  The Caribbean against the Covid19: A global crisis and local solutions

  "Études caribéennes" Journal #48

  Officially affected by the COVID19 pandemic in early March 2020, the Caribbean Basin is concerned about the fragility of its social fabric and the wide disparities in public health policies from one State to another, which make a comprehensive response at the regional level impossible. The situation worsened at the end of May with the withdrawal of US funding to the World Health Organization (WHO), finally condemning the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), an emblematic figure in the fight against epidemics in the islands and on the continent, to a drastic reduction in its interventions, or even its disappearance. In this way, this issue seeks to respond to various concerns about the regional impact of the pandemic, around the central issue: to what extent the economic, political and/or social impact hovers around unresolved points in the construction of Caribbean Nation-States that prevent them from facing the crisis.

  Iberian radical left, revolutionary process and democratic transition – rupture and consensus

  Comparative perspectives

  An ideological prejudice and a kind of tacit normativity have historically devalued the role played by radical leftists in the transition processes. This colloquium intends to be a contribution to the restoration of this balance.

  Coopérants et coopération en Afrique : circulations et transferts culturels (de 1950 à nos jours)

  Aux lendemains des indépendances en Afrique, d’intenses circulations de personnels aux compétences variées perdurent entre anciennes métropoles et colonies et les coopérants en sont des figures majeures. Si la sociologie et les sciences politiques se sont déjà penchées sur le cadre institutionnel, les figures et les pratiques des coopérants, l'histoire permet d’examiner à nouveaux frais cette question, en mobilisant les outils de l'historiographie transnationale et de la sociologie de la circulation des idées et en insistant sur les interactions, les médiations et les hybridations culturelles coproduites par cette rencontre entre coopérants et partenaires ou sociétés des pays d’accueil. Ce colloque examinera le sens et les discours de légitimation des trajectoires en coopération, à travers des portraits de groupes ; il analysera, sur le terrain, les interactions et les transferts entre acteurs mais aussi les circulations et reformulations des pratiques et des savoirs. Enfin dans une perspective comparative, il envisagera la coopération venu de « l'Est ».
