Beyond the notion of security community: What role for the African regional organizations in peace and security?
2005
African regional organizations' increasing activity in security policy is usually approached through the concept of ‘security community’, which can only partially clarify their difficult situation. A multi-level governance model is suggested as a more useful approach in a situation where economic cooperation is weak, member states' principles of governance diverge, and they themselves might be part of security problems. A security community is not a necessary condition for a regional organization to play a role in the field of security. Through new intra-regional and cross-level relationships with the international community and civil society, regional organizations can become important sec…
International public administration on the tip of the tongue: language as a feature of representative bureaucracy in the Economic Community of West A…
2020
Recent scholarship shows increasing interest in gender, ethnic or national representation within regional and international organizations. In contrast, language as a criterion of representation has rarely been scrutinized. We argue that this constitutes an important oversight for two reasons: (1) language is an important identity marker; and (2) language regimes in international public administrations can uniquely address representativeness relative to both member states and groups of citizens.

Le sport en Franche-Comté : spécificité et organisation de l'espace régional
2007
This paper is a multi-scale analysis of sports in the Franche-Comté region. After reviewing available data sources, the specificities of regional sport are highlighted such as the Nordic activities which are facilitated by the physical environment. Taking into account rates of club membership, the region is an intermediate space between West and South France while professional sport suffers from the absence of large cities. Finally, some regional patterns of sport organizations are examined examplified by three sports which have varying levels of diffusion.

2019
This contribution deals with relations between regional organizations and the UN Security Council under Chapter VIII of the UN Charter. In this respect, the most recent trends are a shift from subsidiarity to a more equal partnership between these two subjects. The two models of action by delegation or authorization of the Security Council are in fact autonomous. This is demonstrated by the preparatory works of the UN Charter and subsequent practice. The model of authorized regional action enriches the range of instruments that the United Nations Charter provides for the maintenance of peace and collective security.
