  Dialogues about contemporary Brazil

  APEB-Fr conference 2017

  Depuis 2013, le Brésil vit une importante crise politique. Nous avons assisté à l’éclatement de plusieurs manifestations dans le pays. Des milliers de personnes sont descendues dans les rues, munies de revendications diverses et portant différents drapeaux, ce qui témoignait du mécontentement généralisé de la population vis-à-vis de la politique et de la gestion publique. Le colloque Dialogues sur le Brésil contemporain se configure ainsi comme un espace de réflexion dans l’objectif d’élargir les perspectives sur le contexte brésilien actuel.

  Contemporary crisis and changes

  Geoeconomical and geopolitical approaches

  For several years, the world seems to have entered a period of high instability. Economically, the "subprime mortgage crisis" appeared in 2007 in the USA, then spread planet wide in all areas of activity. In 2015, economic difficulties persist (growth stagnation in developed countries and lower growth in emerging markets, explosion of unemployment, deindustrialisation and offshoring, market tensions in China, the euro zone, etc.). In geopolitical terms, tension spots have also multiplied (Saharian and Sahelian Africa, Middle East, Far East and Eastern Europe) leading to strong migratory waves while power poles seem to be redeploying between the USA, China and other regional powers.The aim of the conference "Contemporary Crisis and changes" is to question these contemporary upheavals through both a geo-economic and a geopolitical reading. The conference will provide elements of analysis and compare them especially with contemporary representations of globalisation emphasizing in particular the logic of closure that seems to characterize this phenomenon.
