Courses objectives
To understand the processes of transformation of the global economy understood at the level of organisational actors, in particular companies and their value chains, in their interactions with the socio-political, economic and environmental contexts in which they operate and which they help to shape.
Course contents
The CGV approach offers a multidimensional perspective on the globalisation processes of companies and production chains, by integrating territorial aspects, particularly environmental, input-output, governance and socio-institutional contexts, and by questioning their consequences on the potential for sustainable development of Southern countries, particularly in their social and environmental dimensions. This framework makes it possible to situate the issues of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the way in which they influence or not the behaviour of actors in the sector. It also makes it possible to understand a certain number of structuring elements of the context of environmental actions, in connection with the socio-economic logics that guide the redeployment of sectors, in particular agricultural sectors, and the exploitation of resources in a context of globalisation.
Teaching and learning methods
This analytical framework will be linked to case studies of the development of major agricultural export sectors, with a particular focus on their social and environmental effects.
Course evaluation
Individual written evaluation based on scientific articles
Target skills
Knowledge of the global value chain (GVC) approach and ability to mobilise it to understand the contexts in which environmental management takes place
