Le débat intellectuel et public français cherche ses nouveaux repères. Après l'échec des régimes communistes, les idées marxistes sont aujourd'hui frappées de discrédit. Leur emprise s'est relâchée : les substituts altermondialiste ou populiste ne sont pas les seules alternatives. En réalité, le nouveau contexte libère l'espace de la pensée politique en autorisant la remise au débat du libéralisme. La France se déclare quasi unanimement anti-libérale dans un monde devenu libéral. L'antilibéralisme, ce véritable ciment d'une idéologie française, vient à nouveau d'être illustré par le rejet du référendum constitutionnel et du contrat de première embauche censé apporter une réponse à la grave crise du chômage des jeunes. Pourtant, la plupart de ses gouvernements, de gauche comme de droite, ont conduit, sans parfois oser l'avouer, nombre de réformes inspirées par le libéralisme - à commencer par l'adhésion à l'Europe et à ses règles. Pourtant, inventé par la France au Siècle des Lumières, le libéralisme irrigue profondément les racines de notre Révolution et de notre République, se distinguant de sa définition anglo-saxonne. En éclairant son passé et en lui restituant son importance, c'est toute l'histoire de notre démocratie qui pourra apparaître sous un jour nouveau. Le divorce entre l'opinion française et le libéralisme paraît ainsi relever d'un vaste malentendu qu'il faut aujourd'hui dissiper. Que s'est-il donc passé ? De quelles frustrations ce paradoxe est-il révélateur ? Comment le libéralisme, synonyme de la gauche progressiste en France jusqu'au début du XIXe siècle - et encore aujourd'hui presque partout ailleurs que chez nous - s'est-il trouvé rejeté à la droite - voire à l'extrême droite - de notre échiquier politique ? Comment notre société s'est-elle édifiée un aussi monumental tabou ? Le moment est venu de faire la psychanalyse de cette peur irraisonnée qui gangrène depuis trop longtemps la pensée politique de notre pays. Pour s'implanter durablement dans notre pays, le libéralisme doit redevenir populaire.

This collection brings together new and original critical essays by eleven established European American Studies scholars to explore the 1960s from a transatlantic perspective. Intended for an academic audience interested in globalized American studies, it examines topics ranging from the impact of the American civil rights movement in Germany, France and Wales, through the transatlantic dimensions of feminism and the counterculture movement. It explores, for example, the vicissitudes of Europe's status in US foreign relations, European documentaries about the Vietnam War, transatlantic trends in literature and culture, and the significance of collective and cultural memory of the era.

This volume focuses on a number of research questions, drawn from social movement scholarship: How does nonviolent mobilisation emerge and persist in deeply divided societies? What are the trajectories of participation in violent groups in these societies? What is the relationship between overt mobilisation, clandestine operations and protests among political prisoners? What is the role of media coverage and identity politics? Can there be non-sectarian collective mobilisation in deeply divided societies? The answers to these questions do not merely try to explain contentious politics in Northern Ireland; instead, they inform future research on social movements beyond this case. Specifically, we argue that an actor-based approach and the contextualisation of contentious politics provide a dynamic theoretical framework to better understand the Troubles and the development of conflicts in deeply divided societies.

The past few years have seen an unexpected resurgence of street-level protest movements around the world, from the uprisings of the Arab Spring to the rise of the anti-austerity Indignados in Spain and Greece to the global spread of the Occupy movement. This collection is designed to offer a comparative analysis of these movements, setting them in international, socio-economic, and cross-cultural perspective in order to help us understand why movements emerge, what they do, how they spread, and how they fit into both local and worldwide historical contexts. As the most significant wave of mass protests in decades continues apace, this book offers an authoritative analysis that could not be more timely.

This study presents the contemporary Islamic resurgence movement among young people in Bandung Indonesia, focusing on its emergence, development and routinisation. It traces various factors and conditions that contributed to the emergence of the movement. It also tries to explain how and why young people (students in particular) turn to Islam, and how the movement is organised and developed among students. Finally, it examines internal changes among various Islamic groups as responses to social, political and cultural changes.

The Intimate Life of Dissent examines the meanings and implications of public acts of dissent, drawing on examples from ethnography and history. Acts of dissent are never simply just about abstract principles, but also come at great personal risk to both the dissidents and to those close to them. Dissent is, therefore, embedded in deep, complex and sometimes contradictory intimate relations. This book puts acts of high principle back into the personal relations out of which they emerge and take effect, raising new questions about the relationship between intimacy and political commitment. It does so through an introduction and eight individual chapters, drawing on examples including Sri Lankan leftists, Soviet dissidents, Tibetan exiles, Kurdish prisoners, British pacifists, Indonesian student activists and Jewish peace activists. The Intimate Life of Dissent will be of interest to postgraduate students and researchers of anthropology, history, political theory and sociology. Written in a clear and accessible style, it is also suitable for teaching introductory undergraduate courses on political anthropology.
