Présentation Nous vous invitons à découvrir le troisième numéro de notre revue, La Traverse. À travers des entretiens, des analyses, des exposés, cette revue s'efforce de tendre vers deux directions : forger des outils d'autodéfense intellectuelle ; imaginer, construire et faire découvrir des actions politiques ou des alternatives qui nous semblent pertinentes. Dans ce troisième numéro vous trouverez : Qu'est-ce qui renforce les luttes collectives ? Présentation Spécialiste des partis et des mouvements sociaux en Amérique latine, Hélène Combes est chargée de recherche au CNRS. Elle a rejoint le CERI en 2011 et a récemment coordonné, avec David Garibay et Camille Goirand, l’ouvrage intitulé Les lieux de la colère : occuper l’espace pour contester, de Madrid à Sanaa paru chez Karthala. - Cet ouvrage s’intéresse à un angle mort dans la sociologie des mouvements sociaux : que signifie « spatialiser l’analyse des mobilisations » ? - Je vais partir du paradoxe qui a été à l’origine de cet ouvrage collectif : les mobilisations étaient souvent associées, dans les médias, à des lieux physiques.

Weatherhead Center Working Paper Series Mylonas, Harris. 2013. The Politics of Diaspora Management in the Republic of Korea. The Asan Institute for Policy Studies Issue Brief 81: 1-12.Abstract The Republic of Korea has an elaborate diaspora management policy since the 1990s. But what accounts for the variation in policies toward Koreans in China, Japan, North America, and the former Soviet Union? In this issue brief I explore various explanations for this variation: ethnic hierarchy, with some of these communities considered as more purely Korean than others; the timing and reasons behind the emigration of each group; the skills that each community has; the degree of organization abroad; and, finally, the nature of interstate relations and balance of power between South Korea and the respective host states.
