Estuarine and Lagoon Ecosystem Trajectories

Throughout the world, estuaries and lagoons are among the most intensely modified and threatened aquatic ecosystems. Moreover, these systems are vulnerable to the consequences of global change. From a management point of view, there is a tremendous and concrete lack of knowledge regarding the functioning of estuarine ecosystems and the socio-economic relations that bind the various actors to these environments. This ECSA symposium will contribute to provide sound science on past and future estuarine and lagoon ecosystem evolution from ecological, social and political point of view. All example of medium and long terms surveys, describing how the ecosystem and socio-ecosystem is evolving are welcome.

Fences, Walls and Borders : State of Insecurity?

Colloque international – Montréal – 17 et 18 mai 2011. Vingt ans après la chute du mur de Berlin, la question de Robert Frost demeure entière : « les bonnes barrières font-elles les bons voisins ? ». Depuis la Grande muraille de Chine, amorcée au IIIe siècle avant J.-C. par la dynastie Qin, le mur d'Antonin érigé en Écosse par les Romains pour appuyer le mur d'Hadrien, le Limes romain, le « mur » est une des constantes – en Orient comme en Occident – qui ont marqué les frontières infra et inter-étatiques. C'est ce que ce colloque, rassemblant des chercheurs de quatre continents, des anthropologues, sociologues, juristes, politologues, artistes va explorer.

The Appropriations of Public Policies by Citizens

Sixth International Conference in Interpretive Policy Analysis

Au-delà des oppositions entre les approches « top down » et « bottom up » de l’action publique, rares sont les travaux questionnant les appropriations des politiques par leurs publics. Les publics des institutions ne constituent pas un ensemble homogène et on peut différencier les attitudes des acteurs sociaux face à la mise en œuvre des politiques dans différents secteurs. On peut faire l’hypothèse que les trajectoires, ressources et propriétés sociales des administrés influent sur les appropriations qu’ils font de l’action publique.

The Obama Administration, 2009-2011: Departures, Continuities, Future

Ce colloque réunit des chercheurs américains et européens pour réfléchir aux dispositifs électoraux, institutionnels, sociaux et politiques de l’Amérique contemporaine. Il s’agit moins, au lendemain des élections législatives du 2 novembre 2010, de procéder à un bilan à mi-mandat que de réfléchir aux dynamiques structurelles qui ont facilité l’élection de Barack Obama en 2008 mais entravent aujourd'hui son action.

Ten Years After 9/11: What Have We Learned?

The tenth anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001 provides an opportunity to reflect upon and assess what we have learned—and not learned—about communication and conflict. Some commentators have stated that “everything changed after 9/11”. However, it is important to inquire into what changed and what continues to operate within the conceptual frameworks that have existed for decades, even centuries. Papers are invited for this issue of the Global Media Journal -- Canadian Edition that will focus on the role of communication and media in conflicts and conflict resolution since 9/11.

Multiculturalism and Gender in France, UK, Canada and the U.S.

Les débats français, britanniques, canadiens et nord-américains sur les tensions entre universalisme et particularisme sont au centre des questions relatives à l’immigration et à la diversité ethno-raciale, religieuse et de genre. Ce colloque se propose tout d’abord d’explorer les manières dont chacun des quatre pays gère les tensions entre multiculturalisme et genre. Ensuite, face aux réponses institutionnelles et aux pressions du groupe, de quelle manière les personnes les plus vulnérables des groupes réagissent-elles ? Enfin, dans quelle mesure les mouvements antiracistes sont-ils les alliés des mouvements féministes ?
