Leçons De La Crise Alimentaire Mondiale De 2008: Comment Le Mali N'A Éviter Le Pire?, William G. Moseley
Leçons De La Crise Alimentaire Mondiale De 2008: Comment Le Mali N'A Éviter Le Pire?, William G. Moseley
William G Moseley
Les prix élevés des denrées alimentaires en 2008 ont déclenché des émeutes relatives aux produits alimentaires dans le monde entier, et l’Afrique occidentale urbaine a été la scéne de nombre de ces perturbations. Le Mali urbain semble avoir échappé aux pires effets de cette crise; les consommateurs sont passés du riz au sorgho, un grain dont la production a connu une augmentation importante, alors même que la production de coton s’effondrait suite à la baisse des cours mondiaux. Cette étude présente un commentaire sur le « biais du riz » dans les cercles de politique générale, la tension entre la …
Structured Transformation And Natural Resources Management In Africa, William G. Moseley
Structured Transformation And Natural Resources Management In Africa, William G. Moseley
William G Moseley
This chapter examines recent trends in African resource-based economies, explores the risks of an economy overly focused on primary production, reviews the theoretical literature on the reasons countries get stuck as peripheral producers, and interrogates past approaches that have been undertaken to pursue economic diversification (failed and successful). In sum, the chapter seeks to answer a few fundamental questions. Given the recent commodity boom, and soaring economic growth rates in many African countries, why should there be cause for concern? How fragile is economic growth based on primary production? Do natural resources intrinsically impede economic diversification? Under what conditions can …
Famine Myths: Five Misunderstandings Related To The 2011 Hunger Crisis In The Horn Of Africa, William G. Moseley
Famine Myths: Five Misunderstandings Related To The 2011 Hunger Crisis In The Horn Of Africa, William G. Moseley
William G Moseley
The 2011 famine received relatively little attention in the U.S. media and much of the coverage that did occur was biased, ahistorical, or perpetuated long-held misunderstandings about the nature and causes of famine. This article addresses “famine myths”—five key misunderstandings related to the famine in the Horn of Africa.

Assessing Sub-Saharan Africa’S University-Level Geography Resources:, William G. Moseley
Assessing Sub-Saharan Africa’S University-Level Geography Resources:, William G. Moseley
William G Moseley
Remarkably few studies have been undertaken to assess the level of university geography resources within Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. While reviews of the state of geography have been done in some African countries, none have been attempted at the continental scale. Such assessments are a starting point for beginning to understand whether or not African students and governments have adequate access to sufficient amounts of geographic knowledge, perspectives and techniques; skills which are increasingly crucial for surviving in a world dominated by rapid change. This study presents and analyzes a simple inventory of geography programs in SSA. The spatial distribution …

Making Study Abroad A Winning Proposition For Pre-Tenure Faculty, William G. Moseley
Making Study Abroad A Winning Proposition For Pre-Tenure Faculty, William G. Moseley
William G Moseley
Internationally focused faculty at the nation’s top liberal arts colleges face an increasingly challenging mix of expectations. First, junior faculty must clearly maintain a high level of scholarly productivity. Second, faculty-student research collaborations are increasingly encouraged even though such mentoring is especially difficult for scholars with an international research agenda. Finally, the integration of research and teaching is also encouraged at many of these same institutions. Study abroad programs may represent underutilized opportunities for faculty to further their own research and contacts, to involve students in aspects of their own scholarship, and as venues for sharing their expertise and place-based …

Moseley, W.G. "Environmental Degradation And ‘Poor’ Smallholders In The West African Sudano-Sahel: Global Discourses And Local Realities, William G. Moseley
Moseley, W.G. "Environmental Degradation And ‘Poor’ Smallholders In The West African Sudano-Sahel: Global Discourses And Local Realities, William G. Moseley
William G Moseley
This chapter explores the 'poverty-induced environmental degradation' thesis in the West African Sudano-Sahel and the extent to which it may be considered an environmental development narrative. It examines: (1) the key elements of this discourse; (2) the degree by which this thesis has been internalized by policy makers in Mali; (3) whether there is empirical evidence to support the notion of poverty-induced environmental degradation in Mali's smallholder cotton zone; and (4) the alternative explanations for environmental degradation in southern Mali (e.g., unsustainable cotton production) and the reasons why these causal factors have been less prominent in environment-development discourse.

Peripheral Vision: Globalization, Sustainable Development, And The Political Ecology Of Cotton Production In Mali, William G. Moseley
Peripheral Vision: Globalization, Sustainable Development, And The Political Ecology Of Cotton Production In Mali, William G. Moseley
William G Moseley
This chapter examines the evolving dynamic among cotton production for the world market, environmental degradation, and global development paradigms in Mali. It examines how cotton production policy in Mali has changed over time and how this evolution implicate globalization discourse. It also examines the environmental impacts of cotton production, how this is problematized, and how solutions are evoked within globalization discourse. A major sub-text of this analysis is that the economy-environment nexus in Mali is the result of intersecting processes operating at different spatial scales: the global cotton market, national level policy, and local production decisions; all underlain by environmental …
