  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.

  The Palestinian Political Economy: Daily practices, sustainability and prospects

  Ce colloque scientifique, organisé à Hébron, ambitionne d’aller au-delà des approches institutionnelles. Il vise à permettre aux différents participants de présenter leurs travaux de terrain mais également à favoriser l’échange et le débat. Les contributions mettent l’accent sur différentes études de cas à Jérusalem, Gaza et en Cisjordanie, et liant approches micro et macro-sociales. Sans ignorer les problèmes de dépendance, les participants ont été encouragés à étudier les marchés, le secteur privé et les flux transnationaux. Cet événement scientifique, rassemblant une vingtaine de chercheurs palestiniens et internationaux ainsi que des acteurs économiques, entend aborder une un large panel de questions en confrontant les points de vue et les expériences. La diversité des analyses permettra sans doute de présenter une analyse nuancée de la complexité de l’économie palestinienne et de ses perspectives.

  The Globalization of Production Models and Innovation in Emerging Economies

  Comparative Research on Subnational Industrial Policies

  This seminar will bring together scholars examining research themes pertaining to the evolution of production models in regions of India and China, in relation to the progressive opening of these large economies to trade and FDI. Of particular interest are industrial and innovation policies emerging at the state or provincial level and the manner in which these public policies interact with firm-level strategies in pursuit of more broad-based development goals. Apart from the keynote session, five thematic sessions are planned: Upgrading Regional Industries in India and China; Subnational Industrial Policies in India and China; Social Dimensions of Regional Industrial Performance; Articulating industrial policies between central and local levels; Industrial Districts and Regional Policies.
