The Deceptive Return of Industrial Policy. The Expert, the State and the Local Political Economy Structural adjustment and globalization have deeply modified the content of industrial policy and the way it is implemented. In this paper, we show, in the case of North African countries, that a significant change in international advice has been a key...

From the statements of the vacuity of the concept in the literature and of the likely novelty of a series of features concerning emerging economies, this paper draws a reflection about the usefulness of an analytical investigation of that notion of economic emergence. This point is made alongside a dual strand of questioning. Firstly, are there new...

This article questions the reality of protective wage employment in Morocco, understood as the articulation between salaried employment and social protection characteristic of industrial societies of the Fordist type. The three scales of investigation used reveal a closed horizon of protective wage employment. The statistics indicate the low level...

La crise de la Covid-19 a remis sur le devant de la scène la place prépondérante qu’occupent les économies informelles en Afrique subsaharienne. Face au choc macroéconomique inédit consécutif aux effets de la pandémie de la Covid-19 et aux mesures prise pour y faire face, l’informel ne semblent pas avoir joué son rôle con- tracyclique habituel. Des...

This paper confronts prescriptive models of development, as derived from the genetic analysis of eight decades of advice or injunctions legitimized by mainstream economic theory in each period, with the “worlds of development” observed in the late 2010s. By projecting developing countries into the galaxy of different prescriptive models of developm...

For different currents in policy analysis as policy networks and the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF), identifying coalitions from policy beliefs and coordination between actors is crucial to a precise understanding of a policy process. Focusing particularly the relational dimension of ACF approaches linked with policy network analysis, determini...

Through an economic and geographical cross-section, this article on the Tangier-Med complex and its array of new activities is positioned in a reflexive perspective. It focuses on the difficulties of linking an economic structure that is almost imposed by the state, foreign direct investment, global value chains, and the local political economy, wh...

Full-text available
Améliorer durablement la sécurité sanitaire des populations ne se résume pas à un simple réglage de variables économiques ou à l’ajustement de quelques incitations, même d’ampleur, au plan budgétaire. Une telle ambition implique d’engager, à différentes échelles, la construction de nouveaux compromis entre les parties prenantes de la sécurité sanit...

The growing interest in social protection in Africa over the past two decades has led to a renewal of academic research and institutional literature, ranging from technical and evaluation approaches to political economy studies. The latter have the analytical singularity of linking the outcomes of social protection policies to their modalities of p...

L’intérêt croissant pour la protection sociale en Afrique depuis deux décennies entraîne un renouvellement des recherches académiques et de la littérature institutionnelle, entre approches techniciennes et évaluatives et travaux d’économie poli-tique. Ces derniers ont pour singularité analytique de relier la performance des politiques de protection...
Chapter
Full-text available
Reducing the study of the structural transformation of a country to that of its export profile leads in fact to retain only the liberal position from the "ideological-political duality" of possible positions on the role of international trade in development. Our perspective in this text is different. It does not aim at any form of reductionism, nor...

In the Fordist version of industrial capitalism, automobile production forms the basis of industrial production and the wage relationship, in other words, of economic development and the transformation of modes of work. Derivatives of this centrality continue to fuel the post-Fordist debate on economic development as to the ability of the automobil...

Dense forms of economic cooperation and integration between countries of the South are increasingly taking place at the regional and global levels. They are pushing for the dissolution of the North-South divide, which is at the root of the most heated controversies on economic development and the most active representations of dependency. South-Sou...

Ce chapitre caractérise les conditions d’émergence d'un pôle automobile à Tanger (Maroc) autour de l’arrivée du constructeur français, en s’intéressant à la façon dont interagissent localement les stratégies des firmes et de l’État marocain.

Le Maroc s’est doté d’une stratégie d’émergence industrielle au milieu de la décennie 2000. Cette « politique industrielle », que l’article passe en revue au regard de l’histoire longue de l’industrie au Maroc, vise explicitement la diversification de l’économie par l’attraction des investissements directs à l’étranger (IDE) et l’amélioration de la...

The Arab Springs were crises that revealed or pushed to their climax issues that have existed for a long time but which were previously mitigated by a variety of instruments including repression, recovery, alliances, and redistribution. Although there may have been a regional dynamic such as a snowball or domino effect, there was no regional mechan...

Si les économies industrialisées continuent de fournir l’essentiel des investissements mondiaux, l’essor des investissements Sud-Sud, mis en exergue par la Conférence des Nations Unies sur le commerce et le développement (Cnuced/ Unctad en anglais) dans ses rapports annuels de 2004 et de 2006, constitue un fait structurel majeur que la crise actuel...

L'essor des relations d'investissement Sud-Sud constitue un fait structurel majeur, porteur de singularités en terme de pratiques et de stratégies d'acteurs, de transformation des espaces d'accueil, de transferts technologiques et de normes ou de convergence avec le processus de régionalisation. Dans des domaines aussi différents que l'industrie, l...

Relocations: what we learn from a regional analysis We argue that a better understanding of the relocation process needs a regional analysis based on firms’ behavior. We illustrate our assertion by summarizing the results of a research project in the Aquitaine region. The first section proposes a typology and an evaluation of firms’ mobility at the...

Malgré une visibilité nouvelle et une médiatisation croissante des pays émergents, les changements en cours dans ces économies restent mal connus. Dépourvu de visée normative, l’ouvrage a pour ambition première de donner à comprendre ce qui se construit à l’arrière-plan des performances économiques auxquelles on associe l’émergence. Quinze contribu...

Emerging economies can be characterized by highly hybrid socio-economic systems undergoing deep structural change, under directions that can be contrary to economic orthodoxy. One possible, however not exclusive, explanation to those varied paths of transformation can be found in the interplay between external constraints and internal productive an...

Pays en développement, nouveaux pays industrialisés, puis pays émergents, le Tiers Monde d’Alfred Sauvy n’en finit plus de se disloquer. Dès lors qu’un pays autrefois qualifié de Pays en développement présente des taux de croissance par habitant rapide et que, plus sûrement, s’y ouvrent des marchés porteurs, la question de la nature des changements...

Relocations are usually interpreted as part of economic globalisation. Recent qualitative trends give a new picture of relocations and put into question our usual understanding of the phenomena. “Relocations: what are we talking about” goes back to the definition and quantification of relocations and proposes to interpret these new trends through f...

L’apparente nouveauté des pays émergents comme l’imprécision de cette catégorie de classement interpellent les sciences sociales du développement et incitent à questionner la notion d’émergence, bien au-delà de ce qui a présidé à sa genèse. Sous un angle critique, l'article envisage l’intérêt et les conditions de possibilité d’un programme de rech...

Two widely accepted and contradictory manifestations of the global changes under way are acutely expressed in Morocco. They engage the "local" and "global" levels in new relationships made up of increasing overlap and complexity, which the nationally centered and state-organized regulation of the Cherifian kingdom is trying to take into account. Th...

Far from being confused with "civil society" or the "social movement", NGOs appear as identity constructs based on critique and alternative, economic organizations mediating aid which, by their very nature, come under a coordination mechanism distinct from the State and the market. The new empowerment of these organizations in the development agend...

A l'appui d'une réflexion mêlant travaux théoriques sur les méthodes d'évaluation et observations de terrain au Burkina Faso, l'ouvrage traite des enjeux d'une évaluation organisationnelle. L'évaluation peut difficilement se réduire à un calcul économique, dès lors qu'est reconnu le caractère conflictuel de la décision et que les effets de cette dé...

Thesis
Full-text available
The theme of this thesis develops within the perimeter defined by the three expressions: evaluation, NGOs and their operations. More precisely, it is the questions relating to the relationships between these three terms that condition and circumscribe the proposed reflection. In other words, it is not the NGOs as such that will retain our attention...

Chapter
Full-text available
Economic theory has long opposed two mechanisms for coordinating the plans of elementary economic units: the market and the state. The first, by organizing the confrontation of supply and demand, provides an alternative indicator of choice on which each economic agent relies to make a final decision. The incentive and useful information are contain...

All over the world, NGOs have seen their field of action widen quite considerably under the combined effects of several factors: the relative failure of some major development programs financed by public aid, the suspicions of inefficiency that weighed on bilateral aid and the narrowing of the margins of initiative of many Southern States placed un...
