SUMMARY:[Séminaire] La politique des visas. Filtrer les mobilités internationales en Chine et en Algérie
DESCRIPTION:(This event is hold in French) \nThis seminar is part of a series of seminars on migration management in Europe.\nThis particular session highlights the work of our colleague Juliette Dupont\, who will present her publication: La Politique des Visas. Filtrer les mobilités internationales (Edition Du Croquant\, 2025) \nDetails about the book\nFocusing on visa policy\, this book sheds new light on the sorting of foreigners: why are 90% of visa applications in China accepted\, while in Algeria\, one in two applications is refused? To understand how one nationality is privileged and another deprived of mobility\, this book draws on an unprecedented survey of the French consulates in Beijing and Algiers\, expatriate offices where bureaucracy and diplomacy intertwine. It reveals that visas act as a filter at borders\, the intensity of which varies according to the desired objective – tourist appeal in China and migration control in Algeria. On a daily basis and in the field\, agents classify applications as desirable or undesirable\, and applicants comply with\, resist or subvert these administrative obstacles. Through the visa\, this book seeks to question the production\, legitimisation and contestation of global inequalities in movement. \nRegistration\nPlease register yourself through this form. \nMedia

SUMMARY:[Online roundtable] Greenland as a Geopolitical Emergency: Crisis Narratives\, Security\, and the European Union
DESCRIPTION:A geopolitical Emergency\nRecent statements by U.S. President Donald Trump reviving the idea of acquiring Greenland have once again brought the island to the center of international political and security debates. Far from being an isolated provocation\, these remarks have intensified existing tensions in the Arctic and reinforced narratives of urgency surrounding sovereignty\, strategic competition\, and military security in the region. \nWithin this context\, Greenland is increasingly framed as a geopolitical “emergency\,” raising critical questions for the European Union regarding its role\, responsibilities\, and limits of action. \nThis online roundtable examines how crisis and emergency narratives shape European responses to Greenland\, influence EU unity and governance\, and prioritize certain security concerns over others. Bringing together perspectives on EU strategic options and the geopolitics of warfare\, the discussion explores Europe’s imperfect but viable approaches to an increasingly securitized Arctic landscape. \nSpeakers:\n\nTim Haesebrouck (Ghent University)\,\nEleni Kavvatha (UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles)\,\nEnrico Gianoli from Osservatorio Artico\n\nModeration: Teresa Cabrita (UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles) \nPractical Informations:\nDate: 27 February from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM \nFormat: Online \nEvent is free and open to everyone but registration is mandatory\, through this form
