  Contaminations, the environment, health and society: from risk assessment to public action

  The quality of the environment is currently acknowledged as being a determining factor not only on health but also the social welfare of populations. Attention is regularly drawn to the harmful effects of environmental contamination on health and sustainable development at all levels, from local up to global. The uncertain consequences of their accumulation (cocktail effect) during unwanted exposure are potentially conflicting and damaging to health, thus making them a subject of concern. Studying environmental risks therefore requires an interdisciplinary approach, bringing into question scientific assessment methods and knowledge transfer to facilitate operations.

  Action and nature

  Theme issue of the NPSS - New Perspectives in the Social Sciences

  Les textes proposés viseront à examiner la spécificité des liens réciproques mais non symétriques entre action et nature, entre nature et action : actions, réactions, rétroactions. La nature révèle notre société dans sa capacité/incapacité à agir, comme notre action révèle nos représentations de la nature. L’accent est mis sur l’action collective (législation préalable à l’action qu’elle encadre, gestion, planification, protection, stratégie, ingénierie, projet…) sans toutefois exclure l’action individuelle (actes, usages, pratiques, projets, anticipations…) à condition qu’elle révèle nos représentations de la nature et/ou qu’elle soit présentée comme découlant de facteurs d’ordre naturel. La nature comme l’action peuvent être abordées comme catégories analytiques ou philosophiques ou bien à travers des cas particuliers, localisés, remis en situation.

  Transforming the ocean law by requirement of the marine environment conservation

  Human Sea European Research Council program final international Conference

  The Human Sea European research Council program aims to respond to the problems related to the development of human activities at sea, which lead progressively to a transformation of the law of the sea and maritime law, and remain today legally little framed. The objective of the Human Sea program, led by Patrick Chaumette, Professor of Law at the University of Nantes and former director of the Center of Maritime and Oceanic Law (CDMO), is to rethink the concepts born of the history of maritime activities and navigation and to question the intervention of States at sea, from their territorial waters to the high seas. The compromises reached in 1982 with respect to the law of the sea will also be examined in the light of threats and new techniques.
