Abstract

The Italian Empire and the Great War brings an imperial and colonial perspective to the Italian experience of the First World War. Italy's decision for war in 1915 built on its imperial ambitions from the late 19th century onwards and its conquest of Libya in 1911-12. The Italian empire was conceived both in conventional terms as a system of settlement or exploitation colonies under Italian sovereignty, and as an informal global empire of emigrants; both were mobilized in support of the war in 1915-18. The war was designed to bring about 'a greater Italy' both literally and metaphorically. In pursuit of global status, Italy endeavoured to fight a global war, sending troops to the Balkans, Russia, and the Middle East, though with limited results. Italy's newest colony, Libya, was also a theatre of the Italian war effort, as the anti-colonial resistance there linked up with the Ottoman Empire, Germany, and Austria to undermine Italian rule. Italian race theories underpinned this expansionism: the book examines how Italian constructions of whiteness and racial superiority informed a colonial approach to military occupation in Europe as well as the conduct of its campaigns in Africa.

Abstract

À Paris, on entend de toute part le même refrain : "La Françafrique est morte et enterrée !" Pourtant, de Ouagadougou à Libreville, de Dakar à Yaoundé, de Bamako à Abidjan, la jeunesse se révolte contre ce qu'elle perçoit comme une mainmise française sur son destin. Quinze ans après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la France a officiellement octroyé l'indépendance à ses anciennes colonies africaines. Une liberté en trompe l'oeil. En réalité, Paris a perpétué l'Empire français sous une autre forme : la Françafrique. Un système où se mêlent des mécanismes officiels, assumés, revendiqués (militaires, monétaires, diplomatiques, culturels...), et des logiques de l'ombre, officieuses, souvent criminelles. Un système érigé contre les intérêts des peuples, avec l'assentiment d'une partie des élites africaines et qui profite toujours aux autocrates africains "amis de la France". Un système que tous les présidents français ont laissé prospérer, en dépit des promesses de "rupture". Exceptionnel par son ampleur, inédit par son contenu, cet ouvrage retrace cette histoire méconnue, depuis les origines coloniales de la Françafrique jusqu'à ses évolutions les plus récentes. Rédigées par des spécialistes reconnus - chercheurs, journalistes ou militants associatifs -, les contributions rassemblées dans ce livre montrent que le système françafricain, loin de se déliter, ne cesse de s'adapter pour perdurer. -- quatrième de couverture.

Abstract

"This book offers a critical analysis of the European colonial heritage in the Arab countries and highlights the way its legacy is still with us today, informing the current state of relations between Europe and the formerly colonized states. The work analyses the fraught relationship between the Western powers and the Arab countries that have been subject to their colonial rule. It does so by looking at this relationship from two vantage points. On the one hand is that of humanitarian intervention-a paradigm under which colonial rule coexisted alongside "humanitarian" policies pursued on the dual assumption that the colonized were "barbarous" peoples who wanted to be civilized and that the West could lay a claim of superiority over an inferior humanity. On the other hand is the Arab view, from which the humanitarian paradigm does not hold up, and which accordingly offers its own insights into the processes through which the Arab countries have sought to wrest themselves from colonial rule. In unpacking this analysis the book traces a history of international and colonial law, to this end also using the tools offered by the history of political thought." (p. de garde)

Abstract

La puissance des entreprises globales est devenue telle qu’il faut recourir à la mythologie pour en mesurer la démesure : de Walmart à Ikea, de Microsoft à Apple, de Huawei à Airbus, les Géants mondiaux et les Titans numériques caracolent en tête et creusent l’écart avec le reste du peloton, quel que soit le critère retenu – productivité, innovation, expansion internationale, part de marché ou profit. Mais le « très grand » n’est-il pas devenu « trop grand » ? Ce livre ne se contente pas d’analyser finement les ressorts de la réussite des entreprises hyperpuissantes. Il montre qu’elles contribuent à accroître les inégalités et à miner les démocraties par leur pouvoir sur les consommateurs.
