    Agriculture and geopolitics

    Rivalry, power and copperation

    La Société française d'économie rurale organise le colloque pluridisciplinaire « Agriculture et géopolitique : rivalités, puissance, coopération » qui se déroulera les 12 et 13 février 2014 à l'université Saint-Quentin Versailles. La question qui sous-tend ce colloque est la suivante : en quoi l’agriculture est-elle (re)devenue un objet géopolitique ? Pour apporter des éléments de réponse, il s'agira notamment de porter un double regard, scientifique et institutionnel, sur la logique conflictuelle à l’œuvre sur les marchés mondiaux agricoles et sur les ressources foncières et hydriques, les aspects régionaux de la conflictualité agricole et alimentaire et de la précarité des approvisionnements, le rôle qu’entend jouer l’Union Européenne et singulièrement la France dans cette économie agricole mondiale en pleine mutation.

    Call for papers - Modern

    Globalisation and Minor Cultural Groups

    The role of so-called minority people in rethinking the future of modern societies

    Minority groups, whose way of life has historically suffered from globalization, are often cited as victims of global processes, but they are rarely studied for the techniques or technologies of accommodation and resistance they have implemented as a response to global processes— the most devastating of these processes being colonization in its various aspects. Indeed, globalist literature does not yet offer a conceptualization or theorizing of the social, cultural, political and territorial continuity of “minorized” cultures, let alone does it afford enough analytical space to these so-called cultural minorities in the process of questioning the values and practices of globalization. Therefore, this conference will participate in building more connections between different experiences  in order to think up the best alternatives to the global economic and political system in place and to the way of life brought about by global phenomena which do not work anymore.
