  Research Residential Program at Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies

  Fung Global Fellows Program “International Society: Institutions and Actors in Global Governance”

  Princeton University is pleased to announce the call for applications to the Fung Global Fellows Program at the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS).  Each year the program selects six scholars from around the world to be in residence at Princeton for an academic year and to engage in research and discussion around a common theme. During the academic year 2016/17, the theme for the Fung Global Fellows Program will be “International Society: Institutions and Actors in Global Governance.” The growth of international organizations and transnational actors has brought about the emergence of a dense international society above the nation-state. Under what circumstances do new international organizations or transnational associations emerge, and when do they expand in their membership and jurisdiction? Does international society function as a constraint on states? How do states and societal actors navigate the complex and overlapping jurisdictions of international organizations? In what ways do international organizations and associations function as distinct cultures or as bureaucracies with their own interests?

  Capitalisme et démocratie sont-ils compatibles ?

  Nous assistons depuis quelques années à un retour en force de l’économie politique et d’enjeux socio-économiques quelque peu éclipsés, depuis la chute du communisme, par les revendications identitaires et post-matérialistes. Comment penser le lien entre ce renouveau et la réflexion plus large sur la démocratie qui se poursuit depuis plusieurs décennies ? Une partie de la pensée libérale présente le capitalisme et la démocratie, longtemps tenus par la théorie critique et le marxisme pour antinomiques, comme des réalités complémentaires. Y a-t-il lieu de confirmer cet optimisme libéral ou faut-il plutôt réintroduire une nouvelle analyse de la lutte des classes, ou du moins marquer la tension qui rend difficile et instable la coexistence du capitalisme et de la démocratie ? C’est la question centrale qu’entend poser ce colloque, avec la volonté d’explorer les diverses réponses possibles, sans exclusive.

  Questioning Spaces of Citizenship in Latin America and the Caribbean

  Latin American History Graduate Student Conference

  Scholars often invoke citizenship as an analytic frame to understand the history of Latin America and the Caribbean. While the concept can encompass a broad range of topics, this conference will focus on the spaces where individuals and groups come into contact with the institutions and symbols of the state. These spaces may be physical places, institutional settings, discursive realms, or other fora. In this graduate student conference, we will ask how such spaces of citizenship are constructed, delimited, and at times rejected, and how the terms of interaction and negotiation in these spaces are defined and re-defined.
