does development demand that family-run small farming operations and age-old, traditional land management methods be sacrificed? Ever since the country attained national sovereignty in 1960, Mali ‒ a poor country in sub-Saharan Africa ‒ has been seeking in vain to achieve rapid economic, social and industrial development by all the means available, with the exception of the deployment of an endogenous d…

Exogenous Interference: The European Union’s Economic Partnership Agreements and the Stalled SADC Customs Union

2017

Focussing on the struggle for the scheduled SADC Customs Union, Muntschick reveals that extra-regional actors can actually have a negative impact on regional economic integration in the SADC. Firstly, this chapter refers to the organisation’s agenda on market integration and clarifies the intra-regional demand for the envisaged customs union. Secondly, it highlights the SADC member states’ important but asymmetric trade relations to the European Union and, in regard to this shadow structure of extra-regional interdependence, explains the interfering impact of Brussels’s Economic Partnership Agreements (EPA) on deeper market integration in the SADC. This chapter concludes that the European U…

2021

En este artículo, por primera vez, se ponen en relación las teorías teatrales de dos dramaturgos españoles que crearon escuela: Lope de Vega y Leandro Fernández de Moratín. Dos siglos separan sus creaciones, pero ambos pretendieron renovar la escena con sus poéticas, ambos pretendieron una «nueva comedia» que rompiera con las tradiciones teatrales inmediatamente anteriores. Las obras dramáticas de uno y otro autor, en realidad se sitúan en polos opuestos en cuanto a su extensión; la de Lope abarca más de cuatrocientos títulos, mientras que Moratín apenas tiene en su haber media decena de piezas. El más fecundo e internacional poeta dramático español y el más comedido de entre los dramaturgo…

Sombrero lids’ and children’s pots. An Early Bronze Age shaft grave from Tell Shiyukh Tahtani

2006

Tell Shiyukh Tahtani is one of the ancient mounds in the upper Syrian Euphrates Valley, which has been recently investigated by a team of the University of Palermo as part of the Tishreen Dam Salvage project1. Apart from various levels of occupation, ranging from the early third millennium B.C. to classical and Islamic times, these excavations have brought to light a fairly large amount of graves (about 90), which, beside providing many interesting finds, allow us to undertake a detailed study of Bronze Age burial practices at the site and in northern Syria as a whole. In dedicating the present paper to Uwe Finkbeiner, who has, as an excavator, made a great contribution to the archaeology o…
