  This dossier aims to disseminate research findings focused on challenges of cultural policies and critical perspectives addressing key cultural issues facing cities and territories today from a comparative point of view. We aim to find out how and if cultural policies are consistent in promoting cultural diversity and social inclusion. The contributors are also invited to offer new theoretical perspectives on cultural policy and to provide for examples of cities and territories that achieved their goals in terms of promotion of cultural diversity and social developement.

  Financialization and development policies

  Critical perspectives on new financial circuits for international development projects

  In this conference we look at the ways in which private finance actors or practices are enrolled and associated to the conception and implementation of policies for international development. In parallel to the implementation of policies oriented towards “development goals”, the development landscape has seen over the last decades a transformation in partaking actors that now encompass charitable foundations, multi-national corporations, and financial intermediaries, in addition to multilateral or bilateral public development banks and aid agencies. “Financing development“, in other words finding additional monetary resources, has now become an issue at the top of the agenda of multilateral development actors. Increasingly, these strive to commit private actors and to “lever in“ private money.

  In reaction to today's ecological challengess and social inequality: what new models of action for influencing transformation to society?

  Association francophone pour le savoir (ACFAS) conference

  Nous faisons face à des défis d’envergure, socio-économiques autant qu’environnementaux : changements climatiques, hausse des inégalités sociales et économiques, mais aussi de l’accès aux sphères décisionnelles. Pour y faire face, l’échelon local est vu comme un espace privilégié d’expérimentation. Qu’elles se rattachent à la « démocratie participative » (Blondiaux, 2008), à la « transition écologique » (Hopkins, 2010), aux « utopies concrètes » (Olin Wright, 2017) au Buen Vivir (Santos, 2016) ou aux « communs » (Dardot, Laval, 2014), plusieurs innovations sociales (IS) sont développées à cet échelon, conçu comme celui de la proximité et de la sociabilité, du concret et de l’enracinement dans le territoire.
