  Justice globale et nouvel ordre international. Le cas des relations sino-africaines

  Le cadre de notre réflexion se focalisera sur la reconfiguration de l’ordre mondial en cours au sein de l’arène internationale contemporaine. Les pays émergents tels que le Brésil, la Russie, l’Inde et la Chine, entendent peser sur le sens de l’histoire, et re-façonner l’équilibre des puissances datant de la fin du vingtième siècle. Ils intensifient leurs politiques extérieures en destination de zones stratégiques riches en matières premières, a fortiori en Afrique, où les nations occidentales ont également des intérêts. Rappelons que la persistance de la pauvreté mondiale renvoie, selon Pogge, à des problématiques relevant de la justice globale, dans la mesure où ce phénomène résulte d’un ordre mondial ayant pour effet structurel d’entériner une injustice qui, par ailleurs, contredit la Déclaration universelle des droits de l’homme.

  South Asia from the Lens of Student Politics

  South Asia Multidiciplinary Academic Journal (SAMAJ)

  The papers in the seminar will address a broad range of research questions through acknowledging the regional and national variability of movements across Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. On what issues and identities students mobilise in South Asia? What is the visibility and influence of student politics on society and political process? To which extent student politics is tied to party politics and broader socio-political networks? What means and methods of mobilisation are employed by student activists? How student politics is affected by and reacts to neo-liberalism, consumerism and globalisation?

  Rejuvenating politics? Student politics and the history of youth’s political selves in South Asia

  UW Madison conference (October 2018)

  By drawing attention to the historical formation of both master narratives and counter claims developed by educated youth in the postcolonial period, the panel explores the relevance of campus spaces in the fashioning of political selves. After partition, many scholars regretted that students’ ‘movement’ had given way to sporadic, dispersed ‘agitations’, focused primarily on campus issues. Instead of dismissing group-based demands as ‘parochial’, or looking at students’ dispersion as a problem, this panel proposes to explore the myriad ways in which student politics supported, challenged or re-interpreted mainstream understandings of South Asian societies.
