| Course content and structure |
| The course is concerned with the specific
institutional settings that shape business in West African
countries. The different texts illustrate both the contextual
constraints and the entrepreneurial strategies, and confront them
to the conception and implementation of policies. More
specifically, the course presents the relation between governments,
development aid organisations and the private sector as well as the
commercial relationships between UE ad West African
countries. |
| Teaching methods |
| A combination of lectures and student
presentations, with focus on students’ abilities to analyze and
conceptualize thematic and theoretical features against the
backdrop of the course literature. Teaching and literature will be
in French.When appropriate this course will use cases as a way to
illustrate institutional characteristics and dynamics, and each
semester will focus on thematic points of resonance that parallel
those dealt with in the specialisations. |
| Expected literature |
| To be announced on Learn |
