Sanctions: The Key to a Longstanding, Powerful, Authoritarian Regime

| The Menton Times
We have entered a new era of warfare. Rather than tanks, bombs and guns, sanctions have become the weapon of choice. Unlike the aforementioned tools of destruction, sanctions do not cause direct harm. Rather, their harmful nature is disseminated through food shortages and inflation, which are detrimental and, in some cases, deadly. Nevertheless, sanctions do more than empty out grocery aisles and indirectly kill the innocent recipients.

| The Menton Times
À l’heure où le soleil réapparaît à travers les nuages mentonnaises et où l’on songe à nos escapades estivales, la saison touristique en Grèce est sur le point de débuter.

Vivre la Guerre à Travers un Écran: la Bataille des Récits

| The Menton Times
Aujourd’hui, la guerre ne se vit plus uniquement sur le terrain : elle se vit aussi, intensément, sur nos écrans. Hashtags, stories Instagram, vidéos TikTok : la bataille ne concerne plus seulement les armes, mais aussi les récits. Une photo d’enfant sous les décombres, un cri de mère en larmes, un drapeau brûlé: en temps de guerre, certaines images deviennent virales, iconiques. Qui choisit ce qu’on voit? Et à quelles émotions ces images nous condamnent-elles?

Change in the Republic of Moldova | The Menton Times

| The Menton Times
Stuck between the West and the East, neglected by both, and frozen in checkmate with Russia for the last seven decades, the Republic of Moldova endured more hardships than any other European country. Having been stripped from Romania and incorporated into the USSR at the beginning of WW2, gaining formal independence only after 1989, the Republic of Moldova is yet to establish itself as a purely autonomous power outside of the influence of its greater Eastern neighbour.

Thrifting and the Price of Exclusion: Gentrifying Secondhand Stores in Toronto

| The Menton Times
In Toronto, thrift stores have recently introduced a collection of higher-end, thrift “boutiques.” These boutiques sell name-brand clothing at marked-up prices to attract a wealthier crowd and drive in profits. Value Village—a for-profit thrift enterprise popular among thrifters in Canada—has replaced its former thrift stores with thrift “boutiques,” limiting its clientele to upper-class individuals and neglecting those who formerly relied on secondhand stores for everyday essentials.

Cocteau’s Azur: Exploring Queerness in Menton

| The Menton Times
At first glance, Menton appears to be a quaint and peaceful town on the French Riviera—a place of leisure, history, and, of course, lemons. But is Menton truly as fruity as it seems? To uncover the realities of queer life in this picturesque coastal town, I conducted a brief survey among fellow Sciences Pistes. Their answers reflected diverse and sometimes conflicting experiences. My first question centered on safety—something that is a recurring concern in Menton.

An Ode To Menton: Notes From the Edge of France

| The Menton Times
As we 2As prepare for our departure, I wonder what my biased memory will frame my time in Menton to be. Is living in the Côte D’Azur really as luxe as Instagram stories sell-it to be? This is my little reflection to remember the highs and the lows while they're still fresh in my memory. Here are ten lessons (from the 100s) from Menton Maria Eirini Liodi Moving to Menton has been a crazy journey (to say the least), most akin to a fever dream.

Tips To Survive Sciences Po Menton

| The Menton Times
The end of the second semester is approaching, marking, for me, the end of a whole year in the magical Menton—the “pearl” of the French Riviera—as a first-year student. A year ago today, I learned that I had been accepted to this university, situated in a foreign country whose language I did not speak, miles away from my home. I believe that thousands of other students are in the same situation right now.
