  Corruption

  La lancinante question de la corruption a pris une dimension nouvelle depuis le début des années 1990. Certains y ont vu l'idée de la généralisation de l'idée démocratique, d'autres une conséquence inéluctable de la mondialisation économique, phénomènes qui se renforcent mutuellement. La corruption est devenue un leitmotiv de l'action aussi bien d'institutions internationales comme la banque mondiale, que d'ONG comme Transparency international. Dans les vieilles démocraties aussi, la corruption se pose comme un thème politique majeur qui alimente le populisme. Ainsi la corruption est souvent dénoncée, plus rarement décrite et encore moins souvent pensée. C'est ce déficit que le séminaire de philosophie du droit voudrait combler en s'efforçant de réunir aussi bien des universitaires que des praticiens, des juristes que des anthropologues, des philosophes ou des historiens, dans le but d'appréhender ce phénomène social total dans toutes ses dimensions.

  Debt, Democracy, Citizenship: A Political History of public debts

  Europe, United States, since the late 18th century

  Organized as a workshop, this symposium aims to explore the public debt as the locus for political debates and conflicts. It brings together case studies analyzing aspects of the link between politics (especially in its social or participative dimensions) and the indebtedness of states. The discussions will help shed new light on such central concepts, for our understanding of the modern political world, as sovereignty, citizenship, democracy, and solidarity.
