  Borders, Walls and Violence

  Costs and Alternatives to Border Fencing

  Chaque semaine amène l’annonce de la construction d’un nouveau mur frontalier : Kenya / Somalie, Tunisie / Libye, Hongrie / Serbie, Turquie / Syrie… De nouveaux remparts sont érigés, dans la foulée du 11 septembre, du Printemps arabe et du conflit syrien, pour prévenir, enrayer, selon les discours officiels, l’immigration illégale, la contagion terroriste, le trafic. Désormais, les frontières ne sont plus des lignes, ni même des interfaces. Elles ne sont plus souples et poreuses, elles sont dures et agressives. À la frontière, la nouvelle norme est celle d’une violence latente.

  Contemporary crisis and changes

  Geoeconomical and geopolitical approaches

  For several years, the world seems to have entered a period of high instability. Economically, the "subprime mortgage crisis" appeared in 2007 in the USA, then spread planet wide in all areas of activity. In 2015, economic difficulties persist (growth stagnation in developed countries and lower growth in emerging markets, explosion of unemployment, deindustrialisation and offshoring, market tensions in China, the euro zone, etc.). In geopolitical terms, tension spots have also multiplied (Saharian and Sahelian Africa, Middle East, Far East and Eastern Europe) leading to strong migratory waves while power poles seem to be redeploying between the USA, China and other regional powers.The aim of the conference "Contemporary Crisis and changes" is to question these contemporary upheavals through both a geo-economic and a geopolitical reading. The conference will provide elements of analysis and compare them especially with contemporary representations of globalisation emphasizing in particular the logic of closure that seems to characterize this phenomenon.
