  Populismes arabes et européens : approches comparées

  troisième colloque annuel du Centre arabe de recherches et d’études politiques de Paris (CAREP)

  Alors qu’en Occident, les populismes se fondent sur le rejet des partis traditionnels, du parlementarisme, des multinationales, du libre-échange, du politiquement correct et de l’islam présenté comme menace identitaire, dans le monde arabe, c’est à l’inverse, un populisme d’État ancré dans un discours patriotique de légitimation des institutions qui permet d’assimiler toute critique à un acte de haute trahison. À cela s’ajoute l’utilisation de la religion, aussi bien par les régimes que par les oppositions, comme outil de légitimation et de dénigrement des adversaires. Plutôt que de chercher à analyser les phénomènes populistes au prisme d’un même moule, il s’agira, à travers l’étude des cas européens et arabes, de questionner la diversité du phénomène.

  The Pillars of Rule

  The Writ of Dynasties and Nation-States in the Middle East and South Asia

  Max Weber famously argued that states lay claim to the monopoly of the legitimate use of violence over certain circumscribed territories. However, historical and anthropological research has challenged his ideal-typical vision by showing how the idea of the unitary state is a fiction that can only be produced through the action of interrelated but partly autonomous agents. States, and the various institutions that constitute them, face the strategic task of identifying and domesticating the social networks that are necessary for them to secure control over particular territories and their populations. Local strongmen and notables can in turn use their own local influence in order to gain recognition from higher-level, more powerful, state institutions. In this international conference, scholars from a variety of disciplines will explore the ways in which dynastic power and/or the rule of the state is asserted, negotiated and contested across both the Middle East and South Asia.
