The DÉCRIPT research program - Dispositif d'Étude des Crises et des Récits cIvilisationnels par la Pluridisciplinarité et les Terrains - is launching a series of radio broadcasts in partnership with RFI, to explore the research covered by the program. The series focuses on transformations in the international system and the political and institutional effects of civilizational narratives that have emerged on the world stage.

Two sequences per month will be broadcast on RFI's Géopolitique and Décryptage programs, then made available as podcasts. A total of ten programs will be devoted to research from the program, enabling each of the terrains it covers to be addressed, by summer 2026.

The first program, War of narratives: who still has the right to tell the world? (Géopolitique, 01/02/2026, 48 mn), linked to the transversal axis "Civilizational narratives, universalisms and global governance", gave the floor to Delphine Allès, university professor in Political Science, vice-president of Inalco and scientific director of the DÉCRIPT program, and Louise Beaumais, post-doctoral fellow in this axis' program and associated with the CESSMA laboratory. Together, they presented the program's challenges and discussed the UN's role as a sounding board for the competing universalisms constituted by civilizational narratives.

The next program will be broadcast live on February 16, at 8:10 pm, in Décryptage.
