Abstract

De la fin du XVe siècle jusqu’à la chute de la monarchie, la Normandie est la province de France qui compte parmi les plus fortes densités nobiliaires. Sa noblesse est abondante et souvent populeuse. Elle présente de fortes disparités géographiques, entre la Normandie occidentale et la Normandie orientale, et il existe de visibles contrastes sociaux entre les élites aristocratiques et la plèbe nobiliaire qui peuple les campagnes de l’ouest de la province, souvent mise à mal économiquement. Ainsi, on doit parler de noblesses normandes au pluriel plutôt que croire en l’existence d’une noblesse unique, notamment au regard de multiples particularités régionales ou locales, économiques ou politiques, durant les trois siècles qui précèdent la Révolution. La confrontation des recherches historiques récentes présentée dans cet ouvrage permet de montrer la variété des situations que rencontrent ces groupes nobiliaires (en matière d’effectifs, d’implantations géographiques, de densités, etc.), quant à leur condition juridique originale suivant la coutume de Normandie, à leurs positions culturelles et leurs adhésions religieuses.

Abstract

"A denunciation of the credentialed elite class that serves capitalism while insisting on its own progressive heroism. Professional Managerial Class (PMC) elite workers labor in a world of performative identity and virtue signaling, publicizing an ability to do ordinary things in fundamentally superior ways. Author Catherine Liu shows how the PMC stands in the way of social justice and economic redistribution by promoting meritocracy, philanthropy, and other self-serving operations to abet an individualist path to a better world. Virtue Hoarders is an unapologetically polemical call to reject making a virtue out of taste and consumption habits. Forerunners: Ideas First is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital publications. Written between fresh ideas and finished books, Forerunners draws on scholarly work initiated in notable blogs, social media, conference plenaries, journal articles, and the synergy of academic exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking, change, and speculation take place in scholarship." -- Publisher's description.

Abstract

“Kremlin kids” is a term describing the younger generation of the Russian elite’s close family and other relatives. Owing to their families’ influence, “Kremlin kids” enjoy a privileged position within Russia, running strategic state-owned companies, affording studies, acquiring property across the world and winning lucrative state contracts for their own companies. Not all children of the Russian elite are “Kremlin kids,” yet almost every member of the elite has a “Kremlin kid” in their family. Within Russia, the “Kremlin kids”—the elite’s most trustworthy associates—help their parents and families control strategic Russian companies (in oil, gas, energy, banking, etc.). Those who run their own businesses can count on a substantial flow of money from the state budget (less often, they personally work in the government). Such influence and experience make the “Kremlin kids” the most likely successors of the current ruling Russian elite.

Abstract

In The Politics of the Welfare State in Turkey, author Erdem Yörük provides a politics-based explanation for the post-1980 transformation of the Turkish welfare system, in which poor relief policies have replaced employment-based social security. This book is one of the results of Yörük's European Research Council-funded project, which compares the political dynamics in several emerging markets in order to develop a new political theory of welfare in the global south. As such, this book is an ambitious analytical and empirical contribution to understanding the causes of a sweeping shift in the nature of state welfare provision in Turkey during the recent decades--part of a global trend that extends far beyond Turkey. Most scholarship about Turkey and similar countries has explained this shift toward poor relief as a response to demographic and structural changes including aging populations, the decline in the economic weight of industry, and the informalization of labor, while ignoring the effect of grassroots politics. In order to overcome these theoretical shortages in the literature, the book revisits concepts of political containment and political mobilization from the earlier literature on the mid-twentieth-century welfare state development and incorporates the effects of grassroots politics in order to understand the recent welfare system shift as it materialized in Turkey, where a new matrix of political dynamics has produced new large-scale social assistance programs.
