  Conference, symposium - Political studies

  How "European values" unite and divide. Rule of law, identity and morality politics in the European Union

  Final Conference of the ValEUR research project

  The conference addresses the role, effects and meanings of values at the crossroads of politics, culture, market and law. It documents the circulation and shaping of values between the different spheres of the European multi-level governance (local, national, supranational, transnational). It investigates the EU as a container of values politics as well as its interactions with external entities (Council of Europe, UN, rest of the world). A secondary purpose is to map the research using values as an exploratory framework of wider transformations of politics, policies and polities in Europe. Leaders of scientific projects having developed such agendas in recent years figure among the contributors.

  1989’s contested legacies

  The challenging of ideological, institutional and (geo)political heritage

  This conference aims at rethinking the legacy of 1989 in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) through the prism of its ongoing contestations, with a focus on the current trends and deliberate political efforts that challenge the major achievements of Velvet Revolutions as well as the outcomes of the collapse of the Iron Curtain. 1989 launched a process that continues to this day. Three decades of transformations, crises and setbacks have noticeably changed the shape of Central and Eastern European societies.

  The return of Russia and the reconfiguration of power games in Central Africa

  Dialectique des Intelligences journal no.06

  Ce numéro se propose d’analyser les enjeux géoéconomiques, géopolitiques et géostratégiques autour desquels gravite l’actuelle offensive de la Russie en Afrique. Comment percevoir le retour de la Russie sur le continent depuis le début du XXI^e siècle ? Dans la compétition déjà virulente entre les puissances occidentales elles-mêmes, entre celles-ci et la Chine pour le contrôle de l’Afrique centrale dont la cécité stratégique des dirigeants est caractéristique des pays, quel apport peut avoir l’entrée en scène de le Russie ? Quelles incidences l’entrée en scène de la Russie pourrait avoir dans la rude compétition de puissance dans une Afrique centrale au cœur de convoitises des grandes puissances, occidentales et émergentes ? Les approches historiques, juridiques, politiques, sécuritaires, diplomatiques, culturelles et stratégiques devront permettre de répondre à ces interrogations qui mettent en lumière la nouvelle politique africaine de la Russie.
