Pour une approche plurielle de l’économie de guerre
Cahiers de Sociologie Edonomique et Culturelle
Le terme d’économie de guerre désigne un fonctionnement anormal de l’économie suite à une catastrophe majeure. La crise sanitaire a vu l’arrêt de la production et du commerce international, une intervention massive de l’État, la croissance de la dépense publique, des pénuries, de l’inflation. Plus récemment, Emmanuel Macron nous invite à réarmer mais à force d’accumuler des armes, on finit par s’en servir. Les différentes déclinaisons du concept d’économie de guerre intéressent les économistes (marché et Etat), les sociologues (la guerre produit de l’obéissance), les anthropologues (la guerre traverse toutes les civilisations), les historiens, des géographes (la guerre et l’accès aux ressources de la planète).

Business Perspectives on Corporate Accountability for Human and Environmental Rights Violations
The past twenty years have witnessed a multiplication of legislative initiatives, civil and criminal litigations, and concerted demands by social movements and NGOs across the world to hold economic actors accountable for human rights violations and environmental degradation. An important body of literature has examined these civil society mobilizations, and the ways governments envisage similar processes. Yet we know far less about the ways businesses understand their own rights and duties as legal persons, and their responsibilities as citizen. This conference aims to revisit the current academic scholarship on corporate accountability by providing a platform for socio-historical analysis of the variety of business actors and their (potentially fragmented and competing) ideas, strategies, and lines of action in terms of enhancing or undermining concrete responsibility for human rights violations and ecological degradation.

Revue « Afrique contemporaine »
Recent years have brought a dramatic upsurge in Africa’s gold output – boosting the export earnings and goverment revenues of producer countries, fuelling hopes of additional resources for development. But many also fear there could be negative spillovers, particularly in eroding stability and good governance, the so-called “resource curse”. These are just two facets of what is a wide debate debate, as the gold sector has multiple economic, political, environmental and symbolic ramifications. This issue of Afrique contemporaine aims to provide studies on different aspects, focusing as much as possible on the link between gold and the various forms of conflict.

Wars, hope, despair and peace in History
The causes of violence and wars is a traditional theme of controversy. Some old philosophers, like Maurras or von Moltke, see war as a divine law. Others, like Plato, think that it results from human passions or that it constitutes a biological necessity (Nietzsche, Malthus). Still others attribute it to nationalism fueled by despotism. For Marxists, conflict comes from the clash of economic forces. Scholars, philosophers, and moralists debate whether aggression is a constant factor in human nature, an innate or acquired character.
