|
| KENNEDY Loraine |
|
| Coordinator Economic transition and sustainable development |
|
Loraine Kennedy’s main research area is the political economy of India, with a focus on the regional factors underlying growth and on emerging patterns of federal governance. Her current research analyzes the response of state governments to economic reforms, both in rhetoric and action, and on their growth strategies, which tend to rely increasingly on the differentiation of space. In this context, she is examining state re-scaling strategies, which are contributing, with market forces, to the assertion of large cities as growth engines. In addition, she is current participating in an interdisciplinary study group whose common framework examines industrial restructuring strategies in emerging economies and the broad socio-political compromises underpinning their engagement with the global economy.

| LECLERC Eric |
|
| Coordinator Regional dynamics in South Asia and international relations |
|
Dr. Eric Leclerc is associate professor of geography at the University of Rouen (France). He started his research in south India on developmental issues, both in rural areas as well as in small towns. At that stage, a large part of his problematic revolved around internal migrations as indicators of important links between the town and its countryside. After completing his Phd in 1993, he was engaged with the LEDRA (Research Laboratory for Arid and Semi-arid Region) in two collective projects to produce atlases in Mauritania and Mali. This decade in Africa was an opportunity to question the validity of mapping and G.I.S. tools for development activities.
These new geographical horizons were the starting point of a comparative approach which was thematically organised around population mobility in societies engaged in very different relations with their territories. After the completion of these atlases, he put human mobility at the center-stage of the process of transforming contemporary societies. Indeed his actual research programme at the Centre de Sciences Humaines (New Delhi) is interrogating a static vision of the Indian society. He is analysing the role of the expatriate Indian communities in our new inner-world space (global scale), as agents in the construction of a world-society.
