Rural development is linked crucially with rural structure, though the latter is often difficult to analyse. This book analyses rural classes and the diverse relations between producers in order to understand the relationship between Third World farmers and the international economy, and the significance of this for development and underdevelopment. The author introduces a number of theoretical distinctions and devises a systematic framework which is applied to the analysis of a range of rural producers. The book assesses a number of strategies employed in planned development in the light of their implications for rural social structure, and thus for development in the Third World. This book provides an intensive and original conceptual and practical discussion of the possibilities for development under capitalism, and will be of interest to economists, political scientists and sociologists, as well as those working in development studies

This article highlights the potential for increased and more standardised monitoring of a range of aspects of the safety of journalists. This is in the light of a specific indicator that has been agreed by the UN as part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The indicator concerned treats the safety of journalists as a benchmark for tracking progress on SDG target 16.10, which specifies "public access to information and fundamental freedoms" (UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, n.d.) as a development aspiration. Inclusion of this indicator in the SDGs provides a universally legitimated framework with strong catalytic potential. All this holds a promise of improved, more comparative, and increased research output, as compared to the previous situation. The results of new research stimulated by this development, particularly at country level, could have real impact on the safety of journalists.

Describes growth of private and state-owned broadcast media, less impressive growth of print media, foreign players, website development, and trend towards concentration and convergence.

A southern view of media and democracy can benefit from the insights produced by theories of media and development. These highlight critical political questions on the reach of media, its content, state control, alternative media, journalists and public participation, and ultimately the impact of the media. The same theories can also give insight into the understanding of the media and the 'public sphere' in the South, and their place in southern democracy. In the end, the question of democracy and media in the South also needs to be understood in relation to democracy and media in global terms. (ROAPE/DÜI)

The ownership of South Africa's press is changing fast. Alternative papers are vanishing, foreigners moving in, and new monopolies are being formed

Le conflit entre l'Europe et les Etats-Unis, par Guy Berger
Malgré les apparences "techniciennes" de la crise monétaire internationale ouverte le 15 août 1971 par la décision américaine de suspendre la convertibilité du dollar et close par l'accord de Washington du 19 décembre, on est bien en présence dans son fond et dans les voies choisies pour la résoudre, d'une crise politique. Pour la première fois depuis 1945, les intérêts économiques des Etats-Unis et de l'Europe apparaissent nettement divergents. Sous couvert d'un compromis, l'Europe ne peut encore que se plier aux exigences américaines et les solutions apportées, précaires, laissent entiers les problèmes de l'étalon dollar et de la réforme monétaire internationale.

Cette communication se présente explicitement comme un texte à deux voix où chacun, parce qu'il affirme sa singularité et la met en dialogue avec celle d'un autre, contribue à fonder un « nous » qui n'est pas de consensus, somme de « je » plus ou moins semblables, mais un « nous « posé par l'altérité radicale d'un « je » et d'un « tu ». Chacun y a sa voix et parle en son nom. L'un, dans une référence existentielle à Kierkegaard et au « cri infini » de Munch, l'autre à partir de Foucault et du passage qu'il décrit d'une épistémologie de la « similitude » à celle fondée sur la « représentation ». Pour l'un comme pour l'autre il est possible, tant à partir de la prise en compte de notre « éco-relationnalité » qu'en prenant appui sur la possibilité de l'imposture, de manifester dans l'intention même du récit biographique ce que celui-ci constitue comme adresse à l'autre, accueil et appel à l'étranger et hospitalité à la voix de l'autre.
