  The impant of the rise of emerging countries on economic governance and international trade and financial regulations

  CoSPoF-SQSP conference 2017

  Depuis les années 2000, la montée en puissance des pays émergents a modifié les rapports de force au sein du système de gouvernance économique mondiale. Dans un monde de plus en plus multipolaire, les politiques extérieures des principaux pays émergents visent davantage à légitimer leur statut de puissances régionales qu’à promouvoir un multilatéralisme véritablement démocratique. Dans ce contexte d’évolution des rapports de force internationaux, cet atelier pose la question de l’impact de la montée en puissance des pays émergents sur la gouvernance économique et les régulations commerciales et financières internationales.

  Global Internet Governance as a Diplomacy Issue

  The First European Multidisciplinary Conference on Global Internet Governance – Actors, Regulations, Transactions and Strategies (GIG-ARTS 2017)

  “Digital diplomacy” has recently been the subject of significant debates, events and activities at a variety of governance sites. The concept is often used without having been clearly defined and delimited. For some, it is restricted to the use of digital means, especially social networks, by diplomats to practice a kind of “Public Diplomacy 2.0”. In others’ views, it extends to foreign affairs and international relations with regard to all matters related to the digital environment, including internet governance. There is undoubtedly a need to better understand recent transformations of diplomacy in the digital era, their drivers and their nature, whether and how they might change European and transnational power relations and, ultimately, which values they carry and channel on the global scene.

  Tensões em diferentes latitudes: austeridade, democracia e direitos

  O processo de globalização, as opções de desenvolvimento hoje muito marcadas pela “austeridade” no contexto de políticas económicas de mercado liberalizado, onde tudo tende a ser mercantilizado, colocam os direitos dos cidadãos, desde logo os laborais e os sociais, sob grandes tensões. Com intervenções da Europa e da América Latina proceder-se-á a uma troca de ideias e interpretações sobre problemas diversos das sociedades e sobre questões do direito numa perspectiva da defesa dos valores democráticos e cívicos.

  The Political Economy of the Islamic Republic of Iran

  An accurate assessment of the current economic and political situation in Iran today clearly implies examining the relations between the structure of political power, the dominant forms of ownership, and economic activity. Furthermore, the interweaving of the economic and political spheres in Iran today can be better understood through this lens. Finally, an analysis of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s political economy can also provide keys to understand the country's future political evolutions. An analysis in terms of political economy thus requires a multidisciplinary approach involving exchanges between economists, political scientists, sociologists, and historians.

  African extraversions and globalisations. Abroad viewed from Africa in the long term

  Dans la continuité de la réflexion interdisciplinaire amorcée aux rencontres des études africaines 2014 (« Les réseaux connectés de l'océan Indien »), nous voulons dans cet atelier étendre le questionnement sur le rapport des sociétés africaines au global, en partant d'analyses locales. Les sociétés africaines s'inscrivent dans des relations mondialisées qui ont connu plusieurs phases de flux et de reflux depuis l'antiquité jusqu'à nos jours. À partir du XVIII^e siècle et surtout du XIX^e à aujourd'hui, les sociétés africaines ont été intégrées de manière de plus en plus rapide dans des circuits d'échange de biens et de superstructures qui ont modifié en profondeur leurs organisations et leurs conceptions du monde.
