Abstract

From Thomas Piketty to David Harvey, scholars are increasingly questioning whether we are entering into a post-capitalist era. If so, does this new epoch signal the failure of capitalism and emergence of alternative systems? Or does it mark the ultimate triumph of capitalism as it evolves into an unstoppable entity that takes new forms as it engulfs its opposition? After Capitalism brings together leading scholars from across the academy to offer competing perspectives on capitalism's past incarnations, present conditions, and possible futures. Some contributors reassess classic theorizations of capitalism in light of recent trends, including real estate bubbles, debt relief protests, and the rise of a global creditocracy. Others examine Marx's writings, unemployment, hoarding, "capitalist realism," and coyote (trickster) capitalism, among many other topics. Media and design trends locate the key ideologies of the current economic moment, with authors considering everything from the austerity aesthetics of reality TV to the seductive smoothness of liquid crystal. Even as it draws momentous conclusions about global economic phenomena, After Capitalism also pays close attention to locales as varied as Cuba, India, and Latvia, examining the very different ways that economic conditions have affected the relationship between the state and its citizens. Collectively, these essays raise provocative questions about how we should imagine capitalism in the twenty-first century. Will capitalism, like all economic systems, come to an end, or does there exist in history or elsewhere a hidden world that is already post-capitalist, offering alternative possibilities for thought and action?

Abstract

This is an innovative study of how race and empire transformed French republican citizenship in the early Third Republic. Elizabeth Heath integrates the histories of the wine-producing department of Aude and the sugar-producing colony of Guadeloupe to reveal the ways in which empire was integral to the Third Republic's ability to stabilize a republican regime that began to unravel in an age of economic globalization. She shows how global economic factors shaped negotiations between local citizens and the Third Republic over the responsibilities of the Republic to its citizens leading to the creation of two different and unequal forms of citizenship that became constitutive of the interwar imperial nation-state and the French welfare state. Her findings shed important new light on the tensions within republicanism between ideals of liberty and equality and on the construction of race as a meaningful social category at a foundational moment in French history.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the impact of citizenship laws on economic development. We first document the evolution of citizenship laws around the world, highlighting the main features of jus soli, jus sanguinis as well as mixed regimes, and shedding light on the channels through which they could have differentiated impact on economic development. We then compile a data set of citizenship laws around the world. Using cross-country regressions, panel-data techniques, as well as the synthetic control method and subjecting the results to a battery of tests, we find robust evidence that jus soli laws—being more inclusive—lead to higher income levels than alternative citizenship rules in developing countries, though to a less extent in countries with stronger institutional environment.

Abstract

[3e éd.] La première édition du Traité de la nationalité belge, parue en 1993 et qui était l’œuvre de Ch.-L. Closset, constituait un ouvrage de référence, indispensable et précieux pour les praticiens du droit – magistrats, avocats, notaires, agents diplomatiques et consulaires, fonctionnaires des diverses administrations, comme pour les enseignants, les étudiants et, surtout, les citoyens, notamment ceux qui voulaient le devenir ou cesser de l’être. L’auteur y exposait avec une grande rigueur les difficultés d’application apparues après neuf ans de mise en oeuvre du Code de la nationalité, les modifications constitutionnelles et législatives intervenues jusqu’en 1993, et complétait l’ouvrage d’une abondante jurisprudence, souvent inédite, ainsi que de réflexions approfondies sur les conventions internationales, le régime administratif et judiciaire, la preuve de la nationalité et le régime de celle-ci en droit international privé. Lors d’une deuxième édition, parue en 2004, B. Renauld avait déjà mis à jour le Traité. L’actuelle troisième édition, entièrement mise à jour, présente l’état de la législation, de la doctrine et de la jurisprudence concernant l’attribution, l’acquisition, la perte et le recouvrement de la nationalité au 31 décembre 2014. B. Renauld, spécialiste du droit de la nationalité et auteur de plusieurs études critiques sur les dernières modifications législatives apportées à cette matière, conserve le plan, l’esprit ainsi qu’en grande partie le texte de l’ouvrage, tout en y apportant les nécessaires modifications dues aux réformes législatives intervenues. Nul doute que, à l’instar de la première édition, ce Traité se révèlera encore utile à quiconque porte intérêt à cette branche de droit complexe et délicate.

Abstract

The Brazilian Constitution provides a remarkable set of social rights, including the right to housing. Despite this fact, struggles for decent living conditions have become key issues in the daily urban lives of many people in Brazil. Contesting the differentiated access to housing, social movements occupy empty buildings in the cities to challenge historically-rooted and excluding urban politics. Exploring the occupants' agency, Bea Wittger draws attention to the important role of female actors within the buildings. Through oral histories of participants of two squats in Rio de Janeiro, the book delivers a deep insight "from below" into their own perspectives on citizenship and gender. »Mit ihrem Buch gibt Bea Witters dezidierte Einblicke in die alltägliche Auseinandersetzung darum wie ein Recht auf Wohnen von den Besetzer_innen verwirklicht bzw. verteidigt wird und welche An- und Widersprüche damit verbunden sind.« Katharina Schmidt, apropos, 3 (2019) »Eine lesenswerte, in Teilen gegenüber der eigenen Position als Wissenschaftlerin sehr selbstkritische Studie, die Einblicke in heterogene Lebensentwürfe und Denkweisen zweier Hausbesetzungen in Rio de Janeiro zulässt.« Katja Reuter, matices, 90 (2017) Besprochen in: C3 - Bibliothek für Entwicklungspolitik, 5 (2017) Fraunhofer IRB, 5 (2017)
