  Endowment for transmission? The social and economic history of the Jewish family (15th-19th centuries)

  Une histoire économique et sociale de la famille juive (XVe-XIXe siècle)

  La storia ebraica costituisce un capitolo rilevante e particolarmente fecondo dell’attuale dibattito scientifico, sia sul versante storico-economico, che su quello antropologico, culturale e religioso. All’interno di un orizzonte di ricerca molto vasto, che identifica i Jewish studies come vero e proprio campo disciplinare, il convegno si propone di indagare, attraverso un’ottica comparativa, uno specifico argomento: le forme e le funzioni di utilizzo delle doti. L’istituzione dotale si configurava come uno degli elementi strategici nelle forme di organizzazione delle società ebraiche in Antico regime. Il suo studio ravvicinato e comparato consente, pertanto, di gettare una luce su molteplici aspetti.

  The Role of Think Tanks and Technical Experts in Foreign and Security Policy

  This international conference is part of celebrations for the 50^th anniversary of Rome's Istituto Affari Internazionali. Taking IAI's role as a starting point, we wish to look more carefully at the think tank model and its role. The IAI case study allows us to illustrate both the culture promoting model and the technical expertise model which plays a direct role in advising and shaping government policy. Starting from the analysis of think tanks, we can broaden our overview to include the role of experts in foreign and security policy in an attempt to pinpoint the common factors and specific characteristics connected with the role of experts.

  The Autocephalous Church: an ecclesiastical necessity or political result?

  Exercising independence in eastern Slav churches (10th-20th centuries) - Session 1

  Par définition, l’Église est « une ». Sous l’apparente simplicité de la qualification se loge une souplesse remarquable de pensées et de pratiques de l’unité, qui se sont déployées au cours de l’histoire dans diverses directions. L’autocéphalie est l’une d’elles et renvoie à l’origine, dans le cadre du christianisme oriental, aux archevêques et aux métropolites élus localement sans requérir l’intervention d’une instance supérieure.

  Cardinals and cardinal-ship, an elite and the challenge of modernity (1775-1978)

  Second season: cardinals, between court and curia

  Si l’actualité place souvent les cardinaux sous les feux des projecteurs et si les historiens s’intéressent régulièrement à certaines figures de « grands » cardinaux, la fonction cardinalice et les logiques internes au corps des cardinaux restent largement méconnus, surtout pour la période contemporaine. Ce projet sur les cardinaux vise à combler cette lacune historiographique. Après une première rencontre à Paris en juin 2014 (consacrée aux sources, aux méthodes et aux différentes approches disciplinaires de ce corps d'élite), cette seconde rencontre a Rome traitera du cardinalat et des cardinaux entre cour pontificale et curie romaine, envisageant en premier lieu les cardinaux en tant que membres et acteurs d’une société de cour puis leurs fonctions au sein de l’ensemble institutionnel de la curie.

  Libya in Transition

  Elites, Civil Society, Factionalism and State Reshaping

  Today’s Libya symbolizes the complexity of the transformations which have been modifying and reshaping the southern shore of the Mediterranean since 2011. The current Libyan transition, which is characterized by institutional fragility and has its own historical, political, and economic specificities is, however, part of major and wider dynamics of change that are related to more than a single Arabic country. The Conference therefore aims to discuss the process of Libyan transition from comparative perspectives.
