  Migration via the sea or desert: recourse to religious figures in the migratory dynamics of Africa

  This conference intends broadly speaking, to open a scientific dialogue to discuss the place of the religious in the migratory dynamics. The conference anchoring point is the illegal migration from Africa towards Europe and Middle East. But proposals dealing with the link between religious and all other forms of human mobility within the African continental space or from it to other destinations could be examined according to their relevance. Four areas of reflection, non-exclusive, are suggested to shape the discussions: 1) Faith, beliefs and religious practices in the development / maturation of the migration project; 2) Socioeconomic uses and magico-religious experience on migration paths; 3) Religion and migratory networks; 4) Religious treatment of the migration issue.

  The sea: paradoxes, challenges and challenges for the Gulf of Guinea states in the 21st century

  The Gulf of Guinea is a region where in its evolution, the sea has become increasingly important and the maritime issues find all their illustrations. The legal aspect finds the economic one, and meets geopolitics. The issue of safety at sea is visible. The sea is, in this region of the world, a place of cooperation and belligerence, of encounter but also of greed and separation. It is a very rich maritime area, but one that fails to generate prosperous states. The book project aims to elicit a plural reading on a transdisciplinary construction of the Gulf of Guinea sea. Through an opening, it challenges many fields for national, sub-regional or even international issues. He therefore encourages social scientists, lawyers, economists, political scientists, environmentalists, etc. to submit original contributions.
