Abstract EN:
Guinea is basically and pre-dominantly an agro-pastoral country. However, because of its immense natural wealth, guinea has acquired a status of a major exporter of these mineral resources. The main concern of the government's development policy is to introduce reform measures to redesign and re-structure the economic system inherited from the colonizers and to develop an infra-structure for a balanced growth of its agricultural and manufacturing sectors so as to attain self-suffiency and self-sustained economic growth. The principal hypothesis tested in this study is that the inextricable inter-dependence of nations-governments of the contemporany world is such that one cannot envisage a coherent analysis of the socio-economic problems affecting each of them in a framework as restricted as the limits of their political juridictions. Moreover, we think that the national planners and administrators in guinea are aware of the political, institutional and financial constraints of development. The analysis of these constraints must explore all the factors -endogeneous and exogeneous -challenging the socio-economic development of the country. In so far as the internal factors are concerned our main concern is toidentify all of them which are fundamental in nation building. Undoubtedly, the fundamental social problem in this contest relates with increasing the awareness and conscience of the people in evolving those modalites permitting to attain a certain degree of homogeneity without which the diversication
Abstract FR:
La guinee - conakry est avant tout, un pays a vocation agropastorale. Mais, a cau- se de l'immense richesse de son sous-sol en matieres premieres minerales, elle tend a se transformer en simple productrice et exportatrice de ces minerais. Nous nous pro- posons de reperer les causes de l'inaptitude des economies minieres ou agricoles issues de la colonisation de promouvoir un processus d'accumulation interne capable d'entrainer la creation de systemes productifs relativement autonomes. Notre hypo- these est que l'inextricable interdependance des etats-nations composant le monde contemporain ; est telle que l'on ne peut envisager une analyse coherente des problemes socio-economiques des uns et des autres, dans un cadre aussi restreint que les li- mites frontalieres legales. Nous pensons que la guinee connait au niveau politique, institutionnel, financier, des blocages, dont l'analyse doit permettre de faire res- sortir les facteurs (tant endogenes qu'exogenes) les ayant engendres. Parmi les fac- teurs endogenes, la construction nationale et les modalites permettant d'atteindre a une certaine homogeneite, constituent le probleme fondamental, sur le plan social. Quant aux facteurs exogenes, nous les situons dans la trame des relations elaborees et faconnees par l'histoire entre les differentes parties du monde, ce qui nous rame- ne a l'histoire du capitalisme; donc a l'internationalisation du capital et de la production.
