| Summary: | West Africa doesn’t seem to be concerned by globalisation: her part in the world trade is so low that most of the observers think there is no interest for the major actors of globalisation to invest in this part of the world. In fact, West African countries are really involved in this evolution. For their development, they need to enter the world wide networks of maritime transport. They must open gateways and they must define policies which link them to partners all over the world.In that way, the states are concerned and their policies are of major interest. I would like to emphasize that point. My presentation aims to focus on the case of Mali, one of the poorest countries in the world and besides a land-locked state. One of the questions is how such a country can open itself to maritime transport as the only mode for a real development in a partnership with foreign countries. |
