Series surpervised by Rémi Lefebvre and Marie Saiget.
This series gathers works concerned with the diverse aspects of contemporary politics.
The various spaces studied include territories, arenas and other state, international or local configurations, where politics unfold in their moving and varying forms. The aim is to better understand the different forms of the political discourse, the multiplicity of the spheres involved (actors, methods of governance, "crises"…) and the diversity of militant practices and mobilization patterns.
This series presents itself as a space of reflection on nascent mechanisms, a space questioning the boundaries of politics and encouraging the exploration of untrodden paths—as opposed to more conventional methods (power, elections, government)—in the approach of politics. The series also puts forward comparative studies, so as to better comprehend the major international stakes behind the evolution of political practices. Last but not least, because we think that politics can be better understood when it is confronted with history, sociology, anthropology and other domains such as the legal one, Espaces Politiques promotes interdisciplinary approaches. The series brings together collective works, scientific essays, survey results, etc. of both experienced and young researchers.
Public policies are permanently targeting, producing and categorizing "publics ". It seems an obvious and well-known fact. However, these operations are rarely considered as central issues for policy analysis. Based on original empirical researches, gathering several policy sectors (immigration, public health, public participation, open data,...
Social democracy is a challenge to labour relations that, since the 2000s, many reforms - Sapin, Rebsamen, El Khomri, Macron - have sought to address.

Sociologie politique des élections municipales de 2014 en France
Espaces politiques
In 2014, French local elections have led to significant political changes : left-wing parties lost many cities while a dozen mayors from the National Front were elected. Simultaneously, the persistance of more traditional practices in campaigning and in the selection of candidates could also be observed.
The social history of political ideas refers to an authentic project of disciplinary refoundation : to embed the history of polical ideas in social sciences.
The question of impunity is actually experiencing a renewed interest. In its name, democratic societies build and negociate the moral borders of what they consider unbearable

In a Europe of multi-crises, weakened by the Brexit, the fragility of the Euro zone, rising populism, the pressure of migration, Islamist terrorism and the unpredictable nature of Russian foreign policy, Germany is more than ever a key element for stability. It is therefore not as in the past the "German question" that threatens European cohesion..

Engagements musulmans dans les quartiers populaires
Espaces politiques
Islam is a contentious issue in the French political field. However, avoiding the globalizing frames that prevail in the public sphere, this book shows how islam can embody a resource for the mobilization of actors who rarely do, especially in the French secular context of laïcity.
Comment les partis politiques tiennent leurs militants
Espaces politiques
Jean-Marie Le Pen's exclusion from the National Front or the management of "slingers" inside of the Socialist Party provoked debates and political disputes. These illustrative cases recall the centrality of partisan indiscipline as a hot topic. They suggest that political parties are not only organizations to which we adhere, but also institutions
