海外直播b站

The Centre for International Peace and Security Studies at 海外直播b站 (CIPSS) and Universit茅 de Montr茅al (CEPSI) brings together researchers interested by issues related to international peace, security, global governance, international organizations, and international cooperation. It is one of few research centres in Canada to be both bilingual and based at two different universities.

The Centre was previously known as the Research Group on International Security (REGIS), a joint program in security studies between UdeM and 海外直播b站 Faculty. REGIS was founded by T.V. Paul (海外直播b站) and Michel Fortmann (UdeM) in 1996. Currently, Jennifer Welsh is the Director of the 海外直播b站 branch, while Theodore McLauchlin is the Director of the UdeM branch. Megan Bradley is CIPSS Associate Director. CEPSI/CIPSS now has 28 member researchers at the two universities, and each year, it welcomes numerous graduate students at 海外直播b站 and at Universit茅 de Montr茅al.

CEPSI/CIPSS facilitates research through public activities such as the weekly CIPSS/CEPSI Speaker Series and the annual Graduate Student Conference. CEPSI/CIPSS鈥� Speaker Series runs weekly from September to April and seeks to offer opportunities for emerging and well-known IR scholars from across the world the chance to share their work, to create a forum for discussion and debate among members, to contribute to public debate on critical contemporary issues, and to give 海外直播b站 and UdeM graduate students the chance to interact with researchers from other universities.

The Centre for the Study of Democratic Citizenship (CSDC) promotes excellence in scientific research in an essential niche by supporting research, the training of the next generation of scientists, and knowledge mobilization on the functioning of democracy. It is an unparalleled cluster in the Quebec ecosystem of scientific research by approaching democracy from the angle of citizenship, the political role that individuals play within their society and the capacity of institutions to meet their needs and desires. It also stands out for its strength in methodology, an element that is all the more crucial as the ways of doing research are transforming at lightning speed with the emergence of new tools and large sets of digital data.

The CSDC brings together researchers from several disciplines, at various stages of their careers and active in several regions of Quebec. It currently has close to fifty faculty members spread across 10 universities and one college, and approximately 200 student and postdoctoral members.

The Centre de recherche en 茅thique/Centre for Research in Ethics (CR脡) brings together researchers who address ethical questions from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Our core team consists of more than 77 co-researchers based at 11 universities and colleges in the province of Qu茅bec, complemented by 88 collaborators from other parts of Canada as well as other parts of the world.听

The University of Montreal and 海外直播b站 have jointly promoted research and teaching on the European Union since 2000.听Heir to the first Jean Monnet Chair established outside Europe in 1993, the Jean Monnet Center Montr茅al brings together diverse researchers and students who work in a bilingual environment and are engaged with decision makers, the business world , youth, and civil society.

GRENPEC (The Global Research Network on Peaceful Change) is a newly established research network organized by a group of leading scholars and prominent institutions worldwide, focusing on the study of peaceful change at the international, regional, and domestic levels. We conceive the notion of peaceful change varying along a continuum from minimalist conceptions stressing international change and transformation without the use of military force and war, to maximalist ideas that entail not only the absence of war, but also the achievement of sustained non-violent cooperation for creating a more just world order.

The goal of the network is to encourage scholars to engage these two challenging topics together, especially the causes, sources, mechanisms and consequences of peaceful change at the international, regional, and domestic levels. As an emerging and promising research program, the study of 鈥減eaceful change鈥� has generated substantial academic and policy interests among IR scholars and practitioners. This is especially pertinent as we are in the throes of a new round of systemic conflict involving rising China and established powers, such as the US, as well as non-traditional security challenges such as the Covid-19 and climate change induced disasters.

The rise of new centers of powers and pressures generated by globalization have brought forth the need to understand peaceful change an urgent necessity. Nations spend tremendous energy and resources on military security through the acquisition and use of arms. The attention devoted to security through peaceful means and peaceful change is minimal. For instance, we have limited understanding of the conditions under which a rising power like China be accommodated as a global power without war. We also have limited understanding of how and when regions transform into peaceful orders or the reverse happens. As scholars with an interest in peaceful change, we are making important research contributions, but most of our works remain in our specialized domains. This research network is a loosely organized group of scholars and institutions worldwide who are engaged in the study of peaceful change at the international and regional levels. It will make new initiatives and linkup existing projects so as to publicize them and bring them together in a platform freely accessible to all.

SPEQUE 2000 took place in Quebec City; the President of the organization was a 海外直播b站 MA student. All documentation and most discussions take place in French. In years in which strong interest is shown in forming a team graduate and law students will be eligible to apply for it.

World Islamic and Middle East Studies Program

The undergraduate programs in听World Islamic and Middle East Studies听offer students language-based interdisciplinary training about the Islamic world.
