The Anthropologie & développement journal is launching a call for articles for the 2026 issue on the theme of contemporary forms of money. If you are inspired, please submit your article before October 15, 2025.
Abstract: Over the past fifteen years, new forms of money, particularly digital money, have been structuring developmentalist agendas: green finance, conditional cash transfers, microcredit, crypto currencies or central bank digital currencies. While Africa has long been the epicentre of this digitalisation of money, Asia and Latin America have experienced strong growth in these payment methods in recent years. Based on qualitative data, this issue aims to study logics of developpment, appropriation and circulation of these new monetary forms, which serve a variety of projects (individual, associative, public policy), involve heterogeneous actors and are inserted into contexts where they cohabit with older systems.
