    Environmental Economics and Dynamics of Fair and Sustainable Development

    Challenges, Instruments and Perspectives

    Countries such as Morocco and Senegal have embarked on ambitious transitions through their national sustainable development strategies, but they face a funding gap that limits their adaptive capacity. At the same time, the traditional ecological knowledge of indigenous communities—rooted in centuries of experience in ecosystem management—represents a valuable heritage for developing resilience models tailored to local contexts. It is within this framework that an international congress will bring together researchers, experts, and local stakeholders to identify economic and financial tools capable of supporting a just and balanced transition for Africa.

    The International Forum On Democracy And Public Decision

    Que signifie encore la démocratie ? Une forme républicaine de l’État, une gouvernance représentative, une croyance en l’égalité politique ? Un processus décisionnel appuyé et revisité  par de garanties de respect des libertés individuelles ? Que saurait-on répondre à ceux qui affirment, décomplexés, que cela n’existe plus ? Qu’en réalité, sa pratique n’a jamais été à la hauteur des grands dessins des théoriciens les plus inspirés du bien commun ?

    Savoirs endogènes, territoires et durabilité

    African Journal of Social Responsibility and Sustainable Management - volume 3, issue 2, 2026

    Dans un contexte mondial caractérisé par la convergence de crises écologiques, sociales, sécuritaires et épistémiques, les territoires africains se trouvent confrontés à des choix déterminants quant à leurs trajectoires de développement et leurs modes de gouvernance. La valorisation et la réappropriation de ces savoirs endogènes s’imposent donc comme une réponse stratégique à ces défis, en offrant des alternatives ancrées dans les réalités locales et porteuses d’innovations adaptées.

    Economy of leftovers and recycling

    Social, political and environmental dynamics in the Global South

    Economies built around waste – rubbish, unsold goods, surplus, scrap, used materials – are becoming increasingly important in the Global South. This issue therefore aims to examine these forms of economic activity from three main perspectives: environmental, socio-economic and political. The objective is to bring together empirical and theoretical work that documents, compares and problematises these waste economies based on surveys conducted in Southern countries, while taking into account the circulation and cross-influences with Northern countries. These ‘waste products’ can take various forms, which the issue intends to consider in an open and pluralistic perspective.

    The Systemic Nature of Discrimination: Recognize, Understand, Intervene

    This symposium aims to examine the concept of systemic discrimination as a category of analysis that helps us understand the mechanisms and dynamics through which inequalities in treatment are reproduced and reinforced within institutions and social structures. Beyond examining individual or intentional discrimination, the aim is to understand how norms, practices, systems, and rationales can have discriminatory effects, even unintentionally, in various sectors, including health, higher education, housing, and employment.

    Gender and Feminist Perspectives in Southeast Asia

    Thematic issue, Moussons No. 49

    This issue of Moussons invites a collective examination of gender relations, feminist mobilisations, and policies promoting the rights of women and gender minorities in Southeast Asia, by exploring their translations, tensions, and effects across different scales. This issue aims to contribute to a situated and decolonial reading of gender policies in Southeast Asia, with a particular focus on interactions between global dynamics and local configurations, between normative institutions and collective mobilisations, and between colonial legacies and contemporary transformations. It seeks to foreground the plurality of feminist and gender-minority voices and epistemologies in the region, by supporting the translation and circulation of work produced in Southeast Asian vernacular languages into French or English, in order to foster an inclusive intellectual dialogue.

    Transformations in political activities and careers in light of legal regulation and related instruments

    Journal L'Année sociologique - special issue

    Over the past thirty years, most European countries have adopted legislation designed to regulate political activities and the boundaries of professional politics. These laws have been introduced in response to societal demands, a lack of trust in representatives and institutions, and ’political crises’ and ’scandals’ involving elected officials. These laws and instruments contribute to the formation and governance of a group of political professionals. For example, instruments have been developed to support the ethical transformation of political spaces and the definition of good practices.

    A comparative analysis of historical, political, economic and cultural changes

    In 2024, Ukraine adopted a law on lobbying in order to meet the requirements of the European Union as part of its accession process, which aims in particular to promote a culture of transparent lobbying. These rapidly evolving practices in Central Europe are at the heart of renewed research into the various links between political and administrative actors and private actors: what is the current state of knowledge?

    Market gardening and fruit trees in urban and peri-urban areas

    Socio-environmental issues and planning challenges

    The evolution of market gardening and fruit trees is a rapidly expanding field of research, hence the need for in-depth studies to identify and maximize their positive impacts in disparate urban contexts (geographical and climatic) marked by often difficult conditions and particularly strong competition between different possible uses of resources. They play an essential socio-cultural role by reflecting important heritage, symbolic, and identity values. Finally, they bring local communities together around participatory and innovative projects involving citizens, public decision-makers, associations, and researchers.

    Trump and Borders: assessing the first year of his second term in the White House

    Les organisateurs de ce colloque souhaitent dresser le bilan de la première année du second mandat du Président républicain, sous l’angle des frontières et des enjeux qui s’y rapportent. Que ce soient les frontières qu’il souhaite renforcer, celles qu’il ambitionne de redessiner ou bien encore celles qu’il veut redéfinir, il nous a semblé que cette thématique représentait un prisme d’analyse pertinent pour mieux comprendre la politique de Donald Trump et les forces qui la structurent.

    From gardening to landscaping, from La Quintinie to tomorrow.

    The transition from gardening to spatial design or planning, and vice versa, is a common issue in gardens and large parks, both historic and contemporary. The aim of this symposium is to bring together gardeners, historians, geographers, landscape architects, urban planners and other disciplines concerned with the art of gardening and landscape design, to examine and explore this transition between gardening and landscape. The 400th anniversary of the birth of Jean de La Quintinie (March 1st, 1626), designer and first gardener of the Potager du Roi, and the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Ecole nationale supérieure de paysage at the Potager du Roi (October 15th 1976) serve as catalysts.

    Contemporary forms of money

    Revue « Anthropologie et développement »

    Depuis une quinzaine d’années, de nouvelles formes monétaires, en particulier numériques, structurent les agendas développementalistes : finance verte, paiement mobile, transferts conditionnés d’argent, crypto monnaies ou monnaie numérique de banque centrale. Si l’Afrique a longtemps été l’épicentre de la numérisation monétaire, l’Asie et l’Amérique latine ont expérimenté une croissance forte de ces modalités de paiement lors des dernières années. Ce numéro vise à étudier, à partir de données qualitatives, les logiques de gestion, de circulation et d’appropriation de ces nouvelles formes monétaires qui servent des projets divers (individuels, associatifs, politiques publiques), impliquent des acteurs extrêmement hétérogènes et s’insèrent dans des contextes où elles cohabitent avec des dynamiques anciennes.
