By virtue of its interdisciplinary positioning, it is part of the War and Security Studies movement and uses transnational approaches. It is part of new scientific developments: anthropological approaches to violence and war, a new history of international relations and transnational mechanisms and actors, memory issues and collective representations.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tAxis members\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<ul>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<b>Full members :<\/b> Nicolas BADALASSI, Walter BRUYERE-OSTELLS, Sophie DAVIAUD, Fran\u00e7ois DUMASY, Pierre FOURNIER, Guillaume LINTE, Claire MIOT, Benoit POUGET, Aude SIGNOLES\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<b>Doctoral students :<\/b> Bob BAKOULA, Eva BERNARD, Th\u00e9o BOREL, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois BRIOT, Alessandro CECCHINI, Maxime CHARCOSSET, Pauline CHERBONNIER, Enguerrand DUCOURTIL, Pierre-Olivier EGLEMME, Othman FARRAI, H\u00e9l\u00e8ne FRANC, Philippe GUYOT, Louna HASSAINI, Fouad IBRAHIM SHOUSHA, Arnaud MASSAT, Victor NATALIZIO, Sami OUCHANE, Coralie TAULEIGNE\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<b>Post-doctoral and ATER students :<\/b> Jonathan HASSINE\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<b>Partners:<\/b> Antoine BURGARD, Erica CHARTERS, Rapha\u00ebl CHERIAU, Guy CHET, Antoine COPPOLANI, Alice DAQUIN, Guillaume DE ROUGE, Yannick EFFOSSOU, Sophie GUEUDET, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois KLEIN, Thomas RAMONDA, Vincent TOUZE, Thomas VAISSET, Paul VILLATOUX\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul>\n\t<p>The aim of this area is to re-examine the notion of crisis in contemporary history and the present day, based on contexts of violence and extraordinary situations leading to political, social or economic restructuring on different temporal and geographical scales (Europe, the Mediterranean, Africa). These ruptures are discussed in a dynamic reading of the events and on several temporal scales, giving a good grasp of the microevolutions upstream and downstream.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the approaches traditionally developed in international relations, the aim here is to develop an approach based on individual or collective actors, understanding conflicts in terms of the people behind them. At the crossroads of national, international and transnational interpretations of tensions, the aim is to define the forms of rupture that make it possible to characterise crises and establish the forms of recomposition of public action; to grasp the thresholds and degrees of suffering and\/or violence that may legitimise the intervention of armed forces.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/Mesopolhis-18-square.jpg\" alt=\"Doctoral students&#039; room\" height=\"1667\" width=\"2500\" title=\"Mesopolhis-18\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDoctoral students' room\n<h3>\n\t\tThree thematic areas are given priority:\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<ul>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\tMultiscalar and multisectoral crisis dynamics\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\tCrisis mechanisms and the reshaping of international regimes\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\tNuclear power: a crisis factor at the heart of today's international regime\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul>\n\t<p><i>Keywords: International relations, violence, crises, new conflicts, memory, states, armies, non-state groups, diplomats, security.<\/i><\/p>\n<h1>\n\t\tAxis news\n\t<\/h1>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/en\/blog\/2025\/10\/01\/scientific-welcome-to-victoria-abrahamyan\/\" title=\"Scientific home - Welcome to Victoria Abrahamyan!\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/Victoria-Abrahamyan-copie-landscape-e515c597a9fa7861f310071e19730995-.png\" alt=\"Victoria Abrahamyan copy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"526\" width=\"394\" title=\"Victoria Abrahamyan copy\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tScientific home - Welcome to Victoria Abrahamyan!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/en\/blog\/2025\/09\/30\/walter-bruyere-ostells-and-benoit-pouget-book-chapters-guillaume-piketty-getting-out-of-war\/\" title=\"Walter Bruy\u00e8re-Ostells and Beno\u00eet Pouget, book chapters (Guillaume Piketty, Sortir de la guerre)\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/Sortir-de-la-guerre-landscape-d42429291f3e4f1f7d9ac53de9a64afc-.jpg\" alt=\"Emerging from war\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"759\" width=\"500\" title=\"Emerging from war\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWalter Bruy\u00e8re-Ostells and Beno\u00eet Pouget, book chapters (Guillaume Piketty, Sortir de la guerre)\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/en\/blog\/2025\/09\/23\/call-for-papers-military-history-consortium-3rd-annual-conference\/\" title=\"Call for Papers &quot; Military History Consortium 3rd Annual Conference &quot; (3-5 June 2026, Aix-en-Provence)\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/ethiopian-paintin-battle-of-adwa-1896-638935538584809706-landscape-29f524d78772b8b73e80ee58c03b8985-.jpg\" alt=\"ethiopian-paintin-battle-of-adwa-1896-638935538584809706\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"492\" width=\"874\" title=\"ethiopian-paintin-battle-of-adwa-1896-638935538584809706\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCall for Papers \" Military History Consortium 3rd Annual Conference \" (3-5 June 2026, Aix-en-Provence)\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t<!-- .pp-content-posts -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home \u00bb Research \u00bb Area 5.
