  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.

  Common Experiences, Common Desires ? Tracing an Intellectual History between China and Africa

  Conférence ANR Espaces de la culture chinoise en Afrique (EsCA)

  In his 1954 presentation to dignitaries from across Asia and Africa, Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai acknowledged the differences between the two cultural spheres; nevertheless, Zhou stressed, a more important factor in all future relations should be the “common experiences and desires” of people from across the two continents to create a new world from the ashes of war and colonialism. Building on Zhou’s insight into commonalities of experience, this presentation will trace the cultural intersections that have existed between China and African since the 1920s.

  The Chinese Presence in Algeria

  Maghrebian and African Prospects

  Ce workshop, qui a un caractère exploratoire, tentera d'évaluer notre connaissance actuelle des activités chinoises en Algérie puis, par comparaison avec ce qui se passe ailleurs en Afrique, cherchera à mieux spécifier les rapports sino-algériens. La réflexion proposée s’articulera autour de trois axes thématiques principaux : 1. état des relations sino-algériennes ; 2. stratégies chinoises d’implantation et leur impact sur l’économie et la société hôte en particulier par comparaison aux autres expériences au Maghreb et en Afrique sub-saharienne ; 3. défis institutionnels, géopolitiques, commerciaux et technologiques générés par l’émergence de la Chine, tant pour les pays occidentaux que ceux en développement.
