The Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa,
CODESRIA, held its 13th General Assembly, 5-9 December 2011, in Rabat,
Morocco. The theme of the scientific conference was : « Africa and the
Challenges of the Twenty-first Century ». Some of the reasons that influenced
the choice of this theme were to do with how Africa should position itself in
the new global political and economic order in the context of an increasingly
complex neoliberal globalization. Changes in intercultural relations at the
global level, climate change, poverty, rapid urbanization, the ICTs
revolution, the emergence of knowledge societies, the evolution of gender and
intergenerational relations, the role of religion in modern societies, the
emergence of a multi-polar world and the phenomenon of emerging powers of the
South are some of the realities of our world that are widely and extensively
discussed by both academics and policy-makers. This book contains the
statutory lectures of the 13th General Assembly. Each one of them speaks to
major challenges that Africa and the Global South are facing in this second
decade of the Twenty-first Century : neoliberal globalization; capital flight;
the land question; gender relations, with a particular focus on matriarchy;
and universalism.
