Book Description
Face à la globalisation, les concepts de développement local et de gouvernance territoriale font désormais partie des paradigmes prioritaires du développement. Comment développer une relation de causalité positive entre une mondialisation qui suppose une gouvernance globale et un développement locale qui appelle une gouvernance territoriale ? Comment articuler l'approche de développement local conçue comme une démarche qui se veut collective et endogène, inclusive et participative, axée sur la construction d'un territoire restreint, avec la contribution de ce territoire au mouvement général du développement ? La vision du local peut-elle s'intégrer dans une perception du global sans compromettre la nécessaire dynamique qui doit réguler et rythmer les deux démarches appelées à être complémentaires, tant dans les stratégies que dans les agendas de réalisation? Présenté comme un modèle de développement alternatif, le développement local est devenu une référence et tend à s'imposer dans les discours de politique économique. Il place les acteurs au cœur de la gestion des territoires et nécessite la jonction avec de nouveaux espaces avec la mise en œuvre de nouveaux instruments de dialogue. C'est pour réfléchir et mettre en cohérence toutes les idées qui irriguent les discussions sur le développement local, la Gouvernance territoriale, la globalisation que le GERAD a réuni d'éminents experts dans les domaines du développement territorial, de l'aménagement, de la culture, pour jeter des regards croisés sur les enjeux et perspectives de ces problématiques. Le fruit de ces réflexions prospectives, dont l'essentiel est consigné dans ce livre, nous ouvre de nouvelles pistes et des perspectives qui préfigurent des projets de sociétés bâtis sur un ancrage entre le local et le global.

Book Description
It is estimated that literally billions of residents in urban and peri-urban areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America are served by onsite sanitation systems (e.g. various types of latrines and septic tanks). Until recently, the management of faecal sludge from these onsite systems has been grossly neglected, partially as a result of them being considered temporary solutions until sewer-based systems could be implemented. However, the perception of onsite or decentralized sanitation technologies for urban areas is gradually changing, and is increasingly being considered as long-term, sustainable options in urban areas, especially in low- and middle-income countries that lack sewer infrastructures. This is the first book dedicated to faecal sludge management. It compiles the current state of knowledge of the rapidly evolving field of faecal sludge management, and presents an integrated approach that includes technology, management, and planning based on Sandecs 20 years of experience in the field. Faecal Sludge Management: Systems Approach for Implementation and Operation addresses the organization of the entire faecal sludge management service chain, from the collection and transport of sludge, and the current state of knowledge of treatment options, to the final end use or disposal of treated sludge. The book also presents important factors to consider when evaluating and upscaling new treatment technology options. The book is designed for undergraduate and graduate students, and engineers and practitioners in the field who have some basic knowledge of environmental and/or wastewater engineering.

Book Description
This bilingual publication results from a four-day symposium aimed at capturing the general directions and analytical issues that characterize approaches to sustainable use in Africa. The papers included in this work are organized under four major headings: modes of use, devolution, scale issues and external issues. Authors explore these themes through the use of case studies and the description of specific regional experiences. External issues are further explored in a series of commissioned policy papers which have also been included.

Book Description
Developmental evaluation has emerged fairly recently as a way to support adaptive learning in complex and emergent initiatives. Combining the rigour of evaluation with the flexibility and imagination required for development, this new form of evaluation brings critical thinking to bear on the creative process in initiatives involving high levels of uncertainty, innovation, emergence, and social complexity.

Book Description
This volume offers an introduction to some Web 2.0 technologies. The primary goal of the volume is to establish where we are in terms of Web 2.0 tools for teaching and research, especially in language education. While the volume introduces many Web 2.0 tools and explores how these tools can be used in a classroom, it also offers reader an array of options in how to carry out SLA research using those tools.
