    Interest groups in post-socialist Central Europe

    A comparative analysis of historical, political, economic and cultural changes

    In 2024, Ukraine adopted a law on lobbying in order to meet the requirements of the European Union as part of its accession process, which aims in particular to promote a culture of transparent lobbying. These rapidly evolving practices in Central Europe are at the heart of renewed research into the various links between political and administrative actors and private actors: what is the current state of knowledge?

    Working Group on ‘Risk, Health, and State Socialism: Central and Eastern Europe, 1950s-1980s’

    While much of this historiography has focused on liberal democracies, less attention has been given to how concepts of risk operated in state socialist contexts. Building on recent studies in the history of medicine and health, we invite scholars to join a working group examining risk, health, and medicine under state socialism in Central and Eastern Europe. To what extent did state socialist regimes recognize certain health and medical issues as ‘governable’ through risk? What kinds of practices and ideas emerged in response? And were there differences or similarities between state socialist and liberal democratic models of risk in healthcare and medicine? Our aim is to take an exploratory approach to discuss whether, and in what contexts, the concept of risk can be applied to state socialism, and to examine the risk-related practices, ideas, and technologies observed in healthcare and medicine in state socialism.

    Energy transitions and economic thinking in German-speaking territories, 1800-2000

    ETRANHET explores how economic ideas on energy have developed in various market-economy contexts around the world, since the first waves of industrialization at the turn of the 19th century. It particularly addresses three key questions: (1) How did past economists (broadly defined) conceive the connection between energy, growth, and development? (2) How did they consider innovation and technological change in energy affairs? (3) How did economic discourse on energy influence policymaking, and vice versa? Areas covered by the project include Continental Europe, the British Isles, North and Latin America, South-East Asia, and some areas under colonial control. This workshop will be an opportunity to look more closely at German-speaking territories within Continental Europe.

    Labor and its Measurements in Imperial Context and Legacies

    Plusieurs communications et une table ronde seront consacrées aux différentes formes et à la mesure du travail à l’échelle des empires, retenant pour l’essentiel les empires coloniaux, mais sans exclure d’autres configurations. Ce colloque réunira des chercheurs plus ou moins avancés dans la recherche, issus de différents continents, pour s’interroger collectivement à la fois sur les différentes façons d’évaluer, de rémunérer et de comptabiliser l’activité productive, et sur les manières de mobiliser, compter, encadrer et classer les travailleurs. Les héritages des situations coloniales et de domination seront pris en compte pour aborder le sujet dans la longue période, des XVIIIe au XXIe siècle.

    Confronting the Crisis of Expertise: Historical Roots and Current Challenges

    In the post-Covid-19 world, the problems already experienced by democracies with regards to social divisions and diminishing trust in public institutions are exacerbated by a growing epistemic crisis concerning the simultaneous need and contestation of expertise for public policy purposes. The existence of uncertain statistical data, the search for past models in dealing with hidden enemies, the public attempts to translate scientific knowledge and to make sense of decision-making processes, all point to a persistent need for advanced skills for working with governance data and discourses.       Our course enhances participants’ skills in analyzing the incorporation of techno and scientific knowledge into public governance and discourses. The summer school seeks to provide the tools and categories to critically assess systemic responses in times of both contested expertise and scientificization of politics.

    Benelux: Europe and the Cold War

    The Power of non-powers and perspectives on the economic, social and political aspects of European Security Strategy in the early Cold War

    What are the historical roots of views of European defense and Europe's role in Western defence? How did the early European Integration movement perceive American involvement in the development of a common security strategy? This conference will investigate these and other related questions by re-examining the early cold war US/European relationship and the role that early Cold War period developments played in the European Integration Movement. In so doing, this conference will also showcase findings which can contribute to the unification of Cold War and European Integration historiographies.

    De la libération des corps à la libération des esprits, les idées de réformes en Russie et en Europe, XIXe–début XXIe siècle

    La conférence est dédiée au 150e anniversaire de l’abolition du servage en Russie

    Le milieu du XIXe siècle a vu, aux deux extrémités de l’Europe, la fin de pratiques contraignantes visant les individus eux-mêmes et leur liberté de mouvement, de libre disposition de leur personne sous la forme de l’esclavage dans les colonies européennes, du servage dans l’Empire russe. Cette réforme essentielle entre dans un processus visant à renforcer les libertés individuelles qui se fraie un chemin difficile au cours des XIX et XXe siècles. « De la libération des corps à la libération des esprits » vise à articuler les différents moments de ces mutations dans différents pays, dans différentes cultures, en fonction à la fois d’histoires nationales différentes et de problématiques qui se croisent, interfèrent les unes les autres, se renvoient des modèles, des représentations en miroir.

    La situation de l'économie russe après 6 années de croissance

    Problèmes et perspectives de moyen terme

    Les travaux de Victor Ivanter sur l'économie russe sont connus comme des références à l'échelle internationale. Alors que la Russie achève la sixième année consécutive marquée par une forte croissance la question de la trajectoire de croissance se pose aujourd'hui avec une acuité particulière. L'impact de l'effet de rente des matières premières sur l'économie risque d'affaiblir la dynamique qui s'était mise en place depuis la fin de 1998. Par ailleurs, l'économie russe s'est profondément transformée durant les six dernières années. Son degré d'intégration avec les économies européennes a fortement augmenté. Dans ces conditions, on ne saurait sous-estimer l'importance d'une évaluation de la situation actuelle, des problèmes qui se manifestent aujourd'hui, et des perspectives qui se dessinent alors qu'un débat s'ouvre sur la redéfinition de la politique économique de la Russie
