With the writing of its 4-year contract with the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the Fondation has globally set four strategic directions for the coming years: – restore its institutional identity as private foundation and public interest institution – increase its capacities for scientific valorisation, through an even deeper international involvement and the consolidation of its thematic scientific programmes – clarify and update the position of its services while boosting their efficiency – intensify its position at the core of national and international networks. |

|
On the 18th of June, Michel Wieviorka was nominated by the FMSH Board as administrator, after Alain d'Iribarne's mandate. Sociologist, director of Center for Sociological Analysis and Intervention (CADIS / EHESS), president of the International Sociology Association since 2006, Michel Wierviorka wishes to contribute to counteract the decline of French humanities and social sciences, convinced of the FMSH assets. However, he identifies four challenges: – the provisional location of the Foundation – the development of the Paris Institute for Advanced Studies (IEA-Paris) – a potential double-location within Paris and on the Condorcet campus – the return within the premises of 54 boulevard Raspail. |

See full article in French Contact André Bourgeot (NESS / FMSH) |
|
The FMSH has been supporting this comparative project on Niger and Mali since 2008, possibly opening to a wider geopolitical space also including Mauritania, Algeria, Libya, and, to come, Tchad and Sudan. It combines three approaches: – a political-historical approach funded on the arrival of new actors, with new goals, in relation to Touareg rebellions, – considering mining resources and their extraction, a geopolitical approach with a view to development, – an environmental and legal approach underlining the conditions of access and use of natural resources by different ethnies. This fieldwork should lead to an international conference associating anthropology, geopolitics, security and religious processes. |
