Le colloque international Transferts culturels et droit dans les mondes grec et hellénistique étudie les phénomènes de réceptions, d'emprunts et d'adaptations dans la sphère juridique, depuis la naissance du droit grec, à l'époque archaïque durant l'âge des législateurs, jusqu'à l'établissement du pouvoir romain sur l'espace méditerranéen. La problématique envisagée a permis des échanges entre spécialistes venus d'horizons différents, historiens, juristes, anthropologues, hellénistes, romanistes, démotisants, sémitisants, orientalistes, dont les regards sur le monde grec et hellénistique sont complémentaires. Leurs deux préoccupations principales ont été, d'une part, de revenir sur les dynamiques juridiques internes au monde grec et, d'autre part, de mesurer les influences réciproques des droits des mondes grecs et des mondes « barbares ». Ce colloque complète et approfondit une première rencontre organisée en Sorbonne, durant l'année 2004 sur le thème Transferts culturels et politique dans le monde hellénistique (Jean-Christophe Couvenhes et Bernard Legras éd., Publications de la Sorbonne, 2006). L'histoire juridique de la Méditerranée antique sur un temps long permet en effet de mesurer comment l'élargissement du monde grec avec la conquête d'Alexandre, puis la formation de l'Empire mondial des Romains ont suscité l'élaboration d'une koinè juridique, qui a offert à des peuples de traditions différentes de vivre globalement en paix dans des sociétés pour l'essentiel multiculturelles.

"A recent development in the immigration policies of several European states is to make the admission of foreign nationals dependent upon criteria relating to their integration. As the practice of 'integration testing abroad' becomes more widespread, this book endeavours to clarify the legal implications which have hitherto remained poorly understood and studied. The book begins by looking at the situation in the Netherlands, which was the first EU Member State to introduce pre-entry integration requirements. It explores the historical and political origins of the Dutch Act on Integration Abroad and explains how, in this national context, integration has become a criterion for the selection of immigrants. It then examines how integration requirements must be evaluated from the point of view of European and international law, including human rights treaties, EU migration directives and association agreements and the law on non-discrimination. The book identifies the legal standards set by these instruments with regard to integration testing abroad and draws conclusions as to the lawfulness of the Dutch approach."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

During the lifetime of Augustus (from 63 B.C. to A.D. 14), Roman civilization spread at a remarkable rate throughout the ancient world, influencing such areas as art and architecture, religion, law, local speech, city design, clothing, and leisure and family activities. In his newest book, Ramsay MacMullen investigates why the adoption of Roman ways was so prevalent during this period. Drawing largely on archaeological sources, MacMullen discovers that during this period more than half a million Roman veterans were resettled in colonies overseas, and an additional hundred or more urban centers in the provinces took on normal Italian-Roman town constitutions. Great sums of expendable wealth came into the hands of ambitious Roman and local notables, some of which was spent in establishing and advertising Roman ways. MacMullen argues that acculturation of the ancient world was due not to cultural imperialism on the part of the conquerors but to eagerness of imitation among the conquered, and that the Romans were able to respond with surprisingly effective techniques of mass production and standardization.
