Abstract

Dans ce livre, aussi érudit que passionnant, Nicolas Chevassus-au-Louis nous emmène au pays des complots et de ceux qui les imaginent et les propagent : les complotistes. Si le développement d'internet et les attentats du 11 septembre à New York permirent aux théories les plus folles de circuler en quelques heures autour de la planète, les théories du complot existent depuis la nuit des siècles. Car de tout temps, des hommes ont cru que le des puissances obscures manipulaient le destin de l'humanité dans le plus grand secret. C'est à un voyage au pays des complots que nous convie l'auteur, des origines à nos jours, voyage dont vous reviendrez vous aussi avec bien des questions...

Abstract

Powerful societal leaders - such as politicians and Chief Executives - are frequently met with substantial distrust by the public. But why are people so suspicious of their leaders? One possibility is that 'power corrupts', and therefore people are right in their reservations. Indeed, there are numerous examples of unethical leadership, even at the highest level, as the Watergate and Enron scandals clearly illustrate. Another possibility is that people are unjustifiably paranoid, as underscored by some of the rather far-fetched conspiracy theories that are endorsed by a surprisingly large portion of citizens. Are societal power holders more likely than the average citizen to display unethical behaviour? How do people generally think and feel about politicians? How do paranoia and conspiracy beliefs about societal power holders originate? In this book, prominent scholars address these intriguing questions and illuminate the many facets of the relations between power, politics and paranoia.
