Tourism in troubled times

Responsibility, resistance and resurgence in the Asia Pacific

The Asia Pacific region more broadly also finds itself living in troubled times. Environmental issues such as climate change, pollution and resource scarcity continue to clash with visions and ideologies for economic prosperity, while social and political issues such as economic disparity, human right abuses and geopolitical conflicts persist and take on new forms. Within this context, unbridled tourism growth in the Asia Pacific region is on the rise as governmental and private industry initiatives endeavor to combat issues of poverty, gender inequality, rural revitalization, post-disaster recovery, and sustainable development goals through sustained tourism growth.

Beirut

Call for papers - Political studies

How Economics matter

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?

Conference, symposium - History

Exploring time in the Lebanon and Near-East

On assiste depuis deux décennies à un regain d’intérêt des sciences sociales pour la question du temps et des temporalités. Le monde arabe et musulman n’a toutefois suscité que peu de réflexions en ce sens. Pourtant, l’historiographie sur le temps, qui puise essentiellement dans l’expérience occidentale (centralité du christianisme, de la culture marchande du Moyen Âge puis de la Révolution industrielle…), doit sans doute être révisée et ajustée à la réalité du terrain proche-oriental. L’objet de ce colloque est d’explorer la question du temps, dans ses dimensions concrètes et abstraites, au Liban et au Proche-Orient, afin d’en restituer les spécificités et de mettre au jour les mécanismes sociaux, les déterminants qui ont fait évoluer, sur le long terme, cette notion complexe dans la région.
