This seminar involves foreign academics or researchers working on political, social, legal, domestic or international norms, the term being appreciated for its fluidity. It studies the way they are integrated and used, or conveyed in a state, a region, an international organization, civil or international societies. The aim, for example, is to understand how international norms become embedded in a domestic legal order, how political and social expectations evolve, and how behavior is shaped in societies. In the opposite direction, the seminar also sheds light on how certain national political practices change international norms when countries like China increase their participation in international organizations. The countries studied are South Korea, China and Japan. The approach is deliberately comparative. Hybrid (face-to-face and online), this research and teaching seminar, to which doctoral students, M students, even L students and an outside audience are invited, brings together teachers from various disciplines (history, geography, sociology, political science, law) from Inalco and Lyon 3-Lumière University.
