This edited book offers diverse perspectives on the Palestinian refugee problem and the possible ways to facilitate its resolution. The book contains contributions of Israeli, Palestinian and other scholars, and its main goal is to initiate an informed dialogue that will bridge the “knowledge gap” between the different camps. The book is the cul- nation of a joint effort to assist people to realize how people on the other side envision the problem and the possible ways to resolve it, and to gain a comparative perspective on refugee problems and their reso- tion efforts in other parts of the world. The contributors come from - verse disciplines and backgrounds and their various contributions p- vide a comprehensive picture of the various aspects of the problem and of the possible means of its resolution. The Palestinian refugees problem is perhaps the most acute challenge to a peaceful settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is a challenge that scholars must address in a calm and detached manner, but at the same time a deeply emotional matter that even the most sophisticated scholars find difficult to engage without compromising their academic integrity. Despite these difficulties, we undertook the task of convening a meeting where the papers were presented and of the publication of this book because we think the contributions in this book provide p- spectives that contribute to the initiation of a constructive dialogue among the relevant communities.

Ce « miroir » propose des regards croisés sur les trajectoires de disciplines et de professions qui font les sciences sociales libanaises. Il interroge leurs formations historiques et les pratiques de leurs acteurs, ancrées dans la société et confrontées à des enjeux d'autonomisation et de reconnaissance. Ses différents chapitres entendent ainsi rendre aux sciences humaines et sociales libanaises leurs hommes et leurs femmes, leurs temps et leurs lieux, leurs pratiques et leurs défis. Ils mobilisent les ressources et les outils propres à différentes disciplines, de l’histoire sociale et culturelle à l’anthropologie des savoirs, de la sociologie des sciences à celle des intellectuels, en passant par la géographie et la science politique. Interrogeant la constitution d’histoires proprement libanaises de savoir, ils questionnent aussi la capacité de la communauté scientifique nationale à maitriser ses agendas de recherche aussi bien qu’à actualiser la vocation critique des savoirs. Ce faisant, les sciences humaines et sociales s’avèrent des postes d’observation privilégiés d’évolutions plus générales dans le Liban contemporain : la marchandisation du monde, la division internationale inégale des savoirs productrice de subalternisation ou au contraire de légitimation, la production et reproduction de normes, l’instruction de hiérarchies et d’inégalités, ou encore la mutation des mondes du travail.

Profound transformations are affecting the research systems around the world. We witness the emergence of new or restructured organizations to steer public research or promote innovation, new programmatic directions within these organizations, increased funding dedicated to research in academic settings, and new domestic and international partnerships and collaborations. A multiplicity of organizations and funding sources have appeared, creating a complex web where resources circulate along with knowledge in ways that are reshaping research systems in the South. This book gathers a large sample of these changes presented during a symposium organized by IDRC, IRD, IFRIS, and OECD, seeking to better understand their institutional, political and economic drivers. These cases document the building of scientific capacity and the broader use of results from scientific research and presents lessons for public policy. A large variety of case studies of specific research organizations and comparative analysis of the wider research system are presented in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
