*Regulations, Markets, Health*
Questioning current stakes of pharmaceuticals in Africa
*March 2018, Cotonou (Benin)*
* Closing date: May 31, 2017*
Through this international colloquium, we wish to discuss the multiple
stakes surrounding pharmaceuticals in Africa today, with particular
consideration of their markets, the political and economic actors which
they mobilize, related instruments of regulation, control and competition,
modes of health care in which they are placed, and finally their modes of
consumption by individuals, without losing sight of the adaptation of
"traditional medicines" to the evolution of economic models. Regulation,
with its broad sense of norms actually at play, legislative, biomedical,
technical and commercial, seems to transverse these various questions and
will thus be widely considered.
We anticipate proposals based on current research for presentation on the
seven themes in the call of papers attached. Submissions can come from the
various social sciences (anthropology, sociology, law, history, economy,
geography, political sciences), as well as from biomedical and
pharmaceutical sciences. Although Africa is central to this discourse,
presentations of studies from other continents will be considered with the
aim of drawing links with Africa and enriching the discourse with current
situations in African countries.
