DESCRIPTION:Le Centre sur les droits de la personne et le pluralisme juridi
 que vous convie à une présentation par Zelalem Kibret Beza\, Boursier O'Br
 ien Fellow en résidence. Il nous parlera de développement et de démocratie
  en Afrique.\n\nRésumé\n\n[En anglais seulement] Arguably\, creating a liv
 eable environment for its citizens is the quintessential dream of every na
 tion. However\, to attain their dream\, nations all over the world have de
 signed different\, sometimes contradictory\, approaches. Among the many de
 bates\, who should come first: democracy or development? It is a perennial
  question. Should nations give precedence to democratize the polity\, or t
 hey should deal with economic development first? Or\, as it intuitively ap
 pears\, are these two pillars of a better society undetachable? These type
  of questions apropos of democracy and development are floated by scholars
  and politicians alike.\n\nIn Africa\, when most countries are neither dem
 ocratic nor economically developed\, the debate over precedence is even ho
 tter and more divisive. Many African nations are ambivalently looking to t
 he West and East for a better model system. In the midst of this ambivalen
 ce and mercurial policy shifts\, citizens of the continent get the short e
 nd of the stick\, i.e. policy focus.\n\nHence\, in the session\, I will en
 mesh my personal stories with the academic works regarding the current sta
 te of the debate in the African continent\, and show how it’s shaping stat
 e policies and the lives of individuals in the ground.\n\nLe conférencier
