Poste / Full-time Full Professor of Political Science à Sciences Po Paris (spécialisation Asie de l’Est ou Asie du Sud-Est)

Full-time Full Professor of Political Science, Specialisation International Relations and Multilateralism

Sciences Po is an international research university, both selective and open onto the world, ranking among the finest institutions in the fields of humanities and social sciences. Sciences Po’s overarching mission is to educate future leaders in the public and private sectors. Sciences Po is an equal opportunity employer and invites women to apply.

Requirements

Research Through their publications, candidates will demonstrate their ability to conduct innovative and internationally recognised research. They will demonstrate their integration in national and international scientific networks and their willingness to contribute to the research programmes conducted at the Centre for International Studies (CERI). This centre has cultivated its identity based on several singularities (use of diverse sociological traditions and analysis of normative issues).

The candidate’s research focus should adapt and match such characteristics by dealing with institutions and practices of multilateralism as a mode of international cooperation. The candidate will be expected to co-lead the GDR GRAM (Research Group on Multilateral Action) and to contribute to the activities of the CERI’s field of research entitled “Actors and Levels of Regulation in World Politics”. She/he will also be invited to join other programmes in International Relations—those r! elated to diplomatic practices on the one hand, and to non-Western and post-Western approaches on the other—as well as to one of the other fields (Identity and Politics, the transformations of the State, Political Participation and Mobilization, Violence and Risk Management).

Specialisation in one of the regional areas covered by the CERI is a condition for the recruitment. Applications with a focus on Southeast Asia or the Far East are an asset in this regard.

Teaching

Annual teaching duties are 128 master class-equivalent (CM) hours that can be divided into three 24-hour classes and 56 CM hours of complementary pedagogical services (1 CM hour = 6.3 hours) at the three levels of teaching offered by Sciences Po: its college programme (on one of the seven Sciences Po campuses) and especially the course Thinking IR globally (introductory course of IR at the undergraduate level), its Master’s program and its Doctoral School. Candidates will have to demonstrate their ability to teach general courses in International Relations, and their willingness to contribute to the supervision of doctoral theses.

Law, Justice, and International Relations at the Dawn of the Meiji Restoration: The María Luz Incident

Speaker: Giorgio Fabio Colombo

In July 1872, the María Luz, a bark flying the Peruvian flag, carried Chinese indentured servants from Macau to Peru. Due to a storm, the ship had to stop for repairs in Kanagawa Bay, and because of this, a number of legal issues arose that were destined to change the perception and use of the law in Japan forever. The María Luz incident is a significant episode in Japanese and world history. The case had a tremendous impact on the collective imaginary, both Japanese and international: it is one of the first occurrences in which an Asian country decided to resist the pressure of a “Western” nation, and responded using the most refined tools of domestic and international law. Moreover, the final outcome of the case (arbitration in front of the Czar of Russia) marks the debut of Japan on the stage of international arbitration. While historians have already examined the María Luz incident, jurists are yet to do so. This talk aims to address the most significant legal issues of the case and to foster further cooperation between historians and legal scholars of the early Meiji period.

Giorgio Fabio Colombo is Professor of Law at the Graduate School of Law, Nagoya University, where he is the Director of the Research Unit “Decolonizing Arbitration.” He is also Visiting Professor of Japanese Law at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy. He is Resident Research Fellow of the Italian School of East Asian Studies (ISEAS), and a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Japanese Law/Zeitschrift für Japanisches Recht. His research focuses on ADR, arbitration, private comparative law, law and literature, and legal cultures. His book on the María Luz incident, International Law, Justice and Modernity in Japan: The María Luz Incident and the Dawn of the Meiji Restoration is forthcoming with Routledge (2022). 

This lecture will be available only on Zoom. The meeting link will remain posted on the ISEAS website or the EFEO blog from February 12.

Résumé

Les mouvements sociaux de la fin des années 1960 au Japon font partie des tournants majeurs de l’histoire contemporaine du pays. Pourtant, leur héritage est aujourd’hui contesté et leurs représentations littéraires, visuelles ou graphiques évoquent généralement ces événements sous l’angle du combat tragique, perdu d’avance, radical et violent. À travers deux mangas qui s’intéressent au sujet en le reliant au terrorisme rouge, nous essayons, dans cet article, de définir les particularités du regard de ce médium sur ce moment d’histoire. Publiés au milieu des années 2000, alors que l’historiographie de Mai 68 évolue considérablement, Red et Unlucky Youngmen, les deux mangas dont nous traitons, mettent en avant des récits individuels, évacuant ainsi les aspects idéologiques, pourtant fondamentaux à l’époque.

Cycle de conférences / « Rendez-vous du Japon contemporain » 2021-2022 (CRJ de l’EHESS)

Centre de Colloques du Campus Condorcet, salle 3.01
Place du Front Populaire, 93300 Aubervilliers
de 11h à 13h

Ce séminaire a pour l’ambition le déploiement de démarches critiques autour des formes de normativité et de spécificité de la société moderne japonaise dans un contexte global. Les rendez-vous sont les moments d’échanges transdisciplinaires pour nourrir des débats et explorer l’évolution de la recherche en sciences sociales. Les questions du rapport d’une société au projet de la modernité et au fait post-industriel et à la crise environnementale nourrit des débats et mobilisation qui nécessitent aujourd’hui de nouveaux investissements intellectuels.

Séminaire du Centre animé par Aleksandra Kobiljski (chargée de recherche CNRS, CCJ-CRJ), César Castellvi (maître de conférences, Université de Paris) et Karoline Postel-Vinay (directrice de recherche, Sciences Po).
