The international system is based on a set of relationships between states, international organizations and non-state actors, framed by international law and multilateralism to preserve peace and organize global governance. However, since the end of the Cold War, this order has undergone a profound crisis, marked by geopolitical conflicts, power rivalries, the fragmentation of international institutions and the emergence of new forms of hybrid and informational conflict. At the same time, the global South, notably through the BRICS+, is asserting its growing strategic autonomy and challenging Western domination and the established international order. Against this backdrop, the Sahel is a telling example of the limits of multilateralism in the face of persistent security, political and economic crises. These mutations underline the need to rethink the international system and its governance mechanisms to meet contemporary challenges. In line with the above, the Revue de L'EMP-ABB is collecting articles for an issue on the international system.

This issue of Nouvelle revue du travail (NRT) looks at the growing importance of ecological issues in the world of work and, in so doing, the transformations of work and employment in the context of a major ecological crisis. This issue invites contributions devoted to the full range of professional activities, including polluting activities, potentially challenged by the objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions or, on the contrary, marked by resistance to the greening of work, and activities a priori remote from environmental issues.

For several years now, the journal Géographie et cultures has been tracking the transformations in contemporary geography—whether in terms of its subjects, methods, or modes of knowledge transmission. Building on these reflections, the editorial board wishes to dedicate a special issue to the uses, discourses, and controversies sparked by the recent proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) in academia, and in particular so-called “generative” AI. The aim is to foster discussion on the uses and non-uses of artificial intelligence in the production and dissemination of geographical knowledge.

The primary aim is to contribute to the discussion on the concept and phenomena of transition in the broadest sense—conceived in a non-reductionist and systemic manner as a contradictory dynamic of change marked by crises, leading to a gradual and profound transformation of capitalism, the outcome of which remains undetermined. These transformations are occurring at various levels—local, regional, national, and international.

This call for papers focuses on narratives, rumors, and collective imaginaries in Africa, and their role in public policy, governance, public management, and entrepreneurship. It invites analysis of the mechanisms through which these factors influence perceptions, behaviors, institutional trust, and economic and social dynamics. Contributions may focus, in particular, on social media, misinformation, artificial intelligence, health crises, political narratives, the media, and entrepreneurial practices.

The inclusion of people with disabilities is now a matter of social justice and respect for fundamental rights. Although enshrined in international treaties, this goal is hampered by unequal spatial realities, which are particularly evident in the overseas territories. While social science research on disability has expanded, studies specifically focused on overseas territories remain scarce. Similarly, statistical data in this area is incomplete. Furthermore, the legal statuses of these territories vary. And even within the Overseas Departments, situations differ due to history, local perceptions, or delayed integration into the legal framework (Mayotte). Moreover, the scales of analysis reveal different realities—particularly striking in New Caledonia, French Guiana, and French Polynesia—between local metropolitan centers and their more or less nearby peripheries. This gives rise to significant disparities—even entirely different worlds—between the regional capitals and their surrounding areas, on one hand, and the outlying regions, on the other.

We tend to view the French Revolution as the prototype of all revolutions. Nevertheless, the revolutions that have occurred throughout the world undeniably possess their own unique characteristics. Furthermore, these revolutions have influenced many legal theories developed in France. This symposium, designed to bring together young researchers, lecturers, and professors, aims to highlight the reality of this movement.

Contemporary societies are marked by crises: natural disasters, health crises, economic collapses, armed conflicts, forced displacement, and ecological disruptions. These events give rise to narratives, images, institutional discourses, and lived experiences that deserve to be examined by the humanities and social sciences.
