  • Competing and complementary regions in US foreign policy

    Open AccessAndrew Gawthorpe, Catherine WoodARTICLEInternational Affairs2025

    Discussions of US foreign policy are heavily influenced by what we term competing regions discourse—the idea that there is a competition for resources between different global regions. While this discourse makes some valid points, it underemphasizes how complementarities between different regions can further the foreign policy goals of the United States. Competing regions discourse also overemphasizes military power—especially in Europe, the Indo…

  • Entremêlements

    Open AccessBoris Charmatz, Catherine Wood et al.ARTICLEPerspective2020

    Dans « La fonte de l’individu », un texte de deux pages écrit en 1999, Boris Charmatz proposait un exercice : « Une fonte à partir de la posture verticale jusqu’à l’étalement le plus lourd. Du debout au couché, comme d’habitude, mais cette fois sans habitus, et dans une durée exceptionnellement longue. L’idée – écrit-il – est de laisser venir des circulations imprévues, en insistant sur les passages les plus délicats : il ne faut pas nier les dés…
