520 _aThis article follows in the wake of the temitorial dynamic of globalization. It highlights the interactions between local government and an asymmetric global competitiveness in a country where the wealth of mining the forestry resources are under the control of the neo-liberal players of globalization (multinational companies, IMF, World Bank) and the Congolese political and military elites, thanks in particular to the privatization of land and the natural resources of the entities decentralized by the new mining, forestry and investment codes. Having becomes a real means of generating artificial revenues for the aforementioned players, these new pieces of legislation dispossess the Congolese local governments upstream, not only financially but also economically and materially and thus undermine their development capacity. - Reproduced.
