This edited volume examines child exploitation in the Global South. It introduces several case studies and interviews articulated around two features: exploitation within the family and exploitation in relation to social contexts. The research shows that both of the features are linked and, generally, they are not separate. It makes several important arguments which challenge the most common view on how children are perceived and exploited in Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. Additionally, it explores the social representation of exploited children as well as their general well-being.

Depuis deux siecles, economistes et dirigeants politiques s'affrontent sur une question qui semble simple : faut-il ouvrir les frontieres ou les fermer ? Faut-il faire confiance aux marches ou proteger les industries nationales ? A travers une relecture rigoureuse et derangeante de l'histoire economique mondiale - du mercantilisme colbertiste aux guerres commerciales de Trump, de la theorie ricardienne de l'avantage comparatif aux strategies de rattrapage de la Chine et des BRICS -, Augendra Bhukuth demontre que cette opposition est, en grande partie, un leurre. Les grandes puissances n'ont jamais choisi entre libre-echange et protectionnisme : elles ont toujours utilise les deux. Le libre-echange est le discours des forts ; le protectionnisme, leur pratique discrete. Derriere les slogans se cache une realite plus complexe : deux instruments complementaires au service d'une meme logique de puissance economique. Un essai d'economie politique accessible et documente, qui invite a depasser les simplifications pour comprendre les vrais rapports de force qui gouvernent le monde.A PROPOS DE L'AUTEURAugendra Bhukuth est docteur en sciences economiques - Universite de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines - et directeur du departement d'economie a la FACO Paris.
