PUBLIC SPENDING AND REAL EXCHANGE RATE INSTABILITIES AND GROWTH IN AFRICA: EVIDENCE FROM PANEL DATA
No full textThe paper investigates the causes of Africa¡¯s poor growth performance. It therefore focuses on the strand of literature that highlights the role of policy instability and uses the dependent economy model as the main theoretical framework. Results from the empirical work indicate that public spending instability increases real exchange rate instability, which in turn exerts a negative impact on both investment and total factor productivity. Further, the empirical investigation suggests partially that real exchange rate appreciation contributes to the decline of sectors with important positive externalities, thereby leading to persistent productivity losses and weak economic growth.Africa, Economic Growth, Macroeconomic Policy, Panel Data

A follow-up on psychiatric symptoms and post-traumatic stress disorders in Tuareg refugees in Burkina Faso
No full textIntroduction: The aim of this study was to carry out a 2-year follow-up of refugees in a camp in Burkina Faso who had been interviewed previously. We also aimed to verify whether the general conditions in which they lived (e.g., protection by international organizations and the conclusion of negotiations and new hope of returning to Mali and reunification with surviving family members) would affect their mental health state. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study repeated over time on a cohort of refugees. People living in the Subgandé camp who had participated in the first survey in 2012 were identified using informational chains and approached for follow-up. Those who agreed were interviewed using the Short Screening Scale for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the K6 scale, French versions, to measure general psychopathology and the level of impairment. Results: The second survey shows a dramatic decrease in psychopathological symptoms (positivity at K6 scale). Improvement was also conspicuous in the frequency of people with stress symptoms (positivity at Short Screening Scale for PTSD and simultaneous positivity to K6 scale). The frequency of people screened positive at the Short Screening Scale for PTSD had also decreased, but the level of improvement was not pronounced. Conclusion: Our findings confirm that when physical conditions improve, psychological symptoms can also improve. Although in the studied sample psychological factors, such as the hope of returning to their own land and thus the possibility of maintaining ethnic cohesion, may have played a role, future research carried out with a proper methodology and sufficient resources to identify protective factors is needed
La communication internationale à l’épreuve de la crise écologique. Contours d’un modèle de la double présence
No full textCet article porte sur l’essor de la thématique environnementale
dans les discours et les espaces institutionnels traditionnellement reliés à la
communication internationale. S’appuyant sur une analyse de contenu d’un corpus
de travaux théoriques et de documents institutionnels remontant aux années 1970,
l’auteur retrace les étapes importantes de l’essor de l’environnement comme
objet de préoccupation dans la recherche en communication internationale. Il
apparaît que les questions de développement et d’environnement y ont émergé avec
un certain décalage temporel et que la dimension communicationnelle est
longtemps restée périphérique pour les problématiques environnementales alors
qu’elle a rapidement été centrale pour les enjeux de développement.
S’intéressant à la mobilisation historique de la question des « ressources »,
l’auteur montre que si elle est aujourd’hui centrale pour le paradigme du
« développement durable », sa généalogie est cependant plus ancienne puisqu’elle
a auparavant structuré les enjeux autour des flux d’information (paradigme
informationnel : C4D) et des orbites et des fréquences (paradigme
télécommunicationnel : ICT4D), avant de s’appliquer à la question
environnementale (paradigme écologique). L’auteur s’appuie sur cette généalogie
critique de la constitution épistémique et institutionnelle du champ de
recherche pour suggérer un modèle normatif s’appuyant sur une éthique de la
responsabilité (inspirée par Hans Jonas) et sur deux métaconditions : un
principe horizontal de participation (communicationnel) et un principe de
résilience (écologique).This article focuses on the rise of the environmental theme in
international communication institutions and discourses. Through a content
analysis of a body of theoretical work and institutional documents dating back
to the 1970s, the author traces the main stages of the rise of environment as an
object of concern in international communication research. It appears that
development and environmental issues have emerged with a certain time lag and
that the communication dimension has long remained peripheral for
environmental issues while it was quickly central to development issues.
Focusing on the historical mobilization of the question of “resources”, the
author shows that, while it is central today for the paradigm of “sustainable
development”, its genealogy is older since it has previously structured the
stakes around information flows (information paradigm: C4D) and orbits and
frequencies (telecommunication paradigm: ICT4D) before applying to the
environmental question (ecological paradigm). The author relies on this critical
genealogy of the epistemic and institutional constitution of the field of
research to suggest a normative model based on an ethic of responsibility
(inspired by Hans Jonas) and on two metaconditions: a horizontal principle of
participation (communicative) and a principle of resilience (ecological)
Bridging Research and Expertise: Dominant West African Trends in Communication Studies
No full text West Africa, in this article, is used as an analytical framework for examining communication research from a diachronic perspective. The text is based on a literature review through which the author analyzed a corpus on West African work (articles in scientific journals, grey literature, and books on African communication research). After briefly sketching scientific production trends at the continental level, the author provides a historiography of West African communication research from the 1940s onwards. The substantial contribution of the subfield of philosophy of communication and the foundational orientation that it has lent to research, especially in the 1980s, are then reviewed in greater detail. Particular attention is paid to Francophone communication and gender research. Finally, the article identifies the discernible trends guiding the future agenda of communication research. </jats:p
