Abstract

La 4e de couv. indique : "Il ne s'agit pas dans cette étude philosophique de penser quelle pourrait être une politique humaine envers les animaux, mais de penser le politique à partir de l'animal. Cette tache implique de suspendre les connotations péjoratives qui imprègnent la pensée moderne concernant le caractère "primitif" de l'état de nature. Ce que les bêtes nous apprennent de la politique propose de revenir sur le concept de nature en développant les notions de jeu et de sympathie par lesquelles le corps animal exprime une capacité à s'abstraire de ses limites formelles et fonctionnelles. Pour Massumi, les humains et les animaux existent dans un continuum. Comprendre ce continuum tout en rendant compte des différences requiert une nouvelle logique de "l'inclusion mutuelle". Ce faisant, ce livre questionne non seulement le thème du comportement animal, mais également celui de la pensée animale au regard des aptitudes qui définissent, dans la plupart des doctrines, le propre de l'humain : le langage et la conscience réflexive."

Abstract

Des parlementaires des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, l’historiographie retient avant tout l’image de magistrats souverains, jaloux de leurs prérogatives judiciaires, de leur prestige et dont l’histoire publique est d’abord faite de complexes relations avec la monarchie. En les plaçant au cœur de l’analyse comme acteurs de la vie locale et provinciale, les auteurs de ce livre, historiens du droit et historiens modernistes, proposent un déplacement du regard de l’institution vers les hommes qui l’incarnent et la font vivre. Sortis de leur face à face avec la Monarchie, les parlementaires, entendus tant comme groupe que comme ensemble d’individualités, se révèlent des interlocuteurs incontournables des municipalités, des intendants, des gouverneurs ou des États provinciaux mais aussi des agents actifs d’une identité provinciale. Cette démarche invite à considérer la ville et la province comme lieux d’exercice de la fonction mais aussi comme lieux de vie de cette élite dont il s’agit dès lors de mesurer le poids politique, social et économique. Isolément, aucune de ces perspectives n’était inexplorée, cependant l’évolution de la recherche montre l’intérêt de rouvrir le dossier en reformulant les interrogations mais aussi en croisant ces diverses perspectives.

Abstract

It is a widespread view that democracy and the advanced nation-state are in crisis, weakened by globalization and undermined by global capitalism, in turn explaining rising inequality and mounting populism. This book, written by two of the world's leading political economists, argues this view is wrong: advanced democracies are resilient, and their enduring historical relationship with capitalism has been mutually beneficial. For all the chaos and upheaval over the past century--major wars, economic crises, massive social change, and technological revolutions--Torben Iversen and David Soskice show how democratic states continuously reinvent their economies through massive public investment in research and education, by imposing competitive product markets and cooperation in the workplace, and by securing macroeconomic discipline as the preconditions for innovation and the promotion of the advanced sectors of the economy. Critically, this investment has generated vast numbers of well-paying jobs for the middle classes and their children, focusing the aims of aspirational families, and in turn providing electoral support for parties. Gains at the top have also been shared with the middle (though not the bottom) through a large welfare state. Contrary to the prevailing wisdom on globalization, advanced capitalism is neither footloose nor unconstrained: it thrives under democracy precisely because it cannot subvert it. Populism, inequality, and poverty are indeed great scourges of our time, but these are failures of democracy and must be solved by democracy.

Abstract

The Euro-crisis of 2009-2012 vividly demonstrated that European Union policies matter for the distribution of resources within and between European nation-states. Throughout the crisis, distributive conflicts between the EU's winners and losers worsened, and are still reverberating in European politics today. In Unequal Europe, Jason Beckfield demonstrates that there is a direct connection between European integration and the increase in European income inequality over the past four decades. He places the recent crisis into a broader sociological, political, and economic perspective by analyzing how European integration has reshaped the distribution of income across the households of Europe. Using individual-and household-level income survey data, combined with macro-level data on social policies, and case studies of welfare reforms in EU and non-EU states, Beckfield shows how European integration has re-stratified Europe by simultaneously drawing national economies closer together and increasing inequality among households. Explaining how, where, and why income inequality has changed in the EU, Unequal Europe answers the question: who wins and who loses from European integration?

Abstract

The final book from a towering pioneer in the study of poverty and inequality—a critically important examination of poverty around the worldIn this, his final book, economist Anthony Atkinson, one of the world’s great social scientists and a pioneer in the study of poverty and inequality, offers an inspiring analysis of a central question: What is poverty and how much of it is there around the globe? The persistence of poverty—in rich and poor countries alike—is one of the most serious problems facing humanity. Better measurement of poverty is essential for raising awareness, motivating action, designing good policy, gauging progress, and holding political leaders accountable for meeting targets. To help make this possible, Atkinson provides a critically important examination of how poverty is—and should be—measured.Bringing together evidence about the nature and extent of poverty across the world and including case studies of sixty countries, Atkinson addresses both financial poverty and other indicators of deprivation. He starts from first principles about the meaning of poverty, translates these into concrete measures, and analyzes the data to which the measures can be applied. Crucially, he integrates international organizations’ measurements of poverty with countries’ own national analyses.Atkinson died before he was able to complete the book, but at his request it was edited for publication by two of his colleagues, John Micklewright and Andrea Brandolini. In addition, François Bourguignon and Nicholas Stern provide afterwords that address key issues from the unfinished chapters: how poverty relates to growth, inequality, and climate change.The result is an essential contribution to efforts to alleviate poverty around the world.

Abstract

Toutes les sociétés humaines ont besoin de justifier leurs inégalités : il faut leur trouver des raisons, faute de quoi c’est l’ensemble de l’édifice politique et social qui menace de s’effondrer. Les idéologies du passé, si on les étudie de près, ne sont à cet égard pas toujours plus folles que celles du présent. C’est en montrant la multiplicité des trajectoires et des bifurcations possibles que l’on peut interroger les fondements de nos propres institutions et envisager les conditions de leur transformation. À partir de données comparatives d’une ampleur et d’une profondeur inédites, ce livre retrace dans une perspective tout à la fois économique, sociale, intellectuelle et politique l’histoire et le devenir des régimes inégalitaires, depuis les sociétés trifonctionnelles et esclavagistes anciennes jusqu’aux sociétés postcoloniales et hypercapitalistes modernes, en passant par les sociétés propriétaristes, coloniales, communistes et sociales-démocrates. À l’encontre du récit hyper inégalitaire qui s’est imposé depuis les années 1980-1990, il montre que c’est le combat pour l’égalité et l’éducation, et non pas la sacralisation de la propriété, qui a permis le développement économique et le progrès humain. En s’appuyant sur les leçons de l’histoire globale, il est possible de rompre avec le fatalisme qui nourrit les dérives identitaires actuelles et d’imaginer un socialisme participatif pour le XXIe siècle : un nouvel horizon égalitaire à visée universelle, une nouvelle idéologie de l’égalité, de la propriété sociale, de l’éducation et du partage des savoirs et des pouvoirs.
