  Work in Ethiopia

  Rationalization, dominance and mobilizations

  Work is neither a subject omitted by the research on the Horn of Africa, however this is nor an object of study in its own right. Scholars generally subordinate analysis of work to analysis of development. On the one hand this concept of development is linked with an optimistic vision which highlights the successes of the developmental State implemented in Ethiopia. On the other hand, development is associated to a pessimistic view of the country, focused on poverty reduction.

  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.

  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.
