The democratic Left in India is in crisis. During the first decade of this century it slid from its highest parliamentary presence to virtual irrelevance. A key to its retrieval, this book argues, lies in its ability to imagine a new popular politics for reinventing its democratic credentials beyond electoral posturing. In this respect, much can be learnt from the Left's governmental practices as they have evolved since the late 1960s, crafting a unique blend of politics, policy, idealism, practicality, vision and delivery. By looking at the problematics of government from the days of deft land reforms to messy land acquisition, this book situates 'government as practice' as a prism for critical thinking on democratic politics in postcolonial India. Grounded in empirical and archival research, the book will be useful for those who are passionate as well as sceptical about the revival potentials of a new Left in India's fast-changing political economy.

Liberal candidates, scholars, and activists mainly promote pragmatism rather than large and powerful narratives - which may be called 'alpha stories' for their commanding presence over time. Alternatively, conservative counterparts to such liberals tend to promote their policy preferences in alpha stories praising effective markets, excellent traditions, and limited government. In this face-off, liberals represent a post-Enlightenment world where many modern people, following Max Weber, are 'disenchanted', while many conservatives, echoing Edmund Burke, cherish stories borrowed from the past. Politics without Stories describes this storytelling gap as an electoral disadvantage for liberals because their campaigning lacks, and will continue to lack, the inspiration and shared commitments that great, long-term stories can provide. Therefore, Ricci argues that, for tactical purposes, liberals should concede their post-Enlightenment skepticism and rally around short-term stories designed to frame, in political campaigns, immediate situations which they regard as intolerable. These may help liberals win elections and influence the course of modern life.

Groupuscules se référant au nazisme, au fascisme ou au national-bolchevisme, mouvances skinheads, contre-culture jeune, courants néo-païens et aryens : la Russie post-communiste est animée par de virulents mouvements d’extrême droite qui regroupent un large spectre idéologique. L’objectif de cette étude est de retracer leur histoire depuis l’effondrement de l’Union soviétique, de comprendre leur évolution politique, mais également de se donner des clés de lecture plus générales sur la société russe contemporaine. Décrire et analyser le phénomène du nationalisme en soi, tel est l’objet de ce livre sans précédent. L’extrême droite, loin d’être archaïque, révèle indirectement les profonds bouleversements auxquels Moscou fait face depuis deux décennies, à commencer par le besoin de reformuler une nouvelle identité collective. Un ouvrage international regroupant de nombreux spécialistes russes et allemands sous la direction de Marlène Laruelle, à qui l’on doit Mythe aryen et rêve impérial dans la Russie du xixe siècle (2005).
