Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a deep dive into the relationship between legislation and the culture of agriculture, with special attention given to its effects on factors like population, manufacturing, and trade. Through the lens of historical examples, the author shows how legislation can either promote or hinder the prosperity of agricultural communities and the broader economy. The book emphasizes the importance of a legislative framework that encourages rural development, supports farmers, and fosters an environment conducive to agricultural growth. It also highlights the need to balance the interests of agriculture with other sectors, such as manufacturing and commerce, to achieve sustainable and equitable economic development. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights for policymakers, economists, and anyone interested in understanding the complex interplay between legislation and the agricultural sector. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Akademische Arbeit aus dem Jahr 2023 im Fachbereich Politik - Region: Afrika, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: En publiant son dernier recensement de la population en France en 2021, l¿Institut National de la Statistique et des Etudes Economiques (INSEE) donnait la décomposition de la population vivant en France selon le lieu de naissance et la nationalité.On peut retenir que la population française était estimée à 67.626.000 d¿habitants. Dans cet ensemble, 4.454.000 étaient de nationalités étrangères soit 6,6% de la population totale. L¿Afrique se positionnait comme le continent le plus représenté avec près 2.318.000 de ressortissants sur le territoire français. Ces différents chiffres sur l¿immigration ont une fois de plus interrogé et suscité la curiosité de bon nombre de français sur l¿effectif d¿étrangers sur leur territoire.Mais aussi ont servi à animer les débats de la précédente élection présidentielle où l¿immigration était l¿un des thèmes majeurs du programme politique de chaque candidat. Certains candidats voyant dans l¿immigration un danger social, économique et même identitaire, ont pointé du doigt le fait qüil y avait trop d¿étrangers en France. Soulignant au passage que la France n¿arrivait plus à contrôler le flux migratoire sur son sol et par ricochet demandé une politique plus rigoureuse ou du moins plus ferme sur le sujet. D¿autres, ne niant pas le fait d¿une politique vieillissante face au phénomène migratoire ont suggéré un encadrement plus dynamique prenant en compte certaines réalités contemporaines.Ainsi avec ces constats, le nombre d¿étrangers vivant en France suscite des querelles et divergences sur la scène politique. Cependant si la France est considérée depuis plusieurs décennies comme le berceau des droits de l¿homme et terre d¿immigration, elle peine et semble impuissante à dépassionner le débat autour de l¿immigration venant d¿Afrique et en particulier subsaharienne.Les étrangers surtout africains sont désignés pour comme être à l¿origine des maux et crises que traversent la France depuis de nombreuses années en augmentant par conséquent le risque de précarité, d¿endettement et la dégradation de l¿image du pays. Le journaliste américain Mencken Henry Louis, disait à ce propos en 1924 : «Lorsqüun pays va mal, il est facile de blâmer les étrangers plutôt que de chercher les vraies causes de la crise». Tous ces interrogations et polémiques que suscite l¿immigration ne datent pas d¿aujourd¿hui. Elles tirent leur origine de la crise qüa traversé la France dans les années 1970.…
