Abstract

L'autre société. Le culte de l'individu et la mondialisation du capitalisme n'ont pas accompli la promesse moderne de l'émancipation. Ils ont défait les liens sociaux, sans lesquels aucune liberté ne peut grandir. L'hyperlibéralisme engendre une dissociété violente et désordonnée, qui finit par susciter un rappel à l'ordre obscurantiste et antidémocratique. Le défi du XXIe siècle est dès lors de penser une autre société instituant des liens sociaux qui libèrent les individus. Ainsi, Généreux renoue avec l'essence du projet socialiste, mais en le refondant sur l'état contemporain des savoirs quant au fonctionnement des êtres humains. À la lumière des sciences de l'homme, et à l'opposé d'une gauche "moderne" qui court derrière des idées libérales dépassées, l'auteur dessine une République sociale et écologique, une "société du progrès humain" qui dépasse la modernité pour en accomplir la promesse.

Abstract

Taalgrens en ruimtelijke wanorde, de industriële glorie van Wallonië en de ellende van Brussel, Verkavelingsvlaams en plat Gents, Philips II en Willem I, zwart en wit, rechts pacifisme en links conservatisme, van Julius Caesar tot Bart De Wever, van Karel de Grote tot Elio Di Rupo; dit alles en nog veel meer vertelt, analyseert, vergelijkt, verklaart, vervloekt Geert van Istendael in dit boek. Hij doet dat in zijn onnavolgbare stijl, erudiet en grappig, soms keihard, soms vertederend, niet vies van krachtige standpunten, maar ook met een grote eerbied voor feiten en, in de mate van het mogelijke, objectiviteit. Wie België bemint, leze dit boek. Wie België haat, leze dit boek. Kortom, lees dit boek.

Abstract

Nations are not trapped by their pasts, but events that happened hundreds or even thousands of years ago continue to exert huge influence on present-day politics. If we are to understand the politics that we now take for granted, we need to understand its origins. Francis Fukuyama examines the paths that different societies have taken to reach their current forms of political order. This book starts with the very beginning of mankind and comes right up to the eve of the French and American revolutions, spanning such diverse disciplines as economics, anthropology and geography. The Origins of Political Order is a magisterial study on the emergence of mankind as a political animal, by one of the most eminent political thinkers writing today.

Abstract

"Overcoming state fragility is one of the most important international development objectives of the 21st century. Many fragile states have turned into failed states, where millions of people are caught in deprivation and seemingly hopeless conditions. Fragile states lack the authority, legitimacy, and capacity that a modern state needs to advance the development of its peoples, and present deep challenges for the design and implementation of development policy. For instance, how is aid to be designed and delivered in a way that will help people in fragile states if their governments lack capacity to absorb and use aid? And what can be done about adverse side-effects of fragile states on their neighbours and the global community, such as heightened insecurity, rising out-migration, displaced populations, and the destruction of natural resources? This book documents the far reaching global repercussions of state fragility and provides a timely contribution to the international discourse on three dimensions of fragile states: their causes, costs, and the responses required. It will appeal to scholars, policymakers, and donors who are concerned about conflict and development. Its aim is to contribute to our understanding of how strong and accountable states can be fostered-states where government and civil society progressively advance human wellbeing, underpin households' resilience in the face of shocks, and form effective partnerships to maximize the benefits of development assistance."--Publisher's website.
