A travers le cas pratique de la région des populations de la Nawa, au Sud-Ouest du pays, la présente étude socio-anthropologique vise à tester la portée sociale de cette innovation technologique dans le système d’enregistrement des faits d’état civil en général, et particulièrement, la dimension des naissances et décès. Elle s’est déroulée de Février à Mai 2018 et a mobilisé un échantillon de deux- cent-cinq (205) participants, constitués d’autorités administratives, coutumières et populations des localités cibles. Cette population d’enquête a été choisie selon les techniques d’échantillonnage accidentel et de choix raisonné et investiguée à l’aide de questionnaires et de guides d’entretien. Les résultats ont révélé que la plupart des populations ont marqué leur adhésion aux nouveaux mécanismes de déclaration des naissances et décès dans les délais en ce sens que, désormais, c’est l’institutionnel qui converge vers le social (ou l'administration de l'état civil qui converge vers les populations) par l’entremise des Points de Collecte Communautaires (PCC) et Points de Collecte Sanitaires (PCS), chose qui autrefois, n’existait pas.

    Urban-bias and the Roots of Political Instablity: The case for the strategic importance of the rural periphery in sub-Saharan Africa By Beth Sharon Rabinowitz A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Steven K. Vogel, Chair Professor Michael Watts Professor Robert Price Professor Catherine Boone Fall 2013 COPYRIGHT Abstract Urban-bias and the Roots of Political Instablity: The case for the strategic importance of the rural periphery in sub-Saharan Africa By Beth Sharon Rabinowitz Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Steven K. Vogel, Chair Urban-bias and the Roots of Political Instability: the case for the strategic importance of the rural periphery in sub-Saharan Africa seeks to unravel a conundrum in African politics. Since the 1980s, we have witnessed two contradictory trends: on the one hand, coups, which have become rare events world-wide, have continued to proliferate in the region; concurrently, several African countries – such as Ghana, Uganda, Burkina Faso and Benin – have managed to escape from seemingly insurmountable coup-traps. What explains this divergence? To address these contradictory trends, I focus initially on Ghana and Cote d‟Ivoire, neighboring states, with comparable populations, topographies, and economies that have experienced contrasting trajectories. While Ghana suffered five consecutive coups from the 1966 to 1981, Cote d‟Ivoire was an oasis of stability and prosperity. However, by the end of the 20th century, Ghana had emerged as one of the few stable two-party democracies on the continent, as Cote d‟Ivoire slid into civil war.
