Le cycle démocratique, vieux de deux siècles, est-il arrivé à son terme?? On pourrait le penser à en juger par les signes inquiétants que constituent la poussée des populismes, la défiance des citoyens, la montée de l'abstention électorale. Et si la démocratie telle que nous la connaissons se révélait en fin de compte inadaptée aux conditions sociales nouvelles créées par la mondialisation?? Telle est l'interrogation que poursuit Raffaele Simone dans ce livre. La démocratie, explique-t-il, repose sur une série de « fictions » – la liberté, l'égalité, la souveraineté, la majorité – qui vont contre la « politique naturelle » à base d'inégalité et de rapports de force. Avons-nous encore les moyens de domestiquer ces données?? Ou bien ne sont-elles pas irrésistiblement ramenées par un ensemble de facteurs qui vont des illusions mêmes produites par les fictions démocratiques aux évolutions du capitalisme et au règne des médias?? Vers quel modèle politique ces tendances puissantes nous dirigent-elles??

"Challenging the Westphalian view of international relations, which focuses on the sovereignty of states and the inevitable potential for conflict, the authors from the Borderlands Study Group reconceive borders as capillaries enabling the flow of material, cultural, and social benefits through local communities, nation-states, and entire regions. By emphasizing local agency and regional interdependencies, this metaphor reconfigures current narratives about the China India border and opens a new perspective on the long history of the Silk Roads, the modern BCIM Initiative, and dam construction along the Nu River in China and the Teesta River in India. Together, the authors show that positive interaction among people on both sides of a border generates larger, cross-border communities, which can pressure for cooperation and development. India China offers the hope that people divided by arbitrary geo-political boundaries can circumvent race, gender, class, religion, and other social barriers, to form more inclusive institutions and forms of governance.".
