Political crises, natural disasters, and pandemics render environments in which they rage uncertain. In the case of an armed conflict, such as that of the so-called Anglophone Crisis in Cameroon, emergency situations require a rapid, urgent response from the populations affected. The choices of host environments are intimately linked to their survival. This study examines the factors that led to the concentration of many internally displaced persons (IDPs) from the Anglophone Crisis in the French-speaking Grassfields region. In light of the data collected, we can say that the anteriority of civilizational relations between the Grassfields peoples, historical experiences, and the urban phenomenon are the main factors attracting internally displaced persons from the Anglophone Crisis in Cameroon to the French-speaking Grassfields.

By considering sport as one of its priorities «to improve races and civilize the african peoples», the democratization of sports practices advocated with the African societies since the interwar period, and especially by France of Vichy (1940-1944), took place in a heterogeneous way. In spite of a quasi-total disagreement on the real nature of the popular sport, army training, physical education and high competition sport, all these socio-educational practices have early been re-exported by school towards the civil clubs. Access to archived data reveals that the passage of the amateurism to professionalization is link itself to the economic, political and diplomatic fields. The study suggests, according to the results and the typologies raised from the specific characteristics of each period, a rediscovery of the mode of organization of sport in Africa by the actual insertion of the practices in a logic of production for a better diffusion of the african local culture.

Within the context of globalisation and the formation of new continental regionalisms, a set of transformations are leading to the reformulation of identities. In North America particularly, several factors are at work, notably questions relative to the definition of modernity, to the form of cosmopolitanism, and to the inclusion of various actors formerly left in the dark (women, native peoples, etc.). Various agents, such as transnational corporations, are even active in promoting these new identities, something which emerges in the recycled advertising that they shape out of previous publicity language. The intersection of these social, economic, and political factors constitutes the problem of spaces of reference to identity and transborder definitions of identity.

AbstractThe authors present and analyse the theoretical project of Dipesh Chakrabarty, an important figure of Postcolonial Studies, aiming at « provincializing » some European sociohistorical developments, as well as the critic of Eurocentrism made by John M. Hobson, a well-known advocate of Neo-Weberian Historical Sociology in International Relations. Following the presentation of these contributions to Postcolonial approaches and to the turn toward anti-Eurocentrism in Neo-Weberian analysis, the authors argue that these theories tend to build on a critic of a long-deserted kind of Marxism, which makes them disregard the articulation between the modernity of international relations and the emergence of a global capitalist order. The authors conclude by stating the importance of a return to classical social theory to sharpen the evaluation of the role of past and contemporary Eurocentric practices in international relations.
