  Europe and the paths of solidarity - population movements in Central and Eastern Europe in the 20th century

  Mouvements de populations en Europe centrale et orientale au XXème siècle

  En donnant la parole aux historiens, la table ronde vise à faire la lumière sur les différentes formes de solidarité, émergées dans le contexte des mouvements de populations au XXème siècle dans la région de l’Europe centrale et orientale sur le plan communautaire, étatique et international. À partir d’études de cas précis, il s’agira dans le cadre de cette table ronde d’allier analyse historique à l’étude empirique du contemporain. Comment ces expériences, souvent étroitement liées à leurs contextes particuliers et à leurs cadres régionaux, peuvent-elles être observées aujourd’hui et servir de ressources pour l’étude plus générale de la question des migrations ?

  Austria and Hungary in the period 1866-1918

  An exceptional contribution to the legal protection of human rights

  En 2016-2017 l’Autriche et la Hongrie fêtent le 150^e anniversaire du compromis constitutionnel de 1866-67. La Constitution adoptée à l’époque a créé un cadre pour un développement rapide de la monarchie constitutionnelle et la construction de l’État de droit. Les premières cours modernes pour la protection des droits fondamentaux (Reichsgericht, Verwaltungsgerichtshof) ont été créées. Vienne et Budapest se sont alors retrouvées dans une situation exceptionnelle. Pour rendre hommage à tous ceux qui ont contribué à cet essor exceptionnel du droit moderne, il est proposé d’organiser un colloque pluridisciplinaire (droit public, histoire du droit, théorie du droit, droit comparé, droits de l’Homme) à Strasbourg.

  Acts of justice, public events: World War II criminals on trial

  The conference suggests approaching trials of war crimes and of crimes against humanity, which took place in the aftermath of World War II and its following decades, as specific social events. By including professional and social actors (magistrates and police force, whistle-blowers, witnesses, defendants...) who got involved and shaped audiences of such trials, the conference endeavours to question the notion of publicization. It will cross this perspective with a study of the part played by the media supports in the organization and in the public reception of these trials.

  Populisms in Central and Eastern Europe in the 20th Century

  Since the 1990s, several political movements qualified as “populist” have emerged in Central and Eastern Europe, drawing the attention of political scientists. If we want to understand why these movements exercise such attraction and why they are so relentless in this space, it is necessary to cross the study of current politics with the analysis of long term developments.

  Referendums and the European democratic ideal

  There has most definitely been a renewed interest in referendums in Europe. Over time, some countries such as Switzerland have fully integrated this form of popular ballot into their political practises while others, having scarcely used them in the past, are turning to them more and more. Given that the absolute purity of referendums contrasts sharply with the imperfections of representative democracy, they are often considered to be the impassable horizon of the democratic ideal. In this sense, they can be considered to be the essential expression of democratic will. Yet referendums are more frequently referred to in political discourse than they are actually put into use.
