Technologies, markets and vulnerabilities

Economic globalisation and technological development are the source of multiple forms of vulnerability. We propose to analyse the role of this techno-market dynamic as the weakening of modes of existence. Such an investigation is carried out on a global scale and with attention to both the richest and poorest countries. The construction of new markets, the internationalisation of value chains, the transnational circulation of people and goods require multi-scale analyses and involve actors from all social and geographical origins. This axis supports various types of investigations, in the North and South, on the environment, health, logistics or finance.
