Economy of leftovers and recycling
Social, political and environmental dynamics in the Global South
Economies built around waste – rubbish, unsold goods, surplus, scrap, used materials – are becoming increasingly important in the Global South. This issue therefore aims to examine these forms of economic activity from three main perspectives: environmental, socio-economic and political. The objective is to bring together empirical and theoretical work that documents, compares and problematises these waste economies based on surveys conducted in Southern countries, while taking into account the circulation and cross-influences with Northern countries. These ‘waste products’ can take various forms, which the issue intends to consider in an open and pluralistic perspective.

Conference, symposium - America
L'activité minière aurifère, qu'elle soit légale ou clandestine, a largement contribué aux dynamiques de peuplement, d’occupation et d’aménagement du territoire guyanais. Aujourd’hui, elle est l'objet d’intenses débats. D'un côté, le caractère durable de l’activité est régulièrement interrogé. De l'autre, l’exploitation illégale de l’or perdure malgré la politique répressive de l'État, avec pour conséquence des impacts sociaux, économiques, environnementaux et sanitaires certains. Ainsi, la mine n’est pas uniquement un objet pour la géologie ; elle amène à des questionnements complexes qui impliquent l’ensemble des disciplines.

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.

Backlash politics and sustainable development in Latin America
Special issue of the “Revue internationale des études du développement”
This special issue of the Revue internationale des études du développement aims to bring together articles dealing with the politics of backlash in sustainable development in Latin America. The terms “backlash” and “backlash politics” are essential elements of the contemporary political landscape. They can be used in various contexts to refer to conservative mobilization, to movements in favor of local autonomy, to radical right populism, etc. We seek to stimulate in-depth reflection on conservative mobilization and the varied responses it has elicited in Latin America, across different political areas and at different scales. We call for innovative contributions and invite authors to focus on three lines of inquiry centered on ideas, institutions, and interests: 1/ Conservative agendas: reconfigurations and contestations of SD discourses and frameworks; 2/ Institutionalizing the backlash: changes in norms and politics; 3/ The strategies and interests of backlash actors.

Social and economic uses of creole languages
17th International Colloquium of Creole Studies (CIEC)
Who can truly contest the vitality of Creole languages? They are indeed young languages, born of the encounter between peoples of different civilisations, carriers of idiosyncratic visions of the world. In addition, they were effectively developed in different regions, but achieved similar results. Questioning the vitality of creole languages thus takes on its full meaning. How do the uses of creoles materialise in among the different social spaces of creolophone territories? Outside of the “classic” circuits of the language (schools, media, churches, etc.), do economic actors use language as a tool of economic market development? Our colloquium seeks to explore this key question of the social and economic uses of Creoles, their commoditisation in diverse domains.

La Guyane française, une société multiculturelle
Revue « Babel, Civilisations et Sociétés » IVe trimestre 2024
Le chercheur qui aborde la sociologie de la Guyane française est confronté à un univers de paradoxes et de contrastes qui balaie ses certitudes et freine parfois ses avancées. En outre, certains champs de la recherche sont minés par le flou des données statistiques disponibles. Les stratégies de peuplement de la Guyane ont contribué à créer une société multiculturelle. Aujourd'hui, 63% de la population guyanaise n'est pas native : le poids démographique et les relations interculturelles entre ses groupes constitutifs ont varié au cours du temps. Cette publication vise à croiser différentes méthodes et angles d’analyse en vue de développer une approche multidisciplinaire qui questionne les enjeux socio-économiques, politiques et identitaires qui traversent la société guyanaise.

Regards croisés États-Unis/Monde
Dans sa troisième année, ce séminaire explore une question à laquelle les spécialistes d’époques historiques très variées ont répondu de manière très diverse : quelles temporalités choisir pour ce que l’on appelle « capitalisme » ? Les choix en ce domaine entraînent aussi des choix définitionnels, mais notre hypothèse est qu’il sera plus facile de préciser les termes et les enjeux, et de construire un dialogue productif entre positions théoriques différentes, si la discussion porte sur les rythmes chronologiques, sur la périodisation, sur des moments identifiables et délimitables qui permettraient de baliser de quel « capitalisme » chacun parle, et de situer la discussion dans l’épaisseur des pratiques. Nous prendrons comme point de référence les évolutions en Amérique du Nord et chercherons à les confronter principalement à celles de l’Europe de l’Ouest, sans nous interdire d’explorer d’autres régions.

Peasantries and Violent Conflicts
In this call for papers, we wish to address the relationship between the peasantry and conflicts with all the necessary analytical finesse and empiricism, by exploring the plurality of repertoires and modes of action to identify the contextual markers of the trajectories of violent crises involving the peasantry to varying degrees and in various forms. What we mean by violent conflict is any form of confrontation mobilizing a diversified arsenal, with a destructive effect on the agricultural, economic, and social systems in place, and with at times the aim of reconfiguring them to the advantage of certain actors. Such conflicts may be internal to certain peasantries, or may occur at their contact when they are exploited by external actors. Others may take shape and develop outside the rural world before reaching it. These violent conflicts are often found at the crossroads of a range of factors and processes: power dynamics linked to land access, the crystallization of identity and ethno-community differences, and governance problems.

The American Developmental State : The Origins of American Capitalism in Comparative Perspective
How can we best account for the historical trajectory of American capitalism over the “long” nineteenth century ? With this conference we aim to deploy the idea of an “American developmental state” as a lens for investigating the formative years of US capitalism. Now is an opportune moment to reconsider the role of government in US economic history.

« Revue internationale des études du développement » n°254
This issue is a continuation of the series of thematic issues that the Revue Tiers Monde, now the Revue internationale des études du développement has regularly published for 25 years on the subject of financial inclusion (no. 145, 1996; no. 172, 2002; no. 197, 2009; no. 225, 2016). This issue calls for original papers based on field research that contribute to knowing how the transformation of agricultural and rural systems in emerging and developing countries is financed, and more specifically, how farmers are financed. It aims, in particular, at delving into the new practices in the field of agricultural and rural financing, which is often marginalized in development financing policies.

Brazil, an independent country ?
Rethinking “dependency theory” 200 years after 1822
On the occasion of the bicentennial of Brazil’s proclamation of independence (September 7,1822), this conference examines the paradigm of “dependency theory.” We will consider both how Brazilian intellectuals contributed to dependency theory and what their analyses offer for thinking about Brazil’s independence and place in the world today. The oeuvre of Brazilian dependentistas insisted on the impossibility of understanding the history of Brazil and Latin America without considering the complex dynamics between the national and the international, between domestic political and economic structures and the broader world system of which they were part. This conference, 200 years after Brazil’s formal independence, evaluates the promise and limitations of their analysis, at once historicizing dependency theory and using the authors associated with it to better understand the present.

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.
