    Is There a Possible Dialogue Between Hegemony and Cosmopolitanism? Interview with Frédéric Ramel -- What do the two concepts of hegemony and cosmopolitanism imply? Are they opposed or is there a possible dialogue between them? In a recently published chapter (“Competition for Hegemony ” in the edited volume Cosmopolitanism in Hard Times), Professor of political science at Sciences Po CERI Frédéric Ramel questions these concepts and explores their scope. The following is an interview with the author. Interview by Miriam Perier, CERI

    Caught in the nuclear trap(s)? The responsibility and findings of independent scholarship

    No full text
    Benoit Pelopidas is the author of Repenser les choix nucléaires. La séduction de l'impossible, published last January by Presses de Sciences Po and currently being translated into English. Through systematic research conducted over more than a decade, at the crossroads of nuclear history and international relations, the author addresses essential notions such as proliferation, the security dilemma, vulnerability, and chance to name but a few. He answers our questions about his work, his approach, and his firm stance on the independence of research. This interview was conducted with Benoît Pélopidas on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the Nuclear Knowledges programme

    La Chose nue : parité, restitution, spectre

    No full text
    “Disappearance” is at the heart of the studies and novels of Hadrien Laroche, who reexamines for us “the thing” in the work of Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, and Meyer Shapiro. We are familiar with the discussion around Van Gogh’s shoes, a still life lively enough to give rise to some very keen, contradictory interpretations. In introducing the Marquis de Sade into the game, the author allows us to broach the delicate question of the human being’s treatment as a thing by both artists and philosophers.La disparition est au cœur des études et des romans de Hadrien Laroche qui revient pour nous sur « la chose » chez Heidegger, Derrida et Schapiro. Nous connaissons la discussion autour des Souliers de Van Gogh, nature morte suffisamment vivante pour susciter des interprétations contradictoires d’une grande vivacité. En introduisant Sade dans le jeu, l’auteur nous permet d’aborder la question délicate du traitement de l’humain comme chose par l’artiste et le philosophe

    À propos du populisme

    contribution à un site webOn the basis of a reading of seven books devoted to populism, the author discusses the various ways in which philosophers, political scientists and historians have approached the phenomenon. He addresses the thorny question of how populism is to be defined and the relationship between populists and democracy. He also examines how social scientists position themselves with regard to populism and argues for respecting value neutrality when addressing the topic.À partir d’une lecture de sept ouvrages consacrés au populisme, l’auteur discute différentes approches de ceux-ci proposées par des philosophes, des politistes et des historiens. Il s’intéresse à la question épineuse de la notion de populisme et aux rapports qui s’établissent entre les populistes et la démocratie. Il examine le positionnement qu’adoptent les chercheurs en sciences sociales par rapport au populisme et plaide en faveur du respect de la neutralité axiologique

    Sociologie de l’action organisée et analyse des politiques publiques : deux approches pour un même objet ?

    No full text
    Public policy analysts and organisation sociologists often look at the same objects. The author undertakes a comparison of their respective methodological approaches on three dimensions : how they construct their objects of research ; how they mobilise and lead field studies ; what characteristics of public action does each approach reveal ? While stating the existence of complementarities among the two perspectives on the two first dimensions, she stresses a higher degree of non-compatibility on the third one. Indeed, the latter deals with the role and the centrality recognised to politics and policies in modern societies.Partant du constat qu’analystes des politiques publiques et sociologues de l’action organisée s’intéressent souvent à des objets similaires, l’auteur propose de comparer leurs approches méthodologiques respectives en se centrant sur trois dimensions : la construction des objets de recherche ; la place, l’utilisation et la conduite des enquêtes empiriques ; les caractéristiques de l’action publique que révèlent l’une et l’autre perspective. Elle conclut en mettant en avant la complémentarité des deux approches sur les deux premières dimensions, mais souligne un plus fort degré d’incompatibilité sur la troisième parce qu’elle met en jeu la place et la centralité reconnue au politique par les différents analystes

    LY-294002-inhibitable PI 3-kinase and regulation of baseline rates of Na<sup>+</sup>transport in A6 epithelia

    Blocker-induced noise analysis of epithelial Na+channels (ENaCs) was used to investigate how inhibition of an LY-294002-sensitive phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) alters Na+transport in unstimulated and aldosterone-prestimulated A6 epithelia. From baseline Na+transport rates ( INa) of 4.0 ± 0.1 (unstimulated) and 9.1 ± 0.9 μA/cm2(aldosterone), 10 μM LY-294002 caused, following a relatively small initial increase of transport, a completely reversible inhibition of transport within 90 min to 33 ± 6% and 38 ± 2% of respective baseline values. Initial increases of transport could be attributed to increases of channel open probability ( Po) within 5 min to 143 ± 17% (unstimulated) and 142 ± 10% of control (aldosterone) from baseline Poaveraging near 0.5. Inhibition of transport was due to much slower decreases of functional channel densities ( NT) to 28 ± 4% (unstimulated) and 35 ± 3% (aldosterone) of control at 90 min. LY-294002 (50 μM) caused larger but completely reversible increases of Po(215 ± 38% of control at 5 min) and more rapid but only slightly larger decreases of NT. Basolateral exposure to LY-294002 induced no detectable effect on transport, Poor NT. We conclude that an LY-294002-sensitive PI 3-kinase plays an important role in regulation of transport by modulating NTand Poof ENaCs, but only when presented to apical surfaces of the cells.</jats:p

    contribution à un site webArctic Yearbook managing editor Joël Plouffe interviews Camille Escudé, a Ph.D. candidate in international relations at Sciences Po-CERI, France, and author of “The Strength of Flexibility: The Arctic Council in the Arctic Norm-Setting Process.” Escudé explores the central role of the Arctic Council in Arctic norm setting by examining the instruments of and documents produced under the Council, international agreements, and scholarly work on the Council in regional and international affairs. Her findings are also based on a series of interviews with members and Working Groups of the Council, as well as individuals working at the Council’s Secretariat in Tromsø

    contribution à un site webFrançois Bafoil is the author of The Politics of Destruction. Three Contemporary Configurations of Hallucination. USSR, Polish PiS Party, Islamic State, published with the Sciences Po series in International Relations and Political Economy/Pivot series at Palgrave Macmillan. In his book, Bafoil questions the notion of hallucination, generally examined through the lenses of psychoanalysis, with regard to political phenomena. He considers three case studies, through which he opens a dialogue between the social sciences and psychoanalysis. Interview by Corinne Deloy and Miriam Périer
