Conference “Terrorism & Security Governance”, 21 June 2019, European University Institute

This Forum’s is to feed an academic reflection about analytical problems in the study of Terrorism, and to frame and inform the public discussion on the security situation in Europe. The discussion will involve both well-known academics as well as officials from the EU Commission, NATO and EUROPOL.

Invited speakers include leading European, Iranian and international scholars and researchers as well as key EU practitioners dealing with European policy towards Iran and the Middle East. This will also be an opportunity to discuss future cooperation initiatives, continuing to build on our fruitful cooperation with the Institute for Political and International Studies (IPIS), which has already resulted in the exchange of three study visits in Rome and Tehran. The event coincides with the completion of a one-year research and public engagement project jointly-coordinated by FEPS and IAI focussed on Europe-Iran relations against the backdrop of regional tensions in the Middle East and the international fallout from the Trump administration’s unilateral withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Entitled, ‘Europe and Iran in a Fast-Changing Middle East: Confidence Building Measures, Security Dialogue and Regional Cooperation’ the project consists of five research studies on different dimensions of EU-Iran relations, Iranian foreign policy and regional and international geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. A final policy strategy report, including recommendations for EU member states and institutions, will also be produced and presented at the event in Brussels in June.

Construire les politiques de lutte contre la pauvreté urbaine à partir du terrain : De l’analyse de la mise en œuvre des politiques publiques à l’identification des processus d’insertion sociale et économique,  Colloquium, Paris 4-5 July 2019

Organisé dans le cadre du programme de recherche MARG-IN, qui est financé par l’Agence nationale de la recherche, ce colloque entend contribuer aux débats en cours sur la lutte contre la pauvreté en identifiant, à partir de l’examen des jeux d’acteurs liés à la mise en œuvre des politiques, les processus d’insertion sociale et économique qui pourraient servir de base à la construction de nouveaux dispositifs en phase avec la demande sociale et avec les réalités locales.

Il se déroulera à Paris les 4 et 5 juillet 2019. Pendant ces deux jours, les chercheurs seront invités à échanger leurs points de vue avec les acteurs institutionnels, les acteurs de terrain (professionnels de l’action sociale et militants associatifs) et les personnes en situation précaire. Ces échanges serviront de base à l’écriture d’un texte commun jetant les bases d’une approche de la lutte contre la pauvreté « par le bas », et à large diffusion.
