Cet article sʼinscrit dans le cadre dʼune étude systématique de la peinture sous verre javanaise aux XIXe-XXIe siècles, en abordant ici un corpus spécifique, celui des représentations des Lieux saints de lʼislam. Il se fonde sur lʼexamen et lʼanalyse de 84 peintures représentant les mosquées de la Mecque, Médine et Jérusalem, dont il propose dʼabord une typologie formelle.

The article written by Valérie Erlich and Jimmy STEF, doctoral student associated with IRASEC, analyses the impact of internationalisation dynamics on the higher education system in Singapore over the last fifty years.

On the 24th of February 2022, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine further deepened global geopolitical divisions. Despite the escalation of the conflict, much of the world, particularly in Africa and Asia, maintains a position of neutrality. This is the case for the majority of Southeast Asian countries, whose regional organization, the ASEAN, was built upon the concept of neutrality. However, a more precise analysis of the positions taken by each country reveals a wide spectrum of neutralities. These neutralities, which have historical and political backgrounds but are also motivated by strategic and economic interests, are flexible to each context and are challenged by the tangible consequences of the war in the region. This note aims to decrypt and explain the forms of neutrality adopted by Southeast Asian countries regarding the war in Ukraine based on a daily monitoring of regional newspapers between the beginning of the war and September 2022.
