    Financing agricultural and food transformations. Practices, mechanisms, collective action, and public policies

    « 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.

    The historicity of democracy in the Arab and Islamic world

    L’objectif principal du volume est de fournir une interprétation actualisée des phénomènes de négociation, de délibération, de représentation, de débat, de recherche de consensus, d’élection, de nomination, d’expression d’idées et d’opinions, ou de construction de formes de sphères publiques dans les mondes arabe et musulman du Moyen Âge à nos jours. Dans le contexte historiographique d’études ayant critiqué la persistance de formes d’orientalisme et de nouvel orientalisme dans les débats sur la démocratie dans la région, le volume, tout en refusant de discuter uniquement de la capacité des sociétés à accommoder ou non des institutions et des pratiques démocratiques perçues comme externes, se concentrera délibérément sur l’étude de ces sociétés pour elles-mêmes et des formes politiques qui leur étaient inhérentes. L’objectif est de retracer, d’explorer et d’interpréter, sur la base de sources originales (archives, manuscrits), les pratiques qui existaient dans la grande région, sans les réduire à de simples échos ou importations.

    Power(s) in Palestine

    Over the past two decades a great deal of research on the question of Palestine has pointed to a fragmentation of the Palestinian political landscape, divisions exacerbated by the Oslo Accords. The ensuing establishment of the Palestinian Authority (PA), in particular, fostered the emergence of new political dynamics and new sources of power and legitimacy, embodied in the conflict between Fatah and Hamas that has dominated Palestinian politics since 2007. The creation of the PA also encouraged a process of capital accumulation and a restructuring of social classes after 1993. Moreover, the dispersion of Palestinians across the world, the superposition of national and international legal realities and the diversity of actors in the conflict have contributed to the multiplication of sources and resources of power. This complex set of factors has prompted questions regarding new sources, mechanisms and flows of power in Palestine, as well as resultant dynamics.

    Seeing Politics through Intermediation and Intermediaries

    This seminar proposes to look at politics through the lens of political intermediaries and what they do, i.e. intermediation. Intermediaries can be defined as an assorted group of actors (political brokers, political parties, interest groups, movements) who acts as a hinge between two or more levels, actors or social institutions; while intermediation , as a process, encompasses all the mediations that these actors perform in order to keep the political system intact (Zaremberg, Guarneros-Meza, and Lavalle 2017; Gunther, Puhle, and Montero 2007; Kitschelt 2004; Smith 2007). The question we are interested in relates to the transformations in the roles of these agents and processes of mediation since the neo-liberal transformation has engulfed the processes of public policy formulation, contestation and enactment.

    Work and institutions

    Les phénomènes artistiques ont suscité l’intérêt de chercheur·se·s de différents champs disciplinaires, « de la philosophie, à la sociologie, à la poétique, à l’esthétique ou à l’histoire » (Aron, Viala, 2006). Ce champ de recherche ne cesse d’approfondir les liens entre l’art et la vie sociale, entre créations individuelles et faits collectifs, mobilisant des approches socio-historique et sémiologique (Lahire, 2016 ; Martin 2016). La figure de l’artiste bohème libre de toute entrave persiste pourtant, et le mythe de l’autonomie de l’art reste largement répandu. Cette journée d’étude souhaite ainsi interroger les rapports des œuvres aux institutions.

    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.

    Ethics and performance in public management

    Le rapport entre éthique et action publique n’est pas une question neuve en soi. Or, à l'heure actuelle, les gestionnaires d'organisations publiques et privées sont pris entre une demande d’éthique qui semble n'avoir jamais été aussi forte et une préoccupation tout aussi centrale pour la performance et le résultat. Les réformes successives engagées depuis quelques décennies dans les organisations publiques peuvent également conduire à des interrogations fondamentales sur la place de la personne et des valeurs. L’une des questions qui se posent alors peut être de savoir dans quelle mesure certaines pratiques relevant de la logique managériale, introduites par la Nouvelle gestion publique, ainsi que la rationalité qui les sous-tend ne soulèvent pas des problèmes d'ordre déontologique.
