  Politics and territories in education and training

  Stakes, debates and perspectives

  Le colloque a pour objectif de réfléchir aux rapports entre les politiques d’éducation et de formation et les territoires à partir de trois axes : 1) la mise en œuvre et la réception des politiques dans les territoires ; 2) le questionnement portant sur le changement de nom de la section « sciences de l’éducation » en « sciences de l’éducation et de la formation » et enfin 3) le territoire compris comme un ensemble structuré d’espaces de cheminement. Les trois axes sont ouverts aux réflexions philosophiques, épistémologiques, éducatives, communicationnelles et socio-politiques sur la manière d’aborder les liens entre politiques et territoires, entre éducation et formation.

  Social Rights and Democracy

  Prim@ Facie, Vol 15, No 29 (2016)

  We are especially interested in manuscripts on social rights and democracy. Our intent is to prepare a set of discussions on how democracies promote social rights today, i.e., to what extent social movements, legal institutions, parliaments and executive power are able to find solutions to the challenges of democracies today? Have, for example, affirmative action, housing and health care programs, and even direct financial assistance to the poor actually reduced inequality? In addition, what are the most effective solutions for poverty? Are courts the best way to ensure social rights today? We are also interested in papers that address the costs of social programs. These are some of the possibilities, but many other questions may be brought to the table. We encourage submissions based on historical approaches carried out by jurists, political scientists, historians, sociologists, and other professionals in fields that have particular focus on legal problems.

  Crisis, Idea and Policy Transformation

  Experts and Expertise in European International Organizations, 1973-1987

  Crisis and crisis experience were central to Western European history between the first oil crisis of 1973 and the creation of the Single European Act. European international organizations (IOs) such as the OECD or the EC played a crucial role in debating and addressing manifold dimensions of crisis, shifting discourses and transforming policies at national and European level. These IOs drew heavily on experts and their expertise in debating and managing crisis and seeking solutions for structural problems. Organized jointly by the University of Portsmouth and Maastricht University on 30-31 January 2014, the workshop will investigate who were the experts active within IOs and what type or form of expertise they had and draw upon in agenda-setting, policy deliberation and decision-making. It will also discuss the role of experts in policy-making in the respective IOs and their influence on the development of the policy area concerned.
