Research in local and regional development in Quebec - is it worth it?
Association francophone pour le savoir - 86th congress
À la convergence des approches américaines et françaises, la recherche en développement régional et local a, au Québec, une histoire qui remonte loin. Mais son environnement s’est profondément modifié récemment, à tel titre qu’on peut se demander quelles sont les voies qu’elle devrait prendre pour conserver sa pertinence. Cette table-ronde veut offrir une occasion de rencontre et de discussion pour faire le point sur la situation, identifier les difficultés et les enjeux et indiquer des pistes futures que pourrait prendre la recherche.

African diasporas in Canada: figures in the shadows and their role in international cooperattion
L'objectif de ce colloque est de faire un état des lieux des initiatives de coopération internationale des diasporas africaines établies au Canada en vue de montrer les acteurs-clefs, les domaines d'intervention et les stratégies de financement et de mise en œuvre des actions pour le développement des pays africains. Le colloque se donne donc pour objectif de discuter d’enjeux insuffisamment abordés dans le champ de la coopération internationale, à savoir les diasporas africaines comme actrices de développement international dans leurs pays d’origine.

Immigration in the Electoral Rhetoric of the Americas
While immigration has always been an important issue in the election debates, the current centrality of this topic invite us to question its rhetoric power (evocative terms, objectives pursued, instrumental efficiency…). Beyond the political scenes of Canada and United States (main arenas), will also be considered critical readings of electoral experiences in the Latin-American political world. This workshop will aim to shed the light on this matter in order to question (through politics, sociology, economics, law, history…) the reminiscence of what seems to be a modern form of identity resurgence in a specific framework: the electoral arena campaign, a real national trajectory catalyst.

Nine years and counting: Stephen Harper and the new Canada
Canadian Studies Review n°78 (June 2015)
This special issue of Etudes Canadiennes/Canadian Studies intends to explore what’s new in Canada, nine years after the coming to power of the Conservatives, four years after Stephen Harper won the election that gave him a majority government, and at a time when Canada is getting ready for the next federal election. While the contributions are expected to focus on the Conservative initiatives to shape this new Canada, they will also be encouraged to compare them with other societal and global factors that may contribute to a changing Canada.

Employers' organisations and other collective organisations (19th-20th centuries)
Ce colloque international est le troisième d'un programme pluridisciplinaire et international de recherche sur les organisations patronales en Europe aux XIXe et XXe siècles. Après avoir abordé la Genèse des organisations patronales (2011), puis les Formes et moyens d'action des organisations patronales dans la sphère publique (2012), il s'agira cette année d'étudier les rapports de diverses natures que les organisations patronales entretiennent avec d'autres organisations, en particulier : les syndicats de salariés ; les partis politiques ; les clubs de réflexion et les think tanks ; les autres associations patronales et les chambres de commerce ; les divers organismes patronaux.

A Political History of Public Debts (Europe and the United States, since the Late Eighteenth Century)
This is call for papers for a symposium to be held in Paris in June 2013. Its main theme is a political history of public debts since the end of the eighteenth century. Organized as a workshop, this symposium aims to explore the public debt as the locus for political debates and conflicts. Our goal is to bring together various case studies, using different approaches, but all analyzing aspects of the link between politics (especially in its social or participative dimensions) and the indebtedness of states. This should help shed new light on such central concepts for our understanding of the modern political world as sovereignty, citizenship, democracy, and solidarity.
