Geomatic, natural resources and development of the intertropical world
International journal for Geomatics, Regional Planning and Resource Management (RIGAGER)
Le monde intertropical enregistre sa plus forte croissance économique depuis vingt ans. Cette dernière s’explique notamment par une forte demande mondiale pour les matières premières et un investissement accru dans ces secteurs. L’exploitation et le commerce des matières premières représentent la principale source de devises étrangères et de recettes fiscales pour de nombreux pays de la zone intertropicale. Il est donc question de poser autrement la question de la malédiction des ressources naturelles. Les pays qui tirent une forte rente de l’exploitation de matières premières voient souvent la majorité de leur population sombrer dans la pauvreté et la précarité.

International Workshop, Paris-IEDES, 7-8 december 09
Organized by UMR 201, RUME India, Mexico, Madagascar, CIESAS (Mexico) (www.rume-rural-microfinance.org). The main purpose of this interdisciplinary workshop will be a theoretical and empirical examination of over-indebtedness from the perspective of southern countries, with the following underlying hypothesis: to define and analyze the process of indebtedness requires first an understanding of the complexity and diversity of debt relationships. The following questions might be addressed: 1) The social meaning of debt, creditworthiness and over-indebtedness. 2) Financial ‘markets’ and financial providers. 3) Financial culture. 4) Impoverishment and accumulation. 5) Over-indebtedness.
