Historical approaches in France and the French colonial empire, 17th-20th centuries
Les communs environnementaux sont les formes d’organisation grâce auxquelles les communautés gouvernent leurs environnements et leurs ressources via des formes de propriété collective : pâturages et forêts, zones humides et landes, cours d’eau et systèmes irrigués, champs et jardins, pêcheries, estrans, gisements de matériaux et de combustibles... Ces systèmes sont gérés par leurs ayant-droit, et mêlent souvent propriété pleinement commune et droits d’usage collectifs.

Qualifying and Quantifying Parliamentary Activity: Data, Methods and Practices
Congrès de l'Association française de science politique (AFSP) 2017 – Section thématique 38
Parliamentary activity is far from being a neglected topic in political science: on the contrary, enough research exists to allow for the confrontation of concurrent hypotheses on the nature, the functioning and the logics of what parliamentarians do. However, our review of that research reveals that it falls short of fully taking into account the qualification and quantification of newer legislative data sources, made available to researchers through digital technology and its implementation by parliamentary services. In light of that review, this thematic panel offers to establish a general review of the ways in which political science research conceptualises both the qualification and quantification of parliamentary activity.

Actors, practices and representations of security
Police, firemen, customs officials, soldiers and society, 19th-20th centuries
Ouvert en 2000, le séminaire de la Sorbonne poursuit deux objectifs. Étudier l’histoire, longtemps négligée par les chercheurs, de la Gendarmerie, une force militaire et policière originale, acteur essentiel de la sécurité et composante du système de défense. Élargir les travaux à la Police nationale et aux autres forces (civiles ou militaires, publiques ou privées, professionnelles ou informelles), qui contribuent à la sécurité, intérieure et extérieure, afin de participer au décloisonnement des recherches et à une meilleure compréhension de l’histoire de la sécurité, en France et à l’étranger.

The Price of Peace: Modernising the Ancien Régime?
Europe 1815-1848
In many historiographic traditions, the so-called "Restoration" has been depicted as an awkward interval between the Napoleonic Wars and the age of nationalism. This international conference has the ambition of breaking down old myths and stereotypes about the ‘Restoration’ in order to think more broadly and openly about the key transitions and issues. The conference will revolve around the provocative historiographical issue of whether the post-Napoleonic order represented an attempt to reconcile the heritage of the Ancien Régime with a deeply transformed world. Topics explored by panels of invited experts from across Europe will include Rethinking the "Restoration", New departures in international relations, Constitutions vs. Charters, Rebirth of composite monarchies, Before and Beyond the Nation, Historicising the Ancien Régime?, New borders and old identities.

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.

Literature and culture in the transition to democracy in Spain
La transition vue des marges
L’objectif de ces 1er journées d’étude sur « Littérature et culture de la transition espagnole : la transition vue des marges » est donc d’aborder l’histoire littéraire et culturelle à partir du travail mené par ces mouvements contestataires ou ex-centriques, en soulignant ces manifestations dissidentes comme reflet ou représentation de cette période ; comme une entrée nécessaire pour comprendre les mutations, réajustements, capitulations, innovations qui ont peu à peu composé le tissu littéraire et culturel de ces années-là, et qui expliqueraient les chemins suivis au cours des décennies suivantes.

Prim@ Facie, Vol 15, No 29 (2016)
We are especially interested in manuscripts on social rights and democracy. Our intent is to prepare a set of discussions on how democracies promote social rights today, i.e., to what extent social movements, legal institutions, parliaments and executive power are able to find solutions to the challenges of democracies today? Have, for example, affirmative action, housing and health care programs, and even direct financial assistance to the poor actually reduced inequality? In addition, what are the most effective solutions for poverty? Are courts the best way to ensure social rights today? We are also interested in papers that address the costs of social programs. These are some of the possibilities, but many other questions may be brought to the table. We encourage submissions based on historical approaches carried out by jurists, political scientists, historians, sociologists, and other professionals in fields that have particular focus on legal problems.

Conference, symposium - Early modern
Recherches récentes et nouvelles perspectives
Lors d’une exposition tenue à Paris, les Archives nationales ont présenté au public un ensemble considérable de pièces d’archives (textes réglementaires, dépêches secrètes, relevés de surveillance, lettres d’espions, messages codés, transcriptions d'écoutes, organigrammes de services, etc.), de machines de chiffrage ou d’instruments d’espionnage qui ont révélé l’action secrète de l’État depuis la fin de l’Ancien Régime. Ce colloque s’attache, quant à lui, à faire le bilan d’une décennie d’avancées historiographiques de la recherche française. Comment faire l’histoire d’une activité protégée par le secret ? Quelles voies et quelles méthodes les historiens ont- ils empruntées ? Des administrations du secret aux missions de renseignement et de guerre clandestine, quels nouveaux contours tracent les études françaises sur le renseignement, du XVIIe au XXe siècle ? Dans une perspective comparative, quelles innovations apportent les études françaises face aux Intelligence Studies ?

Order in War. Gendarmeries and Police facing WWI
During the First World War, as peacetime economies were transformed into war-focused production systems, European law- enforcement agencies had to adapt to new conditions. The wartime reorganizations of police forces need to be understood comparatively. The First World War set a series of similar requirements in all European countries at war and, to some extent, in some neutral countries also. This conference aims to open new perspectives rather than bringing full and final responses. This is a particularly broad, complex and new historiographic field: the history of law enforcement institutions in Europe in a specific context - specifically total war, the kind of conflict that significantly fostered forms of disorder. We will focus particularly on the diversity of forces, from military to civil police, posted or not on the front line, in belligerent or neutral countries, in metropoles or empires.
