Présentation des recherches

My research is focused on the sociology of international development, intervention and foreign aid in the global South, with a special focus on Mali and, more recently, Colombia. Following the multi-dimensional crisis in Mali since 2012, I am currently scrutinising the ongoing transformations of international intervention in Mali under the influence of humanitarian actors (emergency ONGs and UN specialised agencies), military and security actors (French operation Serval) and the Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission (Minusma) launched in July 2013. While Mali’s political crisis has caused a crisis of the previous aid regime, the modus operandi and purposes and processes of international involvement in Mali have shifted from development assistance for poverty reduction and aid efficiency towards a more fragmented superimposition of objectives and organisations acting in a more complex and competitive environment. My current research seeks to inform those changes, trace the processes of their legitimation and acceptance amongst different fragments of Malian society and government and account for their political effects, i.e. the way Malian politics is played out.
