  Migrations and exiles

  One of the 20th century's main features was the large movements of people abandoning their places of origin for economic, political and social reasons. Migration-fostering conditions, like the search for sufficient means of subsistence, escaping from armed conflict and political and religious persecution, are intensified by economic crises and the advent of authoritarian Governments. In the host countries, emigrants, exiles and refugees form associations, publish periodicals, hold commemorations and foster socialisation tools, which make them a group with a national identity and/or a specific political positioning. Concomitantly, they undergo acculturation, as a result of their inevitable adjustment to the new reality, translated into the activities they perform and the structure of the relations they keep with the host country.

  The (de)construction of Europe (1939-1945)

  3rd annual encounter of Europe and the world

  Suite aux rencontres organisées en 2012 et en 2013, respectivement intitulées Pour la Paix (1849-1939) et L’Europe de l’entre-deux-guerres (1919-1939), la III^e Rencontre annuelle l’Europe et le Monde propose à la réflexion et à la discussion les idées, les propositions et les initiatives qui, dans le contexte de la seconde guerre mondiale, ont eu l’Europe pour objet. Les années de guerre ont vu, en particulier dans les mouvements de résistance, se former des conceptions nouvelles de l’union politique et économique de l’Europe. Entraînée dans un processus d’autodestruction, l’Europe a été durant le même temps repensée dans des architectures diverses où les esprits ont cherché à configurer leurs idéaux de coopération européenne.
