Abstract

Information and communication technologies have transformed the dynamics of contention in contemporary society. Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, and devices such as smartphones have increasingly played a central role in facilitating and mobilizing social movements throughout different parts of the world. Concurrently, the same technologies have been taken up by public authorities (including security agencies and the police) and have been used as surveillance tools to monitor and suppress the activities of certain demonstrators. The book explores the complex and contradictory relationships between communication and information technologies and social movements by drawing on different case studies from around the world. The contributions analyse how new communication and information technologies impact the way protests are carried out and controlled in the current information age. The authors focus on recent events that date from the Arab Spring onwards and pose questions regarding the future of protests, surveillance and digital landscapes.

Abstract

C’est en sociologue que Michel Wieviorka aborde la question du mal et formule une proposition aussi dérangeante que convaincante.Violence sans limites, haine raciste, repli identitaire : le mal progresse, partout dans le monde, et n’épargne pas la France. Michel Wieviorka lance ici une proposition apparemment iconoclaste: pour guérir
le mal, il faut plus de conflit.
Le mot de « mal » peut surprendre de la part du sociologue. C’est pourtant, avec l’antidote qu’il met
en avant, le conflit, ce qui fait la force et l’originalité
 de sa réflexion.
Pour faire face au mal, il est vain de céder à l’incantation d’une société harmonieuse, et il ne suffit pas de promouvoir le lien social, l’unité nationale, l’égalité républicaine, l’intégration de tous...
Non, l’urgent est d’encourager le débat et de reconnaître le conflit, mais pas la violence, pour
qu’ils se substituent à la crise.
Pour Michel Wieviorka, nous avons besoin de plus de relations conflictuelles. Il est grand temps, selon lui, de penser
le conflit et sa « ré-institutionnalisation », la réinvention du mouvement social et son traitement politique – là réside l’espoir de sortir de la violence brute.

Abstract

Of all the different types of civil war, disputes over self-determination are the most likely to escalate into war and resist compromise settlement. Reputation and Civil War argues that this low rate of negotiation is the result of reputation building, in which governments refuse to negotiate with early challengers in order to discourage others from making more costly demands in the future. Jakarta's wars against East Timor and Aceh, for example, were not designed to maintain sovereignty but to signal to Indonesia's other minorities that secession would be costly. Employing data from three different sources - laboratory experiments on undergraduates, statistical analysis of data on self-determination movements, and qualitative analyses of recent history in Indonesia and the Philippines - Barbara F. Walter provides some of the first systematic evidence that reputation strongly influences behavior, particularly between governments and ethnic minorities fighting over territory.

Abstract

During the first decade of the 21st century, a remarkable phenomenon swept through the former Soviet Union changing the political, social and cultural landscape. Popularly known as the 'Colour Revolutions', these non-violent protests overthrew autocratic regimes in three post-soviet republics: the Georgian Rose Revolution (2003), the Ukrainian Orange Revolution (2004) and the Kyrgyzstani Tulip Revolution (2005). This book examines the significance of these regime-change processes for the post-soviet world in particular and for global politics in the 21st century. <
