Civil Society at the United Nations Through the Lens of Organizational Sociology: Exclusion and Temporariness
Studying the inclusion of civil society in international organizations has grown in the last decade. This article repatriates the ongoing scholarly discussions of this inclusion within organizational sociology to answer what the nature of civil society is as an organization at the United Nations. With “temporary organizations” it proposes a relational perspective whereby civil society’s temporariness induces mechanisms of exclusion and vice-versa…

Apprivoiser la distance: Un Défi Paradoxal, Une Expérience Exigeante, Un Cadre Revisité
La situation que nous vivons, dans le contexte de la pandémie Covid-19, nous a conduites à réfléchir à ce dossier thématique. Il fournit le prétexte, mais n’en constitue pas la matière. La crise planétaire qui traverse encore pays, régions, villes, communautés, institutions et organisations de toutes natures renouvelle des questions constitutives des sciences sociales, comme celles des inégalités, des dimensions sociales, politiques et économique…

Feminist advocacy on international agreements for disaster risk reduction: From Yokohama to Sendai
Time and space in the study of international organizations: An introduction
In the study of international organizations (IOs), time and space have mostly been approached as contextual, even implicit and unrelated, factors. Instead this special issue considers them as co‐constitutive of multilateralism and investigates three main questions: (i) How are IOs influenced by time and space? (ii) How are time and space experienced within IOs? (iii) How do IOs influence time and space around them? This introductory article compi…
Experiencing Time and Space within the United Nations
Departing from an objective understanding of time and space, this article investigates time and space together as daily individual and social experiences within the United Nations (UN) system. Focused on both staff members and civil society partners, it explores how experiences of time and space affect the way the UN functions. Based on two case studies, it first shows that time and space as they are experienced by individuals shape UN everyday p…
The Feeling of Insecurity Among the Elderly: Between Environmental Changes and Individual Fragility
The literature frequently argues that the feeling of insecurity might be greater among the elderly than in other population groups. Based on results of a qualitative study which consisted of 51 interviews with people aged between 70 and 92 years old, this paper proposes to approach the feeling of insecurity from the actors’ perspective. This allows us to take into account the perception of the elderly in order to dispose of the age-related vision…
