Cette étude CAWTAR/UNESCO porte sur les rapports au politique des jeunes femmes en condition de vulnérabilité à Gafsa, Kasserine et Tozeur, trois gouvernorats de la région de Sud-Ouest/Centre-Ouest de la Tunisie. Adoptant une approche de sociologie politique compréhensive, elle se base sur un corpus de 96 entretiens approfondis semi-directifs, 3 focus groups et un support audio-visuel. Plus qu’un état des lieux des obstacles à la participation politique des jeunes femmes en condition de vulnérabilité, cette recherche vise à mettre au jour les conditions de vulnérabilité politique en interrogeant les retombées de la précarité économique et sociale et de la faiblesse du capital scolaire sur les possibilités d’investissement politique, avec une attention particulière sur les élections du 23 octobre 2011. Elle fait ressortir ainsi des différenciations du rapport au politique et cherche à en expliquer les ressorts. Cette étude met au jour également les déterminants du choix électoral pour la population étudiée.
Cette étude constitue un outil important d’analyse des comportements politiques à l’heure où la Tunisie est en passe d’instaurer une démocratie.

Seven Myths on Accession of Jammu & Kashmir and Article 370Kiran Bettadapur
This slide deck is the presentation that I made to the students of a law college in Bengaluru on the constitutionality of the accession of State of Jammu & Kashmir; Article 370 and Article 35A. The sovereignty of India, human rights, UN Security Council resolutions and international law angles too are explored.
The myth-busting is packaged such that the 7 themes abbreviate into K.A.S.H.M.I.R.

As reported by ABSL (Association of Business Leaders), Poland, and in this case, Łódź has seen an ever growing position in the business services sector, showing and increase in employment by roughly 10% in the year 2014. Such an increase in employment rates involves creation of positions within service centers with foreign capital aimed at potential employees with multilingual backgraunds within the area of accounting, human resources (HR) or information technology (IT). Currently a further factor in the development of multinational services is economic development combined with environmental, economic and social development.
The purpose of this paper is to present the need for highly skilled candidates with foreign languages as a requirement for employment in the service sector. Most companies require perfect interpersonal and communicative skills above theoretical knowledge. The data presented in the paper is based on the ABSL report and a series of questionnaires distributed among executive staff of major business service providers in Łódź.
