  Rethinking tobacco history: Commodities, empire and agency in global perspective, 1780–1960

  Tobacco was one of the most important globally traded commodities from the 17th century through to the present day, and yet it has received relatively little attention in the historiography of modern empires in comparison to other commodities, such as sugar or cotton. As a result, recent approaches to rewriting the history of European imperialism from a more global perspective have hardly been problematized with regard to the peculiarities of tobacco history. Nowadays, studies no longer understand empire as a rigid relationship between metropole and colonies, but take the dynamics of actors within an empire as seriously as the networks and global processes that crossed imperial borders, or indeed lay beyond them. The conference starts from this assumption.

  La francophonie interrégionale et « Une ceinture, une route » : de nouveaux vecteurs de transversalité ?

  Revue internationale des francophonies

  Le projet chinois à long terme « Une ceinture, une route » reflète une mutation des alliances et un décentrement des dynamiques mondiales. Ses dimensions matérielles et immatérielles en font une nouvelle architecture mondiale, une plateforme en évolution constante au service d’interactions internationales multilatérales et bilatérales. Elles ambitionnent de restructurer la gouvernance mondiale multi-sectorielle dans un contexte de forte interdépendance qui exclut une confrontation directe. Quels sont ses sources, ses moyens et son rayonnement ? S’agit-il d’une déconstruction de l’héritage politique et économique occidental ? Quelles en sont les perceptions par les principaux partenaires de la Chine (ordre de substitution ou affrontement, complémentarité ou rivalité) ?
