  Contemporary crisis and changes

  Geoeconomical and geopolitical approaches

  For several years, the world seems to have entered a period of high instability. Economically, the "subprime mortgage crisis" appeared in 2007 in the USA, then spread planet wide in all areas of activity. In 2015, economic difficulties persist (growth stagnation in developed countries and lower growth in emerging markets, explosion of unemployment, deindustrialisation and offshoring, market tensions in China, the euro zone, etc.). In geopolitical terms, tension spots have also multiplied (Saharian and Sahelian Africa, Middle East, Far East and Eastern Europe) leading to strong migratory waves while power poles seem to be redeploying between the USA, China and other regional powers.The aim of the conference "Contemporary Crisis and changes" is to question these contemporary upheavals through both a geo-economic and a geopolitical reading. The conference will provide elements of analysis and compare them especially with contemporary representations of globalisation emphasizing in particular the logic of closure that seems to characterize this phenomenon.

  Sociologie historique et géographie critique dans l’étude des relations internationales

  Appel de communications pour un colloque offrant un forum et un espace de dialogue aux approches que sont la sociologie historique et la géographie/géopolitique critique, deux savoirs sensibles à l’histoire dans l’étude de l’international. Les travaux rassemblés par ce colloque analyseront ainsi l’organisation spatiale des relations sociales de pouvoir dans l’international en interrogeant les formes historiques et contemporaines des discours géopolitiques qui décrivent l’espace mondial. Ils examineront en outre les représentations, les images et les cultures qui donnent une signification aux relations sociales et politiques du champ de l’international.
