Institut de Recherche sur l'Asie du Sud-Est Contemporaine

IRASEC

Missions


L’Irasec a pour vocation de développer la recherche française sur l’Asie du Sud-Est contemporaine. Les projets de recherches développés par l’Institut portent sur les évolutions politiques, sociales, économiques et environnementales ainsi que sur les dynamiques d’intégration régionale des onze pays de la région – Birmanie, Brunei, Cambodge, Indonésie, Laos, Malaisie, Philippines, Singapour, Thaïlande, Timor Leste et Viêt Nam. Aux expertises portées collectivement ou séparément sur les différents pays du sud-est asiatique, vient s’ajouter l’Asean pris comme telle pour objet d’étude.


L’IRASEC s’est donné quatre missions principales, à savoir :


La recherche fondamentale coordonnée par une équipe de chercheurs CNRS en détachement, de maîtres de conférence accueillis en délégation, de jeunes chercheurs (doctorants, docteurs et post doctorants) pouvant bénéficier d’une bourse et/ou d’un soutien à la recherche ; il s’agit dans tous les cas de spécialistes du sud-est asiatique en sciences politiques, en sciences économiques et en sciences sociales (anthropologie, sociologie, géographie, droit, histoire contemporaine).


L’expertise des enjeux sociaux et économiques contemporains. Basés dans les différents pays de l’Asie du Sud-Est, les chercheurs de l’Irasec sont au plus près des réalités et des recompositions sociales et géopolitiques de la région. Les analyses de l’Irasec dépassent le seul domaine scientifique : elles intéressent directement les acteurs et les décideurs du développement, ainsi qu’un plus large public ouvert aux enjeux contemporains du sud-est asiatique.


La publication scientifique : l’Irasec déploie un éventail diversifié de collections éditoriales. Qu’il s’agisse des monographies nationales ou transnationales, ou qu’il s’agisse des publications en ligne (Carnet de l’IRASEC ou Notes de l’IRASEC). En tant que tête de pont de la recherche en Asie du Sud-Est, l’Institut porte à travers ses publications un regard croisé et pluridisciplinaire sur la région. Nos ouvrages, en langues française et anglaise, évalués par un comité de lecture, sont publiés en partenariat avec des éditeurs faisant autorité dans le milieu scientifique (Éditions du Cnrs, Les Indes savantes, Perrin, NUS Press, ISEAS Publishing, I.B. Tauris, Palgrave Macmillan, etc.).


La transmission des connaissances et la diffusion du savoir par le biais de conférences, de colloques et de publications. L’Irasec organise des événements scientifiques avec nos partenaires locaux au sein des pôles académiques de la région (universités, séminaires d’instituts de recherche, Alliances françaises, etc.) à l’occasion de la sortie des ouvrages qu’il coordonne.

Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies

IASS

The Potsdam Nobel Laureates Symposium “Global Sustainability – A Nobel Cause” brought together internationally renowned scientists and decision-makers under the patronage of German Chancellor Dr Angela Merkel in 2007. The symposium produced the highly regarded Potsdam Memorandum, which calls for a joint effort to tap into “all sources of innovation and invention” to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. Specifically, it identifies the need for a new “global contract” to increase sustainability in the age of the Anthropocene.


From this starting point, representatives of the German Science Alliance developed a concept for a novel research institute in 2008, from which the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) emerged. The IASS was officially founded in 2009 as a joint initiative of the German Federal Government, the Federal State of Brandenburg and the research organisations of the German Science Alliance. Potsdam was chosen as the location for the institute due to its excellent research landscape with world-class research institutions such as the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam - GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, as well as its close proximity to politics, media and non-governmental organisations in Berlin.


In its research the IASS aims to merge all relevant types of knowledge – both within and outside science – in order to jointly find solutions that help us initiate, support and scientifically accompany the transformation to sustainable development. In accordance with its mission, the IASS involves a wide range of stakeholders from all parts of society in a transdisciplinary process with the goal of developing solutions, and it does not view these stakeholders as mere addressees of the institute’s findings at the end of the research process. Our transdisciplinary research processes are based on excellent disciplinary and interdisciplinary research; at the same time, the questions they raise and the results they produce feed into such research. The IASS does not merely work to create the knowledge needed for action; it also discusses its findings with representatives of politics, industry and civil society and furthers the transformation process through this kind of consultation.

Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy

IATP

Mission statement


IATP works locally and globally at the intersection of policy and practice to ensure fair and sustainable food, farm and trade systems.


Rooted in family farms


In the mid-1980s, family farmers across America were in the fight of their lives. Prices had dropped below the cost of production. Family farmers were told they were inefficient and they had to either get big or get out. Deeply flawed national and international policies were the root cause of the crisis. A galvanizing effort to save the family farm helped spawn the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP). In 1986, IATP began documenting the underlying causes of America's rural crisis and proposing policies that would benefit farmers, consumers, rural communities and the environment. Read more about IATP's history


Facing globalization


IATP works with organizations around the world to analyze how global trade agreements impact domestic farm and food policies. Alongside a global coalition, IATP advocates for fair trade policies that promote strong health standards, labor and human rights, the environment and, most fundamentally, democratic institutions.


Building sustainability


We are developing alternative economic models that include clean sources of energy such as wind power and biofuel that would spur rural development. We're working with landowners to form cooperatives that promote sustainable forest management. We're advocating for green businesses and farms that reduce toxic runoff into the Great Lakes and Mississippi River.


Safe food, healthy ecosystems


We are working to stop the overuse of antibiotics in agriculture and aquaculture, while limiting the release of mercury and other toxic pollutants that fall onto farmland and enter the food supply. IATP is also monitoring the impact of genetically engineered crops on the environment, human health and farmer income.

Institute for Food and Development Policy

Food First, also known as the Institute for Food and Development Policy, is a nonprofit organization based in Oakland, CaliforniaUSA. Founded in 1975 by Frances Moore Lappé and Joseph Collins, it describes itself as a "people's think tank and education-for-action center".[1]

Its mission is “to eliminate the injustices that cause hunger”. According to the Food First website, its main goal is to forge food sovereignty for human rights and sustainable livelihoods, and to do so it has three programs of development: building local agri-foods systems, farmers forming food sovereignty, and democratizing development.[2] The organization is meant to offer policy analysis on poverty, agriculture, and development, and is highly critical of the policies implemented by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The organization focuses on the Green Revolution which was supported in the 1970s and which did not produce the development people hoped for. Instead it put in place a system that has high input-costs, but does not produce a yield much higher than traditional farming methods.[3] There has been a recent resurgence of Green Revolution ideas, especially with the large-scale support of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and high-yield-variety agriculture. Food First claims that these policies will only further global inequalities, and has produced several policy briefs stating that the way to establish fair and effective development is through local sustainable agriculture.

Institute for Global Environmental Strategies

IGES

The Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) was established in March 1998 under an initiative of the Japanese government and with the support of Kanagawa Prefecture based on the “Charter for the Establishment of the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies”. The aim of the Institute is to achieve a new paradigm for civilization and conduct innovative policy development and strategic research for environmental measures, reflecting the results of research into political decisions for realising sustainable development both in the Asia-Pacific region and globally. IGES made the transition to a Public Interest Incorporated Foundation in April 2012.

Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation

Vision


IHME aspires to make available to the world high-quality information on population health, its determinants, and the performance of health systems. We seek to achieve this directly, by catalyzing the work of others, and by training researchers as well as policymakers. 


Mission


Our mission is to improve the health of the world’s populations by providing the best information on population health.

Institute for Human Rights and Business

IHRB

Companies can both positively and negatively impact the lives of their staff, the workers in their supply chains, the communities around their operations, and society more widely. Many of these negative impacts – large and small – are avoidable. If every business understood how its actions could undermine respect for human rights and took proactive steps to prevent their impacts, the world would be a different place. Responsible business prevents potential harms, ensures accountability and delivers lasting value. 

Founded in 2009, IHRB is the leading international think tank on business and human rights. IHRB’s mission is to shape policy, advance practice and strengthen accountability in order to make respect for human rights part of everyday business.

IHRB’s programmes are organised around key ‘flows’ fundamental to social and economic development, namely: flows of workers, flows of finance, flows of commodities and flows of information. These underpin IHRB’s work on migrant workers and the financial, extractives and ICT sectors respectively.  In addition, IHRB is developing a programme on human rights and mega-sporting events and is a founding partner in the development of the first wide-scale benchmark on corporate human rights performance.

IHRB works across its programmes with public and private sector partners in both developing and developed countries. In particular, IHRB has founded centres for responsible business in Myanmar, Kenya and Colombia that mirror its mission and activities at a local level

Institute for Law and Environmental Governance

ILEG

ILEG is an independent, non-profit public interest law and policy organization focused on promoting sustainable development. We work with local communities, governments, the private sector and civil society organizations (CSOs) to ensure fair, balanced and equitable development policy choices to improve peoples’ lives and protect the environment. Our work seeks to transform the way governments make decisions that affect the environment and natural resources on which livelihoods depend. We are dedicated to finding practical options that shift the ways governments make and implement laws and policies, the way businesses operate, and the way people actin relation to the environment.


Established in 2002, ILEG works mainly in Kenya and the wider Eastern Africa region. But our work has significant continental and global reach and influence. We work with our partners in Kenya, Africa and internationally to shape sustainable development decisions for the benefit of present and future generations.

Instituto de Economia

IE

O departamento de Economia e Planejamento Econômico (DEPE), do Instituto de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas (IFCH) da Unicamp iniciou suas atividades em 1968, com cursos de economia e planejamento econômico em nível de pós-graduação. Considera-se essa a data de nascimento do IE/Unicamp. O curso de graduação em Ciências Econômicas começa em 1970 e o Mestrado e o Doutorado em economia foram formalmente implementados ao longo daquela década (1974 e 1977, respectivamente). Em 1984, o departamento se transformou no Instituto de Economia (IE) e sua institucionalização seguiu seu caminho desde então. Nestes quase 50 anos, que se confundem com a história da Unicamp, não foram poucas nem desimportantes as contribuições do IE para a formação de quadros aos setores público e privado do país, a participação de seus alunos, docentes e pesquisadores no debate público sobre as grandes questões nacionais, e o reconhecimento de sua produção acadêmica.

Para além da variedade que felizmente marca o Instituto de Economia, talvez a sua característica principal seja um elevado grau de identidade de seus docentes, pesquisas e cursos, com uma determinada forma de enxergar as relações econômicas, a economia brasileira e sua forma de inserção no mundo. Esta identidade, que o distingue de outras instituições no Brasil e não significa ausência de críticas internas, é geralmente apresentada sob o título de “Escola de Campinas”.
