Centre et périphérie fondements et critères

1995

The concept of center is considered as one of the most important in spatial economy and in geography. The dualism center - periphery is mentioned in most varied contexts and even with most various meanings. The aim of this article is to bring the foundations of this inseparable couple to light. The idea of center, as in geometry, evokes first a privileged position. But a center is also a place of strong concentration of population, economicactivities, culture and authorities. The structure center - periphery created by a combination of the two preceding criteria is source of inequalities, asymmetries, polarization and domination. But the dualism center - periphery is too reducing. It is nec…

La régionalisation de l'économie européenne

1982

Toute discussion scientifique des problèmes régionaux de la Communauté Economique Européenne requiert d'abord une définition rigoureuse de la région dans un espace économique et mérite une réflexion théorique préalable. L'analyste qui s'interroge sur la nature profonde de la réalité régionale se trouve placé devant deux familles de définitions. D'une part, la géographie traditionnelle s'attache à diviser l'espace concret en unités individualisées à partir d'un critère d'homogénéité. Ses hésitations quant au choix de ce critère nourrissent depuis deux siècles les discussions sur la description des régions. D'autre part, la géographie quantitative moderne etl'analyse économique spatiale propo…

Creative Regions in Europe

2012

This chapter examines the existence of regional agglomerations of manufacturing, service and creative industries, and the relationship between these industries and the wealth of regions. Through an analysis of 250 European regions, three important conclusions can be inferred from the results obtained in this chapter. The first is that creative industries play an important role in the wealth of the regions. The second is that the most creative regions are characterized by having more high-tech manufacturing industries than the rest of the regions, although the number of low-tech manufacturing firms is similar. Lastly, in the richest regions, a greater share of high-tech manufacturing industr…

Territorial Capital and Growth over the Great Recession: a Local Analysis for Italy"

2017

The consequences of the crisis have been mainly analyzed at national/ international levels, neglecting its differential effects on local areas. Notwithstanding the international character of the Great Recession, the different local structural features might have influenced the economic and social impact of the crisis, determining effects on the resilience and recovery chance. In this paper, we focus on the role of different territorial indicators by looking at how their relevance has changed during the recent crisis at provincial level. Our aim is threefold. First, we identify the strategic territorial elements which might be particularly relevant in ensuring a greater local absorption capa…

Politique de recrutement des enseignants non fonctionnaires et qualité de l'éducation de base au Sénégal : quels enseignements vers l'Education Pour …

2011

In the early 1990s, like in many other countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Senegal was also facing a decrease in the gross school enrolment ratio (GER). Despite the numerous measures taken for increasing GER at lower cost (creation of double shift classes, strengthening of multi-grade classes, creation of training schools which train teachers curriculum in one year instead of four as previously, increased recruitment of assistant teachers, etc.), this decline continued until 1994. In order to reverse this downward trend, the government recruited non-civil servant teachers (education volunteers and contract teachers). Compared to their tenured colleagues, these "new teachers" received a short d…
