Regimes of Responsibility in Africa analyses the transformations that discourses and practices of responsibility have undergone in Africa. By doing so, this collection develops a stronger grasp of the specific political, economic and social transformations taking place today in Africa. At the same time, while focusing on case studies from the African continent, the work enters into a dialogue with the emerging corpus of studies in the field of ethics, adding to it a set of analytical perspectives that can help further enlarge its theoretical and geographical scope.

A groundbreaking analysis of 21st century labour practices in the mining industry and the new scramble for industrial power on the African continent.Since the beginning of the 21st century, African countries with mineral resources have witnessed an unprecedented rise in foreign direct investments and the development of new flexible workforce management practices in the mining industry. But what does this mean for those who actually work in this industry? Based on research in the Congo and Zambia, where a mining boom has led to more than thirty new mining projects in recent years, this book explores the processes of improvisation and adaptation behind the emergence of this neoliberal labour regime. The contributors show how mining projects' labour practices have been mediated, negotiated, or resisted by mine workers, unionists, and human resource managers. They discuss variations in labour practices put in place by new mining projects depending on the type of capital involved, the type of mine being developed, and their location. Finally, the book examines the implications of power dynamics surrounding companies' labour strategies from the broader perspective of the responsibility of trade unions, gender equality, and identity politics.

On avait prédit la disparition des colons et des minorités allogènes en Afrique. Pourtant, dans nombre de pays du continent, les petits entrepreneurs occidentaux et asiatiques ont regagné de l''importance sur le marché et, partant, sur la scène politique. Bien que peu nombreux, ces acteurs étrangers, venus faire fortune en Afrique, ont conquis une nouvelle position stratégique au cours de la période trouble des années 1990-2000. Faut-il y voir une forme de recolonisation sous de nouveaux atours, désormais globalisés ? Ce livre explore ce phénomène à partir du cas des Européens du Katanga, en République démocratique du Congo. Ce livre s''appuie sur une recherche ethnographique conduite au Katanga entre 2002 et 2004. Pour analyser cet objet peu étudié en sciences sociales, l''auteur va chercher son inspiration dans différents champs disciplinaires. Par un aller-retour entre réflexions théoriques et observations ethnographiques, ce livre permet de comprendre le rôle joué par les minorités allogènes dans les évolutions récentes du secteur privé en Afrique. Plus largement, il offre de nouvelles clefs pour analyser le mode de structuration économique, politique et symbolique des sociétés africaines confrontées aux défis du New Scramble for Africa.
