Institut d'Etude du Développement Economique et Social, Université Paris 1 (IEDES)
The development of the southern countries and the effects of globalization in the world, particularly in their economic and social components, are more than ever a major issue, both academically and politically. The various crises – social, environmental, food, economic and financial – that cross the global economy underscore the need for developing countries to have strong economic, social and institutional foundations to overcome these instabilities over the long term. It is not only a question of managing difficult circumstances, but also of placing oneself in a long-term horizon in order to avoid recurring crises that are severely penalizing for development.There is indeed a specific subject that concerns the question of change in all societies, in those of the so-called developed countries as well as those of the so-called developing or emerging countries, and a family of trades particularly dedicated to this subject: International organizations, bilateral cooperation frameworks, consultancy firms, consultants, heads of non-governmental organizations, etc. This subject is also a field of reflection and research whose problems are renewed in the research institutions of the North and even more of the South.

European Master in Global Studies (EMGS)
This international research-based Master is combining perspectives, methods and theories developed in history, the social sciences, cultural as well as area studies and economics to investigate phenomena of global connectedness. We don’t believe that globalisation exists as an objectively given, material reality which can be measured but that we have to understand the phenomena described as globalisation as a bundle of political, economic, social and cultural projects to manage increasing transnational and transcontinental connectedness (the so-called global condition). Therefore, the multi-national class-room of the programme and the cross-over of contributions from various disciplines and universities dealing either with some of these projects or/and with their conflicts and resulting entanglements offer a substantial added value to the study of processes of globalisation.

International Business and Social Sciences, B.A.
This combination offers graduates the opportunity to not only analyse and assess scientific issues from an economical point of view, but also ethical, moral and social ones as well. The course of study is taught in English in order to better prepare for the requirements of a competitive international job market. Economic questions are assessed in application-oriented ways, and examined with regard to the greater picture, i.e. the economy as a whole. To further bolster graduates’ qualifications, the curriculum of our International Business and Social Sciences programme is defined by a strong interdisciplinary focus that permeates our modules from the first semester onwards.
Continual use of experimental economic research enables students to master application-oriented analysis of real-life decision making situations under controlled laboratory conditions. This, in turn, promotes the development of a profound understanding of the complex interactions in economics.
Graduates of the undergraduate degree programme possess sound knowledge of basic concepts and methods of economics and are knowledgeable about the requirements of economically and socially responsible behaviour. Their qualifications make them ideal candidates for the international job market or for postgraduate studies.
