The work produced by the research laboratory is organized around four major topics, which seek to find answers to two pivotal groups of questions:

  • What is about the city that gives rise to political mobilisation? The Chair proposes two venues for research: a) City-Insecurity-Mobilization, and b) City-Mobility-Mobilization
  • How does the city build itself up as a new political space within the context of the State’s reconfiguration? How do urban challenges contribute to modifying the role of the State in the management of insecurity?

The major topics are : mobility, informality, urbanization and governance.
