  Study days - History

  70 years of UN action (1945-2015)

  Cette journée d'études vise à stimuler la réflexion sur l'histoire des Nations unies en faisant se rencontrer des chercheurs de différents pays qui travaillent sur le système de l'ONU et ses agences spécialisées. Si la Société des Nations (1919-1945) a été déjà bien étudiée, peu de travaux encore jusqu'à présent portent sur l'ONU, qui lui a succédé en 1945. Il s'agit de faire le point sur la recherche sur l'histoire des Nations unies et de présenter quelques travaux en cours.

  Jihad and territory

  The first part of the conference will discuss the global jihad and strategies of territoiralization.The jihad narrative, rooted in the colonial period in its current interpretation refers to belonging to the umma, a global nation imagined as the basis for a new identity which, instead of relating to a territory, follows the thread of networks beyond borders. Youths who have chosen the path of jihad thus turn state territories into a cross-border space that is deterritorialized and denationalized.

  Research Residential Program at Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies

  Fung Global Fellows Program “International Society: Institutions and Actors in Global Governance”

  Princeton University is pleased to announce the call for applications to the Fung Global Fellows Program at the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS).  Each year the program selects six scholars from around the world to be in residence at Princeton for an academic year and to engage in research and discussion around a common theme. During the academic year 2016/17, the theme for the Fung Global Fellows Program will be “International Society: Institutions and Actors in Global Governance.” The growth of international organizations and transnational actors has brought about the emergence of a dense international society above the nation-state. Under what circumstances do new international organizations or transnational associations emerge, and when do they expand in their membership and jurisdiction? Does international society function as a constraint on states? How do states and societal actors navigate the complex and overlapping jurisdictions of international organizations? In what ways do international organizations and associations function as distinct cultures or as bureaucracies with their own interests?

  Can we compare the “Color Revolutions” and the “Arab Springs”?

  Democratic Dynamics, Institutional Changes, Transnational Movements and International Relations

  The conference will explore the revolutionary processes and the (more or less successful) democratic dynamics underway within Eastern Europe and the Arab world, in order to demonstrate how plural societies emerge through protest against authoritarian States. It will also question, by using a multidisciplinary approach, the reality of the interaction between democratization and international relations.

  The African Diaspora and Political Engagement

  Migrant Voting Behavior

  Studies devoted to the relationship of immigrants to politics have gradually started to unearth unheeded, even unknown swaths of political practices and know-how. Attesting to the prominence of the assimilationist model in migration studies, such studies have long focused exclusively on the political integration of migrants within their countries of residence. The recent diffusion of the transnational paradigm across the social sciences has helped to revitalize this approach. This shift has allowed researchers specialized in migration studies to break free from methodological nationalism and thus pave the way for an investigation of migrant participation in political life in both their countries of residence and countries of origin.
