In her study on book trade between Latin America and Spain, exclusively commissioned by the Alliance to Elena Enríquez Fuentes (Mexico), the author shows the important imbalance in international trade. As for Stéphane Marill, she has carried out a meticulous and extremely well-documented field investigation on calls for tenders in the school textbook industry in Ivory Coast. These two studies convey well the spirit of the Alliance’s Resource Center, that is: to make available to professionals a corpus of definitions (Key notions section), a set of specific thematic analyses (Thematic studies section), comprehensive surveys (Collection “État des lieux de l’édition”) as well as some Practical information for professionals. The International Alliance of Independent Publishers’ Resource Center is supported by the Conseil Régional d’Île-de-France.
