| Holder(s) : | Bernadette Merenne‑Schoumaker |

| Language : | Langue française |
|
| Course contents : | The course is made of two major parts:
- valorisation of agricultural raw materials (7h30);
- valorisation of mining products (7h30).
The specificities of those two sectors will be first analysed. Afterwards, various issues will be taken into account: production and consumption, key-actors policy, organisation of the markets (price, circulation, rules and agreements). Those issues will be taken into account at different scales: global, continental, national and regional. On this basis, the aim of the course is to identify good and bad conditions concerning the valorisation of raw materials. The course also takes into account the possible industrialisation strategies that can be based on raw materials, as well as the issue of micro-firms and informal sector. |
|
| Course objective : | To allow future graduates in population and development sciences to integrate the issue of "raw materials" in the development. |
|
| Prerequisites : | A good knowledge of the current economic, political and spatial context is very useful as the course take questions of the day into account. |
|
| Organization : | 5 sessions of theoretical lectures (3 hours) |
