Outline of Final Research Achievements

Different from “globalized” Anglophone economies, Francophone economies have faced to the crisis and the reorganizations during the twentieth century. Why they have so many incidents? Chambers of commerce and statutory companies in Africa and Asia show us not only socio-economic discontinuities due to the incidents but also continuities which lead us to the current situation. This study analyzes their structures. It also aims to create an international network and a regional center for the African economic history.
