Villes africaines: Mobilités et transports urbains
Les villes africaines, en particulier les grandes agglomérations, sont marquées depuis la 2ème moitié du XXème siècle par une croissance démographique et spatiale sans précédent, ce qui accroit les besoins de mobilité pour relier des lieux de plus en plus éloignés. Il s’agira durant le cours, dans un premier temps, de documenter le contexte de mobilité dans les villes africaines. Celui-ci est marqué depuis les indépendances par des crises climatiques et économiques qui entrainent des mouvements de migration des campagnes vers les villes, l’entrée de l’informel dans l’économie urbaine et une réduction des ressources budgétaires des Etats qui impacte l'investissement dans les services sociaux de base y compris le transport. Dans un second temps, le cours va explorer la théorie de la mobilité comme stratégie d’accès à la ville. Pour ce faire il analysera les stratégies de mobilité dans les villes africaines aussi bien résidentielles que quotidiennes et selon les catégories socioéconomiques. La troisième partie du cours est axée sur les politiques de gestion de la mobilité urbaine. Il s’agira de mettre en rapport les éléments du contexte identifiés avec les stratégies de mobilité analysées pour apprécier l’efficience des politiques de gestion urbaine et ressortir les forces et faiblesses en vue de l’action.

The Business of Ideas: IP in the Real World
Intellectual property (IP) law shapes the way we innovate, create, and share ideas in today’s world. From the brands we buy, to the technology we use, to the music and art we love, IP law sets the rules of protection and use—and those rules are constantly being tested and redefined. In this course, you’ll explore some of the most pressing debates and recent landmark cases in U.S. IP law, across four key domains: trademark, patent, trade secret, and copyright. Guided by real-world controversies and Supreme Court decisions, you’ll learn how courts balance the need to incentivize creativity and innovation with the broader public interest in free expression, competition, and access. By the end of this course, you will be able to: Understand the foundations of U.S. IP law and its role in protecting innovation and expression. Analyze how trademark law interacts with freedom of speech, from scandalous brand names to parody and political commentary. Explain the complexities of patent licensing in technology markets, including the global battles over standards essential patents (SEPs). Evaluate the challenges of protecting trade secrets in fast-moving industries, and the impact of new restrictions on noncompete agreements. Assess how copyright law applies to music, art, and popular culture, including disputes over fair use, sampling, and transformative works. Through engaging case studies—from Jack Daniel’s dog toy parodies, to Microsoft and Motorola’s patent wars, to Taylor Swift’s re-recordings and Andy Warhol’s fair use battle—you’ll gain both a practical and critical understanding of how IP law works in action.
