If he does not believe that there is “synchronization in the sense of organized movement”Benjamin Morel, political scientist and lecturer at Paris II University, thinks that there is “a mimetic effect”and potential “sources of inspiration”. “We can have an emulation effect, but there is no American import”he assures on the set of 11/13 info.
“The risk is that this label becomes problematic”
“One of the strengths of Science Po, at the national or internal level, is essentially reputation. (…) The risk is that this label becomes problematic, or even a repellent for certain companies, certain public administrations”warns Benjamin Morel.
