We cannot wait until tomorrow to reduce our blows to the environment. Their effects are worsening by the day and have been doing so for too long. This is the crucial challenge addressed in the 5th issue of Cogito, devoted to the research and initiatives of a group of Sciences Po researchers thinking together about this question. This issue also presents research on economic and political democracy, public action, international trade, the political dimensions of the law, and the devastation in Yemen. You will also meet two recent PhD graduates awarded for their theses. Finally, you will learn how an innovative research project is formed.

That Sciences Po continues to be attractive as a global centre for research was proved this year with the arrival of 18 new academics. As well as contributing to the university’s network and research output, these new additions to the team will play a vital role in teaching, introducing their students to the latest developments in humanities and the social sciences.
