Présente sur tous les continents, sans exception, et progressivement institutionnalisée à partir des années 1960, la francophonie doit être interrogée dans ses multiples interactions, culturelles, mais aussi économiques, politiques, stratégiques et militaires. En effet, les enjeux, les choix voire les dominations linguistiques ou culturelles s'appuient aussi sur la défense d'intérêts politiques, stratégiques, économiques et commerciaux. Espace de circulations transnationales et de confrontations, la francophonie doit s'appréhender historiquement dans la diversité de ses acteurs, associatifs, gouvernementaux et intergouvernementaux, parlementaires, scientifiques, médiatiques, artistiques, issus des collectivités territoriales ou de la société civile. Fondé sur ces questions de base, ce colloque de la revue Relations internationales a vocation à étudier l’histoire de la francophonie, de la fin du XIXe siècle à nos jours, des réseaux, des échanges et des institutions que le partage de la langue française a produits, mais aussi des tensions et des crises qu'elle a fait naître ou qu'elle a eu à gérer.

Italy and Yugoslavia in the Interwar Period
Monographic issue of “Qualestoria. Rivista di storia contemporanea”
The signing of the Treaty of Rapallo in 1920 made it possible to find a solution to the Italian-Yugoslav dispute over the north-eastern Adriatic border, a solution that would last substantially until the Italian invasion of the neighbouring kingdom in World War 2. Relations between Italy and Yugoslavia, particularly since the end of the 1920s, with the beginning of the more decidedly revisionist phase of fascist foreign policy regarding the structures of the Danubian-Balkan area, were never easy. However, the signing of the Treaty of Rapallo represented an undoubtedly important moment, which greatly contributed to restore a climate of collaboration between the two countries, heavily jeopardized by border nationalism and by the D’Annunzio’s “impresa di Fiume”, interrupted precisely by the Treaty of Rapallo.

Crossing borders and Latin America
Nous souhaiterions réfléchir lors de ce colloque sur l’Amérique latine transfrontalière autant du point de vue des échanges et des apports mutuels, littéraires et artistiques, que des enjeux concernant les différents facteurs (culturels, géopolitiques, environnementaux, économiques) ayant une incidence dans la construction-destruction de murs et le contrôle des flux (personnes, capital, marchandises).

Alps and Resistance: conflicts, violences and political reflections (1943-1945)
Cambridge Scholars Publishing
What is the relationship between the Alps and the Resistance during the Italian Social Republic? The focus of the book is to deepen the function of the Alps as a “centre” of battles, violences and opposition to fascism, as well as the cradle of political debate destined to forge the modern Italian and European democracy.

ReThinking Europe in Scandinavia and the Baltic Sea Region
The 11th annual international conference on Nordic and Baltic Studies
Brexit has just happened and its consequences are not yet fully comprehended. Would the outcome be a return to a status quo ante the Brentry of 1 January 1973 in British-EU relations? Would Britain become a sort of bigger Norway tightly connected to the EU, but yet not fully a member of the united organization? Would Britain really continue to exist as such? Would Scotland, not to mention other territories, emulate London and decide on their own Brexit, this time from the United Kingdom, in order to rejoin the EU? Would actually Brexit become a pathway for other skeptical EU nations? Would Brexit rocket exclusive forms of nationalisms? Would the whole of united Europe collapse, on the long run, as a result of Brexit as the League of Nations had become toothless after the US Senate had vetoed the Pact of League of Nations? But what effect is going to have Brexit on Scandinavian countries which historically have been closely connected to Britain? How is it reflected in Scandinavian intellectual milieus, in mass-media, in public discourses? What about the Baltic states which received a strong support from Britain in key moments of their history, for instance when Royal Navy came at the rescue of Estonian and Latvian independence following World War I or in the process of re-enactment of Baltic sovereignty after the collapse of the Soviet Union?

Internationalism(s) and education during the Cold War
Actors, rivalries and circulations
Not much research has been focused on educational internationalism, as it developed during the Cold War. Yet, this period provides an exceptional framework for understanding the evolution and metamorphosis of the processes of internationalization of knowledge and educational practices, whether in the school sphere or in the extra-curricular environment. Driven by a multitude of national, international, and imperial actors, these are articulated through the ideological confrontation between the blocs of the East and the West, but also through the challenges posed by European integration, decolonization, the emergence of "third worldism" and the attempts to regulate international relations (maintenance of peace and security, etc.). Therefore, the aim of this conference is to lay the foundations for a global history of educational internationalism, tracing its forms, its trajectories (North-South, East-West, South-South), as well as its impact on the political framework and the balance of power determined by the “global Cold War”.

Diplomatic departures: negotiating Britain’s international outreach in the contemporary world
In recent years, the expansion of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office network into new countries has generated increasing interest in the role of the places and spaces where diplomacy is made, in the international outreach of the United Kingdom and in the interactions between state and non-state actors and initiatives in delivering foreign policy objectives. What has received perhaps less sustained attention is the impact of diplomatic departures in Britain and in the British diplomatic network on the rethinking of Britain’s influence and power (hard, soft and smart). These departures - from the more dramatic to the more mundane - will be the focus of this conference, which will reflect on the adaptability and resilience of Britain’s international networks, and on what characterises both British diplomacy and Britain as a diplomatic space.

The exit from war in Danubian Europe: a new era? (1918-1924)
Using the Hungarian case as a springboard, and broadening the perspective to the whole of Danubian Europe, the conference seeks to address the following questions: the new social bonds emerging from the transformation brought about by the Paris Peace Conference; social, intellectual and (or) regional impact of changes, conflicts and international confrontations between 1918 and 1924. The conference aims to rise to the challenge of writing comparative social histories of this historical moment.

Mixed arbitral tribunals, 1919–1930
An experiment in the international adjudication of private rights
The creation of a system of Mixed Arbitral Tribunals (MATs) was a major contribution of the post-WWI peace treaties to the development of international adjudication. Numerically speaking, the 36 MATs were undoubtedly the busiest international courts of the interwar period. Taken together, they decided on more than 70,000 cases, mostly covering private rights. The MATs are similarly remarkable from a procedural point of view. First, their respective rules of procedure were so detailed that contemporaries described them as 'miniature civil procedure codes'. Second, in a departure from most other international courts and tribunals, they also allowed individuals whose rights were at stake to become involved in the proceedings before them.

Media and propaganda in decolonisations and the first decades of African independence (1945-1975)
Le premier numéro de la Revue d'histoire contemporaine de l'Afrique a pour but d'examiner le rôle des médias dans les empires coloniaux tardifs, les décolonisations et les premières décennies des indépendances africaines. S'intéresser au rôle des médias (presse, cinéma, radio, télévision...) durant cette période s'impose pour trois raisons. Il s'agit d'abord d'un moment médiatique très riche avec un premier âge d'or de la presse, l'essor du cinéma et de la radio, la première implantation de la télévision au moment où le continent s'émancipe de la tutelle coloniale. C'est ensuite un champ qui reste l'apanage de la littérature scientifique anglophone et qui est peu étudié par la recherche francophone. Enfin, le choix d'une chronologie qui encadre les principales décolonisations permet de mettre à jour les continuités et les ruptures médiatiques au delà de l'obtention de la pleine souveraineté.

The pontificate of Pious XII (1939-1958) on the eve of the opening of the Vatican archives
Historiographical appraisals and research perspectives
Le 4 mars 2019, le pape François annonçait l’ouverture, prévue pour le 2 mars 2020, des archives vaticanes concernant le pontificat de Pie XII (1939-1958). Cette nouvelle a suscité l’attention de l’opinion publique internationale. Sur cette période très riche tant pour l’histoire politique, religieuse que culturelle de l’Europe et du monde, les perspectives s’annoncent vastes et aiguisent les appétits historiens. Dans ce contexte d’ouverture prometteuse, ce séminaire propose d’établir un état des lieux de l’historiographie abondante – et souvent polarisée – sur le pontificat du pape Pacelli, mais aussi d’identifier des pistes d’études, tout en nourrissant une dynamique collective de recherche.

Francoism, its image and policies of influence in France (1936-1975)
Cette journée d’étude entend interroger la politique d’influence du régime franquiste en France de la guerre civile jusqu’à la fin du régime, en 1975. Il s’agit de s’intéresser à la construction de son image publique destinée à traverser la frontière pyrénéenne et à sa réception sur le sol français. Si les évolutions internes du régime franquiste (guerre civile, premier et second franquisme) ont joué un rôle déterminant dans sa politique menée en France, les évolutions sur le territoire français ont joué un rôle tout aussi important. C’est ce phénomène d’interdépendance, ce jeu de miroir entre France et Espagne, que cette journée d’étude souhaite mettre en lumière.

The stranger as model - a source of inspiration and a vector for utopia in western Europe, from 1917
Ces deux journées d'étude qui se tiendront les 3 et 4 juin 2019 à l'Ens ont pour ambition de croiser des réflexions d'historiens et de politistes sur les enjeux de la représentation de l'étranger en modèle. Qu'il s'agisse de modèles politiques cités en exemple, de représentations valorisantes diffusées à des fins de propagande ou par des intellectuels, artistes ou simples militants sincèrement convaincus, les modalités de recours à un étranger idéalisé renvoient en réalité à une grande diversité de rhétoriques politiques. Les cultures politiques concernées sont également nombreuses, et nous souhaitons encourager des communications autour de la place que peut prendre le recours d'un modèle étranger dans les différentes idéologies ou stratégies politiques, le lien à la politique culturelle de certaines puissances, et les acteurs de ces transferts culturels.

Alsace and 1918: expulsions, migrations, mobilities
Expulsions, migrations, mobilités
Ce colloque entend reconsidérer l’histoire de l’Alsace, symbole français pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, à partir de son histoire migratoire entre 1918 et 1939 : expulsions des Allemands et des Alsaciens germanophiles, migrations de travail qui s’inscrivaient dans un espace régional transnational (Alsace, Lorraine, Ruhr) ; déplacements frontaliers, réfugiés des années 1930....

The Agreements of the Holy See with States (19th-21st Centuries)
Models and Transformations, from Confessional States to Religious Freedom
This conference will explore the international legal agreements signed between the Holy See and individual states, which often but not always took the form of concordats and similar conventions. Its central focus will be to examine these conventions in light of diplomatic practices, as well as in relation to the political and religious dynamics of the nineteenth through the twenty-first centuries, notably the principles and requirements that comprised modernity. This entails assessing the historical evolution of the typology, method, content, scope, and spaces concerned.
