  Devport international conference on ports, maritime transport and development

  Adaptation of maritime and port actors to the vagaries of globalisation

  Le transport maritime est l'épine dorsale du commerce international et un élément moteur de la mondialisation. Les modes et réseaux maritimes sont de plus en plus complexes. La croissance du transport maritime soulève d'importantes questions sur l'évolution du rôle de nœuds dans le transport mondial et de la chaîne de valeur, telles que la mondialisation, le commerce et le développement, la durabilité environnementale. Les changements structurels dans le commerce international et l'évolution du transport maritime ont une incidence directe sur les ports et leurs alentours. L'objectif de cette conférence est de comparer les différentes approches disciplinaires aux questions suivantes : l’adaptation des acteurs de l’économie maritime, portuaire et logistique aux aléas de la mondialisation ; analyser un certain nombre de modèles d’organisation portuaire.

  Globalisation and Minor Cultural Groups

  The role of so-called minority people in rethinking the future of modern societies

  Minority groups, whose way of life has historically suffered from globalization, are often cited as victims of global processes, but they are rarely studied for the techniques or technologies of accommodation and resistance they have implemented as a response to global processes— the most devastating of these processes being colonization in its various aspects. Indeed, globalist literature does not yet offer a conceptualization or theorizing of the social, cultural, political and territorial continuity of “minorized” cultures, let alone does it afford enough analytical space to these so-called cultural minorities in the process of questioning the values and practices of globalization. Therefore, this conference will participate in building more connections between different experiences  in order to think up the best alternatives to the global economic and political system in place and to the way of life brought about by global phenomena which do not work anymore.
