Publication by Éditions du Seuil of the book " Concerter les civilisations. Mélanges en l'honneur d'Alain Supiot ", edited by Professor Samantha Besson, International Law of Institutions Chair, and Samuel Jubé.
This book pays tribute to Alain Supiot and his work. The theme chosen for this tribute is that of the conditions for a genuine " globalization ", based on the richness and diversity of cultures, languages and civilizations, and not on the illusory prospect of their standardization. This theme echoes many aspects of Alain Supiot's thinking and questions that are dear to his heart. It also enables us to grasp the specific nature of his work and his contribution to the human and social sciences (including, but not limited to, Law).
