Mobilisations, genre et identités professionnelles

The course includes four sections:

The first one examines the genesis and the evolution of different concepts: development, local development, social development and local social development (LSD). It analyses the various approaches of the local development set up in rural and urban areas and the social and economic issues that these DSL projects raised.

The second section addresses the concept of territory through the State reform process with the decentralisation of public policies and through the territorialisation of social policies. It deals in particular with the evolution of big cities policy and social cohesion policy in Brussels and in Wallonia.

The third section examines the principles and the objectives of local social development, the actors involved and their strategies, as well as the obstacles met for their implementation. The analysis emphasises on the citizens’ participation in these projects.

The fourth section scrutinises existing local social development projects developed within the framework of “Les contrats de quartiers” and “Les contrats durables de quartiers” in Brussels.

The course deals with the local dynamics of actors present on the same territory and who are devoted to the satisfaction of social needs (employment, housing, health, etc) for the population of this territory.

The course aims at, first, deconstructing the concept of local social development (LSD) and examining the theories about it. Second, it aims at analyzing LSD experiences implemented in the framework of urban policies and social cohesion policies in Wallonia and in Brussels.

The course will help students to develop a critical approach of LSD project in examining their impacts (positive/negative), their limits, their unexpected even perverse effects; in underlining the inconsistencies and in suggesting possible improvements of the project examined.

The marks is on 20 points and will assess the student ability to summarize a local social development project (LSD), to analyse a LSD in identifying the strong and the weak points, to criticize it and to suggest feasible changes, to integrate theoretical notions seen in the course and to write a report respecting the set of instructions provided.
