The almost universally accepted explanation for the Iraq War is very clear and consistent - the US decision to attack Saddam Hussein's regime on March 19, 2003 was a product of the ideological agenda, misguided priorities, intentional deceptions and grand strategies of President George W. Bush and prominent 'neoconservatives' and 'unilateralists' on his national security team. Despite the widespread appeal of this version of history, Frank P. Harvey argues that it remains an unsubstantiated assertion and an underdeveloped argument without a logical foundation. His book aims to provide a historically grounded account of the events and strategies which pushed the US-UK coalition towards war. The analysis is based on both factual and counterfactual evidence, combines causal mechanisms derived from multiple levels of analysis and ultimately confirms the role of path dependence and momentum as a much stronger explanation for the sequence of decisions that led to war.

Nos sociétés modernes ont-elles encore besoin de héros ? Si en Europe de l'Ouest l'héroïsme national est considéré comme une expérience historiquement révolue ou à ce point redéfinie qu'elle en est méconnaissable, à l'Est, les États qui sortent du culte forcé des héros communistes réinventent, plus ou moins intensément, des héros nationaux. Des États-Unis à Israël, de l'Albanie à l'Irlande, de l'émergence enthousiaste de la nation moderne, à la fin du xviiie siècle, jusqu'à la reviviscence nationaliste qui se déroule sous nos yeux, les textes rassemblés dans ce livre tentent de cerner la fabrication d'un héros national, la mise en place d'une portion de panthéon, la liquidation ou la transformation soudaine des héros d'une période... De Napoléon aux parades des Orangistes, de Franco et Mussolini à Mère Teresa, des nouveaux héros guerriers serbes au père Popieluszko, ce parcours nous fait traverser différents espaces culturels, du local au national, de l'école élémentaire aux médias. S'il n'est pas possible à travers ces incarnations particulières de l'héroïcité, de tracer un portrait-robot du héros contemporain, on peut par contre en cerner certaines caractéristiques : la propension au sacrifice, la capacité médiatrice, l'intégration de traits appartenant à des héros antérieurs, l'aptitude à servir des causes parfois contradictoires. Ce livre analyse enfin le passage, aujourd'hui, d'un modèle héroïque d'identification collective à une individualisation et une banalisation dont l'ironie n'est pas absente et où le héros devient « homme sans qualités ». Du guerrier aux vertus surhumaines au premier venu, cet ouvrage nous propose, à travers un vaste échantillon de figures héroïques, une réfexion aussi vivante qu'actuelle sur la fabrication des héros.

For a decade Russia has been dismantling communism and building capitalism. Describing a deeply flawed fledgling market economy, Capitalism Russian-Style provides a progress report on one of the most important economic experiments going on in the world today. It describes Russian achievements in building private banks and companies, stock exchanges, new laws and law courts. It analyzes the role of the mafia, the rise of new financial empires, entrepreneurs and business tycoons, and the shrinking Russian state. Thane Gustafson tells how the Soviet system was dismantled and the new market society was born. He argues that this new society is changing constantly, so that any assessment of success and failure would be premature. Identifying investment as vital to preserving Russia's status as a major industrial power, in his final chapter he examines the prospects for an economic miracle in Russia in the twenty-first century.
