Practical information
Registration for this conference is closed.
Watch the videos of General Bostick and Senator Jesus "Chuy" Garcia's speeches.
This conference is organised as part of the "Migrations & Employers" program of the Centre for Migrations and Citizenship, which was launched in September 2010. This program seeks to identify the expectations of French and European employers towards national and EU migration policies: could employers be involved in the definition of national migration policies? And what would migration policies look like if they tended to the expectations of employers?
The conference is organised in partnership with the Embassy of the United States in Paris, France. Speakers will present in English. No translation services will be provided.
Context:
Migration policies impact the economic sector: they shape the numbers and profile of foreigners entering a national economic market, their reception conditions, and they influence the needs and nature of an adequate diversity strategy. But the impact of economic actors on the making of migration policies is less certain:
What role can and do economic actors play in the elaboration of migration policies?
This question is at the core of this international conference, which examines what could be learned from a country, the United States, whose migration and integration policies strongly differ from those of France.
Former State Senator and now Cook County Commissioner Jesus “Chuy” Garcia will address the role that economic actors can play in the making of migration policies.
At the other end of the migration process, 3-star U.S. Army General Bostick will share with us his insight on the diversity recruitment strategies of one of the nation"s largest recruiters, whose policies in terms of diversity have often been groundbreaking.

A New Moment for Central Europe? Regional Cooperation in a Time of European Strategic Choices
Recent political developments in Central Europe have revived the debate about the future of regional cooperation and the Visegrád Group. Changes in Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, together with Austria’s growing interest in closer cooperation with its neighbours, could create new opportunities for dialogue and coordination around shared priorities.
China’s Nuclear Buildup: Developments, Drivers, and Implications for Major-Power Relations and Arms Control
China has been steadily expanding its nuclear arsenal for several years amid levels of geopolitical tension unseen since the end of the Cold War, marked by a resurgence in nuclear proliferation and a broader, global arms race.
Reinventing Coordination in an Age of Fragmentation
The world economy is being reordered. The certainties of the post-Cold War era, open trade, dollar centrality, predictable multilateral coordination, are giving way to a landscape shaped by rivalry between the United States and China, the weaponization of interdependence, and a scramble to secure supply chains, technologies and critical resources. What once looked like a stable architecture now appears fragile, contested, and in places actively being dismantled.
