La construction d’une « économie de marché » constitue le critère essentiel du processus d’élargissement de l’Europe. Mais qu’entend-on au juste par « marché » ? Peut-on le comprendre autrement que comme un schéma idéal qui transforme les pays candidats en élèves plus ou moins appliqués, mais toujours fautifs ? Et quelle est l’importance du « marché » dans les transformations que traversent les pays de l’Europe de l’Est ? En se fondant sur une enquête de terrain au plus près des pratiques, des représentations et des valeurs des villageois roumains, Sabina Stan montre que la transformation postsocialiste de l’agriculture coopérative ne renoue pas avec son passé « paysan ». Elle s’inscrit dans la continuité des rapports de force qui l’ont structurée durant les dernières décennies du régime socialiste. Au sein de ces rapports de pouvoir, les cadres agricoles occupent une place essentielle, même si l’agriculture coopérative reste soumise aux contraintes du gouvernement, des propriétaires terriens ou de la situation fluctuante de l’agriculture roumaine dans l’économie mondiale. Attentive aux usages sociaux ou familiaux, aux négociations pour le travail ou aux reconfigurations internes au village qu’entraînent les nouvelles mesures de politique nationale, l’auteur établit la nécessité de comprendre de l’intérieur les processus sociaux qui sous-tendent les marchés économiques plutôt que d’appliquer des catégories générales.

Making History Count introduces the main quantitative methods used in historical research. The emphasis is on intuitive understanding and application of the concepts, rather than formal statistics; no knowledge of mathematics beyond simple arithmetic is required. The techniques are illustrated by applications in social, political, demographic and economic history. Students will learn to read and evaluate the application of the quantitative methods used in many books and articles, and to assess the historical conclusions drawn from them. They will also see how quantitative techniques can open up new aspects of an enquiry, and supplement and strengthen other methods of research. This textbook will encourage students to recognize the benefits of using quantitative methods in their own research projects. The text is clearly illustrated with tables, graphs and diagrams, leading the student through key topics. Additional support includes five specific historical data-sets, available from the Cambridge website.

' Measuring the sustainability of development is crucial to achieving it and is one of the most actively studied issues in the area. To date most studies of measurements or indicators have been largely theoretical. However this book a follow-on to Bell and Morse's highly influential Sustainability Indicators (1999) presents valuable practical advice on how to develop measurements that will work in real-life development contexts. It describes and analyses how to derive validate and apply indicators in the course of an actual development project.
