Accounting Professions in the Arab Region
Beyond Standardization: Professionel Dybnamics and Challenges
Arab countries are confronted, like other countries, to the pressure of standardization, but each one of them is responding from the back ground of its particular history. In such a framework, accounting professions have developed, are regulated, have built professional organizations and training institutions, and are now pressed to adopt international standards. International audit firms tend to impose their methods and model with the expansion of transnational corporation, the multiplication of joint ventures and franchised colmpanies. Beyond cultural gaps, historical evolution and political-economic features, reforms are being designed universally, under the pressure of the World Bank. A better understanding of the accounting profession, of practitioners aims and stakes, can point a way forward. The aim of this project is to discuss these issues in the Arab countries, and to contribute by so doing to a new vision of what is at stake in the recent upheavals they have witnessed.

Challenges and perspectives surrounding habitat in Algeria: understanding for better action
L’urbanisation et la gestion des établissements humains mettent la société contemporaine face à plusieurs défis. En Algérie, la question de l’habitat pose des enjeux politiques, économiques, sociaux, culturels et géographiques. Enrayer la crise de logement est considéré comme étant une priorité majeure par les pouvoirs publics. En somme, la problématique du secteur de l’habitat en Algérie pose la nécessité d’harmoniser la vision architecturale du logement avec les diverses politiques de développement, en dépassant les clivages entre les différentes disciplines scientifiques et les différents opérateurs. Ce colloque a précisément l’ambition de rassembler plusieurs chercheurs et spécialistes de divers domaines afin de débattre des relations dynamiques et complexes qui existent entre l’habitat et sa conception architecturale, la politique urbaine, les mutations socioculturelles, la croissance démographique, le marché du logement, les contraintes économiques, les préoccupations environnementales, les risques majeurs et les performances technologiques des matériaux de construction.
