Abstract

Why do some ethnic parties succeed in attracting the support of their target ethnic group while others fail? In a world in which ethnic parties flourish in both established and emerging democracies alike, understanding the conditions under which such parties rise and fall is of critical importance to both political scientists and policy makers. Drawing on a study of variation in the performance of ethnic parties in India, this book builds a theory of ethnic party performance in 'patronage democracies'. Chandra shows why individual voters and political entrepreneurs in such democracies condition their strategies not on party ideologies or policy platforms, but on a headcount of co-ethnics and others across party personnel and among the electorate.

Abstract

En mars 1789, Pierre-François Lepoutre, fermier à Linselles, est élu député de la gouvernance de Lille aux États généraux ; son élection constitue en elle-même un épisode révélateur de la dynamique politique dans laquelle la France est engagée. Notre paysan croyait sans doute rester quelques semaines à Versailles ; en fait, membre de l’Assemblée devenue nationale constituante, il séjourne au cœur de la France en révolution et reste deux ans et demi loin de la ferme des Wattines que dirige son épouse, Angélique Lepoutre-Delputte. Ainsi séparé, le couple échange près de 500 lettres. Ce volume restitue fidèlement la majeure partie de cette correspondance exceptionnelle. Elle constitue une évocation très concrète de l’histoire générale de la Révolution tout en fourmillant de notations sur les préoccupations quotidiennes des députés. Mais cette correspondance à double sens permet aussi d’appréhender l’indéniable mise en mouvement des provinces par l’événement révolutionnaire. On perçoit bien la complexité des adhésions et des refus à l’égard du changement en cours, l’enchevêtrement des espoirs et des inquiétudes dans les campagnes flamandes qui ne sont pas aussi immédiatement antirévolutionnaire qu’on le prétend parfois. À côté des grands engagements et de la grave question religieuse, c’est une multitude de préoccupations qui s’enchevêtrent : des problèmes de subsistance à la contrebande, de la révolution brabançonne aux rumeurs de guerre, des contributions patriotiques aux problèmes des assignats. Par ailleurs, les lettres nous font pénétrer à la fois dans une exploitation agricole et dans la vie d’une famille de notables villageois. L’intensification de l’agriculture et la diversification des activités, l’importance des fêtes familiales et l’étendue du réseau de relations, où figurent bien des noms connus, le souci du député de sauvegarder son approvisionnement en beurre flamand et l’impatience de l’épouse, sur qui pèse lourdement cette longue séparation,…

Abstract

Isabel I's reign in Castile responds to the ostensible needs expressed throughout the fifteenth-century for moral and political regeneration. Isabel is seen in many works as a just and wise monarch, as a redeemer of her people, and as a divine sovereign. This book reviews changes in the gendered construction of Isabelline sovereignty from the theoretical perspective of the speculum principum dedicated to her. It offers a Bourdieuian approach to the more literary specula texts used to legitimize and uphold Isabel's power.

Abstract

Célèbre pour ses mines d’argent, la région de Zacatecas connaît à partir de la fin du xviie siècle un renouveau de ses activités économiques. Une dynamique sociale originale accompagne cette reprise minière exceptionnelle : celle de l’immigrant espagnol, hidalgo parfois désargenté, venu en Nouvelle- Espagne sans autre bagage que son ambition voire ses relations familiales, qui s’enrichit, devient un grand propriétaire terrien et va jusqu’à acquérir un titre de noblesse. F. Langue analyse ces relations entre la conjoncture de l’exploitation minière et l’évolution sociale. Elle met en valeur la dualité des personnages qui tirent profit de la situation : ils sont modernes du point de vue économique, et peuvent être rapprochés de l’“entrepreneur” au sens de J.-B. Say mais ils se caractérisent aussi sur le plan social par des comportements que l’on peut qualifier de “seigneuriaux” (liens personnels, systèmes de clientèles). Et il n’est pas surprenant de constater que le type social ainsi créé perdure tout au long du dix-neuvième siècle mexicain, constituant ainsi un exemple d’inscription de mentalités dans la longue durée.

Abstract

This volume presents 18 IMF research studies on the causes and consequences of corruption, as well as how it can most effectively be combated to improve governance, increase economic growth, and reduce poverty. The authors examine how civil service wages affect corruption, the impact of natural resource availability on corruption, the impact of corruption on a country’s income distribution and incidence of poverty, and the effect of corruption on government expenditures on health and education.

Abstract

Despite its democratic structure, Japan's government has been dominated by a single party, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) since 1955. This book offers an explanation for why, even in the face of great dissatisfaction with the LDP, no opposition party has been able to offer itself as a credible challenger in Japan. Understanding such failure is important for many reasons, from its effect on Japanese economic policy to its implications for what facilitates democratic responsiveness more broadly. The principal explanations for opposition failure in Japan focus on the country's culture and electoral system. This book offers a new interpretation, arguing that a far more plausible explanation rests on the predominance in Japan of clientelism, combined with a centralized government structure and electoral protection for groups that benefit from clientelism. While the central case in the book is Japan, the analysis is also comparative and applies the framework cross-nationally.

Abstract

This new study of politics and power in seventeenth-century France argues that the French crown centralized its power nationally by changing the way it delegated its royal patronage in the provinces.
