Filtres des identités, garantes des souverainetés, à la fois ponts et forteresses, les frontières ne se limitent pas à un poste de douane ou une ligne de barbelé. Si elles existent, ce n’est pas seulement parce que les hommes les ont arbitrairement décrétées, mais surtout parce qu’elles permettent aux cultures humaines de concilier pacifiquement le local et le global, le spécifique et l’universel. 60 chapitres et des cartes inédites pour comprendre toute la complexité de cette notion de « limite », du « limes » romain du Ier siècle, jusqu’au mur israélien du XXIe, des remparts de Carcassone à Check Point Charlie, du fond des océans au silence des espaces intersidéraux.

Od 2013 r. tureccy politycy intensywnie głoszą nadejście „nowej Turcji”. W ich przekonaniu zmiany, które Partia Sprawiedliwości i Rozwoju (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, AKP) zaczęła wprowadzać po objęciu władzy w 2002 r., mają ostatecznie doprowadzić do radykalnej odmiany oblicza państwa. W 2023 r. – a więc w stulecie istnienia – Republika Turcji, silna, stabilna i „pewna siebie”, zdolna kształtować sytuację w regionie, ma być jednym z ośrodków nowego, wielobiegunowego ładu międzynarodowego. Wprowadzenie systemu prezydenckiego wskutek referendum z 16 kwietnia 2017 r. stanowi kolejny krok, a zarazem nowy impuls, w tym kierunku. Te pomysły – i niełatwe uwarunkowania, w jakich są realizowane – powodują, że od dłuższego czasu Turcja nie znika z czołówek gazet na całym świecie. Badacze i analitycy zastanawiają się, jakie będzie to nowe oblicze Republiki Turcji. Czy nadal będzie świeckim państwem, zorientowanym na integrację ze strukturami zachodnimi? Czy też reformy wewnętrzne stanowią zapowiedź nieuniknionego, radykalnego zwrotu w polityce zagranicznej? Jaką strategię wobec takiej Turcji powinna przyjąć Unia Europejska?

Throughout history, human societies have been organized preeminently as territories—politically bounded regions whose borders define the jurisdiction of laws and the movement of peoples. At a time when the technologies of globalization are eroding barriers to communication, transportation, and trade, Once Within Borders explores the fitful evolution of territorial organization as a worldwide practice of human societies. Master historian Charles S. Maier tracks the epochal changes that have defined territories over five centuries and draws attention to ideas and technologies that contribute to territoriality’s remarkable resilience. Territorial boundaries transform geography into history by providing a framework for organizing political and economic life. But properties of territory—their meanings and applications—have changed considerably across space and time. In the West, modern territoriality developed in tandem with ideas of sovereignty in the seventeenth century. Sovereign rulers took steps to fortify their borders, map and privatize the land, and centralize their sway over the populations and resources within their domain. The arrival of railroads and the telegraph enabled territorial expansion at home and abroad as well as the extension of control over large spaces. By the late nineteenth century, the extent of a nation’s territory had become an index of its power, with overseas colonial possessions augmenting prestige and wealth and redefining territoriality. Turning to the geopolitical crises of the twentieth century, Maier pays close attention to our present moment, asking in what ways modern nations and economies still live within borders and to what degree our societies have moved toward a post-territiorial world.

In 2014, the ethics and politics of hospitality were brought into stark relief. Three years into the Syrian conflict, which had already created nearly 2.5 million refugees and internally displaced 6.5 million, the UN called on industrialised countries to share the burden of offering hospitality through a fixed quota system. The UK opted out of the system whilst hailing their acceptance of a moral responsibility by welcoming only 500 of the most vulnerable' Syrians. Given the state's exclusionary character, what opportunities do other spaces in international politics offer by way of hospitality to migrants and refugees? Hospitality can take many different forms and have many diverse purposes. But wherever it occurs, the boundaries that enable it and make it possible are both created and unsettled via exercises of power and their resistance. Through modern examples including refugee camps, global cities, postcolonial states and Europe, as well as analysis of Derridean and Foucauldian concepts, Migration, Ethics and Power explores: The process and practice of hospitality The spaces that hospitality produces The intimate relationship between ethics and power This is a brilliantly contemporary text for students of politics, international relations and political geography.

Depuis le XIXe siècle, les historiens français et allemands racontent une histoire fondamentalement différente de la transition entre le monde carolingien et les Xe-XIIe siècles : pour les premiers, l'apparition de principautés « territoriales » dans le monde post-carolingien est avant toute chose le signe de la désagrégation des institutions carolingiennes et représente une mutation fondamentale dans l'organisation des pouvoirs. Pour les seconds, il n'y a pas de véritable solution de continuité dans un système où le pouvoir a toujours reposé non sur la domination d'un territoire mais sur l'importance des liens interpersonnels entre le roi et l'aristocratie, et cela dès l'époque carolingienne. Le but de cet ouvrage est de montrer comment l'importance dévolue au caractère territorial du pouvoir - largement remis en question par la recherche actuelle - a influé sur la manière dont on raconte l'histoire de l'empire carolingien et des royaumes post-carolingiens à l'Est et à l'Ouest du Rhin, grâce à plusieurs mises au point historiographiques et à de nombreuses études de cas.

It is difficult to speak about Europe today without reference to its constitutive regions—supra-national geographical designations such as “Scandinavia,” “Eastern Europe,” and “the Balkans.” Such formulations are so ubiquitous that they are frequently treated as empirical realities rather than a series of shifting, overlapping, and historically constructed concepts. This volume is the first to provide a synthetic account of these concepts and the historical and intellectual contexts in which they emerged. Bringing together prominent international scholars from across multiple disciplines, it systematically and comprehensively explores how such “meso-regions” have been conceptualized throughout modern European history.

Rééditer Pour une géographie du pouvoir près de quarante ans après sa publication initiale en 1980 constitue une forme de manifeste, tant la réception de ce livre a été contrastée : décrié par ses pairs au moment de sa sortie, reconnu aujourd’hui par Claude Raffestin lui-même comme « hétérodoxe », il s’agit d’un ouvrage qui continue de marquer durablement ses lecteurs. S’il reste d’une actualité si vive aujourd’hui, c’est parce qu’il aurait pu s’intituler Pour une géographie du territoire, notion centrale dans la géographie contemporaine. Il définit en effet la territorialité comme médiation spatiale des rapports sociaux, un apport majeur pour toutes les sciences sociales. Proposant de mettre en avant l’espace d’autonomie qui existe dans la perception et la construction d’une relation de pouvoir, l’ouvrage exprime une géographie engagée qui pose les bases de la géopolitique critique. Par la centralité de son analyse relationnelle, son examen des ressources et des flux, il ouvre des pistes vers une écologie politique alors inédite. Republishing Pour une géographie du pouvoir forty years after it first came out in 1980 could be construed as a form of manifesto. For the book received a very mixed reception when it was first published. Decried at the time by many people working in the field and today recognised by Claude Raffestin himself as a ‘heterodox’ work, it continues to have a lasting impact on its readers. The reason that it continues to elicit strong feelings today is because it could have been entitled Pour une géographie du territoire, evoking a key notion in contemporary geography. Raffestin thus makes a major contribution to the social sciences as a whole by defining territoriality as a form of spatial mediation of social relations. The importance which he places on the degree of autonomy which exists between the perception and the construction of power relations is the expression of a committed geography which establishes a basis for critical…
