The book presents the results of several qualitative research project with different actors that put migration policies into practice. It shows the different ways in which day-to-day activities of organisations shape migration policies on the ground. This book offers a comprehensive exploration on how different migration policies are implemented day by day. Such an approach allows to show the different ways in which migration policies on the ground take a life of their own when compared to the letter of the law. The book shows the need to understand the specific logics and workings of the implementation of policies, while taking into account the continued role played by politicians and the judiciary, non-state actors and migrants. Qualitative research with different public institutions implementing migration policies are combined with an exploration of the role of NGOs, supranational institutions and the migrants themselves. Bringing together the results of several research projects with fieldwork in Belgium, the UK, France, Morocco and Malta, the book covers the different stages of the migratory career. It follows the potential trajectory of a migrant from visa obtention (both in general and for students specifically) to border controls, asylum (including resettlement and gender and sexuality-based asylum), access to residence (with a specific focus on marriage-based residence), healthcare and nationality, or to detention and managed return migration. Through its chapters it shows the day-to-day logics, routines and tactics that bureaucrats and other actors adopt, within the constrains of laws, social interactions, and ideas about policies.

L'économie mondiale du savoir auquel l'Afrique devrait contribuer passe nécessairement par le renforcement de la formation doctorale et le soutien à la recherche. Les étudiants africains s'engagent la plupart du temps dans une thèse sans repères, sans date butoir, sans bibliothèque, sans financements, sans ordinateurs, sans un encadrement effectif et surtout sans autres moyens que la volonté d'y arriver. Concrètement, comment rédige-t-on une thèse de Doctorat en Afrique aujourd'hui ? Comment devient-on Docteur(e) en sciences sociales à Yaoundé, à Ouagadougou, à Dakar ?
Mettre en tension la généalogie de la « matrice de race » et son imaginaire a constitué l'un des objectifs principaux des Journées d'Études Internationales organisées par le GRENAL autour des enjeux de « race/s ». À travers différentes analyses pratiques portant sur un corpus diversifié, ces journées ont mis l'accent sur certains biais dans la saisie de l'autre non-blanc qui empruntent encore largement au schéma racial. Que celui-ci soit assumé ouvertement ou transfiguré, conscient ou inconscient. L'imaginaire racial ne saurait cependant pas être réduit aux images des non-blancs; il implique une relation hiérarchique, induit des dispositifs de relégation ou de valorisation et, surtout, génère de puissantes identifications très contradictoires dont l'efficace sociale est incontestable.
These are the collected papers of the second international symposium of the APEAS : texts heard in conferences and discussions with the audience. The event gathered doctors, paediatricians, psychiatrists, psychologists, anthropologists as well as magistrates, policemen, researchers and prevention professionals to discuss the different problems surrounding dangerous games and school bullying. They identify in particular the change in how these games are played and the impact of social network. To inform, educate and prevent are the goals of such an international meeting.
Cet ouvrage en anglais reprend le travail scientifique du network international « Social-One », dont le but est de fournir des éléments inédits pour l'interprétation de la réalité sociale d'aujourd'hui. Le concept au centre de la réflexion sociologique est la notion d'agape, qui est mise en relation avec le maintien de la paix et le développement culturel de chaque communauté humaine, tant dans les pays émergeants que dans les reste du monde.
En este libro figuran diez conferencias presentadas en la Universidad de Amiens durante la primera jornada "América latina : Género, sexualidad, frustración, placer : ficción y realidad", del Coloquio internacional, Genre et jouissance, 2015. Durante este evento la comunidad cientifíca llevó a cabo una reflexión interdisciplinaria en torno a la naturalización del género y la sexualidad por medio de la educación y la cultura.
I only met those who managed to get through. Those who witnessed the attacks on their villages, the burning down of their homes. Those who buried their dead. Those who were caputured, imprisoned or tortured. Those who crossed the Sahara. Those who worked illegally in Libya to pay for the crossing of the Mediterranean. Those who do not speak the language of the country whre they arrive. Who are these men and sometimes women who ask for asylum in France ?
This book is made for you who have decided to consult a classical homeopath. Classical Homeopathy was discovered and developed by Samuel Hahnemann (End of 18thcentury). A unique homeopathic remedy is prescribed.
'Before consultation' establishes the central notion of constitution. Good health is a perfect synonym of a balanced constitution, whereas an unbalanced one leaves the door open to illness. The unique homeopathic remedy restores the balance by giving the individual the equivalent energy.
'During consultation' explains the state of mind needed to go through consultation, to be as productive as possible. It is a singular living process.
'After consultation' establishes the importance of the follow up in the homeopathic process. Just because a remedy has been given, this doesn't mean it is all over... things may only be starting!
Numerous real life case studies substantiate the development of a homeopathic pedagogy. At the end of this guide you will find useful guidelines and practical factsheets for collecting the most important original and specific signs.
In an era when globalization no longer seems to simply mean the overcoming of national borders, but rather the increasing populist sentiment of isolationism, advocating for intercultural praxis becomes daring. The recognition that our very existence depends on our capacity to forge a different global paradigm has led the authors to identify in intercultural awareness one factor towards an ethical refoundation of cohabitation on the planet.
From new apps on our cellphone to car-sharing, from the invasion of drones to the reorganization of production lines, from tweets to digital tablets and procreation methods, from genetic manipulations to nanotechnologies, innovation is everywhere.
It has penetrated and turned upside-down all the economic, social, cultural and political sectors.
Nothing escapes it. Nothing can survive without it. Permanent innovation, that headlong search for the new, is the originality of our period.
What world are we living in?
How can we find our way in a profusion like this?
How can we evaluate the meaning and usefulness of this general and growing agitation of our societies?
What universe is being prepared?
For three years, at regular morning sessions, we invited the most diverse personalities: heads of major groups and startup creators, scientists and philosophers, elected officials and physicians, foreign and French experts in many fields. They tackled every subject: the energy and digital transitions, the biological revolution, green mobility, new towns, those consumers who have become actors.
Everything moves! Montaigne was right: "Our world eternally turns around.'
Here is a modest contribution to the portrait of our modernity.
Je me suis mise à observer les enfants. Tous maigres et fatigués, ils n'avaient pas même 14 ans. Certains paraissaient si frêles et si menus que dans mon pays à n'en pas douter, ils auraient été envoyés à l'hôpital ou dorlotés au maximum par leurs parents. Ces histoires vécues font partie du Programme internationale pour l'abolition du travail des enfants (IPEC) du bureau international du Travail (BIT).
The European continent has never been more important to the future of the global economy. The role of the European Union is now being overshadowed by seemingly existential threats. Europe is changing, and changing quickly.
The global economy is also changing, and is doing so more quickly than at any other time in history. Companies are changing the way in which they do business, and the way in which they define business. What is success? How do we measure business performance in the new global economy?
The transition from old economic models to a new business paradigm creates environmental, social, and societal issues. Seeing companies through the challenges ahead will require strong leadership, exceptional vision, and talent. This book sets out the views of five women who match this description.
While women are still underrepresented in senior management positions, these women have succeeded as business leaders. Does the uniqueness of the female experience affect their vision of the economy? What can their careers and their companies tell us about business performance?
Perhaps most importantly - for Europe, for these women, for our economy as a whole - what comes next?

Los estudios que han visibilizado la esclavitud y el cautiverio en las sociedades europeas medievales y modernas, así como en sus continuidades atlánticas, son abundantes. Remiten, cada vez más, a las transformaciones identitarias a las que las personas esclavizadas se vieron abocadas, a la consistencia y riqueza de su bagaje cultural, a su marginalidad, o a su aceptación o resistencia a la cultura dominante. Los préstamos de las ciencias sociales pueden ayudar a renovar las aproximaciones al fenómeno, pero también pueden ser problemáticos. Los trabajos aquí reunidos intentan dar respuesta a este reto, contribuyen al enriquecimiento de las herramientas metodológicas e interpretativas de las fuentes, y potencian -desde la interdisciplinariedad- el debate, la reflexión y el aprovechamiento de la renovación epistemológica que experimentan la antropología y la sociología históricas. Son aportaciones novedosas que, tanto desde la introducción del análisis de nuevas fuentes como desde la relectura de las que tradicionalmente han sido más explotadas, constituyen un avance hacia nuevos estudios de historia social de la esclavitud centrados en el esclavo y en sus redes de relaciones sociales.
Ce volume de Transversales constitue le septième volet des travaux de spécialistes des études sur le dix-huitième siècle français et britannique. Ces chercheurs tentent de redéfinir les modes opératoires de la sociabilité pour chacune des deux nations, à partir de sources célèbres ou méconnues, et s'interrogent sur la réalité de la supériorité du modèle français de sociabilité. Le présent volume s'intéresse plus particulièrement à la représentation et à la réinvention des espaces de sociabilité à partir de sources diverses, correspondance, oeuvres littéraires, archives de sociétés, essais philosophiques, films. Il met en évidence les dimensions urbanistiques et transgressives de l'espace, sa dualité, en étant à la fois imaginaire et physique et s'interroge sur le rôle de l'être humain, acteur et spectateur. La représentation des espaces de sociabilité, telle qu'elle est abordée dans cet ouvrage, pose la question de l'autorité et de la négociation opérée par l'individu entre liberté et appartenance à un groupe socio-culturel lui-même indissociable d' une nation en devenir.
This volume is the seventh in the Transversales series published by a group of researchers of different nationalities on the topic of sociability in France and Britain during the Enlightenment. The research focuses on the extent to which a new model of sociability emerged in these nations during this period, and the similarities and differences between the ways this model developed on each side of the Channel. The present volume examines the representation and reinvention of sociable spaces through an excavation of various sources, letters, literary works, archives of societies, philosophical essays, films. It highlights the urbanistic and transgressive aspects of space, its duality, as it is at once physical and imaginary, and it questions the role of human beings, both as actors and spectators. The representation of sociable spaces, as it is dealt with in this work, raises the issue of authority and of the negotiation enacted by the individual between freedom and the membership of a socio-cultural group that is inseparable from a nation in the making.
¿Cuál es la opinión del público joven sobre la pena de muerte? ¿Qué forma de despido colectivo en tiempos de crisis económica sería la menos problemática? ¿Qué tipo de política de control de sustancias debe seguir un gobierno? ¿Qué piensan los ciudadanos de los centros de consumo asistido? ¿Son legítimas las primas para los altos ejecutivos? ¿Cómo debe regularse el trabajo sexual altamente remunerado? ¿Deben prohibirse los ensayos clínicos con animales?
Este segundo volumen, al igual que el primero, no pretende dar respuestas definitivas a estas cuestiones. Sólo encontrará una exposición detallada de los puntos de vista sobre estas complejas cuestiones de mujeres y hombres que, según el tema de que se trate, viven en Brasil, Colombia, Francia, India, Mozambique, Portugal o Togo.
Profound transformations are affecting the research systems around the world. We witness the emergence of new or restructured organizations to steer public research or promote innovation, new programmatic directions within these organizations, increased funding dedicated to research in academic settings, and new domestic and international partnerships and collaborations. A multiplicity of organizations and funding sources have appeared, creating a complex web where resources circulate along with knowledge in ways that are reshaping research systems in the South. This book gathers a large sample of these changes presented during a symposium organized by IDRC, IRD, IFRIS, and OECD, seeking to better understand their institutional, political and economic drivers. These cases document the building of scientific capacity and the broader use of results from scientific research and presents lessons for public policy. A large variety of case studies of specific research organizations and comparative analysis of the wider research system are presented in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
This book considers the state of the city and contemporary urbanisation from a range of intellectual and international perspectives. The most interdisciplinary collection of its kind Provides a contemporary update on urban thinking that builds on well established debates in the field Uses the city to explore economic, social, cultural, environmental and political issues more broadly Includes contributions from non Western perspectives and cities
Femmes de conscience, Aspects du féminisme américain (1848-1875) éclaire les débats qui animent la pensée américaine au XIXe siècle et préparent les grandes actions du XXe. Une équipe de spécialistes s'est réunie autour de Susan Goodman et Daniel Royot afin de mettre en perspective tout un faisceau d'idées. L'unité thématique s'est réalisée sur la condition des femmes et son évolution. Sont ainsi examinées les lignes de force des divers mouvements. L'approche diachronique permet d'évaluer les phases successives des luttes. L'ouvrage traite en outre de la nature du discours féministe et de ses variantes, s'attachant aux voix représentatives en termes de politique, de philosophie et de création littéraire. La question religieuse, le problème du mariage, la cause des femmes noires, les fonctions socio-économiques, le droit de vote font l'objet d'analyses. Polémiques, débats, ruptures, échecs et réussites constituent la trame de ce panorama dont on peut dire qu'il participe d'une problématique inédite, de nature à donner un nouvel élan aux études féministes anglophones.
Asia and the Pacific, an immense region, both new and old, in which two thirds of the world lives. A region of superlatives, exceptions, China, continually facing disasters and risks from its past, India, a continent of its own, Japan, archipelago of the future. It is a region that is attracting global growth and becoming the centre of the world. Who could have predicted that the GDP of Asia and the Pacific would be equal to that of the European Union? And what will tomorrow bring? This compilation gives an overview of Asia's world, bringing together texts written by researchers and specialists and that have been published on Asia and the Pacific Network's website (CNRS) between 2011 and 2013. It follows the first volume published in 2011 covering the period 2002-2011. These works covering the humanities and social science recount the past, tell us of the future and illustrate the complexity of Asia and the Pacific through its flaws, strengths and challenges. They reveal the profound roots and depth of the dynamism of these new powers that could soon take over the future of humanity. Numerous researchers and academics specialising in contemporary Asia and the Pacific are bringing into light many aspects of this great and inevitable shift in the world.
The purpose of this book is to explain why, after the occurrence of unconstitutional changes of government, a period of transition is necessary. The author sustains the view that periods of transition present opportunities to not only set up the structural foundations of the soul of the nation, but also to establish solid democratic institutions and durable peace. He believes that the success of a democratic transition is founded on the way transitional institutions are organised, as well as on their commitment to peace and to democratic values. Many instances are based in african countries.
