Course Description
This course focuses on the economic growth and innovation in Africa. Students consider if Africa will emerge and re-take its role a the center of the world. It is in Africa that the stakes of mobility, ecology, and democracy discourses find their expression most called to question. It is in this vein that the course analyzes the civil contestations related to democracy, monetary sovereignty, language, military, or humanitarian interventions, as well as the persistence of the old pan-African dream. Africa is changing its alliances to favor new partners who are major players on the world market. Multilateralism is reappearing in Africa, borne on the pan African organizations' dynamic. This is not the only never-seen-before scenario which is unfolding on the African continent: The North African (Magreb) countries are seeing their diaspora population coming back to their roots---at least symbolically for now. Faced with these changes, the European powers, former teaching models, are trying to adapt as Africa is appearing to be the area where contestation of their influence is the most pronounced, through wildcat wars that they can no longer win, the demystification of humanitarian efforts, indeed the rights of man and of course migration politics that transform the Mediterranean frontier from a meeting space to a house in conflict.

Course Description
Our time is characterized by a series of changes or shifts of unheard of and poorly understood depth and promptitude. Since 1800 wealth has been multiplied by 70, world population by 7, life expectancy by 2. Individualism, mass consumption, mass education, and women's emancipation have been the landmarks of an evolution that some dubbed “the great acceleration”. Add on top of that, ever-growing technological changes and environmental degradation and you get a multi-faceted situation that this course aims to understand synthetically and holistically. The course underlines the prospective aspects and whenever possible puts emphasis on the trajectory rather than the current data points.
