Circulations in the global South: Ethnographic explorations of globalized exchanges
APAD Conference
After the Roskilde conference in 2018, devoted to mobility and migration, the Association for the Anthropology of Social Change and Development (APAD) proposes for its 2020 edition, co-organized with the Department of Anthropology and African Studies of the Faculty of Human and Social Sciences (FSHS) of the University of Lomé (Togo), to focus on the multiple forms of large-scale circulation of goods, ideas, techniques, information and models that increasingly cross the global South and link it to the rest of the world. Panels or papers focusing on smaller-scale, regional or neighbouring countries' circulations, or showing the consequences of scale change in circulations, are also welcome.

Instituted violences and terrors
The world terrorism is all over the media. Yet, it covers many different forms of violence and is difficult to define either on legal, political or sociological bases. Terror may be defined and claimed as a mode of action whereas designating opponents as terrorists has become a common way for many rulers to disqualify them. The intentions of perpetrators of violences are often confusing: it increases the populations’ fears and allows States to establish a governance of crisis on the basis of security purposes. How can anthropology help to analyze such configurations?

The peasantry and heritage in the South
Ressources, conflicts and arrangements
Les campagnes des Suds sont depuis plusieurs années marquées par des logiques de mise en patrimoine qui modifient profondément les rapports entretenus entre les paysanneries et leurs supports de production traditionnels. L'objectif de cette journée est d'associer l'analyse de la dynamique conflictuelle pour l'accès aux ressources avec celle des « arrangements » mis en œuvre par les communautés locales dans (et par) les processus de patrimonialisation. Intégrés à des logiques de pouvoir et de contrôle, ces processus sont-ils également saisis par les paysanneries des Suds en tant que supports d'émancipation culturelle, politique et économique (reconnaissances de savoirs vernaculaires, de pratiques traditionnelles, du rôle des femmes, prétexte à davantage d’indépendance par rapport aux puissants acteurs agricoles et industriels) ?

Contested Hybrid Democracy: Endorsing or Revisiting the Liberal Model in non-Western Countries
IPSA Istanbul 2016
Democracy has become a worldwide reference in terms of political organization and governance. While the universal character claimed by such a model has largely been theorized from a Western point of view, the variety of uses and appropriations from non-Western countries, including emerging States, remains unexamined. Disappointed with the results brought by the transition paradigm, the hybrid regimes literature tends to assess the unequal reception of the democratic model in non-Western countries. Nevertheless, the hybrid regimes analytical frame does not exhaust the question of the inner workings of these regimes, since its scientific referential remains based on Western theories and focuses on the uncompleted democratization processes and dynamics. This panel aims at switching the analytical frame towards the reception of the democratic model in non-Western countries through an assessment of uses and reappropriations of this model by political and social actors. Non-Western countries represent an interesting reflection ground for testing appropriation-reject dialectics regarding the Western democratic model. While this model directly inspires some of these countries (India, South Africa or Turkey), it has been rejected by other countries (China and Russia). Are there emerging models of democracy or counter-democracy models in non-Western countries ? We shall address these questions related to the unequal reception of the democratic model in non-Western countries.

La fabrique de l’action publique dans les pays « sous régime d’aide »
Acteurs, processus, négociations
L’action publique peut se définir comme la façon dont des acteurs, étatiques, privés, associatifs, à différentes échelles, agissent sur des problèmes définis comme problèmes publics ou collectifs et contribuent ainsi à réguler les rapports sociaux. Le colloque 2015 de l’APAD vise à interroger les modalités actuelles de production et de mise en œuvre de l’action publique, dans les pays sous régime d’aide, à partir d’analyses empiriques approfondies, portant sur différents secteurs d’action publique.
