"Les territoires pe´riurbains, comme leur nom l'indique, sont des zones qui se situent « autour » de la ville. Ni tout a` fait urbains ni tout a` fait ruraux, ils sont le reflet des choix urbanistiques du XXe sie`cle. On les juge aujourd'hui avec se´ve´rite´ : ils seraient l'espace du repli sur soi, de l'e´goi¨sme et de l'homoge´ne´ite´ sociale. Pire : ils ne seraient pas e´cologiques, multipliant les infrastructures routie`res tout en de´vorant les terres agricoles. Pourtant, les e´tudes mene´es depuis une quarantaine d'anne´es permettent de nuancer ces visions caricaturales. Elles rendent justice a` un espace diversifie´, pluriel et socialement ouvert. Herve´ Marchal et Jean-Marc Ste´be´ prouvent que c'est me^me au cœur de la France pe´riurbaine que s'inventent des pratiques parmi les plus innovantes (e´nergie alternative, agriculture bio et solidaire, gouvernance participative, ame´nagement, animation culturelle ...)"--Quatrième de couverture.

Like other West European countries, the Netherlands are facing a growing uneasiness about its changing demographics. It is within this context that animated discussions concerning immigrant neighbourhoods dominate. The general opinion is that living in such neighbourhoods hinders the 'integration' of immigrants into Dutch society. This book contributes to the academic and policy debate by not only examining the effects of ethnic concentration, but also by finding out how people are sorted into neighbourhoods. Bringing together different bodies of literature, this book offers a more holistic vi

"This first volume of The Class Structure of Capitalist Societies offers a bold and wide-ranging assessment of the shape and effects of class systems across a diverse range of capitalist nations. Plumbing a trove of data and deploying cutting-edge techniques, it carefully maps the distribution of the key sources of power and documents the major convergences and divergences between market societies old and new. Establishing that the multidimensional vision of class proposed decades ago by Pierre Bourdieu appears to hold good throughout Europe, parts of the wider Western world and Eastern Asia, the book goes on to examine a number of significant themes: the relationship between class and occupation; the intersection of class with gender, religion, geography and age; the correspondences between social position and political attitudes; self-positioning in the class structure; and the extent of belief in meritocracy. For all the striking cross-national commonalities, however, the book unearths consistent variations seemingly linked to distinct politico-economic regimes. This title will appeal to scholars and advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in sociology, politics and demography and is essential reading for all those interested in social class across the globe.".
