  • The Securitisation of Islam in Europe

    21 April 2009, by Cesari Jocelyne
    This paper summarises the main hypotheses and results of the research on the securitisation of Islam. It posits that the securitisation of Islam is not only a speech act but also a policy-making process that affects the making of immigration laws, multicultural policies anti discrimination measures and security policies. The paper deconstructs and analyses the premises of such policies as well as their consequences on the civic and political participation of Muslims.

  • Thinking seriously about crime

    10 February 2009, by Young Jock
    The author develops a theoratical, sociological framework on crime in the frame of public security debates. Once he summed the sociological data, showing «pyramids» corresponding to the status of the most concerned groups of «criminals» (due to their social position, «race» and gender, etc.), Young criticises six of the most well known theoretical explanation models.

  • Social Exclusion as Concept and Policy Template in the European Union

    1 December 2008, by Daly Mary
    The working paper sums the debates about the so called «social inclusion process» of the EU. It proceeds in three parts. In the first I introduce the concept of social exclusion, tracing its origins and outlining its fundamental features. The set of meanings given to the concept by academic work serves as the counterfactual for the analysis of the EU’s interpretation.
  • Les violences policières au G8 de Gênes

    18 août 2008, par Palidda Salvatore
    Les faits qui se sont produits lors du G8 de Gênes (19-21 juillet 2001) ont fait l’objet de milliers d’images photo, de centaines de vidéos de témoins et de professionnels, de milliers de pages d’actes judiciaires, documents publics, reportages tv et articles des médias, de dizaines de débats et aussi de nombreuses publications. Cependant, il reste toujours forte la demande de compréhension en particulier de certains aspects.
  • Violences policières et violences des pouvoirs

    18 août 2008, par Palidda Salvatore
    Avant de proposer quelques remarques concernant les problèmes de la recherche sur les violences policières (et tout d’abord l’absence –emblématique- de statistiques à ce propos), ce texte propose une perspective interprétative et d’analyse, donc quelques éléments de réflexion théorique et méthodologique. Il s’agit d’une tentative de comprendre les violences policières comme l’aspect des pratiques des agents des polices qui s’impose comme l’option de gestion violente du désordre aux dépens de la négociation pacifique.

    17 June 2008, by Lemos Sara, Portes Jonathan
    Migrants coming to the UK from Eastern Europe have not caused unemployment or stopped UK workers from finding jobs, according to research published today. The research, ‘The impact of migration from the new European Union Member States on native workers’ concludes that new migrants have not had an impact on the numbers claiming unemployment benefits in the UK, or had a significant impact on wages.

    28 May 2008, by Geyer Florian
    Listening carefully, one might have heard the sigh of relief breathed in Brussels and other EU capitals on 3 May 2007, when the Court of Justice of the European Communities (ECJ or Court) eventually delivered its first judgment on the European arrest warrant (EAW), giving the green light to this flagship instrument of EU judicial co-operation in criminal matters.
  • The Treaty of Lisbon and the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice: Exceptionalism and Fragmentation in the European Union

    26 May 2008, by Carrera Sergio , Geyer Florian
    The Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ) constitutes one of the policies which will be more affected by the new institutional configurations that will be brought about by the Reform Treaty signed in Lisbon on the 13 December 2007 (Treaty of Lisbon). These policies, traditionally denominated as Justice and Home Affairs, have been subject to various criticisms calling for the need to reform and improve their current institutional, legal and procedural structures.
