Leadership and governance imperatives for development in the Democratic Republic of the CongoTshiyoyo, Mudikolele Michel January 2012 (has links)
The subject of discourse in this study is ‘leadership and governance
imperatives for development in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’. The
qualitative research method was deemed the most suitable in attaining
the objectives of the study. The study comprises six chapters. The main
objective of the study is to contribute to an understanding of the
challenges that constitute a stumbling block for the establishment of a
system that promotes good governance and places the DRC on the path
to development. Beyond the analysis of challenges, the study also
examines the environment in which leaders evolve and it focuses on
leadership challenges and governance imperatives that prevail in the
current setting of the country. In this context, the study formulates a
framework for leadership development. The study aims at proposing a
perspective for leadership development considering the fact that the DRC
urgently requires leaders who are competent and effective, and who can
consider modern principles of management and governance as provided
by the case studies of Brazil and Botswana in order to offer the much
needed leadership in the nation-building process. Considering the crises
the DRC has endured throughout the years, leadership’s role is of great
importance as leaders have the ability to transform the adverse
circumstances that Congolese people have faced since the inception of
independence. The study insists that is possible only if leaders can
inspire hope and change the patterns of how things have been done in
the country. The DRC needs leaders who are able to help unleash its
potential and allow the country to regain and to maximise its strategic
position as a significant player in the continental geopolitical affairs. The
thesis argues that the success of any leadership mainly depends on the
kind of social order that prevails in the DRC and on the type of the
political arrangement adopted by its leaders.
The main challenge facing the DRC is establishing an effective
leadership. The legacy of colonisation coupled with the misrule by
Congolese cadres have made it difficult for the DRC to secure a system
that promotes good governance and creates conditions for economic
development. An effective and purposeful leadership has the ability to
provide a clear policy guideline that might bring about change in the
functioning of the country’s institutions. In the case of the DRC, an
effective leadership will be the one that will create an environment that
promotes the reforms much needed in the political and administrative
structures of the country and, consequently, enhance conditions for a
successful implementation of policies for the betterment of all. This study
proposes that Congolese people deserve a civilised nation and a set of
capable leaders who can maximise the country’s abundant resources so
that citizens can benefit from the country’s wealth. As soon as the DRC
finds the path to prosperity and development, it will be possible for the
country to also impact positively on its neighbouring countries and the
whole continent at large. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / gm2013 / School of Public Management and Administration (SPMA) / unrestricted

Evaluating the Effectiveness of MONUSCO: Successes and Challenges of United Nations Peacekeeping Operations in the Democratic Republic of the CongoAffonso Leal, Maria Fernanda January 2024 (has links)
This thesis evaluates the effectiveness of the United Nations Organisation Stabilisation Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) in addressing the conflict in the DRC. Through a comprehensive analysis of MONUSCO's performance using established theoretical frameworks and success parameters for UN missions, the study highlights the mission's achievements and shortcomings. By focusing on a single mission, one can thoroughly study the circumstances surrounding the peacekeeping operation, thus allowing a complete understanding of the chosen parameters. Despite some strategic successes, MONUSCO faced significant challenges, including inadequate resources, external interference, and ineffective diplomatic efforts. The findings demonstrate that understanding these factors is essential when analysing mission effectiveness, as they directly impact the outcome and the interpretation of the results.

Politický vývoj v Demokratické republice Kongo od roku 1960 do současnosti, dopady na vztahy v regionu / Political development in the Democratic republic of the Congo since 1960 until today, impacts on the inter-state relations in the regionCahlíková, Tereza January 2009 (has links)
In my diploma thesis I try for an objective evaluation and analysis of the history of the Democratic republic of the Congo since the year 1960, when the country gained its independence from Belgium, until the first years of the 21st century. The whole time period of 50 years of the existence of the country is divided into several intervals according to important events, which influenced the country's political development. Consequently one chapter of the thesis is devoted to each time period. In the conclusion of my thesis I try to evaluate the contemporary situation in the Democratic republic of the Congo and suggest solutions for the future.

Caracterizando o imaginário belga acerca da imigração congolesa: uma análise a partir do jornal Le Soir / Characterizing the Belgian Imaginary of the Congolese Immigration: an analysis of the newspaper Le SoirHonorato, Felipe Antonio 20 December 2018 (has links)
Fazendo uso da teoria da interseccionalidade, a presente pesquisa objetiva caracterizar, através da interpretação da narrativa construída pelo jornal Le Soir sobre a comunidade congolesa em Bruxelas, o imaginário belga acerca dos fluxos migratórios entre a atual República Democrática do Congo e a Bélgica contemporânea, durante o lapso temporal compreendido entre 1989 e 2000. Neste esforço, dentro do período estabelecido, foi possível identificar as levas migratórias de congoleses e sua relação com os diferentes contextos políticos e econômicos do país africano; ficaram visíveis, também, uma realidade de falta de interseccionalidade nas políticas públicas, de abusos, por parte das autoridades, de insuficiência, por parte das instituições, e de estranhamento e exotização, por parte do belga, de forma geral, ante a comunidade imigrante congolesa e também africana presente no país / Using the theory of intersectionality, the present research aims to characterize, through the interpretation of the narrative constructed by the Belgian newspaper Le Soir on the Congolese community in Brussels, the Belgian imaginary of the migratory flows between the now Democratic Republic of Congo and contemporary Belgium, during the temporal lapse between 1989 and 2000. In this effort, within the period established, it was possible to identify the Congolese migratory movements and their relation with the different political and economic contexts of the African country; also, became explicit a lack of intersectionality in public policies, abuses by the authorities, a institutional insufficiency on the part of the institutions, and a relation of estrangement and exoticization, in general, on the part of the Belgian, regarding the Congolese and the African immigrant community living in the country

Addressing the Demand for Small Arms and Light Weapons in the Democratic Republic of the CongoVan Houten, Kirsten 30 November 2010 (has links)
The conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been characterized by armed violence carried out against civilian populations. Despite a formal end to hostilities with outside states, numerous cease fire agreements and an internationally sanctioned disarmament program, Congolese civilians continue to be targeted in attacks. Research suggests that addressing the demand for Small Arms and Light Weapons as part of the broader disarmament process may decrease the proliferation of weapons and reduce armed violence. The research undertaken as part of this thesis attempted broadly to identify some of the factors contributing to the demand for small arms and light weapons in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It suggests that insecurity, weak governance and regional politics, historical and cultural factors and socio economic factors significantly contribute to the demand for small arms and must be addressed in order to reduce armed violence. ?

An analysis of the economic dimension of the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo with recommendations for track one diplomacyCone, Cornelia 29 April 2008 (has links)
The economic dimension of conflicts has enjoyed increasing attention in research dealing with the dynamics of contemporary conflict. The nexus between natural resources, economics and conflict has played a defining role in a number of Africa’s most intractable conflicts during the 1990s and early 2000s. The underlying assumption of this study is that the economic dimension of conflict can be hugely informative in terms of an understanding as to why peace agreements fail and in that sense can contribute to the resolution of conflicts if taken into account during the formulation of peace agreements. This study explores the ways in which conflict theory has dealt with the conflict-economics nexus, analyzing the extent to which theory illuminates the conflict reality in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) during the period August 1998 to August 2004. It determines to what degree peace agreements in the DRC have taken the economic dimension and insights gained from the academic exploration of this topic into account during the negotiation and formulation of these agreements. In conclusion the study proposes a number of recommendations in terms of the peace process in the DRC with possible wider application for other peace agreements. / Dissertation (MA (International Relations))--University of Pretoria, 2008. / Political Sciences / unrestricted

Failed States in International Relations / Zhroucené státy v mezinárodních vztazíchČepilová, Barbora January 2009 (has links)
The aim of the work Failed States in International Relations is the examination of this phenomenon regarding the terminological discrepancy, causes of the state fragility, security and social aspects and the various attitudes from the side of the international communities. A special part is dealing with so called "successfully failed states" where despite the obvious non-functioning the state is able to survive due to the revenues from the natural resources. The ?ndings are represented on the case study of the Democratic Republic of the Congo - a country with huge potential but miserable performance by now.

The Narrative of Conflict Minerals : An Exploration of Sexual Gender-Based Violence and Socioeconomic Impacts of the Dodd-Frank Act in the Eastern Democratic Republic of the CongoEngström, Sara January 2017 (has links)
This thesis elaborates on a complex, multilayered gender perspective of mineral exports in the conflict of the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. The focus lies on the Dodd-Frank Act and its implications for sexual gender-based violence, both conflict and non-conflict related, as well as socioeconomic dimensions. The in-depth analysis of these factors indicates, that after the initiation of the well-intended Act, the occurrence of sexual gender-based violence has increased and socioeconomic situation for women have worsened. Possible reasons can be found in the sole focus on Western narratives and the neglect of local perspectives.
