Understanding the causes of recurring political crises to better envision Madagascar's democratic future. This is the objective of a conference-debate bringing together researchers, students and the general public at the University of Antananarivo. Why does Madagascar repeatedly plunge into political crises? This question will be at the heart of the conference-debate titled "Recurring Political Crises in Madagascar", organized today at 2 p.m. in Amphitheater 24 of the Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences at the University of Antananarivo. The event is led by the Master's 2 promotion in Mediation and Cultural Management of the French and Francophone Studies program. The meeting aims to go beyond immediate analysis of crises to examine their root causes. Discussions will focus on mechanisms that favor the repetition of political crises, factors behind popular mobilizations, and conditions for sustainable democratic renewal. Professor Christiane Rafidinarivo, HDR doctorate holder in political science, researcher at the Institute of Political Studies of Madagascar and associate at CEVIPOF, will present results of her work on contexts of political crises in Madagascar. Dr Faneva Ratsimba Rajaona, researcher-lecturer at the Faculty of Law and Political Science of the University of Antananarivo, will participate in discussions as a discussant. Open to students, researcher-lecturers, civil society actors and the general public, this conference aims to be a framework for reflection on the country's democratic challenges. Organizers hope to contribute to better understanding of the political dynamics shaping Madagascar's contemporary history. Lucia Rabarijaona
