Les Cahiers Osu is a publication of the Osu Foundation. It is intended to offer development actors and the general public both the information generated through the work of the Osu Foundation itself, and a space for analyzing and comparing the practices of different actors in the field of human development, with a specific perspective related to Africa. Les Cahiers Osu therefore aims to be a journal analyzing social, economic, and political issues of human development, with a particular focus on the emergence of community-based leadership or leadership arising from communities. Les Cahiers Osu publishes essays, research summaries, and works oriented toward a sociological, philosophical, legal, economic, or related dimension. Finally, Les Cahiers Osu aims to be a meeting place and a crossroads of perspectives, particularly to promote knowledge production in the humanities, social sciences, economics, and management, while fostering openness across disciplinary horizons.
