  Mediating conflicts between groups with different worldviews

  Approaches and methods

  In recent decades, more and more violent conflicts have a religious or cultural dimension and take place between groups adhering to different religious or secular visions of the state and society. When groups with different worldviews are required to share the same (social, political, virtual, economic, or military) space, this can lead to tensions and give rise to violence—ranging from offensive language to physical attacks and open warfare.

  Transnational dimensions of dealing with the past in ‘Third Wave’ democracies

  Southern Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and the Former Soviet Union in Global Perspective

  This conference aims to fill the gap by looking at how post-dictatorial justice and memory experiences in Southern Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union after the “third wave of democratization” have reciprocally affected each other. It also seeks to unpack how memorialization practices in these regions were shaped by and influenced in turn criminalization discourses in other geographical contexts (Latin America, Asia, Africa). The conference focuses on transnational activism, transfers of knowledge, and expertise at bilateral, regional or international levels, the impact of legal and mnemonic narratives outside their countries of origin, and the role of international organizations and NGO's in dealing with mass violence. The conference aims thus to trace the mutlidirectional circulation of ideas, norms and models of reckoning with authoritarian regimes both within these regions, and between them and other areas of the world.

  South Asian Culture "à la barre"

  Word of experts in transnational case-law

  « South Asian Culture à la barre » est la première réunion d’une section du projet ANR « JUST-INDIA » (http://www.just-india.net) consacrée aux conflits de droit dans les cas judiciaires transnationaux. Les participants à la journée examineront comment les tribunaux de différents pays s’approprient la notion de culture lorsqu’ils sont amenés à se prononcer dans des cas impliquant des ressortissants d’Asie du Sud, et quel est le rôle de cette notion dans les procédures judiciaires correspondantes. Les exposés et les discussions seront en anglais.
