Guide sur le traité de Marrakech et les TIC accéssibles au Burkina Faso

Les pays membres de l’Organisation Mondiale de la Propriété Intellectuelle (OMPI) ont adopté le traité de Marrakech en 2013. Ce traité établit un ensemble de normes à internaliser dans les législations nationales des pays l’ayant ratifié afin de garantir l’existence de limitations et d’exceptions aux droits d’auteur, au profit des personnes aveugles, des déficients visuels et des personnes ayant d’autres difficultés de lecture des textes imprimés. En initiant ce guide sur le traité de Marrakech et les TIC accessibles, l’UN-ABPAM souhaite jouer son rôle pionnier aussi bien au Burkina Faso que dans la sous-région ouest-africaine en tant qu’entité autorisée à la production, à la distribution et au partage des livres aux formats adaptés. C’est le lieu pour nous de témoigner notre gratitude à l’égard du gouvernement burkinabè pour son engagement sans cesse renouvelé en faveur de l’intégration et de la promotion socio-économique des aveugles et malvoyants. Nos remerciements vont également à l’endroit des partenaires qui nous accompagnent dans la réalisation de ce guide, en l’occurrence « LIGHT FOR THE WORLD International », le « consortium DAISY » et le « Consortium des Livres Accessibles ». Nous souhaitons que ce guide constitue un instrument de plaidoyer pour l’inclusion des personnes handicapées visuelles dans les milieux scolaires, universitaires et dans le monde du travail.

Guide to Methods for Students of Political Science

Stephen Van Evera greeted new graduate students at MIT with a commonsense introduction to qualitative methods in the social sciences. His helpful hints, always warmly received, grew from a handful of memos to an underground classic primer. That primer evolved into a book of how-to information about graduate study, which is essential reading for graduate students and undergraduates in political science, sociology, anthropology, economics, and history--and for their advisers. *How should we frame, assess, and apply theories in the social sciences? "I am unpersuaded by the view that the prime rules of scientific method should differ between hard science and social science. Science is science." *A section on case studies shows novices the ropes. *Van Evera contends the realm of dissertations is often defined too narrowly "Making and testing theories are not the only games in town. . . . If everyone makes and tests theories but no one ever uses them, then what are they for?" *In "Helpful Hints on Writing a Political Science Ph.D. Dissertation," Van Evera focuses on presentation, and on broader issues of academic strategy and tactics. *Van Evera asks how political scientists should work together as a community. "All institutions and professions that face weak accountability need inner ethical rudders that define their obligations in order to stay on course."

Further, it provides researchers with in-depth analysis of important subtopics and connections to other aspects of politics. Key Features: Thematic, narrative chapters, organized into six major parts, provide the context, as well as in-depth analysis of the unique system of party politics in the United States. Top analysts of party politics provide insightful chapters that explore how and why the U.S. parties have changed over time, including major organizational transformations by the parties, behavioral changes among candidates and party activists, and attitudinal changes among their partisans in the electorate.
