EDITORIAL<br />

Francis Vérillaud<br />

Deputy Director of Sciences Po<br />

Director of International Affairs<br />

Throughout the year, Sciences Po and the<br />

International Affairs Division devote<br />

considerable energy to creating new<br />

<strong>academic</strong> partnerships around the world<br />

and to strengthening the agreements<br />

already in force. It is always difficult to<br />

single out one initiative among so many<br />

worthy programmes, but I would like to<br />

highlight a new <strong>research</strong> <strong>group</strong> that is<br />

emblematic of the Sciences Po approach.<br />

The Oxford/Sciences Po Social<br />

Sciences Research Group (<strong>OXPO</strong>) was<br />

created in March by Sciences Po, the<br />

departments of politics and international<br />

relations and sociology of the University<br />

of Oxford, and the Maison Française<br />

d'Oxford. <strong>OXPO</strong> will help finance the<br />

launching of joint <strong>research</strong> projects, and<br />

both institutions will annually exchange<br />

visiting doctoral and post-doctoral<br />

students as well as <strong>academic</strong>s, and will<br />

organise a joint doctoral seminar.<br />

This model of <strong>academic</strong> cooperation is<br />

focused on the creation of transnational<br />

teams of <strong>research</strong>ers at the highest levels,<br />

backed up by the resources and prestige<br />

of two leading universities. Moreover, it<br />

builds on a <strong>longstanding</strong> relationship<br />

between Oxford and Sciences Po and<br />

replaces a previous vehicle for<br />

cooperation. The combination of<br />

prestigious intellectual networks,<br />

multinational <strong>research</strong> teams and a<br />

commitment over the long term will ensure<br />

the success of this new venture.<br />

Sciences Po se félicite de la création d'un<br />

nouveau <strong>group</strong>e de recherche, <strong>OXPO</strong>, qui<br />

réunit l'Université d'Oxford, Sciences Po,<br />

et la Maision française d'Oxford. Ce<br />

partenariat financera des projets de<br />

recherche conjoints et permettra des<br />

échanges de chercheurs et d'étudiants<br />

doctoraux et post-doctoraux. Il bénéficiera<br />

des réseaux intellectuels des deux<br />

prestigieuses institutions, d'équipes de<br />

chercheurs multinationales, et de la<br />

collaboration qui lie Oxford à Sciences Po<br />

depuis longtemps.<br />

<strong>New</strong> <strong>OXPO</strong> <strong>research</strong> <strong>group</strong> to deepen the<br />

<strong>OXPO</strong> builds on a long tradition of<br />

cooperation between scholars from the<br />

University of Oxford and Sciences Po,<br />

and aims to expand the activities of the<br />

European <strong>research</strong> <strong>group</strong> «European<br />

Democracies», created in 2005, which<br />

it replaces.<br />

<strong>OXPO</strong> will help finance the<br />

launching of <strong>research</strong> projects<br />

coordinated jointly by Oxford and<br />

Sciences Po <strong>research</strong>ers, and both<br />

institutions will annually host visiting<br />

doctoral and post-doctoral students as<br />

well as <strong>academic</strong>s from the other<br />

institution. They will also organise a<br />

joint doctoral seminar. Please see the<br />

Sciences Po team impresses judges in Stockholm business case contest<br />

Four students from the Nancy French-<br />

German regional campus of Sciences<br />

Po greatly impressed judges in the<br />

Stockholm School of Economics (SSE)<br />

business case competition held in<br />

Sweden on March 5-7.<br />

The SSE, a university with which<br />

Sciences Po has strengthened its<br />

partnership over the years, organised<br />

the competition (based on the<br />

Harvard business cases) to celebrate<br />

its 100th anniversary. Twelve<br />

prestigious schools from around the<br />

world were invited.<br />

The Sciences Po team, accompanied<br />

by economics teacher Samuel<br />

Ferey, worked for 24 hours to produce<br />

a business plan for De Laval, a major<br />

Swedish milk company.<br />

The team didn’t make the final, but<br />

greatly impressed selection panel<br />

members, who couldn’t believe at first<br />

that the students did not come from a<br />

business school and yet had been able<br />

to produce work of such quality.<br />

Students chose to name their team<br />

after Albert O. Hirschman, in honour<br />

of the Jewish-German economist and<br />

author of several influential books on<br />

political economy and development<br />

economics, who fought in the French<br />

army in 1940 and was very active in<br />

the fight against Nazism until the end<br />

of the war.<br />

Sciences Po <strong>academic</strong> advisor assists undergrad exchange students<br />

Sciences Po has recruited an <strong>academic</strong><br />

advisor whose main role is to advise<br />

international undergraduate exchange<br />

students. Bruno Perreau (bruno.<br />

perreau@sciences-po.fr), who took up<br />

the position at the beginning of the<br />

<strong>academic</strong> year, is currently an assistant<br />

professor of political science and<br />

gender studies at Sciences Po at the<br />

undergraduate level, and is a former<br />

member of the Institute for Advanced<br />

Study at Princeton.<br />

"There was a need for advising<br />

students about their studies at Sciences<br />

Po. Coming from universities all around<br />

the world and from various disciplinary<br />

backgrounds, students always have a<br />

lot of questions about methodology at<br />

Sciences Po, how they will be assessed,<br />

how they can write a dissertation, or<br />

prepare an oral presentation. This is the<br />

kind of help I try to bring them,"<br />

according to Bruno Perreau.<br />

The <strong>academic</strong> advisor has three<br />

main responsibilities. First, helping<br />

international exchange students with<br />

course selection and enrolment, course<br />

requirements and validation, and<br />

London School of Economics professor Michael Cox.<br />

Arab world association Facebook <strong>group</strong> reaches 600 members<br />

More than 600 people have now joined<br />

the Facebook <strong>group</strong> of the Sciences<br />

Po Association for the Arab world<br />

(Sciences Po Monde Arabe or SPMA). The<br />

association, which was founded in<br />

2006 and has since carved out a<br />

leading role among Science Po<br />

student <strong>group</strong>s, defines itself as a<br />

forum for reflection on the political,<br />

economic, social and cultural issues<br />

of the Arab world.<br />

The SMPA has a core <strong>group</strong> of 15<br />

active members from backgrounds as<br />

diverse as is the Arab world today. The<br />

president, Selim Ben Hassen, is<br />

Tunisian and a lawyer, while other<br />

members come from Morocco, Algeria,<br />

France, Lebanon, Yemen and<br />

Palestine. The common ground is a<br />

credo: avoiding self-interested<br />

positions and artificial attempts at<br />

consensus, moving beyond the Israel/<br />

Palestinian conflict while continuing<br />

to discuss the topic, and ensuring<br />

open debate on opposing viewpoints.<br />

questions concerning teaching methods<br />

at Sciences Po. Second, supporting<br />

students who have difficulty adapting<br />

to teaching and learning methods which<br />

may be different from those in their<br />

home country. This service is offered in<br />

Bruno Perreau.<br />

the form of tutorials. Third, helping to<br />

inform partner universities of the<br />

Sciences Po course offering for<br />

undergraduate exchange students.<br />

"More than 500 students have made<br />

The result is an active schedule of<br />

public debates featuring high-profile<br />

personalities such as Hubert Vedrine,<br />

Tahar Ben Jelloun, Robert Badinter, and<br />

Moncef Marzouki, as well as reports and<br />

papers focused on the region. Two<br />

major meetings will take place this<br />

spring, one on capital punishment and<br />

Islamic law in the Arab world (featuring<br />

Robert Badinter) and another on<br />

Islamic feminism.<br />

Fondée en 2006, l’association Sciences<br />

Po pour le Monde Arabe (SPMA)<br />

compte plus de 600 membres sur son<br />

<strong>group</strong>e Facebook et connaît aujourd’hui<br />

un grand succès dans l’univers<br />

associatif de Sciences Po (elle est la<br />

première association à avoir été<br />

reconnue cette année). La SMPA se<br />

définit comme un cercle de réflexion sur<br />

les enjeux politiques et économiques,<br />

aussi bien que culturels et de société,<br />

dans le monde arabe.<br />

4<br />

appointments or emailed me over the<br />

last couple of months! One key aspect<br />

of my responsibilities is to provide them<br />

with all kinds of information relevant<br />

to their studies at Sciences Po but also,<br />

and above all, to reassure them. Taking<br />

care of each student is our commitment<br />

to making studying at Sciences Po a<br />

unique experience," according to Bruno.<br />

Bruno Perreau (bruno.perreau@<br />

sciences-po.fr) assure depuis octobre<br />

le suivi pédagogique des étudiants<br />

internationaux inscrits en échange en<br />

deuxième année. Il est docteur en<br />

sciences politiques et maître de<br />

conférences en 1er cycle à Sciences Po.<br />

Son rôle de conseiller académique<br />

permet de recevoir les étudiants<br />

internationaux pour toute question<br />

relative à leur scolarité y compris le<br />

choix de cours, la compatibilité des<br />

programmes avec leur plan de mobilité,<br />

et des questions sur les méthodes<br />

d’enseignement à Sciences Po. Un<br />

soutien méthodologique, sous forme de<br />

tutorat, est également proposé aux<br />

étudiants en difficulté.<br />

représentent des points de vue<br />

souvent divergents et des horizons<br />

différents. Le trait d’union entre eux<br />

est un seul credo : refuser le<br />

clientélisme et les clubs consensuels ;<br />

sortir sans l’éluder de la figure obligée<br />

du conflit israélo-palestinien ; et ne<br />

pas fuir les sujets vraiment<br />

contradictoires car la dispute et la<br />

réflexion sont de rigueur.<br />

Le résultat en est une activité<br />

débordante de débats, avec des<br />

personnalités remarquables qui se<br />

prêtent avec grâce à l’exercice (telles<br />

que Hubert Védrine et Tahar Ben<br />

Jelloun), de rencontres, d’articles et<br />

de comptes-rendus sur le monde<br />

arabe.<br />

Deux manifestations de taille, l’une<br />

autour de la peine de mort et le droit<br />

musulman dans le monde arabe (en<br />

présence de Robert Badinter), et<br />

l’autre autour du féminisme<br />

islamique, auront ainsi lieu ce<br />

printemps.<br />

<strong>New</strong> <strong>research</strong> agreement signed during presidential visit to Mexico<br />

Sciences Po and the Colegio de México signed an advanced<br />

scientific cooperation accord on March 9 th during a visit to<br />

Mexico by French president Nicolas Sarkozy and with the<br />

support of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<br />

The Colegio de Mexico, a public higher education and<br />

<strong>research</strong> institution dedicated to the humanities and the<br />

social sciences, has been a <strong>longstanding</strong> partner of Sciences<br />

Po in student mobility and <strong>research</strong> initiatives.<br />

Two visiting professor Chairs, one based at each partner<br />

institution, will allow teachers and <strong>research</strong>ers from<br />

Sciences Po and Colegio de Mexico to undertake residencies<br />

in Paris and Mexico. CERI (Sciences Po) <strong>research</strong>er David<br />

Recondo, who is also vice president of the Sciences Po<br />

Caribbean and Latin American Political Observatory<br />

(OPALC), will be the first holder of the Mexican Chair for a<br />

three-year term.<br />

The agreement, signed by Colegio de Mexico president<br />

Javier Garciadiego and Sciences Po deputy director Francis<br />

Verillaud, includes two other priorities for action.<br />

Firstly, a joint <strong>research</strong> fund will be established to allow<br />

the <strong>academic</strong> communities of the two institutions to compete<br />

for grants based on joint projects. The fund will be financed<br />

in equal shares by the two partners.<br />

Secondly, a series of conferences – French-Mexican Dialogues<br />

– will incorporate external partners, such as the French<br />

Embassy in Mexico and French and Mexican intellectuals<br />

and practitioners, to address public affairs issues from a<br />

global perspective.<br />

Founded in 1940, the highly prestigious Colegio de<br />

México offers two bachelors degrees, eight masters degrees<br />

Sealing a new partnership (L-R): Valérie Pihet (Sciences Po), Bruno Latour (Sciences Po scientific director),<br />

Moshen Mostafavi (dean, Graduate School of Design, Harvard University), and Antoine Picon (associate <strong>research</strong>er<br />

at the École nationale des Ponts et Chaussées and professor of architectural history at the Harvard Graduate<br />

School of Design).<br />

Après presque 20 ans de partenariat réussi, les deux<br />

institutions se lancent dans une nouvelle collaboration qui<br />

comporte trois axes : la création de deux chaires, l’une basée<br />

à Sciences Po et l’autre au Colegio de México, qui<br />

permettront aux enseignants et chercheurs des deux<br />

institutions d’effectuer des séjours de recherche et<br />

d’enseignement à Mexico et à Paris ; la création d’un fonds<br />

commun destiné à financer des programmes de recherche<br />

conjoints ; et un cycle de conférences – les Dialogues francomexicains<br />
