Le Centre toulousain d’histoire du droit et des idées politiques crée un périodique scientifique, Études d’histoire du droit et des idées politiques, consacré en ses deux premiers numéros, au thème de la Justice ; il abordera, en troisième livraison, le thème, en vérité très neuf, Droit romain et droit public (de Rome au xxe siècle). Pour ce premier numéro qui apporte les actes d’un colloque, le professeur Germain Sicard a choisi de lancer, comme offre de travail, Justice et politique : la Terreur de 1793-1795. Malgré les recherches suscitées par le Bicentenaire, le lecteur observera combien notre apport est original et combien il invite à méditer sur Justice et Politique... La Révolution Française est inséparable de la Terreur, répression implacable contre les adversaires, les mécontents, les indifférents même. « Il faut gouverner par le fer ceux qui ne peuvent l’être par les lois », annonce Robespierre. Cet ensemble de processus répressifs, justifié par ses défenseurs au nom du Salut de la République, exécré comme « le règne des démons » par d’autres (L. de Bonald) n’a pas cessé, depuis des siècles, de susciter des jugements opposés. A l’occasion du « Bicentenaire », un colloque a réunit à l’Université des Sciences Sociales de Toulouse, de nombreux historiens, dont les contributions constituent le présent volume. Elles concernent le vécu de la Terreur dans différents départements, décrivant les acteurs, les situations, les procédures. Elles évoquent aussi les relations entre Terreur, idéologies politiques, circonstances coloniales. Les situations sont contrastées : depuis un département paisible (Aude) jusqu’aux fureurs atroces des massacres aux Îles, sur le terrain, la Terreur résulte de la conjonction de lois draconiennes, d’institutions de justice dévoyées, des mentalités des dirigeants locaux. La Terreur est volonté d’exclusion et d’élimination de ceux que les maîtres du jour croient dangereux.

In Remembering Stalin's Victims, Kathleen E. Smith examines how government reformers' repudiation of Stalin's repressions both in the 1950s and in the 1980s created new political crises. Drawing on interviews, she tells the stories of citizens and officials in conflict over the past. She also addresses the underlying question of how societies emerging from rep1;essive regimes reconcile themselves to their memories. Soviet leaders twice attempted to liberalize communist rule and both times their initiatives hinged on criticism of Stalin. During the years of the Khrushchev "thaw" and again during Gorbachev's glasnost, anti-Stalinism proved a unique catalyst for democratic mobilization. Under Gorbachev, dissatisfaction with half truths about past atrocities united citizens from all walks of life in the Memorial Society, an independent mass movement that eventually challenged the very notion of reform communism. Smith investigates why citizens risked confrontation with the Communist Party in order to promote recognition of the victims of Stalinism and recompense for their survivors. Efforts to acknowledge the bitter legacy of totalitarian rule, while originally supporting a stable statesociety reform coalition, ultimately provoked "radical" demands for openness about the past, official accountability, and institutional guarantees of human rights, Smith explains. The battle over the Soviet past, she suggests, not only illuminates the dynamic between elite and mass political actors during liberalization, but also reveals the scars that totalitarian rule has left on Russian society and the long-term obstacles to reform it has created.

The shocking events of 11 September 2001 in the United States drew worldwide attention to the terrorist phenomenon. Confronting Terrorism focuses on terrorism and the struggle against it in Europe: on recent experiences, threat perceptions and the policies of several European countries, including the effects produced by the 11 September attacks. Specialists from Ireland, the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Greece analyse the development of threat perceptions concerning terrorism and counter-terrorist policy-making in their respective countries. To facilitate comparisons between their findings, they have worked from an identical set of questions. Their chapters are followed by contributions on relevant policy-making and decisions in the European Union, and on the European input in United Nations policy-making processes. A summary of main conclusions and recommendations is also presented.

"This book examines the quest for/failure of Utopia across a range of contemporary American/transnational fictions in relation to terror and globalization through authors such as Susan Choi, André Dubus, Dalia Sofer, and John Updike. While recent critical thinkers have reengaged with Utopia, the possibility of terror -- whether state or non-state, external or homegrown -- shadows Utopian imaginings. Terror and Utopia are linked in fiction through the exploration of the commodification of affect, a phenomenon of a globalized world in which feelings are managed, homogenized across cultures, exaggerated, or expunged according to a dominant model. Narrative approaches to the terrorist offer a means to investigate the ways in which fiction can resist commodification of affect, and maintain a reasoned but imaginative vision of possibilities for human community. Newman explores topics such as the first American bestseller with a Muslim protagonist, the links between writer and terrorist, the work of Iranian-Jewish Americans, and the relation of race and religion to Utopian thought." -- Publisher's description.
