Sahel - West Africa: Security and development cooperation tested by local perceptions 14/02/2025
Summary :
The report explores local perceptions of security and development cooperation in West Africa, particularly in the Sahel, in the context of French interventions, such as Operation Barkhane. The rise of sovereignism and the contestation of the foreign military presence have accentuated the divide between the expectations of local populations and the actions of Western powers. The impact of the information war, particularly with Russia, and persistent insecurity have reinforced these tensions.

La fabrique de la politique migratoire sénégalaise Concevoir, négocier, contester 12/11/2024
Summary :
Marie-Dominique Aguillon's article, "The Making of Senegalese Migration Policy," published in the journal Anthropologie & développement, examines the process of developing migration policy in Senegal, influenced by interventions from international organizations such as the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Based on ethnographic research, the article analyzes how these entities promote standardized migration policies in West Africa, focusing on the interactions between policymakers, experts, academics, and civil society actors in Senegal. The study reveals that, although the IOM plays a prescriptive role by introducing norms and policy frameworks, there are dynamics of local negotiation, contestation, and adaptation. Senegalese actors do not merely follow international directives passively but actively participate in the co-construction of migration policy, reflecting a plurality of logics and strategies. The article also highlights the tensions between the objectives of international organizations and national priorities, shedding light on challenges related to sovereignty and local ownership of migration policies.
