Offered by Sciences Po,
Données et Gouvernance Urbaine (Coursera)

Depuis le milieu des années 2000, les données ont fait une entrée fracassante dans le champ urbain, transformant les manières dont les villes sont gouvernées à l’ère du numérique. Que ce soit au niveau des coalitions d’acteurs, des instruments, des politiques ou des modes de régulation, la donnée impacte la façon dont la vie urbaine se trouve ordonnée.

En 4 séances, ce mooc explore les transformations de la gouvernance urbaine à l’ère du numérique et des données. Qu’est-ce que la donnée fait à la gouvernance urbaine ? Qui gouverne dans une ville investie par le big data ? Les plateformes sont-elles ingouvernables ? Comment gouverne-t-on avec des algorithmes ? Quelle place revient aux citoyens dans cette ville numérique ? Peut-on encore être anonyme en ville ?
Ce cours vous permettra de vous repérer parmi l’archipel d’acteurs et d’outils qui font le gouvernement urbain à l’ère du numérique et des données ; de décrypter les ressorts des transformations à l’oeuvre dans l’organisation et les pratiques des administrations territoriales; d’analyser les évolutions contemporaines des marchés de service urbain ; et de comprendre les enjeux qui affectent la fabrique et la mise en oeuvre des politiques urbaines lorsque la donnée arrive en ville.
Ce MOOC est proposé par la chaire Villes et numérique de l'Ecole urbaine de SciencesPo, soutenue par La Poste, RTE et la Caisse des Dépôts.

After the Arab Spring – Democratic Aspirations and State Failure (Coursera)

Learn why the hope and excitement of the Arab Spring is gone, why so many Arab states are falling apart, why the youth are so frustrated, why there are so many refugees, and what can be done about it. The so-called Arab Spring appeared to end decades of exceptionalism and bring the Arab world back into the mainstream of global developments. The rebellions promised the return of politics and the reassertion of popular sovereignty against their corrupt and geriatric leaders. Much hope and flowery language greeted the young men and women who deposed their leaders and tried to build new, better societies.

Data and Urban Governance (Coursera)

Since the beginning of the 2000s, cities have witnessed a massive influx of data, transforming how cities are governed. Data has an impact on how city life is structured, as it influences coalitions, actors, instruments, policies, and forms of regulation. In this MOOC, we will look at this shift more closely: what has the advent of big data done to urban governance? Have platforms disrupted local authorities? How has big data changed local politics? How do we govern using algorithms? What is the place of citizens in the digital city? Is it still possible to be anonymous in the city?

Paradoxes of War (Coursera)

The Paradoxes of War teaches us to understand that war is not only a normal part of human existence, but is arguably one of the most important factors in making us who we are. Through this course, I hope that you will come to appreciate that war is both a natural expression of common human emotions and interactions and a constitutive part of how we cohere as groups. That is, war is paradoxically an expression of our basest animal nature and the exemplar of our most vaunted and valued civilized virtues.
