    Emergent economies in a polycentric globalised world

    Perspectives on the advantages and vulnerabilities of the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the horizon, 2030

    Organisé sur une base interdisciplinaire, ce colloque est centré sur les approches théoriques des puissances émergentes et des analyses empiriques appliquées à la République démocratique du Congo (RDC). En privilégiant les approches interdisciplinaires, comparatives, prospectives, géo-économiques, stratégiques et socio-culturelles, il se veut l'occasion d'une réflexion scientifique sur la trajectoire, les ressorts et les potentialités, les atouts et les vulnérabilités de la RDC, considérée à la fois comme un pays en « émergence » et un champ privilégié des pays émergents.

    Borders, walls and violence

    Costs and Alternatives to Border Fencing

    More border walls and border fences are being built every year all across the world. Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Morocco, and Tunisia are among the latest to announce yet another border fence. Twenty-five years ago it was believed that the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reconfiguration of international relations would open an age of globalization in which States would become obsolete, ushering in a world without borders. In the wake of 9/11, however, borders came back in light, new borders were created and new border walls erected. In the wake of the Arab Spring, came even more border barriers and walls, symbols that were thought to have disappeared with the collapse of the bipolar international system. Today, they reinforce borderlines the world over, transforming both soft and semi-permeable borders alike into sealed, exclusionary hard borders. Walls are symbols of identity reaffirmation, markers of State sovereignty, instruments of dissociation, locus of a growing violence.

    Fung Global Fellows Program “International Society: Institutions and Actors in Global Governance”

    Princeton University is pleased to announce the call for applications to the Fung Global Fellows Program at the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS).  Each year the program selects six scholars from around the world to be in residence at Princeton for an academic year and to engage in research and discussion around a common theme. During the academic year 2016/17, the theme for the Fung Global Fellows Program will be “International Society: Institutions and Actors in Global Governance.” The growth of international organizations and transnational actors has brought about the emergence of a dense international society above the nation-state. Under what circumstances do new international organizations or transnational associations emerge, and when do they expand in their membership and jurisdiction? Does international society function as a constraint on states? How do states and societal actors navigate the complex and overlapping jurisdictions of international organizations? In what ways do international organizations and associations function as distinct cultures or as bureaucracies with their own interests?

    La fabrique de l’action publique dans les pays « sous régime d’aide »

    Acteurs, processus, négociations

    L’action publique peut se définir comme la façon dont des acteurs, étatiques, privés, associatifs, à différentes échelles, agissent sur des problèmes définis comme problèmes publics ou collectifs et contribuent ainsi à réguler les rapports sociaux. Le colloque 2015 de l’APAD vise à interroger les modalités actuelles de production et de mise en œuvre de l’action publique, dans les pays sous régime d’aide, à partir d’analyses empiriques approfondies, portant sur différents secteurs d’action publique.
