Call for papers - History

Debt, Democracy, Citizenship

A Political History of Public Debts (Europe and the United States, since the Late Eighteenth Century)

This is call for papers for a symposium to be held in Paris in June 2013. Its main theme is a political history of public debts since the end of the eighteenth century. Organized as a workshop, this symposium aims to explore the public debt as the locus for political debates and conflicts. Our goal is to bring together various case studies, using different approaches, but all analyzing aspects of the link between politics (especially in its social or participative dimensions) and the indebtedness of states. This should help shed new light on such central concepts for our understanding of the modern political world as sovereignty, citizenship, democracy, and solidarity.

Contested Democracy:

Contestation and Participation in the English-speaking World

The dissent and uprisings that spread through the Arab world during the Spring of 2011 occurred almost a quarter of a century after the fall of East European political régimes that saw the rise of "democracy" modeled on the Anglo-American representative system. This specific context which has come to characterize the past quarter of century calls for a renewed analysis of the models these political systems represent and of the processes that triggered them and led to their long-term establishment in the UK and the US.Since the 1990s, as a response to the story of the inevitable emergence of democracy in the aftermath of the Cold War, researchers on North American politics have provided an alternative reading of events: that of a "contested democracy".

370 of governance in Montreal

Est-ce que la ville de Montréal est cliniquement morte comme l'affirmait récemment Jean-Paul L'Allier (Le Devoir, 13 février 2012) ? Venez le découvrir dans le cadre d'une journée d'étude consacrée aux dernières 370 années de gouvernance montréalaise. L'histoire politique et administrative des villes connaît depuis quelques années un renouveau sans précédent. Au Canada, Montréal est l'un des terrains d'enquête privilégiés par les chercheurs. À l'occasion du 370e anniversaire de la fondation de Ville-Marie, nous proposons de faire le point sur la gouvernance de l'agglomération montréalaise en mettant l'accent sur les acteurs qui détiennent ou influencent le pouvoir et sur l'exercice de ce pouvoir pour résoudre les enjeux auxquels sont confrontés les Montréalais à différentes époques de l'histoire de la ville.
