  China in Algeria

  Global economy and local development

  To what extent the numerous very big Chinese enterprises (especially public capital, more or less controlled by the Chinese government) or smaller ones (privately owned, operated by a diaspora of petty entrepreneurs) today in Algeria in the construction, commerce, industry, services sectors, fosters a new growth dynamic based on a joint local / global economy? This conference should be an opportunity to deepen the debate by examining in particular the effects of the Chinese presence on local development. The papers should describe experiences related to the Chinese presence in Algeria focusing on its effects on the territories, and analyze them in comparison to other experiences in Algeria, Africa and the world. Emphasis will be placed on both the empirical and theoretical aspects. Different approaches (economics, sociology, anthropology, law, geography, political science, demography) could be used to study the environmental issue, to capture the relationship between business and territories and to implement tools and methods associated with these theoretical frameworks in order to achieve a socio-economic diagnosis of territories.

  Gouvernance des métropoles méditerranéennes : quels modèles, quels outils ?

  Dans le cadre des deuxièmes rencontres de l’AViTeM qui auront lieu fin janvier 2015 à Marseille, il est organisé une première journée d’études sur la « Gouvernance des métropoles méditerranéennes : quels modèles, quels outils ? ». Cette première journée d’études organisée dans le cadre du réseau MEDITER vise à favoriser le dialogue entre les universités et les professionnels sur les politiques urbaines et territoriales en Méditerranée. L’objectif final du réseau est de favoriser la naissance de réflexions croisées sur la réalité et les enjeux de la ville méditerranéenne aujourd’hui. Pour cela il s’appuie sur un réseau de laboratoires ciblés et l’organisation de journées d’études thématisées liant recherche fondamentale et praticiens de l’aménagement. Cette journée d’études, avec publication des actes, permettra de poser une première pierre visant à favoriser des échanges scientifiques de haut niveau en matière d’aménagement et de développement territorial sur le pourtour méditerranéen.

  Contestations, Emotions! Social and artistic expressions in the Public Space

  A theoretical and practical perspective from the ground

  During the recent movements of contestation in Mediterranean countries different kind of aesthetic gestures using the streets and the public spaces as places for a public manifestation of some social, ordinary -or radical- critic. They proceed from an ordinary culture that is transformed, adapted then spread out upon a new form in artistic tracks taking place in public spaces. These actions have both a critical and aesthetic dimension. They rely on the environment, mobilize cognitive, memorial and cultural or ordinary patterns. They also mobilize a common culture . This is the case of rap, new uses of old music, villages against occupation, graphic art in Palestine, in Egypt or in Syria. The conference will present and analyse some forms of experimentations, and public and critical commitments. What kind of “public spaces” is in use nowadays? How it configures new spaces of critic and public space and a new environment ? The panel will adopt a trans-disciplinary perspective by bringing together social scientists and practicers or activists.

  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.
