Tous les six mois, Cogito présente une sélection de nos recherches récentes en faisant la part belle aux approches comparatives et aux travaux interdisciplinaires. Deux démarches développées par l'un de nos fondateurs, Élie Halévy, dont le parcours intellectuel est ici retracé. Si des questions d'actualité sont aussi analysées dans ce numéro - comme celle de la dette publique liée à la pandémie - nos chercheurs et chercheuses décortiquent également des tendances de fond, telles que la renaissance des mouvements d'auto-justice ou l'évolution de nos rapports à l'argent.

The contribution of social sciences is more than ever essential for citizens, communities and leaders facing the crisis caused by Covid-19. The issues it touches upon - economic, social and health policy, organisation of public authorities and companies, trust in governmental bodies, inequalities, globalisation ... - are familiar to the academic community of Sciences Po. Through their analyses and new research projects, our researchers are responding today to the fundamental need to grasp the political, economic and social impacts of this pandemic in the short and long term.

The CIVICA Research project aims at endowing CIVICA - the European University of Social Sciences in order to  implement an ambitious and innovative research strategy. It received €2m funding from the EUprogramme Horizon 2020 to enable researchers to conduct joint scientific activities.

For the last eight years, the QS World University Rankings by Subject, which compares more than 1,400 universities worldwide, has consistently confirmed the quality of research and teaching at Sciences Po, in comparison with the best universities in the social sciences.

In the QS 2021 ranking unveiled on March 3, 2021, Sciences Po maintains its  worldwide second place in Politics, placing behind Harvard University and ahead of Oxford. Sciences Po thus remains Europe’s leading university in this discipline.

Division or Solidarity In Times of Lockdown

Online International Debate on 28 January 7 pm - 9.30 pm (Paris time)

While we know that the lockdown unveiled and increased societal inequalities, we also witnessed the emergence of unexpected solidarity movements. To better understand these phenomena and their possible development, we must examine them in depth.

Social groups and individuals have always moved, more or less permanently. These moves, in all their diversity over time and space, feature many motives, trajectories, and repercussions – hence the imperative to analyse them with an equally multifaceted focus. The numerous research projects conducted at Sciences Po, particularly within the Migration and Diversity group, reflect this and seek to develop new approaches. This dossier presents an overview of their insights:
