Economic globalisation and the development of transnational flows
imply a major redefinition of the role of Nation-States, principally
as to local identity questions. Understanding these trends and
phenomena imply accomplishing multi-disciplinary research on global
economy, national policies and social transformations. World agriculture
market and the development of rural societies are among the main
observation sites of these interdependent phenomena.
The main objective of this project is to understand fundamental
changes rural societies are going through in Arab Mediterranean
countries, and how they interact with transformations in the North
of the Mediterranean Sea. This research should focus on decision-making
and national strategies in terms of economic and regional integration.
The lines of research :
- Changes brought about in the international context by multilateral
agreements and by new circumstances in regional geopolitics.
- The regulatory role that may be and that is being played by bilateral
agreements between the European Union and the Mediterranean countries,
the consequences of secrecy regarding trade in agricultural products,
and the impact of liberalisation of trade in other products.
- The capacity for individual countries to use their agricultural
policies for mediation.
- The consequences for rural societies, the strategies used by the
actors to adapt to the new context, and their capacity to negotiate
to influence the new decisions.
- The disintegration of old structures, the emergence of new actors
and new kinds of organisations (village, communities, producer's
groups or associations, development associations, etc.), and the
intervention of outside actors (national and international NGO's,
etc.). This will involve investigating changes in the respective
roles of the government and of civil society in guiding farmers,
and the rural world in general.
