The global economic crisis as a critical Juncture? The crisis's impact on migration movements and policies in Europe and the US

2016

The current global economic crisis has resulted in the strongest recession in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries since the Great Depression in the early 1930s and the 1970s oil shocks. This special issue sets out to explore how the most recent economic crisis impacted immigration and immigration-related policy in the United States of America and in European countries that are part of the OECD. The crisis of the late 2000s was offset by the collapse of the subprime US housing market, destabilising the financial system and leading to a sovereign debt crisis. The shock was marked by a “sudden […] deterioration of most, or all, key macroeconomic indicator…

Washington, une ville mondiale ?

Washington DC is rarely mentioned in the scientific literature on world cities. However, its influence on the world economy is obvious (World Bank, IMF, Federal Reserve).

La publicisation des liens entre l’antibiorésistance et l’alimentation dans la presse nationale étatsunienne

Si le problème de la résistance des bactéries aux antibiotiques (antibiorésistance) est depuis longtemps connu dans le domaine scientifique, on assiste aujourd’hui à une phase de reconnaissance politique du problème.

(De)constructing "America": the Case of Emir Kusturica's Arizona Dream (1993)

2010

International audience; By means of an analysis of Kusturica's only film about America, Arizona Dream, this article argues that while the United States offers a vision of a united society founded on diversity, it also represses, altering in the process both society and the landscape. National unity is consequently a dream – a dream the film suggests that has often been dreamed up by un-Americans. Filtered through Kusturica's own perceptions of America – and his position on the Balkan War (1991-2001) – the film seems to suggest sadness at the loss of a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural perspective. Through its representations of geography and ethnic diversity, and its dense network of filmic cita…

Modelling suburbanization (success and limits of microeconomics of cities)

2001

History of population and employment suburbanization, mainly in the United States, suggests three characteristics of the phenomenon. 1/ Suburbanization results in urban sprawl in such a way that population and employment increase more rapidly in the periphery than in thecenter. 2/ Suburbanization leads to the emergence of new activity centers in the periphery and gives rise to multicentric urban structures. 3/ Suburbanization différenciâtes the economic contents and functions of these activity centers and brings a new organization of urban centres.In this framework, suburbanization takes different forms depending of periods and regions. The emergence of centers and the transformation from m…
