Back to the earth: thoughts, utopias and ecologies
Comparisons between Japan and Europe
Ce seminaire a pour objectif d’explorer et d’interroger les philosophies, les idées et les utopies sur lesquelles reposent les mouvements de retour à la terre dans leur dimension culturelle et historique au Japon et en Europe. Les conceptions de la nature et de la vie sont au cœur de ces pensées et des mouvements sociaux écologistes. C’est pourquoi ce seminaire abordera les pensées de la nature, la notion de vie dans la pensée européenne et japonaise, et comment ces notions prennent forme, circulent, sont adaptées et participent des transformations sociales.

The challenges of change for Eurasian legal and political systems
The growing importance of Asia in academic cooperation and in particular the need for restructuring and renovating the Central Asian systems has led in recent years Kazakh and Korean law-colleagues from al-Farabi University (Almaty, Kazakhstan) and InHa University (Inch'eon, Korea) to reflect with French colleagues on how to conduct joint research.

Eurasian perspectives
Research since the 1990s, has witnessed not only the relaunch and expansion of the European constructions (Maastricht 1991, enlargements of 1995, 2004, 2007, 2013) as well as its hesitations (Brexit 2016+) but also a number of Asian and Eurasian successful initiatives : the Shanghai process (1996 as a group, 2001 as an organisation of 6 members, recently enlarged to 8), the Eurasian process (customs union, economic community, today Eurasian Economic Union with 5 members), and a number of other initiatives, among which the CICA, the Silk road One-Belt-One-Road, not to mention security organisations such as the CSTO and also cooperative associations (ASEAN, SAARC, …). These have added to the landscape formed already by the NATO, the EU, the OSCE, the Council of Europe, etc. Such a « proliferation » of regional (and almost pan-regional) frameworks for cooperation should create a strong incentive to facilitate « exchanges » across borders.

Indonesian Exceptionalism: Values and Morals of the Middle Ground
‘Exceptionalism’ is a borrowed political term that implies that a country or entity is somehow special. Indonesia is not small. Indonesia is not poor in cultures, religions, society, or ethnic groups. Indonesia is not unimportant economically, regionally, or politically. Historically, Indonesia has always been an exceptional place. Indonesia as ‘imagined community’ continues to be an ongoing process. Various questions that can be raised include: What are relevant Indonesian values and morals for maintaining Indonesia’s competitiveness in the global world? What is religion’s contribution to forming agreed values and ethics? To what extent is there an Indonesian contribution in balancing Islamic values and democratic practices? How do religious values impact the ethics of state governance?

Conference, symposium - History
This conference is an international symposium that proposes to study the entire range of exchanges and relations established between these two areas during the Early Modern Times (1500-1820). Its main objective is to think about diplomatic, economic, religious and cultural links between Europe and the Middle East by calling upon over twenty researchers with specializations in the Arab, Persian and Muslim world. In addition, this conference will provide a comprehensive overview to date of the Arabian Gulf at a time of major political change, including the successive arrival of the European “trading empires”. It will focus on some of the methodological challenges raised by a global, connected and cross-cultural thinking approach to the History of the Middle East and Europe”.

Marmagao
Since 1998 the “Association des jeunes études indiennes” (AJEI) organizes an annual workshop in India with the support of international and local partners. This year, we propose a three-day event in Goa to debate the question of the “commons” in contemporary South-Asia. The workshop will be structured around different thematic sessions with the presentations of the works of the participants, a field visit and an open discussion on fieldwork methods. One of the main objective of the event is to give the opportunity to the participants to exchange on their works and their experience, to get feedbacks from senior researchers and to build relationships, reinforcing thus the strong international network of researchers on South Asia.

Freedom of expression and its judges - new issues, new perpectives?
Ce colloque n’entend pas reprendre les thèmes liés à l’histoire de la liberté d’expression et à ses dimensions théoriques. Prenant le terrain pour objet d’analyse, il doit permettre d’observer les effets du renouvellement des supports de la liberté d’expression en ce début de siècle pour envisager son traitement quotidien, au fil des espèces et des situations, par les pouvoirs publics. L’on devra ainsi s’interroger sur la mutation de la liberté d’expression dans ses rapports avec le droit et les institutions, avant de décortiquer la manière avec laquelle l’autorité étatique – administrative et juridictionnelle, en amont comme en aval – trace les contours de cette liberté, ses conditions d’exercice et ses limites. L’objectif de ce colloque est ainsi de questionner – dans une approche comparative ouverte sur différentes expériences nationales – les ambigüités de la liberté d’expression telle qu’elle apparaît dans les pratiques récentes des individus, des professionnels du droit et de la sécurité.

Can regions understand each other?
Europe and Asia: challenges and crisis-management
Further to the first Europe-Asia conferences exploring regional regime dynamics (France, 2004), policies of regional cooperation (Korea, 2005), interregional competition (France, 2012) and the limits of regional constructions (Kazakhstan, 2014), this 2016 edition will look at the reciprocal understanding of regions and how that is conducive to their capacity (or lack thereof) to monitor crises they undergo, both specific crises and interregional ones. Papers must address original research, in regional dynamics of Asia and Europe, since the end of the cold war and focus on one area among.

World political sciences conference, Istanbul 2016
Environ trois décennies après la vague de récupération des démocraties en Amérique latine, la région a connu une succession d'alternances politiques qui ont tiré bénéfices de la « Décennie dorée ». Celle-ci a engendré croissance et stabilité politique et a également entraîné à moyen terme une consolidation des ordres constitutionnels et démocratiques. Cependant, le phénomène du ralentissement économique a remis en exergue, dans de nombreux pays du continent, les disparités importantes dans la répartition de la richesse entraînant une forte insatisfaction citoyenne et le risque d'un retour à une période d'instabilité politique.

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.

70 ans après la seconde guerre mondiale
Ombres et lumières de la pensée japonaise d'après-guerre
Au lendemain de la seconde guerre mondiale, les intellectuels japonais reviennent sur la dérive impérialiste et réfléchissent sur les conditions d’une démocratie à reconstruire. Que reste-t-il aujourd’hui de ces débats ? Encore méconnus en Europe, ils glissent vers l’oubli au Japon. Pourtant, nombre de questions soulevées alors n’ont pas perdu de leur actualité. Des chercheurs japonais, coréens, suisses et français, discuteront des enjeux à relire ces auteurs aujourd’hui et entamerons une réflexion commune sur leur héritage par-delà les frontières.

Living, Consuming and Action in Glocal Palestine
More often than not, Palestine, characterised by conflict, is analysed through the sole lenses of its political or cultural idiosyncrasy. Yet, new ways of living, consuming and acting that are embedded in the global reality, have emerged in the previous years and remained understudied. This global dimension may be understood as an imposed and inescapable reality, yet it is also adopted, integrated, amended and applied to a local dimension, so as to create a purely Palestinian form of it.This event will gather mostly researchers and PhD students in social sciences specialised in Palestine but will also pursue a comparative approach by resorting to other cases in the Middle East, North Africa or Europe. The conference also aims at confronting various approaches at the crossroads between art and science, research and action; it will create the frame for a dialogue between social sciences and the works of artists, architects as well as the new actions and philosophy of citizen and activist societies.
