  Global Justice and New international Ordrer: The Case of Sino-african Relationships

  The reconfiguration of the current world order within the contemporary international society constitutes the general framework of our reflection. Emerging countries such as Brazil, Russia, India and China aim to weigh on the course of history and to re-shape a balance of powers dating back to the end of the twentieth century. These countries intensify their external policies towards strategic areas rich in raw materials, especially in Africa, where Western nations also have interests. The persistence of global poverty, according to Pogge, refers to global justice, since this phenomenon results from a world order that structurally endorse an injustice which, furthermore, is not in line with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

  Security issues relating to desert environments

  Averroès issue 7 - the journal of the Arab world

  La revue Averroès est une revue en ligne de jeunes chercheurs spécialisée sur le monde arabe. Le Sahara, les déserts du Sahel et du Sinaï, sont autant d’exemples d’étendues mobiles, fébrilement animées par les flux mouvants qui les traversent. C’est à l’aune d’une diplomatie des sables troublée par l’enracinement croissant de menaces à l’intégrité des États qui les partagent, que la revue souhaite consacrer son prochain numéro aux « enjeux sécuritaires propres aux milieux désertiques ».

  Experts and expertise in the mandates and of the society of nations

  Figures, fields and tools

  Our vantage point is to consider the growing in importance of expertise during the twentieth century within the management of the colonial world and hence to study the emergence of the international sphere as a level of decision making. The purpose of this conference is to investigate the influence of early international agendas, advanced across the colonial world by experts operating in the orbit of international organizations. The investigation should also focus on the procedures and framework of international recognition of expertise at the intersection of the colonial and the international spheres. A first line of enquiry tackles the relations between the epistemologies that underpinned scientific knowledge in the colony and the metropolis. Another one looks into the sites of production of Mandatory expertise. Finally, we want to investigate the explicitly evolutionary conceptual framework for the mandates and its influence on the work of experts. We invite contributions dealing with the figure of the expert, whether official or not, and the various fields and tools of Mandatory expertise. Part and parcel of our reflexion is also a study of the limits and scope of expertise.

  Civil mobilisations against politics

  A contemporary approach to the political changes and instability in Africa and the Middle East

  Le présent ouvrage entend s’inspirer de la crise ivoirienne et des soulèvements observés dans le monde arabo musulman pour, d’une part, évaluer les trajectoires politiques de l’Afrique et du Moyen-Orient dans leurs rapports avec l’Occident et la communauté internationale et décrypter, d’autre part, les formes nouvelles d’énonciation du politique dans un environnement où les médias et les réseaux sociaux constituent des outils de mobilisation politique. Les contributions attendues avant le 06 mai 2011 pourront par ailleurs questionner les stratégies d’action politique des populations accablées par des régimes hostiles à l’alternance politique et à la redistribution des richesses nationales également convoitées par des puissances occidentales.
