The permanence of institutional, economic, environmental and migratory tensions is transforming the way our political systems operate. Some of these effects are marginal or conjunctural, but others induce genuine transitions in our models of society over the long term.The Pole Democratic Transformations studies more specifically how these tensions affect modes of governance citizen behavior and the conduct of public action within our political regimes from the local to the international level, via the regional and European levels.

This research cluster embraces a very specific meaning of "territory", namely: "a portion of land space considered in its relationship with human groups who occupy and develop it with a view to ensuring the satisfaction of their needs". The concept of territorial transition embodies new local forms of development, which emphasize the sustainable well-being of the population, in line with environmental protection..

The transformation of our societies is affecting the construction of our lives and life courses. These are traversed by a dual movement of de-standardization and de-institutionalization, leading to a gradual detachment from social roles, but also to a rise in social, cultural and gender uncertainties and inequalities. The "Transitions and Ages of Life" cluster studies the way in which these life courses are recomposed according to new social constraints and normative imperatives. It thus focuses on the fragility of populations at any age of life, and also on the repercussions of political devices and measures on the construction of life courses.This cluster brings together researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds who analyze both the normative transformations affecting life courses and life-age transitions..

The Chair is dedicated to the study of security, from both traditional and critical approaches. Its axis of rotation is the analysis of safety performance - at cultural, organizational and technological levels - and its relationship to social order. Here, safety is approached primarily from a transdisciplinary angle. This localization of safety, at the intersection of several disciplinary influences, directly structures the theoretical and methodological orientations of the studies conducted within the Chair.
