The aim of this collective work is to shift the analytical gaze towards a sequence of the electoral process that has as yet received little thought or theorization, by introducing the notion of "pre-electoral dynamics". By this notion we mean all the institutional, actorial, discursive and symbolic processes that unfold between the definitive closure of an electoral cycle (resolution of disputes and implementation of results) and the convocation of the electorate for the next election.

Each issue of Nouvelles Questions Féministes deals with a theme proposed by a coordinating group, made up of members of the magazine's editorial board and possibly external specialists. The magazine accepts off-theme proposals for the Champ libre section at all times, and reserves the Grand angle section for thematic contributions. NQF regularly issues calls for contributions on these themes, but not always, when, for example, an issue is put together following a symposium that the editorial board has deemed of interest to the magazine.

This is one of the questions that will drive the 6th edition of the colloquium for doctoral students and young doctors, entitled "Actualité et réactions du droit", to be held on November 17, 2026 at the Faculté de Droit et de Sciences politiques in Nantes. The aim is to discuss and study the various reactions of the law to events of varying degrees of importance. While the law may give the impression of feeding on current events, it also appears that certain subjects and certain types of events do not lead to any evolution, or even lead the legislator to go back on acquired legal norms.

From the perspective of Relations internationales, this dossier proposes to place environmental diplomacy within the interplay of "deep forces" that structure international relations: economic transformations, social dynamics, scientific productions, cultural representations and power relations. In so doing, it aims to capitalize on new research in environmental history, the history of capitalism and the history of science and technology, all of which have made environmental governance a central theme.

This call for papers focuses on the notion of permission in law, understood as a category. The event aims to question its theoretical status, diversity and functions, distinguishing in particular the different forms of permissive acts (authorization, tolerance, empowerment). It also aims to analyze the growing role of authorization mechanisms in contemporary legal systems, marked by logics of prior control. At the crossroads of general legal theory and the branches of positive law, the aim is to clarify the place of permission in the typology of norms and its practical implications.
