Confessionalism and nationalism in Syria since 2011
Après huit années de conflit, le processus de fragmentation de la société syrienne sur des bases notamment confessionnelles est aujourd’hui bien entamée. Enclenché et instrumentalisé en premier lieu par les autorités de Damas, puis par les groupes armés jihadistes, elle s’accompagne de politiques d’enrôlement des acteurs en fonction de leurs appartenances religieuses et/ou ethnique. Dans ce contexte, que sont devenus les concepts d’« identité nationale » et de « nation syrienne » ? Comment s’articulent-ils à d’autres formes de solidarités qu’elles soient familiales, régionales et confessionnelles ? Comment les individus réagissent-ils à ce processus d’assignation politico-religieux qui les convoque jusque dans leur intimité : leurs façons de s’habiller, de penser, de prier, d’interagir ? Comment malgré les ruptures, les identités se reconfigurent-elles en exil ?

L'an V des Révolutions au prisme de l'économique et du social
This colloquium, organized in Beirut as part of the WAFAW program, aims to critically take part in a debate over the socio-economic undergrounds of the “political crises” in the region, a scarcely explored angle when dealing with this issue. It will base its contribution on investigations and original corpuses. Its purpose is to better understand how the Arab, Iranian, Turkish and other political societies observed are workedby highly singular processes (such as the importance of oil, of migration economy, or of war economies) but also amenable to an unequal globalization of exchanges. How (and not why) does the economy play into these political dynamics?

Contested Hybrid Democracy: Endorsing or Revisiting the Liberal Model in non-Western Countries
IPSA Istanbul 2016
Democracy has become a worldwide reference in terms of political organization and governance. While the universal character claimed by such a model has largely been theorized from a Western point of view, the variety of uses and appropriations from non-Western countries, including emerging States, remains unexamined. Disappointed with the results brought by the transition paradigm, the hybrid regimes literature tends to assess the unequal reception of the democratic model in non-Western countries. Nevertheless, the hybrid regimes analytical frame does not exhaust the question of the inner workings of these regimes, since its scientific referential remains based on Western theories and focuses on the uncompleted democratization processes and dynamics. This panel aims at switching the analytical frame towards the reception of the democratic model in non-Western countries through an assessment of uses and reappropriations of this model by political and social actors. Non-Western countries represent an interesting reflection ground for testing appropriation-reject dialectics regarding the Western democratic model. While this model directly inspires some of these countries (India, South Africa or Turkey), it has been rejected by other countries (China and Russia). Are there emerging models of democracy or counter-democracy models in non-Western countries ? We shall address these questions related to the unequal reception of the democratic model in non-Western countries.
