Descriptif et objectifs du cours
Ce cours a pour but de présenter le contenu, les enjeux et les lignes de force des sciences sociales telles qu’elles sont pratiquées en France. Par sciences sociales, on entend les sciences qui traitent des phénomènes sociaux, par opposition aux sciences de la nature. C’est le sens notamment de la formulation “agrégation de sciences sociales”. Ces sciences incluent notamment les disciplines suivantes : économie, sociologie, anthropologie, science politique, histoire, démographie, ethnographie. La psychanalyse se positionne surtout au niveau de l’individu et son cas sera simplement brièvement abordé dans l’introduction générale. Ces disciplines ne se pratiquent pas dans un huis clos national et des incursions seront faites à l’étranger en tant que de besoin ; la France est ici conçue comme un carrefour d’influences, développant au passage des caractéristiques spécifiques. L’ensemble est présenté de manière chronologique et thématique, en s’appuyant principalement sur les grands auteurs.

Course description and objectives
This course was designed for students destined for a career in international management and seeking to gain a personal understanding of the logics behind the cultural aspects of business practices. The teaching aims to broaden students’ perspectives, and enhance their ability to harness abstract cultural concepts and apply them to practical business contexts. This will deepen their understanding of the cultural dimension of business organizations in the light of related managerial considerations. Theoretical analysis and practical applications will prepare students to marketing management issues and organizational development choices. From the structuring of corporate identity to the design of brand image, students will learn about the cultural components of business activities. Teaching is done through thematic lectures, focused class discussions and simulated case study debates.
Students will gain practical insight into what constitutes culture and will correlate this with the relevant managerial imperatives of business development. They will work on defining the parameters of their own management philosophy, expressing a unique cultural vision. They will also develop a professional skillset with cultural value orientations and the ability to focus business activity around cultural prerogatives. This aims to enhance their propensity to manage and develop company culture through selected key values.

What is Country Risk? And what is not country risk? What is Sovereign risk? Why and how to differentiate it from country risk? What is the nexus of country risk? Is a banking crisis a country risk? Is the focus short-term or longer term? What are the drivers and the indicators that are most relevant in defining it? What is the impact of sovereign & country risks on other counterparty risks? What are non-sovereign country risks? What is Sovereign ESG risk?
Originally assessed as a part of general risks of cross-border lending and investments in the early 1980’s, country risk analysis has become much wider and now includes all types of risks, for investors, travellers, or anyone trying to compare countries to each other on a macro-level. This course, rather than analysing specifics of any one method, one institution or one school of theory, provides students with an overview of best practices. The course is taught in 3-hour discussions for a total of 36 hours over one semester. Country Risk Analysis is aimed at intermediate students in Economics/Finance/Political Science, and will provide an understanding of what drives country risk in a non-technical way, and how it is assessed in practice within rating agencies, international organisations, and financial institutions. A shorter version of the course, is also available in four sessions of 3 hours each (Taxonomy of country risks, core Sovereign risk drivers, default scenarios (fiscal, external, political), other country risks and Stress Testing).
General Course Outline (some minor changes may occur):
Compétence à acquérir :
The main objective of the course is to help students understand by identifying, classifying, and assessing economic, financial and political factors, the impact of country risk. On a more practical basis, students will be able to present data in a summarised way, study the main country risks, baseline view, and latest developments of country risk; identify and present the main downside risks.
First, we begin with a meta method on classifying country risk. In particular, we use risk taxonomy as a tool to classify country risk. The first objective is to make students quickly understand country risks in the context of their audience i.e. what risks are they most concerned with, and then to classify these risks. The classification will be done by impact, final risks and by drivers. They will learn how to avoid common pitfalls especially when reading the news when a country event arises. Then, with the information available, how to classify the most important risks currently in a specific country.
Second, we want to help understand the core drivers of country risk, and in particular the drivers of sovereign risk, and other country risks. They are the classic factors of economic growth and structural indicators (and recession risk), fiscal risks, external imbalance risks (BOP, FX, external financing), and political and institutional risks. All these risks are both analysed in the short and medium term. The same risks can be tailored to a specific sectoral risk: banking sector risks, corporate sector risks, household debt risks, shadow banking risks. Finally, we will analyse the other country risks (generally more for the FDI risks) such as country legal risk, country reputational risk, sustainability risks, and in particular the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) integration to sovereign risk, as well as other country operational risks (security, expropriation, corruption).
Third, the objective is to give students basic techniques of assessing country risk: Rather than teaching one unique way of assessing country risk, the course will provide students with a general set of skills and techniques, focusing on those techniques which are the most useful and practical, adapting method with the risks, using available data, and types of audiences. Three types of methodologies for country risk analyses will be analysed along with their strengths and weaknesses, as well as the main types of country reports: (i) the data/quantitative models and their assumptions, early warning indicators (ii) scoreboards and the example of the “Macroeconomic imbalance procedure scoreboard” of the EU; (iii) the mix methods: sovereign rating methodology used by the credit rating agencies and their evolution; and (iv) the typical text/ country risk reports, with the adaptation to the types to audiences.
Fourth, the course will help students understand the links between country risks. How a sudden stop can be the result of external shocks, fiscal risks, political crisis. How a BOP crisis leads to a FX crisis, Sovereign default. How economic performance can affect the financial sector and how a weak financial sector can negatively affect sovereign creditworthiness. How policies can improve/aggravate situations.

Course description and objectives
The increasing significance of the multinational enterprise (MNE) in the world economy has resulted in the importance of understanding not only MNEs as such, but also the actions of people working within these and similar multi-cultural organisations. This reality places demands on managers’ soft skills based on cultural knowledge and awareness. A key challenge will be to make the utmost of the cultural diversity of your staff, by fostering creativity instead of suppressing or ignoring differences.
Cross-Cultural Management (CCM) draws on research from several different disciplines such as international management, organisational behaviour, sociology, anthropology, ethnology and psychology. The CCM course will build on these various disciplines both in the content of the lectures and workshops but also in a group assignment.
The intention of the CCM course is to introduce you to some of this research in the context of working as a manager within a MNE, a multi-cultural organisation or as part of an international alliance or joint - venture. Cross-cultural management has developed under the influence of distinct paradigms.
We will focus on two main perspectives with their own assumptions, methodologies and implications for practice:

Overview
This is not a course about “dos” and “don’ts”. It is first and foremost about finding out about our own behaviours and about how other cultures see us. It involves stepping back from our own vision of things and trying to look at the world through a multitude of other lenses.
Cultures and cultural change do not just “pop” out of thin air. This course seeks to delve deep into the origins of variations in intercultural behaviour in a wide range of contexts (e.g. related to business, management, finance, psychology, sociology, geo-political, economic and legal issues etc.).
We will be covering behaviours from cultures (and sub-cultures) around the globe from the Americas to Europe to Asia. In one module we will explore how the beginnings of Arab culture could help explain problems today. The course will also be largely focussed on Asian cultures (China, India, Japan and Singapore especially).
Additionally, there is a tailor-made side to this course, which will encourage students to choose subjects for their written assignments that they have either always wished to explore or that will help them in their future projects.
Students will be provided with both hard and soft copies of a variety of subjects to read for homework.

Course Objectives
We are aiming at a better understanding and awareness of what makes cultures (national and sub-cultures).
This is a course that prepares our students for their future in any multi-cultural environment. Students who have either taken up positions in new cultures or who have pursued their studies abroad have shown their appreciation of how this course has provided them with cross-cultural insights, analytical tools and above all with confidence in their own ability to survive in a world of strange “otherness “.
To help the student develop a new way of approaching other national and sub-cultures, so that they can manage multi-cultural teams effectively.
To help students develop captors that will allow them to predict and iron out cross-cultural misunderstandings.
Learning Outcomes
By stepping back and looking at their own culture through the prisms of other cultures, students will learn how to adjust their levels of communication to others.
This course will moreover, provide students with knowledge and understanding of other cultures that will enable them not only to survive in a large variety of multi-cultural environments, but also to manage teams made up of either a culture that is foreign to them or of mixed-cultures.
Students will develop tools, which will help them understand what motivates group behaviour. They will also be more comfortable when presenting their work projects to a foreign audience and for instance, when negotiating in foreign countires / a multi-cultural environment.

“Data-driven marketing is the next normal” McKinsey claimed in 2021. From customer segmentation to the analysis of the effects of a marketing campaign, all the way to sentiment analysis on consumer reviews, data can be leveraged in every step of a marketing strategy. But while the use cases for data in marketing are numerous, and the potential for increased value exponential, the challenges faced by the data-driven marketer are also plenty: collecting quality data, cleaning, analyzing and processing those data sources, identifying a machine learning strategy to solve a specific issue, productionizing a data-driven marketing product, etc. This course will provide future young professionals with the tools and mindset to approach any data science problem, and autonomously design and implement an end-to-end project based on marketing data.

Course description and objectives
Policymakers, economists and individuals too often rely on simple analytical frameworks to analyze and forecast key dimensions of human life, where averages and likely outcomes prevail. Yet the world is increasingly characterized by extreme events that require a better understanding of their occurrence and of their economic and social implications.
From the financial crisis of 2008 that destroyed assets and jobs for millions of people across the globe; to climate-change related extreme events such as heatwaves, mega-storms and rising sea levels; and most recently to the COVID-19 pandemic which has dramatically changed our everyday life, economic policies need to incorporate and plan ahead for these extreme events using appropriate tools and responses.
This course focuses on the COVID-19 pandemic to explore how an unprecedented crisis of this magnitude has impacted the global economy. The course highlights the major macro-economic implications of this global health crisis using common economic modeling frameworks, and analyzes the fiscal, monetary and global aid responses to the pandemic. The course also explores how the pandemic has exacerbated poverty and widened inequalities, especially income and gender inequality, and examines the impacts of COVID-19 on the labor market and the future of jobs. A special focus is given to the health economics of the pandemics and the economics of vaccines production and distribution. The course concludes with potential economic lessons to be learned from the pandemic to tackle the forthcoming risks, namely increased global conflicts and the climate crisis.

Course description and objectives
The first decades of the XXIst century have been decisive for the future of Europe. Several Central and Eastern European countries as well as some Southern European countries, have integrated the European Union. Today, the EU is facing several challenges.
The Economic and Monetary Union, the creation of the Euro zone with the settlement of the single currency within a limited but growing number of member countries have thoroughly modified the relations between the European Union and the rest of the world economy.
The governance of the European Union is questioned with more than 25 members states. With the Brexit, a member state has for the first time decided to leave the European Union. The immigration crisis raised the debate on Schengen and the fundamental freedoms.
The European Union has long been committed to international efforts to tackle climate change and felt the duty to set an example through robust policy-making at home. The EU is actively promoting Europe’s transition to a low-carbon society, and is updating its rules in order to facilitate the necessary private and public investment in the clean energy transition. This should not only be good for the planet, but also good for the economy and good for consumers.
During the seminar, different themes and policies will be explored among them:

Descriptif et objectifs du cours
Nous étudions dans ce cours la place de Paris dans l’histoire de l’art, et plus précisément nous enquêtons sur l’existence de trois grands musées, dans l’ordre chronologique : le musée du Louvre, le musée d’Orsay et le Centre Pompidou.
Pour les étudiants étrangers à Dauphine, ces musées sont connus et réputés, mais ce qui les sépare n’est pas très clair : est-ce une raison historique ? Chronologique ? Des mouvements artistiques différents ? Une volonté politique ?
Objectifs:
Les objectifs de cette classe sont de développer les capacités à interpréter l’art aujourd’hui, en comprenant les changements majeurs qui ont eu lieu au XIXème siècle, particulièrement lorsque Paris était la ville des profondes et radicales évolutions artistiques.
Les activités dans la classe permettront aux étudiants de construire une méthode et de l’utiliser, pour observer, analyser et interpréter des œuvres comme des peintures, sculptures et bâtiments.
La différence entre les 3 musées d’art principaux à Paris est une référence constante pour devenir capable de comprendre les connexions d’une œuvre d’art avec la société, les mouvements passés ou futurs, and la situation de l’art aujourd’hui.
Les étudiants seront amenés à maîtriser le français oral de niveau B1 pour progresser au long du semestre au niveau B2 (comprendre et utiliser les registres de langues, les expressions, les phrases complexes). Ils utiliseront chaque semaine le français pour converser avec le professeur et débattre entre étudiants, par groupe ou en classe complète. Le français écrit sera utilisé à chaque séance pour des prises de notes, questionnaires, et lors de la rédaction des 2 essais et de l’examen final. A la fin du semestre, les compétences écrites sont celles de la description, de l’argumentation, de l’analyse et de l’élaboration d’idées personnelles.
Compétence à acquérir :
Compétences à acquérir
La méthode pour analyser l’art représente la capacité d’observer, de poser des questions et de justifier une interprétation de n’importe quelle œuvre d’art. Après le semestre, les étudiants seront capables de commencer une interprétation (le message, l’idée, l’intention d’une œuvre), basée sur une observation générale et détaillée. Ils seront capables de la faire en français, en utilisant un vocabulaire spécifique et des références à l’histoire de l’art, ainsi qu’une large base de connaissances sur la ville de Paris.

Paris est-il une fête ?
C'est à cette question, écho direct au titre français de l'œuvre autobiographique d'Hemingway, que l'on tentera de répondre ici, car il s'agit bien d'interroger l'expérience parisienne que vous allez vivre pendant ce semestre.
Et puisque l'on écrit comme on lit, nous étudierons une sélection de textes littéraires d'époques, de formes, de styles variés qui constitueront ensuite, le cadre d'exercices d'écriture.
Cet atelier est conçu comme :
– une invitation à découvrir la beauté de la langue française par l'objet qu'est la littérature
– une initiation au plaisir de la lecture pour soi en langue étrangère au travers d'une sélection de travaux, adaptés au niveau, d'écrivains reconnus pour la qualité de leur style
– une analyse des outils linguistiques utilisés et leur mise en pratique (grammaire, conjugaison, vocabulaire, argumentation)
– un travail de lecture à voix haute et de diction
– une opportunité de construire le récit de sa propre expérience parisienne
Tous ces points seront soigneusement adaptés aux descripteurs B1 du CECRL.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :
Nous étudions dans ce cours la place de Paris dans l’histoire de l’art, et plus précisément nous enquêtons sur l’existence de trois grands musées, dans l’ordre chronologique : le musée du Louvre, le musée d’Orsay et le Centre Pompidou.
Pour les étudiants étrangers à Dauphine, ces musées sont connus et réputés, mais ce qui les sépare n’est pas très clair : est-ce une raison historique ? Chronologique ? Des mouvements artistiques différents ? Une volonté politique ?
Les objectifs de cette classe sont de développer les capacités à interpréter l’art aujourd’hui, en comprenant les changements majeurs qui ont eu lieu au XIXème siècle, particulièrement lorsque Paris était la ville des profondes et radicales évolutions artistiques.
Les activités dans la classe permettront aux étudiants de construire une méthode et de l’utiliser, pour observer, analyser et interpréter des œuvres comme des peintures, sculptures et bâtiments.
La différence entre les 3 musées d’art principaux à Paris est une référence constante pour devenir capable de comprendre les connexions d’une œuvre d’art avec la société, les mouvements passés ou futurs, and la situation de l’art aujourd’hui.
Les étudiants seront amenés à maîtriser le français oral de niveau B1 pour progresser au long du semestre au niveau B2 (comprendre et utiliser les registres de langues, les expressions, les phrases complexes). Ils utiliseront chaque semaine le français pour converser avec le professeur et débattre entre étudiants, par groupe ou en classe complète. Le français écrit sera utilisé à chaque séance pour des prises de notes, questionnaires, et lors de la rédaction des 2 essais et de l’examen final. A la fin du semestre, les compétences écrites sont celles de la description, de l’argumentation, de l’analyse et de l’élaboration d’idées personnelles.
Plan du cours:
Compétence à acquérir :
La méthode pour analyser l’art correspond aux capacités d’observer, de poser des questions et de justifier une interprétation de n’importe quelle œuvre d’art. Après le semestre, les étudiants seront capables de commencer une interprétation (le message, l’idée, l’intention d’une œuvre), basée sur une observation générale et détaillée. Ils seront capables de le faire en français, en utilisant un vocabulaire spécifique et des références à l’histoire de l’art, ainsi qu’une large base de connaissances sur la ville de Paris.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :
Nous proposons pour ce cours une introduction aux concepts de base de la sociologie, dans leur application directe à des fins d’analyse de la société française. Les étudiants étrangers peuvent ainsi approfondir leur connaissance de la France, en observant les comportements des individus et des groupes sociaux et en discutant leurs observations grâce à la perspective sociologique (les fondateurs de la sociologie : Durkheim, Marx, Weber. Les sociologues d'aujourd'hui : Bourdieu, Boudon, Delphy, Illouz). L’analyse de documents, de statistiques et l’observation directe permettent de prendre une position active face aux phénomènes sociaux, tout en utilisant intensivement la langue française, à un niveau B2.
Compétence à acquérir :
Ce cours permet aux étudiants d’utiliser des concepts sociologiques pertinents pour analyser leur propre situation. Le semestre à Dauphine est une expérience sociologique en soi, et les outils d’observation et la méthodologie sont particulièrement utiles pour décrire et décoder l’environnement social. Les étudiants ont besoin d’une utilisation intense de la langue française, à l’écrit comme à l’oral, pour l’expression et la compréhension. Ils seront donc capables d’exprimer en français précis les résultats de leurs recherches, basés sur leurs expériences.
Mode de contrôle des connaissances :
La distribution numérique des notes dictera la note finale. Le cours est validé à partir de 10/20.
Participation en classe : Participation active en classe - c'est ce qui rend les classes vivantes et instructives. Venez à l'heure et préparé. La participation en classe est basée sur la qualité des commentaires, pas sur la quantité.
Politique d'examen : Lors de l'examen, les étudiants ne seront autorisés à apporter aucun document (sauf si autorisé par le professeur). Les absences non justifiées aux examens ou le défaut de fournir un justificatif entraîneront des notes nulles dans le calcul des moyennes numériques. Les examens sont recueillis à la fin des périodes d'examen.

Course Objectives
We intend to present the main principles of game theory and show how they can be used to understand economic, social and political phenomena. We will introduce the main ideas behind the theory in an accessible manner rather than their mathematical expression.
Learning Outcomes
Game theory is a mode of reasoning that applies to all encounters between humans and deserves a place in a general liberal arts education. We provide a general presentation of the main concepts of game theoretical concepts and many applications of these concepts (with a slight bias towards economic applications).

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :
With the emergence of #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter, gender and ‘racial’ questions often take centre stage in the media, politics and the arts today. They have also become crucial to the communication strategies of many businesses and corporations. In this course we will examine contemporary representations of gender and gender relations and their intersections with other important aspects of identity and social relations in multicultural societies, particularly ‘race’ and ethnicity. Students will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of media and cultural content — advertising, business and corporate communications, the music industry, the film industry, TV series, the visual arts, and literature. The objective of the course is two-fold: on the one hand, to sharpen students’ powers of analysis and of observation in relation to media outlets they may already be familiar with by studying them through the prisms of gender and ‘race’, and, on the other, to enhance their cultural knowledge and ‘cultural capital’ by discovering new or less familiar media and cultural content.

The Paris Agreement, reached on 12 December 2015, represents the first comprehensive global climate agreement. The treaty contains many positive provisions that aim to build a new architecture for the global climate regime under the aegis of the UNFCCC. This course will offer students an in-depth analysis of the main provisions contained in the Paris Agreement and the new climate regime it ushers in.
The EU has always been a leader on environmental issues, both from a domestic and a foreign policy perspective, enacting some of the most far-reaching climate and renewable energy policies in the world. EU climate and energy legislation is also supplemented by extensive policies at the national level. The course will examine both internal EU policies and external relations in the field of climate change. This will include a particular focus on the new European Green Deal, other internal EU climate and energy policies, as well as how the EU negotiates within the UNFCCC. By contrast, climate politics in United States have been more volatile. While President Obama sought to launch a number of federal climate initiatives, the Republican Party has consistently demonstrated scepticism towards climate science, with President Trump taking the decision to withdraw the US from the Paris Agreement. While Joe Biden’s election as President has opened the door to America’s return within the Paris Accord, his administration still faces a number of obstacles and domestic opposition for an ambitious federal climate agenda.
As a result, non-state and sub-national actors around the world including cities, states, the private sector and civil society, have a key role to play in compensating for inadequacies at the national level. For instance, parts of the US such as California and New York, as well as cities such as Paris, have become world leaders in enacting climate policies at the local level. Hence, this course will examine the emerging framework of multi-level and polycentric governance, including the role of non-state and sub-national actors as building blocks within the climate regime. Energy and climate policies in the EU will be compared with those in the US and in other countries such as China in order to highlight differences in approach, as well as contrasting perspectives on the future of the global climate regime.

One or two required readings for most sessions, which will be uploaded on Moodle. Optional readings will also be suggested. Students will need to submit a final term paper (2000 words, 50% of the final grade) where they will choose their topic from a proposed list of 12 subjects, based on the material covered in class. Students will have the option of also preparing an oral presentation in a group on a subject of their choosing (15-20 minutes, 40% of the final grade), in relation to the material covered in class. Oral presentations will take place at the beginning of every class. Students who are unable or choose not to prepare an oral presentation will also have the option of writing a second term paper instead (in that case, each term paper will count for 45% of the final grade). The remaining 10% is a participation grade, which takes into account not only participation in class, but also attendance and punctuality.
The passing grade for a course is 10/20.

Overview
The class will seek to interrogate today’s global fabrication, circulations and consumption of media, and its impact on the creation of identities. We will explore concerns about the globalised homogenisation of media cultures, the survival of indigenous cultures, the activities and processes of cultural bricolage and creolisation (Hannerz). We will analyse issues related to industrial concentration of media power, but also processes of decentralisation, (g)localisation, and media protectionism. With examples and case-studies of media fabrication and media consumption drawn from various cultures around the world, the class will seek to understand the links between the circulation of global images together with the circulation of goods, capital, people (diaspora) — and its roles in the fabrication of both global and local identities. The issues discussed behind the circulation of images will touch on economics, politics, cultural studies, anthropology, and development studies, to explore the power configurations at work behind the global circulation of media. Is there a nascent global imaginary, is the world fragmenting at dizzying speed in multiple and constantly re-negotiated mediascapes (Appadurai) – or is global media continuously being repurposed in endless localized processes of identity production?
Course Schedule (12 weeks)
1 The global media village? Media, culture, societies

Course description and objectives
More than thirty years after its foundation, Lebanese Hezbollah remains an organization difficult to understand. An Islamist terrorist group dedicated to destroying Israel or the first Arab national Resistance to have ever defeated Tel-Aviv's troops, a patriotic and respectable party or a fascist network having managed to control all levers of Lebanese political life... what exactly is Hezbollah? How did it acquire such an important role in Lebanese politics? How are the latest socio-political transformations of the Middle East affecting it, and how does it impact the Middle East in return?
This class has three purposes.
(1) It first gives an articulated definition of Hezbollah, presenting a thorough history of the party, describing its well-built internal structure, and the large scope of its social and political action;
(2) It then explains the evolution of the party's mobilization;
(3) Finally, it illustrates another path, political but mainly identity-related, that of the Shiite community, today the main constituent of Lebanese society.
Compétence à acquérir :
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the students enrolled will have an advanced understanding of
(1) Hezbollah’s nature, goals, practices and history,
(2) the notion of militancy in contexts of violence,
(3) the main differences between major Islamic and jihadist movements,
(4) a critical notion of foreign intervention, peacemaking, peacebuilding, state building, reconciliation, and transitional justice.

Assignments and grading
Grading is as follows: participation (10%) – book reports (2*30% = 60%) – final exam (40%).
Each student is expected to submit two book reports. Each paper, of 2 000 words, should not only summarize the content of the assigned text, but also—and more importantly—assess the author’s arguments critically, draw out the reading’s relevance to the themes of the course.
The final exam – writing a paper on a subject chosen among two possible choices submitted by the instructor (3h exam) will take place at the end of the semester. The grading will be based on the quality of the quality of the analysis, and the relevance of the examples used to illustrate the argument.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :
Overview
Following an introductory class on the methodology of economics and the conditions under which it might be considered a scientific endeavour akin to the natural sciences rather than a descriptive and hermeneutic endeavour akin to history or political science, the basic structure of the course is chronological (see plan below). Different theoretical approaches are presented in the context of their times and illustrated with simple numerical examples or diagrams that could also figure in introductory textbooks of micro- and macroeconomics. Wherever possible and pertinent, historical questions are linked to contemporary economic questions, e.g., Aristotle’s chrematistics and what constitutes a “good life”, Mandeville and the question of ethics in economics, mercantilism and modern trade disputes, the physiocrats and the question of natural resources, Ricardo and modern sources of rent, Marxism and the theory of crises, Veblen and the conspicuous consumption of leisure in the time of Facebook. Adam Smith, as the proponent of decentralised auto-organisation, the marginalists and Keynes remain, of course, directly relevant to modern economic issues in an all-pervasive and very direct manner.
There are three further issues that might distinguish this class from other introductory classes to the history of economic thought. First, a particular emphasis is put on what we call the “economic subject”, i.e., the individual, entity, group or class, which defines the major economic issues and questions of the day and acts on them. In neoclassical economics, the economic subject is, of course, largely identical with the
homo oeconomicus maximising individual utility. However, Aristotle, scholastic economic thought, mercantilism, the physiocrats, Marxism, institutionalism or even Keynes would have very different ideas about who constitutes the economic subject.
Second, two classes are dedicated to Adam Smith as the founder of economics as an autonomous discipline independent of the other social sciences and a potentially scientific endeavour of research. We thus give space to the development in the
Theory of Moral Sentiments of the anthropological foundations of the Smithian economic man, whose implications are then explored both at the micro and the macro level in the
Wealth of Nations. This allows, in particular, a better understanding of the underlying assumptions behind the working of the invisible hand.
Third, the class puts strong emphasis on the original writings (either in English or in English translation) of the key representatives of each current in the history of economic thought. While there are many competent historians of economic thought, nobody surpasses the writers who became “classics” in their ability to succinctly formulate ways forward out of the dilemmas posed by fundamental economic questions. Students will thus receive for each class by Email key chapters of the great economic texts as reading assignments. The decisive paragraphs will be read in class.

We thus give space to the development in the Theory of Moral Sentiments of the anthropological foundations of the Smithian economic man, whose implications are then explored both at the micro and the macro level in the Wealth of Nations. This allows, in particular, a better understanding of the underlying assumptions behind the working of the invisible hand.
Third, the class puts strong emphasis on the original writings (either in English or in English translation) of the key representatives of each current in the history of economic thought. While there are many competent historians of economic thought, nobody surpasses the writers who became “classics” in their ability to succinctly formulate ways forward out of the dilemmas posed by fundamental economic questions. Students will thus receive for each class by Email key chapters of the great economic texts as reading assignments. The decisive paragraphs will be read in class.

Objective
The class aims to familiarise students with the main currents in the history of economic thought embodied by their most important theorists from Aristotle to Keynes. Students having taken the class should retain, in particular, the key features of the main economic bodies of thought and their actual or potential relevance to major historical or current economic questions.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge of the great currents in the history of economic thought and their principal representatives and major texts; at least cursory understanding of several basic building blocks of economic theory; some intuition for the assumptions and methodological choices that establish economics as an autonomous endeavour of research in the social sciences

Course description and objectives
Industrial organization is the study of industry and firm behavior. Using the basic tools of microeconomic theory and game theory, this course will focus on the analysis of imperfectly competitive markets (monopoly and oligopoly). We shall first explore the relationships among firms in an industry by examining the nature of strategic interaction among them. We shall then analyze the strategies and methods that the firms use to preserve their monopolistic positions (deterring entry into an industry or driving rivals out of an industry), and examine the outcomes they produce. The last part of the course will deal with dynamic aspects of competition that represent critical issues in high technology and information technology industries: innovation and persistence of market dominance, network externalities and strategies in standardization.
During the lectures the students will discuss some examples/mini case studies, to learn how economic concepts have been used in real world business and legal settings.
Objectives: Students will be guided to understand both the theoretical and the empirical aspects of modern Industrial Organization. Their active participation through the mini-case studies discussion will help achieving these objectives.

Overview
This course was created to grant international students’ insight into the responsibilities incumbent to high level decision making. With theoretical learning and practical applications, it is designed to prepare business students to the ethical dimensions of careers in middle or upper management.
Students are called upon to set their own learning objectives, as well as skill development goals. They will be expected to harness abstract concepts and apply them to practical business contexts. Teaching is through thematic lectures, focused class discussions and simulated case study debate.

Course Objectives
This course was especially designed as an accelerated learning platform for students destining themselves for a career in upper management or higher responsibilities in other fields, seeking to gain a personal understanding of the concepts and logics underpinning ethical business practices. Students will gain theoretical insight into ethical philosophies and correlate these with relevant managerial imperatives in business decisions. They will also develop a professional skill-set with ethical value orientations and a prioritization of decision parameters. This will help them better define their own ethical management style, expressing vision and a unique leadership philosophy.
Learning Outcomes
Students will have the opportunity to deepen their intellectual understanding of ethics, and its growing role in business organizations. They will acquire the ability to assess ethical values at work within management decisions and analyze their empowerment in business methodologies. The more advanced achievers will structure key values into the business process, and creatively combine vital organizational goals with clear ethical orientations. Most students will gain a broad understanding of the stakes of ethics in international business, and be better able to contribute responsibly to achieving future employers’ objectives in a distinctly ethical managerial capacity.

Course description and objectives
Consumer behavior is a discipline that looks at why people buy the things they do. This marketing discipline applies knowledge from areas such as psychology, sociology, anthropology, and economics to describe and understand how consumers are likely to behave. Consumer behavior attempts to understand the consumption activities of individuals as opposed to markets.
Knowledge of consumer behavior principles allows marketers and other managers to become more effective at making good decisions. They can better predict consumer actions, determine the needs of target markets, and understand how consumers perceive and understand marketing information. An understanding of consumer behavior may also assist individuals in understanding their own buying decisions.

The emergence of the Association of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt at the end of the 1920s, the Iranian Revolution of 1979, the attacks of September 11, 2001 on the USA, the attacks on the Bataclan and the Stade de France in 2015, the expansion of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, the reforms in Saudi Arabia by the Crown Prince Muhammad ibn Salman in the early 2010s, the Iranian-Saudi rivalry in the Middle-East ... The relationship between Islam and politics has been written about extensively over the last few decades. Observers – academics, experts, journalists, military and intelligence analysts – but also actors themselves – preachers, state officials, community leaders and militiamen, mere believers – all have a particular understanding and their own assessment of this link.
But interpretations, theoretical modelling and personal experiences compete with each other, producing a cacophony that is more often sterile than heuristic. Islam and Islamism on the one hand; Wahhabism, Salafism, jihadism, radicalism, fundamentalism on the other, are all concepts that generate amalgamations that have real and sometimes unfortunate impacts on the living together, public policies, the delimitation of public freedoms, as well as international relations and global security.
This course aims at providing an overview of empirical as well as analytical and theoretical knowledge on the subject of the interaction between Islam and the notions of state and power. The course will combine historical, sociological and anthropological approaches in order to provide students with a concrete knowledge of Islam as a religion and as a matrix of a series of political thoughts that are both sophisticated and different from Western European and North American models. But it will be just as much a question, through practical and empirical case studies, of engaging an advanced reflection on the theoretical models and systematic political rationalities carried by ideologies driven by values and history of Islam.
In doing so, this course is fully in line with a classical political science training, by encouraging students, in a comparative approach, to question and explore the limits of the elementary notions of the discipline, starting with that of the State, domination and government, deliberative decision-making processes, recourse to collective violence, mobilization, civil war, secularism, and regalian functions.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :
Far from being an autonomous and neutral sphere, law is a social activity connected with many different actors and institutions. Based on insights from the sociology of law and the law and society traditions, our course examines the interplay between the formal legal sphere and society at large. We will show that legal outcomes are shaped by political struggles, professions, or the interests of large organizations. Conversely, legal phenomena are crucial in explaining various social dynamics such as gender relations, globalization, or social movements. While some sessions will cover broad theoretical or methodological issues, most of them will explore the relation between law and one specific social field. To foster a critical examination of legal action and legal institutions, we combine discussions of major scholarly contributions and the examination of rich empirical material such as visual artifacts, archives, or ethnographic data drawn from our own research.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :
In the study of state and politics in the Middle East, Lebanon is a puzzling case. The consociational distribution of power between no less than eighteen official religious sects has turned Lebanon’s politics into a zero-sum-game. As a consequence, it has prevented the emergence of a supra-sectarian authority that could be called a “state” in the Western sense of the concept.
This institutional weakness generates a paradox. It threatens the country’s sovereignty by making it more vulnerable to regional and global powers. From a civil war (1975-1990) and the Israeli occupation of its south (1978-2000), to the relative calm of Syrian tutelage (1990-2005), regular turbulence periods since and another war with Israel (2006), the war in neighboring Syria, Lebanon gives the impression of great instability and unpredictability. The positions of its main actors often seem to answer to different, contradictory rationalities.
But despite appearances, Lebanon remains a real subject of its own history. Its “lack of State” gives it a flexibility that can sometimes turn out to be useful to overcome political blockages. In other words, the political game in Lebanon is the product of calibrated doses of local, national, regional and international imperatives addressed through more or less rigid frames of meaning-making.
This course aims to shed light on the submerged part of the iceberg of Lebanese politics, and to assess its significance for the country’s social and political future. As such, our aim here is to build Lebanese politics as a model and determine what it can teach us for other countries of the region (Iraq, Syria), which already present – or will soon present – some of the same social and political features as Lebanon.

(1) At an empirical level, it aims at giving students a solid knowledge in Lebanese history, mainly in the major violent episodes of its trajectory: the civil war (1975-1990), Israeli occupation (1982-2000), and Hezbollah’s intervention in Syria (since 2013).
(2) The point is also to present a specific understanding of a practice of power far removed from what can be observed in Western democracies. Without being an authoritarian regime, the Lebanese political staff has always had a particular definition of ruling, a special understanding of democracy, that go beyond the usual features shared by consociational systems everywhere else in the world. This course will hence illustrate through thorough examples what the Lebanese mean by a “démocratie à la libanaise”.
(3) By doing so, this course will also aim at triggering a shared reflection on theoretical concepts of political science, and a questioning of the universality of some of what western political science sees as basic elementary truths and laws in politics-in-practice.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, the students enrolled will have an advanced understanding of
(1) Lebanese history,
(2) the notion of militancy in contexts of violence,
(3) the main differences between major Islamic and jihadist movements,
(4) a critical notion of foreign intervention, peacemaking, peacebuilding, state building, reconciliation, and transitional justice,
(5) a good command of a particular case of consociational politics.

Assignments and grading
The teacher will check the presence of the students enrolled in the course at every session. Grading is as follows: participation (10%) – book reports (2*30% = 60%) – final exam (40%).
Participation covers the students’ performance in discussion during the meetings. They are expected to participate effectively, showing evidence that they have prepared carefully by doing the reading and thinking about it.
Each student is expected to submit two book reports. Each paper, of 2 000 words, should not only summarize the content of the assigned text, but also—and more importantly—assess the author’s arguments critically, draw out the reading’s relevance to the themes of the course.
The final exam – writing a paper on a subject chosen among two possible choices submitted by the instructor (3h exam) will take place at the end of the semester. The grading will be based on the quality of the quality of the analysis, and the relevance of the examples used to illustrate the argument.
The numerical grade distribution will dictate the final grade. The passing grade for a course is 10/20.
Class participation: Active class participation – this is what makes classes lively and instructive. Come on time and prepared. Class participation is based on quality of comments, not quantity.
Exam policy: In the exam, students will not be allowed to bring any document (except if allowed by the lecturer). Unexcused absences from exams or failure to submit cases will result in zero grades in the calculation of numerical averages. Exams are collected at the end of examination periods.

Information is a crucial resource for organizations. It enables managers to make decisions, evaluate options, formulate plans and monitor their implementation. The tools that enable this monitoring are therefore omnipresent in the work of managers, from the most strategic to the most operational levels of organizations. It is important to master them, to know how to use them, but also to identify their limits and potential dysfunctional effects.
The course therefore presents the different tools of management control and performance management. It presents the principles and methods of cost calculation, how these calculations can be used to inform operational and strategic decisions. It also presents the tools used to guide and control financial (budgets) and operational (dashboards) performance.
It aims to train skilful users who are not only capable of mastering the fundamental techniques and tools, but who are also able to interpret the results obtained, question the adequacy of the methods used, and assess the coherence between control and monitoring systems in one hand, and organizational objectives in the other.
Because management control is a core function of management, all students interested in business or management can benefit from this course. However, this course should be particularly useful for those who are, or aspire to be, managers, management consultants, financial specialists (for example, controller, financial analyst, auditor), or human resource specialists (for example, personnel director, compensation consultant).

Course description and objectives
This course was designed for students seeking to develop their understanding of how technology impacts business practices. It addresses the theoretical underpinnings and the technological constructs of traditional, contemporary, and future-oriented management processes. The relationship between the business process and its technical extensions will be explored in its various facets. Class sessions will address from a technological perspective the following aspects of company creation: the conception of business models, organizational design, management methodologies, and the structuring of business systems. Examined in historical perspective, management process will be correlated to various contextual economic, social, philosophical and technological environments. The redefined balance between humans and technology will also be studied. This course will finally investigate emerging management approaches, integrating recent advances in artificial intelligence and their potential contributions to company design and business performance.

The goal of this class is to familiarize the students with luxury codes (specificities) and communication, and to emphasize that luxury marketing is different from the “classic” marketing used for the mass market. After a brief review of fundamental marketing concepts, such as brand, identity and image, we will study the specificities of luxury (the do's and don'ts, the different perceptions, the influence of cultures, the different types of clients) and we will analyze how brands should communicate using various tools (celebrities, products placement, events, digital) in order to share their values and educate their clients on their brands codes.
Course Objectives
To learn, understand and be able to apply the necessary theory and tools to support strategic decision-making and the strategic management process within organizations.
This course gives you a perspective on the financial and organizational techniques required for the effective execution of strategic decisions, and the critical role that managerial leadership plays in the viability and growth of a business.
The course covers management control and systems used in management control. The starting point for the use of management control systems are that organizations need to plan, implement, monitor, evaluate and adapt organizations with the aim to achieve specified goals. Within the context of the course there will be insights into control methods and control philosophies, responsibilities, production financial and logistical concepts, production processes, forecasts, and the elaboration of balanced scorecards.

1-Context
Over the last thirty years, there has been dramatic growth within the luxury sector. Countries of high economic growth have seen corresponding booms in domestic luxury sales. This has been fed by the emergence of a new group of very rich people (high net worth individuals (HNWI) from the worlds of business, sport, art, entertainment, culture, internet ...), as well as a group of upper middle-class consumers seeking to emulate them. Today luxury no longer seems to be an exception, or a privilege, but a right for all.
Asia in general, and China in particular, are now recognized as the biggest potential markets for luxury goods. Even when luxury sales drop in China, the fast recovery clearly demonstrates that Asian consumers love luxury items. Luxury brands are now targeting the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and leveraging travel retail to increase their growth rates. This is a clear indicator of bright prospects for the luxury business. Luxury has aroused the interest of many corporations who see “premiumization” as a profitable strategy and of governments who recognize the exportability of the luxury sector and its role in developing soft power. However, luxury brand management is not at all the same as conventional brand management.

Course description and objectives
The study of material culture centers upon objects, the materials that they are made of, and the ways in which they provide an understanding of cultural and social relations. Over the last 20 years, the human and social sciences have taken a “material turn” with a new focus on the study of objects in their physical reality as a way of giving meaning to and explaining the economic, social and symbolic world. This study will explore the intertwined, and often dialectic, relationships between people and things.
Material culture, which Michel de Certeau once praised as “the history of everday life”, has taken a newfound interest in the expression of the human subject through his/her objects, stimulating thoughts on the uses of such objects, as well as the affects and values they form (Baudrillard, Système des objets).
The ever-changing world of material culture has recently taken an interest in interactions between the object and it user or consumer. In this aspect, the recent American initiative BND (Buy Nothing Day) was born out of society's questioning of the power of goods and, more generally, the new relationship emerging between being and having in this era of globalized consumption.
This course will examine concrete cases, enriched through an interdisciplinary approach.
A new consideration will be given to the vast corpus of different object worlds that we constantly experience. From food to fashion, to toys and smart phones, the aim is to make objects talk and also understand what they are telling (of) us.
Objectives:
Material culture examines the relationships between people and things.
The aim of this class is to introduce some accessible approaches to this exciting and new field of academic enquiry, which crosses disciplinary boundaries.
Students will become acquainted with the kinds of objects that are considered in the study of material culture. The course will also provide an opportunity to practice communication skills and develop confidence in delivering presentations in English on material culture topics, maximizing the effective use of visual aids.
Some questions we will explore include: how is the value or significance of objects created in different social contexts? Should we understand items of material culture as ways of fulfilling human needs? Or rather as symbols that "say" something about their users, and if so, what?

After France won the FIFA World Cup in 1998, the slogan “Black, Blanc, Beur” emerged as a sign of the country’s alleged “harmonious multiculturalism”. About 20 years later, and despite France winning the World Cup again in 2018, things have considerably soured with intense debates going on in France about French secularism, amalgamation between Islam and terrorism, anti-Semitic acts, etc. The riots in French banlieues in 2005 and the emergence of the “Indigènes de la République” have come to symbolise, among others, the failure of a certain idea of French multiculturalism and were interpreted as a sign of French “colonial aphasia” (Ann Stoler). What does France look like in 2019? Such questions and themes will be tackled through the analysis of contemporary French cultural productions.

Course description and objectives
One of the key challenges in business (manufacturing and/or service) is how to manage operations effectively and efficiently. Thus, this course examines theories, concepts and strategies used in Operations Management. It is designed to introduce students to the strategic importance of various operations decisions (process and plant layout, quality, inventory and supply chain management…). We take both a theoretical and practical approach, beginning with a brief review of the fundamental purpose of management.
We’ll explore the strategic role of operations, study some of the problems and challenges that managers face and examine the theories and strategic tools available to tackle these issues. We take this a little further by analyzing how managerial philosophy, attitudes toward work, technology and culture can affect successful implementation of an operations strategy.
I believe business is best understood by doing, thus this course is highly participative (interactive). Roughly half of class time focuses on traditional lectures with the balance of class time devoted to discussions and group presentations. You will learn from your fellow students as much as from lectures and outside readings.
Assigned readings and materials are vital. Preparing the assigned material before class, allows the student to gain a better understanding of the issue to be discussed in class. Students are also able to actively participate and provide valuable insights on the issues at hand.
The objective of the assigned articles is to help students think critically about the points of view of thought leaders in operations management. This will enhance our examination of how operations management models and principles can be applied to real world organizational challenges, and assist the student in developing leadership and managerial capabilities.
The course material is thus intended to help develop awareness and knowledge of multiple issues associated with operating a business. The cases and class activities are designed to help students in applying theory to practical situations.
The course objective is to develop an appreciation of how the study of Operations Management can help an organization to successfully compete in the marketplace.

Course description and objectives
The course focuses on the emergence and development of the Pop Art movement (1950s to 1970s) in the United Kingdom and the United States, giving background on the historical and aesthetic contexts such as the dominant art movements or social changes of the times. It will explore a selection of Pop artworks that focused on the new consumer society and its media, and used them as their subject. The materials, techniques and formal styles of their creations will be analyzed. Whether the artists chose to celebrate or criticize their newfound muse will be discussed. The course will also look at the art production associated to the Pop Art movement in other countries than the United Kingdom and the United States, as recent exhibitions (The World Goes Pop at The Tate Modern, or International Pop at the Walker Art Center) have shown a less canonized approach to Pop Art. Finally, “Pop Art” understood in its larger meaning of “Pop Culture” will allow for a brief introduction to “Pop architecture” (Archigram, for instance), or cult movies drawing on pop imagery (Barbarella for instance).
The course aims at giving keys to understanding the emergence of the Pop Art movement and its interaction with culture and society, providing students with knowledge about artists and art history in general. The course aims at enriching students' writing and speaking skills by focusing on the expression of argumentation and value judgment in an informed and critical way. The course also aims at developing students' creative skills through a visual project at the end of the semester.
Compétence à acquérir :
Learning outcomes
By the end of the course, students should have acquired in-depth knowledge about the Pop Art movement and many of its leading artists. They should be able to set its emergence in the context of other art movements or trends.

Overview
The course focuses on the emergence and development of the Pop Art movement (1950s to 1970s) in the United Kingdom and the United States, giving background on the historical and aesthetic contexts such as the dominant art movements or social changes of the times. It will explore a selection of Pop artworks that focused on the new consumer society and its media, and used them as their subject. The materials, techniques and formal styles of their creations will be analyzed. Whether the artists chose to celebrate or criticize their newfound muse will be discussed. The course will also look at the art production associated to the Pop Art movement in other countries than the United Kingdom and the United States, as recent exhibitions (The World Goes Pop at The Tate Modern, or International Pop at the Walker Art Center) have shown a less canonized approach to Pop Art as well as a focus on female artists.

The course aims to introduce the Chicago school of sociology and qualitative field studies to students. More specifically, the course focuses on the emergence of sociology in the United States at the turn of the twentieth century and explores its legacies. Furthermore, the course shows the way urban ethnographers conceived the city of Chicago as of utmost value as a laboratory for exploring social interactions. The first weeks of the course will be devoted to a survey of the conceptual and methodological contributions of urban sociologists in Chicago from the 1920s and 1930s such as Ernest Burgess, Robert Ezra Park, Louis Wirth, and Paul Cressey. Secondly, the course will deal with the development of sociology as a scientific field and the evolution of key concepts that are still used in the social sciences today such as the notions of ethnicity, race, assimilation and segregation. The course will also aim to introduce to students current debates in the social sciences regarding the use of these terms in other national contexts, in France for example, notably the term ‘ghetto’ to depict stigmatised territories in the post-keynesian State. The last part of the course will explore the many legacies of the Chicago school of sociology throughout the twentieth and 21st centuries with the works of sociologists such as Erving Goffman and Howard Becker. Thus, students will get the opportunity to familiarize themselves with symbolic interactionism and the sociology of deviance, in the light of the traditions established by the Chicago school of sociology. Students will also immerse themselves in contemporary ethnographies to explore the issues of urban marginality, race, gender and public space in the US today. Finally, students will also be presented with recent debates relating to the methods of ethnography and ethics. Overall, the course aims to present the methodologies and qualitative field study techniques that were pioneered by urban ethnographers in Chicago in the early 20th century, while providing students with a better historical and sociological understanding of key notions that are still in use today in the social sciences.

Course description and objectives
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the various artistic, filmic and literary means used in the representation of nature and the environment in art, literature, fiction film and documentaries. The course will introduce students to different periods, media and genres, ranging from early cave painting to the cinema of eco-disaster or apocalyptic futurism, exploring various genres (Pastoralism, Romanticism and the Sublime, Ecopoetics…), themes or motifs (Animals in fiction, Landscapes, Skies, …), artistic movements (Impressionism, Land Art…) or material and techniques. The different modes of relationship or interaction between humans and/in nature, and the aims and use of those representations of nature will often be at the center of discussions: how do those representations create meaning, values and emotional responses, especially in the understanding of the “human” and the “natural”.
Courses Objectives:
At a time of Earth’s sixth mass extinction, in a period of climate change, humans’ relationship to their environment and other living beings is at the center of many debates in all fields. The course aims at bringing students to some of the many artistic and literary traditions in the representation of the “natural” world, their shifts in discourses and techniques, and the wide range of value and meaning they create about the understanding of the relationship between the “human” and the “natural”, as well as the various level of importance, types of visibility and voice these visual artworks give to the “natural” world and environment.
