Learning unit contents
The course on the sociology of international cooperation deals with the international aid industry, its actors, policies and main issues from its colonial roots to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
A diachronic approach allows the student to become progressively familiar with the field of international cooperation by distinguishing by period the debates, concepts, framework of dominant thoughts while insisting on the ruptures and continuities between these various periods.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- define the different issues that animate and have animated the international aid industry from its origins to the present;
- identify the main actors, the main sectors of intervention and international aid policies, distinguishing their period of appearance;
- confront the different theoretical schools and public policies developed within the aid industry;
- correctly map the contemporary aid industry.

Additional information:
The course "Sociology of International Cooperation" is organised in freely choosen "co-modality".
This means that if the course is officially organised as a face-to-face course, students who would be unable to follow the course in person for health or professional reasons (cf. students of Masters in Education Sciences mainly) can follow a remote course via the video clips and quizzes that are proposed here on this following platform:

Students can therefore choose the pedagogical formula that corresponds to their learning context. However, the evaluation requirements remain the same.
