  Calls for proposals for a collective work

  L’idée d’un ouvrage collectif sur la ville de Tchaourou s’inscrit dans la dynamique des activités de L’Observatoire démographique et statistique des Populations locales (ODeSPoL/ENSPD-UP) qui est un centre de conception, d’observation et de collecte des données statistiques relatives aux différentes dimensions sociales et économiques du développement des communes. La finalité de l’ODeSPoL est de devenir un centre d’excellence en matière de suivi continu des indicateurs statistiques pertinents et des changements socio-économiques des localités pour une planification efficace et efficiente de leur développement.

  Questioning current stakes of pharmaceuticals in Africa

  We wish to discuss the multiple stakes surrounding pharmaceuticals in Africa today, with particular consideration of their markets, the political and economic actors which they mobilize, related instruments of regulation, control and competition, modes of health care in which they are placed, and finally their modes of consumption by individuals, without losing sight of the adaptation of "traditional medicines" to the evolution of economic models. Regulation, with its broad sense of norms actually at play, legislative, biomedical, technical and commercial, seems to transverse these various questions and will thus be widely considered. We anticipate proposals based on current research for presentation on the seven themes outlined below. Submissions can come from the various social sciences (anthropology, sociology, law, history, economy, geography, political sciences), as well as from biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences. Although Africa is central to this discourse, presentations of studies from other continents will be considered with the aim of drawing links with Africa and enriching the discourse with current situations in African countries.
