  Competition and solidarity networks in contemporary South Asia's Labour Market 

  Hegemonic neo-liberal discourse assumes that free competition on all levels sparks a virtuous cycle of economic growth, which eventually trickles down to poor populations. Over the past three decades, the idea that restrictive labour laws hamper such competition has justified the deregulation of labour in the North and the un-regulation of labour in the South, notably in South Asia, where labour relations had already mainly been informal. Various sociologists have noted that intensified economic interactions and the rise of competition have made individuals more likely to activate their social networks to protect their individual interests. In this respect, to what extent do social networks shape relations in the diverse South Asian labour markets? How do new forms of social groupings reconfigure competition and solidarity relations? What forms of social interactions prevail, emerge and weaken in the market: chosen solidarity and inherited solidarity; inter-caste and intra-caste solidarity; class solidarity; corporate solidarity etc.?

  Multifaceted Inequality in Contemporary India

  The "Association des jeunes études indiennes" (AJEI) is a student organization whose members are young researchers coming from various disciplines of the human and social sciences (from masters degree to postdoctoral level) whose area of research is South Asia. Every year, a research seminar in France and a workshop in India bring students and scholars together in order to discuss the topics and papers presented. Since 1998 the AJEI organizes an annual workshop in India with the support of international and local partners. This year we propose a three day workshop with an opening lecture, daily presentations discussed by senior researchers, methodological workshops, and a concluding session. One of our goals is also to interact informally, and build relationships, towards creating a strong international network of researchers.

  What food security in India? Economic socio-political and environmental dilemmas,

  The Ile de France perspective

  À l’occasion de la promulgation de la loi sur la sécurité alimentaire le 10 septembre 2013 , par le Président de la République indienne, l’association France-Union Indienne organise, grâce à un financement de la région Île-de-France,  un colloque international sur la sécurité alimentaire en Inde, le 15 novembre 2013, au Centre Sèvres, Paris, en association avec la Fondation Maison des sciences de l’homme. L’objectif de ce colloque est d’éclairer un enjeu décisif, et reconnu comme tel par le gouvernement indien, en éclairant l’articulation entre politiques sociales et politiques de modernisation dans un pays qui compte aujourd’hui 1,2 milliard d’habitants et qui devrait devenir, d’ici quinze à vingt ans, le plus peuplé de la planète. L'AFUI a réuni les plus grands spécialistes, chercheurs, entrepreneurs, décideurs et journaliste pour en débattre.

  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.
