Tropical fruit sectors undergoing change
How are stakeholders in tropical fruit export sectors participating in and adapting to these changes in terms of market flows and consumption habits? How are relations between stakeholders being redefined? And what are the spatial implications of those changes? This call for papers welcomes studies based on what the French academia refers to as the “approche filière” but we are also interested in papers favoring a global value chain approach, this broad view of value chain taking into account the power relationships between upstream and downstream players, whatever the scale. This call for papers welcomes studies research into diverse geographical areas, based primarily on field surveys, and stemming from a range of disciplines studying relations to space.

The Sustainable Development Goals under scrutiny
« Revue internationale des études du développement » n°253 (2023-3)
A new international framework for development, called the UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, emerged in 2015 as a result of the rise of sustainable development as a dominant paradigm for development and of the criticisms addressed to the MDGs. The new agenda established 17 development goals instead of 8 (MDGs). The SDGs made some progress compared to the MDGs. Because they target common challenges like climate change, the reach and legitimacy of the SDGs were extended. As we stand midway towards the set deadlines for achievement, it is time to question the relevance, foundations and the implementation of the SDGs. It also seems legitimate to question their universal and inclusive character, and their actual outcomes since 2015 by using critical and contexual approaches.

Les journées d'étude 2018 de l'Association française pour l'étude du textile (AFET) visent à faire dialoguer mer et textile. Quatre thèmes sont privilégiés. La mer comme moteur d'innovation a conduit à l'élaboration de textiles innovants et spécifiques, le commerce des textiles est étroitement lié aux routes maritimes, le développement des stations balnéaires entraîne de nouvelles pratiques sportives donc vestimentaires, le décor maritime rend compte du rôle primordial de la mer dans l'imaginaire. Les orientations évoquées ne sont pas limitatives mais l'axe principal des communications doit faire ressortir les liens entre mer et textile.

The social and cooperative economy in French overseas territories
RECMA journal special issue
Comment l’économie sociale (ESS) et solidaire s’institue-t-elle hors métropole, en relation ou en tension avec les pouvoirs locaux ? Cette institutionnalisation se heurte-t-elle à des résistances, voire des comportements centrifuges face à la tendance uniformisante de la métropole et de l’Union européenne ? Quels besoins sanitaires et quels besoins sociaux spécifiques à ces territoires est-elle amenée à prendre en charge ? Les organisations de l’ESS sont-elles des leviers pour l’emploi dans des régions marquées par un fort taux de chômage ? En quoi les spécificités des outre-mers ont-elles influencé le développement de l’ESS ou l’ont-elles limité, et vers quels axes celui-ci s’est-il orienté ? Pour répondre à ces questions, nous cherchons à réunir six articles rédigés par des chercheurs de toutes disciplines de sciences humaines.

Trade and traders throughout history
Linked to human societies through the ages, trade has taken many forms; it was associated with the appearance of man since barter between tribes and groups of people in the primitive era. This has been one of the pillars of political entities (kingdoms, principalities, Nations and Empires) during all historical periods; it was a factor in their appearance and economic dynamism, a source of political and financial resources due to significant revenue provided to the public treasury power. Trade was behind the emergence of several social phenomena and changes that have affected certain groups of society; it was and is a tool for traffic or movement of social actors, values, and ideas between communities. Currently, trade is of great importance for economic development in all countries ; it is a real challenge that has had an impact on the lives of people, their daily lives, and human and economic development.

Globalisation and Minor Cultural Groups
The role of so-called minority people in rethinking the future of modern societies
Minority groups, whose way of life has historically suffered from globalization, are often cited as victims of global processes, but they are rarely studied for the techniques or technologies of accommodation and resistance they have implemented as a response to global processes— the most devastating of these processes being colonization in its various aspects. Indeed, globalist literature does not yet offer a conceptualization or theorizing of the social, cultural, political and territorial continuity of “minorized” cultures, let alone does it afford enough analytical space to these so-called cultural minorities in the process of questioning the values and practices of globalization. Therefore, this conference will participate in building more connections between different experiences in order to think up the best alternatives to the global economic and political system in place and to the way of life brought about by global phenomena which do not work anymore.
