Atelier international : "Les
microfondations du djihadisme dans la région sahélo-saharienne",
Paris, 19 avril 2013
Atelier dans le cadre du programme : Les
catégories idéologiques et les modes d'organisation sociale du djihadisme au
niveau local. (Une approche du djihadisme par les sciences sociales),
organisé par l'IISMM et Salma Belaala, chercheur Marie-Curie avancée, PCRD
À la différence des approches sécuritaires qui
étudient le djihadisme au plan logistique et opérationnel, le présent appel à
communication s'inscrit dans une approche de sciences sociales. En effet, le
djihadisme est étudié, dans le cadre de ce programme, en tant qu'idéologie
radicale. Le colloque a par conséquent pour objectif de rassembler des
chercheurs en sciences sociales s'inscrivant dans une approche
pluridisciplinaire sur la violence politique. Ces chercheurs développeront
une analyse de l'Etat et des acteurs politiques au niveau local, de la
géographie politique et sociale des territoires sahariens, de la démographie
des flux migratoires et de l'économie parallèle, de l'anthropologie
culturelle de l'islam local et de l'herméneutique de la propagande écrite
djihadiste.
Langues de travail : français et anglais. Demandes
d'informations et propositions (800 mots) à envoyer à S.belaala@warwick.ac.uk et appels.iismm@ehess.fr avant

Call for Papers for Researchers in Lebanon,
Syria, Egypt and the Wider Arab Region: "The Evolution of Scientific
Knowledge in the Eastern Mediterranean under European Colonial Rule. Local
Conditions and Global Contexts of Intellectual Encounters", Orient-Institut
Beirut, 16-18 May 2013
The conference focuses on two fields of
investigation that will add innovative insights to the existing literature of
Arab-European encounters: 1. Which social and politico-cultural
transformations were at the basis of the establishment of various academic
institutes and institutions of higher education? Pointing to institutions
such as the Société de Géographie d'Egypte (1875), the École des Beaux Arts
in Cairo (1908) or the Majma' al-Lugha al-'Arabiyya in Damascus
(1918/19), the local contexts of these
institutions and their responsiveness to changing concerns and ambitions in
society shall be worked out.
2. How were the newly emerging academic
disciplines linked to changing social discourses and political visions - and
how did the quest for cultural authenticity and the confrontation with
cultural domination of European colonial powers impact on intellectual
thought and academic research of Arab scholars?
By following this line of investigation and
building on original research, the conference aims at contributing both
valuable historical case studies and new theoretical perspectives on
intellectual encounters in times of social transformation and colonial rule.
Researchers are invited to send their
abstract before February 16, 2013 to Dr. Goetz Nordbruch (nordbruch@gei.de) or Dr. Thomas Scheffler

will be debated to assess the state of play in both regions and their
prospects for the future.

Workshop:
“The Gulf and Asia: Political Relations and Strategic Options in a
Developing Scenario (China, India, South Korea and Japan)”. At the Gulf
Research Meeting, Cambridge, 2-5 July 2013
This
workshop, extending over the three days of the Gulf Research Meeting in July

look at the existing political and defence strategies being pursued by all
the states and powers concerned, take into account the extent to which their
economic development depend on what the other states/powers can provide,
assess whether the Gulf States will in fact need external strategic support,
compare the potential Asian strategic contribution with that which can be
obtained from elsewhere, and assess the potential for different non-Gulf
powers to work together under a common security umbrella.
The
directors of the workshop are Professor Tim Niblock (University of Exeter)
and Professor Yangguang (Chinese Academy of Social Sciences).

Proposals
for Research on Arab Migrant Communities in the GCC
The
Center for International and Regional Studies (CIRS) at the Georgetown
University School of Foreign Service in Qatar announces a major research
initiative designed to enhance our understanding of Arab Migrant Communities
in the GCC. Despite the increasing dominance of Asian migrants to the region,
current estimates are that there are still somewhere
around 4 million non-Gulf Arabs throughout the GCC states, or over 25 percent of the
total migrant population. The Arab migrant community in the Gulf is predominantly
composed of Egyptians, Yemenis, Palestinians, Jordanians, and Syrians.
While the study of migration to the Gulf is increasingly garnering attention from a
number of academics and interested observers, the bulk of ongoing
empirically-based research efforts are focused on non-Arab migrants. The Arab migrant
communities present in the Gulf have been a neglected area and merit further
scholarly discussion and focus. In line with this, CIRS is launching a new
multi-disciplinary research initiative entitled “Arab Migrant Communities in the GCC.” Our goal is to
explore questions related to the topic through funding empirically-grounded,
theoretically informed research proposals.
CIRS
seeks to stimulate the collection of reliable data and the production of sound analysis on
this topic. Priority will be given to projects that propose original,
empirically-grounded research involving fieldwork on topics related to Arab Migrant Communities in the GCC. Award recipients
are expected to become active participants in the CIRS
research initiative on the issue. This may include travel to Doha for working group
meetings, public talks, or authorship of a chapter for an edited volume.
The
maximum amount per grant award is US $10,000 and the awards can last up to a maximum of one year. Researchers
interested in applying should send a cover letter and detailed research proposal that
conforms to the guidelines outlined in the Request for Proposals on the CIRS
website. Proposal submissions are due January 15, 2013.
For
inquiries and grant application submission, contact

Grants for Research on „The State and
Innovation in the Persian Gulf “, Center for International and Regional
Studies (CIRS), Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar
Increasingly, the GCC countries are speaking about their aspiration to develop knowledge-based economies, with the understanding that the region has to participate as a greater contributor to global intellectual achievement. The establishment of “education” or “knowledge” cities in the GCC region demonstrates state-driven initiatives to create future knowledge-based industries. How are these publically-funded efforts impacting on Gulf society, and are they visibly paying off in terms of across the board technological development as well as economic achievement? CIRS seeks to stimulate the collection of reliable data and the production of sound analysis on this topic. Priority will be given to projects that propose original, empirically-grounded research involving fieldwork on this topic. Award recipients are expected to become active participants in the CIRS research initiative on the issue. This may include travel to Doha for working group meetings, public talks, or authorship of a chapter for an edited volume.
