Trade and traders throughout history
Linked to human societies through the ages, trade has taken many forms; it was associated with the appearance of man since barter between tribes and groups of people in the primitive era. This has been one of the pillars of political entities (kingdoms, principalities, Nations and Empires) during all historical periods; it was a factor in their appearance and economic dynamism, a source of political and financial resources due to significant revenue provided to the public treasury power. Trade was behind the emergence of several social phenomena and changes that have affected certain groups of society; it was and is a tool for traffic or movement of social actors, values, and ideas between communities. Currently, trade is of great importance for economic development in all countries ; it is a real challenge that has had an impact on the lives of people, their daily lives, and human and economic development.

Cette journée d’études vise à examiner le rôle et la motivation des missionnaires – chrétiens, musulmans sunnites et ismaéliens, bahaïs et autres – dans leur participation aux politiques de développement. Par leur présence au cœur des sociétés coloniales, leur action éducative ou sanitaire, ils constituent un vivier naturel pour les organisations de développement. La question de leur recrutement, celle de l’action et de la doctrine des institutions religieuses de développement, de l’articulation entre missiologie et développement, seront au cœur des huit contributions, qui évoqueront tant l’Afrique subsaharienne que le Proche-Orient ou les organisations internationales.

Climatic change, air quality and energy challenges: the role policy in urban transport and preventative measures in developing countries and emerging economies
Transport is an integral component of sustaining livelihoods: without efficient urban transport mankind would not survive and develop and nor would economies. Yet, despite the immense benefits that transport enables, such as access to jobs, markets, education, and consumer goods and services via global supply chains, the transport sector generates substantial disbenefits. These include dependence on non-renewable energy, greenhouse gas emissions, local pollutions, road accidents and inequalities of access. Such disbenefits clearly demonstrate that the transport sector is currently unsustainable economically, environmentally and socially.
