SUMMARY:Désindustrialisation\, nation\, immigration : quelles réponses politiques ? / Deindustrialization\, Nation\, Immigration: What Political Responses?
DESCRIPTION:Deindustrialization\, Nation\, Immigration: What Political Responses? \nDeindustrialization\, which began affecting North America and Northwestern Europe in the 1950s\, unevenly impacted various workforces. These groups\, which have experienced mass layoffs and relocations due to globalization and trade liberalization\, include both men and women\, national and immigrant workers\, and racialized individuals\, some of whom have been replaced by lower-paid\, less protected labor forces. This powerful movement gained momentum in the late 1970s and early 1980s\, at a time when the labor movement was at its peak and social democratic parties held power\, particularly in Western Europe. \nIn this context\, deindustrialization profoundly destabilized the labor movement and left-wing parties\, which faced an immense political\, strategic\, and intellectual challenge. This challenge arised from the disappearance of an industrial model that provided a framework\, the crisis of countercyclical economic and social policies\, and\, last but not least\, the erosion of their electoral base. Simultaneously\, chauvinistic or xenophobic reactions\, which traditionally accompany economic and political crises\, have multiplied\, aiding the consolidation of far-right movements that denounce the presence of immigrants\, unfair foreign competition\, and even local populations or entire regions perceived as burdens taking advantage of the social welfare system. \nWhile some of these issues regularly capture media and public attention\, it is clear that proper historical analyses linking these different elements are still lacking. The same applies to comparisons between regional and national situations. \nThe aim of this conference is to shed light on these different contexts from a historical perspective\, and to rearticulate these contemporary phenomena to understand how different forms of deindustrialization challenge issues of race\, immigration\, and nation. It also seeks to explore how these processes transform the political responses that can be offered to these issues. Case studies focusing on a particular situation\, territory\, or group are welcome (in Europe and North America during the late 20th-early 21st century but also in the global South). We also encourage papers that cross categories\, compare territories\, or vary the scales of analysis. \nSeveral non-exclusive avenues of inquiry may be explored\, including: Race\, nation\, and immigrant labor; Between powerlessness and action\, between blindness and awareness: what responses from workers’ movements?; Populism\, far-right\, and deindustrialization. \n  \nConference News  \nThe program is now available in English and French. \n  \nThe call for papers is now available on our website! Read and download it in French or English here. \nFrequently Asked Questions  \nAs conference organization proceeds\, we will be updating this page with more information about venues\, conference hotels\, program information\, and more information to help prepare attendance.
