Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Pendant les décennies 1850 et 1860, beaucoup d'efforts ont été consacrés au maintien de la production du coton brut, destiné à l'exportation, dans différentes régions de l'Afrique occidentale. A partir du cas des marchands de Manchester, et à la lumière tant des documents du « Colonial Office » que des sources privées et publiques de Manchester, l'auteur étudie les causes et effets de ces efforts. II les replace d'abord dans le contexte des vues contemporaines sur l'impérialisme européen en Afrique occidentale et, en particulier, dans celui de l'importance qui s'avère capitale, à l'époque, de rechercher des marchés et des sources nouvelles de matières premières. Il s'applique ensuite à définir la nature des rapports qui s'établissent, d'une part, entre le gouvernement et les divers groupes de pression et, d'autre part, entre la métropole et la périphérie. Enfin, il conclut que si l'étude de ce cas particulier ne jette pas toute la lumière sur le rôle qu'ont pu jouer les matières premières dans les relations qu'a entretenues la métropole avec les zones périphériques, elle n'en démontre pas moins l'importance du problème et tout l'intérêt qu'il peut susciter.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
