  The will for independence and its expression across territories

  Le thème de l’édition 2018 des journées géopolitiques de Reims (JGR), les « Sécessions », s’inscrit dans l’actualité. Le référendum écossais en 2014 et la situation en Catalogne fin 2017 soulignent l’importance du sujet dans l’Europe contemporaine (mais aussi en France où la nouvelle Calédonie votera une dizaine de jours avant la tenu de ces JGR). Hors d’Europe, la question des sécessions est sensible au Kurdistan (référendum de septembre 2017), sur l’île de Bougainville, à Mindanao, etc. Ainsi, la volonté d’indépendance s’exprime dans de nombreux territoires. Les intervenants souligneront ce paradoxe dans un contexte de mondialisation.

  Crises and change today

  Geo-economic and geo-political approaches

  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.

  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.
