Mémoire (de fin d'études) de l¿année 2018 dans le domaine Economie politique - Théorie et Politique monetaire, , langue: Français, résumé: Toute économie qui se veut dynamique et prospère a toujours aspiré a plusieurs objectifs au nombre des quels la croissance économique, le plein emploi, la stabilité des prix ainsi que l¿équilibre budgétaire et extérieur qui constituent les quatre objectifs fondamentaux que pour suit tout le gouvernement. D¿aucun n¿ignorent le rôle important que joue la monnaie au sein de l¿économie a travers ses trois fonctions essentiel qüelle remplit à savoir : intermédiaires des échanges, unité de compte et réserve de valeur.S¿inscrivant ainsi à cette logique, la monnaie nationale ne saurait remplir convenablement ses fonctions essentielles si elle ne jouit pas d¿une certaine stabilité dans ses rapports d¿échange contre les produits et les autres biens. La solidité et la croissance du système financier en dépendent. Un regard vers le passé de notre histoire montre qüentre les années 1990 et 1996, le système monétaire du Congo a été marque précisément par un disfonctionnement qui a entamé fortement la valeur de la monnaie nationale. Les manifestations le plus évidentes de cette crise de la monnaie furent l¿hyperinflation, la dollarisation de l¿économie, la crise aigue des liquidités dans les banques, la perte de crédibilité de la Banque Central et le rejet de certains signes monétaires par la population.

Etude Scientifique de l¿année 2019 dans le domaine Droit - Autres systèmes juridiques, Comparaison de droits, , cours: Droit constitutionnel congolais, langue: Français, résumé: Cet article a pour objectif toute équivoque au de l¿attribution de la régulation de la vie politique qüexerce le Chef de l¿Etat et celle qüexerce la Cour constitutionnelle. Ainsi donc, il y a une différence entre l¿attribution de la régulation du Chef de l¿Etat et celle de la Cour constitutionnelle. Le Chef de l¿Etat exerce alors une régulation politique tandis que la Cour constitutionnelle exerce la régulation juridique. C¿est parce que l¿article 69 de la Constitution expressément cette compétence au Chef de l¿Etat, ce qui laisserait aux autres que pour la Cour constitutionnelle, cette compétence ne lui est pas reconnue. Cependant, même si cette compétence n¿est pas expressément prévue par la Constitution mais elle est considérée comme inhérente à toute juridiction constitutionnelle.

The Irish soldier has never been a stranger to fighting the enemy with the odds stacked against him. The notion of charging into adversity has been a cherished part of Ireland's military history. In September 1961, another chapter should have been written into the annals, but it is a tale that lay shrouded in dust for years.The men of A Company, Thirty-Fifth Irish Infantry Battalion, arrived in the Congo as a United Nations contingent to help keep the peace. For many it would be their first trip outside their native shores. Some of the troops were teenage boys, their army-issue hobnailed boots still unbroken. They had never heard a shot fired in anger. Others were experienced professional soldiers but were still not prepared for the action that was to take place.Led by Commandant Pat Quinlan, A Company found themselves tasked with protecting the European population at Jadotville, a small mining town in the southern Congolese province of Katanga. It fell to A Company to protect those who would later turn against them. On September 13th, 1961, the bright morning air of Jadotville was shattered by the sound of automatic gunfire.The men of A Company found their morning mass parade interrupted, and within minutes they went from holding rosaries to rifles as they entered the world of combat. This was to be no Srebrenica; though cut off and surrounded, the men of Jadotville held their ground and fought.This is their story.

An unforgettable firsthand account of a people's response to genocide and what it tells us about humanity.In April of 1994, the government of Rwanda called on everyone in the Hutu majority to kill everyone in the Tutsi minority.

One hot May morning in 2003, a crowd of Hutus who had participated in the genocidal killings of April 1994 in Rwanda filed out of prison and into the sunshine, singing hallelujahs, their freedom granted by presidential pardon. As they returned to their old villages, Tutsi survivors watched as the people who had killed their neighbors and families returned to the homes around them. In The Antelope's Strategy, Jean Hatzfeld returns to Rwanda to talk with both Hutus and Tutsis struggling to live side by side. We hear the voices of killers who have been released from prison or returned from exile, and Tutsi escapees who must now tolerate them as neighbors. How are they managing with the process of reconciliation? Is such a thing even possible? The enormously varied answers Hatzfeld gets suggest that little faith in true recovery survives among those who lived through the genocide. This is an astonishing exploration of the pain of memory, the nature of stoic hope, and the ineradicability of grief.

Daniela Kroslak explores what the responsibility to prevent genocide entails by asking the following questions about what happened in Rwanda in 1994: To what extent can external actors, such as the French government, be held responsible for not preventing or suppressing genocide? Why did outsiders remain passive while Hutu extremists perpetrated genocide against their compatriots? How can the French government's responsibility be evaluated? What was France's role in the chilling events that took place in Rwanda? Focusing on three key themes-French awareness of the impending disaster, French involvement before the genocide, and French diplomatic efforts and military capacity to change the tide-Kroslak concludes that "never againmust be upheld by action and accountability.

In A Continent for the Taking Howard W. French, a veteran correspondent for The New York Times, gives a compelling firsthand account of some of Africa's most devastating recent history-from the fall of Mobutu Sese Seko, to Charles Taylor's arrival in Monrovia, to the genocide in Rwanda and the Congo that left millions dead. Blending eyewitness reportage with rich historical insight, French searches deeply into the causes of today's events, illuminating the debilitating legacy of colonization and the abiding hypocrisy and inhumanity of both Western and African political leaders. While he captures the tragedies that have repeatedly befallen Africa's peoples, French also opens our eyes to the immense possibility that lies in Africa's complexity, diversity, and myriad cultural strengths. The culmination of twenty-five years of passionate exploration and understanding, this is a powerful and ultimately hopeful book about a fascinating and misunderstood continent.

In 1859, at age fourteen, Florence Szász stood before a room full of men and waited to be auctioned to the highest bidder. But slavery and submission were not to be her destiny: Sam Baker, a wealthy English gentleman and eminent adventurer, was moved by compassion and an immediate, overpowering empathy for the young woman, and braved extraordinary perils to help her escape. Together, Florence and Sam -- whose love would remain passionate and constant throughout their lives -- forged into literally uncharted territory in a glorious attempt to unravel a mysterious and magnificent enigma called Africa.A stunning achievement, To the Heart of the Nile is an unforgettable portrait of an unforgettable woman: a story of discovery, bravery, determination, and love, meticulously reconstructed through journals, documents, and private papers, and told in the inimitable narrative style that has already won Pat Shipman resounding international acclaim.

The book concludes with a discussion of specific steps that could halt the disappearance of Africa's art and antiquities.

Esteemed scholar David Van Reybrouck balances hundreds of interviews with a diverse range of Congolese with meticulous historical research to construct a multidimensional portrait of a nation and its people.Epic in scope yet eminently readable, both penetrating and deeply moving, Congo--a finalist for the Cundill Prize--takes a deeply humane approach to political history, focusing squarely on the Congolese perspective, and returns a nation's history to its people.
