Abstract

Comment intériorise-t-on des normes et des valeurs qui nous sont extérieures ? Comment des processus sociohistoriques sont-ils incarnés par des individus et des institutions ? Posant ces questions fondamentales de la sociologie à un terrain difficile d’accès et des archives inédites, ce livre nous rappelle que l’objet sociologique est conquis plutôt que donné et inséparable de la reconstruction de son histoire. L’auteure y interroge l’internationalisme politique à travers le prisme de l’éducation. Comment le qualificatif « international », qui désignait depuis le milieu du xixe siècle les relations entre des États-nations, est-il venu à désigner dans l’entre-deux guerres une « mentalité » spécifique et l’intériorité même de certains individus ainsi symboliquement séparés de tous les autres ? Comment s’est construite la légitimité des écoles dites internationales ? Comment expliquer leur élitisme ? L’auteure répond à ces questions à partir du cas du baccalauréat international, diplôme privé de fin d’études secondaires chapeauté par une organisation à but non lucratif. C’est en examinant la construction sociohistorique des normes unifiant des lycées à l’échelle intercontinentale, au-delà de la diversité prônée, qu’elle offre des pistes pour expliquer leurs configurations actuelles. Ce livre offre une analyse inédite de ce que veut dire « être international » aujourd’hui.

Abstract

Petit-fils de Karl Marx, fils de Charles Longuet, communard proudhonien et ami de Clemenceau, neveu de Paul et Laura Lafargue, filleul laïque de Friedrich Engels, Jean Longuet est mêlé dès son plus jeune âge à la vie de la gauche politique et intellectuelle française comme à celle du socialisme international. Il côtoie Guesde, Jaurès, Blum, mais aussi Kautsky et les autres responsables de la social-démocratie, les socialistes russes, les travaillistes britanniques et les militants américains, ainsi que les nationalistes marocains ou syriens, entre autres… Journaliste, avocat, militant, responsable de la politique internationale de la SFIO, il est confronté aux principaux drames du xxe siècle : la guerre, la révolution, les dictatures. Ses références sont celles de Marx, mais vues et comprises comme s’intégrant à la tradition socialiste française, à l’image de l’effort accompli par Jaurès pour définir les principes et la politique d’un socialisme adapté aux conditions del’époque. À la tête d’un courant qui se veut à la fois pacifiste, patriote et internationaliste pendant la Grande Guerre, fondateur du Populaire, homme de l’unité socialiste et de la reconstruction, il est récusé par Lénine et les bolcheviks et ne peut empêcher la scission de Tours (1920). Député, maire de Châtenay-Malabry et conseiller général, il n’est pas pour autant un notable ordinaire. Il reste hostile à la domination coloniale et favorable à une politique de fermeté face aux puissances fascistes. « Le seul internationaliste de la SFIO » selon le propos moqueur d’un contradicteur ? En tout cas, un militant qui cherche à « penser internationalement » et à inventer la pratique politique du socialisme en démocratie et en république.

Abstract

Chronicling the emergence of an international society in the 1920s, Daniel Gorman describes how the shock of the First World War gave rise to a broad array of overlapping initiatives in international cooperation. Though national rivalries continued to plague world politics, ordinary citizens and state officials found common causes in politics, religion, culture and sport with peers beyond their borders. The League of Nations, the turn to a less centralized British Empire, the beginning of an international ecumenical movement, international sporting events and audacious plans for the abolition of war all signaled internationalism's growth. State actors played an important role in these developments and were aided by international voluntary organizations, church groups and international networks of academics, athletes, women, pacifists and humanitarian activists. These international networks became the forerunners of international NGOs and global governance.

Abstract

In Reluctant Crusaders, Colin Dueck examines patterns of change and continuity in American foreign policy strategy by looking at four major turning points: the periods following World War I, World War II, the Cold War, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He shows how American cultural assumptions regarding liberal foreign policy goals, together with international pressures, have acted to push and pull U.S. policy in competing directions over time. The result is a book that combines an appreciation for the role of both power and culture in international affairs. The centerpiece of Dueck's book is his discussion of America's "grand strategy"--the identification and promotion of national goals overseas in the face of limited resources and potential resistance. One of the common criticisms of the Bush administration's grand strategy is that it has turned its back on a long-standing tradition of liberal internationalism in foreign affairs. But Dueck argues that these criticisms misinterpret America's liberal internationalist tradition. In reality, Bush's grand strategy since 9/11 has been heavily influenced by traditional American foreign policy assumptions. While liberal internationalists argue that the United States should promote an international system characterized by democratic governments and open markets, Dueck contends, these same internationalists tend to define American interests in broad, expansive, and idealistic terms, without always admitting the necessary costs and risks of such a grand vision. The outcome is often sweeping goals, pursued by disproportionately limited means.

Abstract

Narratives of anarchist and syndicalist history during the era of the first globalization and imperialism (1870-1930) have overwhelmingly been constructed around a Western European tradition centered on discrete national cases. This parochial perspective typically ignores transnational connections and the contemporaneous existence of large and influential libertarian movements in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Yet anarchism and syndicalism, from their very inception at the First International, were conceived and developed as international movements. By focusing on the neglected cases of the colonial and postcolonial world, this volume underscores the worldwide dimension of these movements and their centrality in anti-colonial and anti-imperialist struggles. Drawing on in-depth historical analyses of the ideology, structure, and praxis of anarchism/syndicalism, it also provides fresh perspectives and lessons for those interested in understanding their resurgence today. Contributors are Luigi Biondi, Arif Dirlik, Anthony Gorman, Steven Hirsch, Dongyoun Hwang, Geoffroy de Laforcade, Emmet O'Connor, Kirk Shaffer, Aleksandr Shubin, Edilene Toledo, and Lucien van der Walt. With a foreword by Benedict Anderson.

Abstract

Reflet des débats actuels dans les champs croisés des Études afro-américaines et des Études diasporiques, ces essais critiques et études de cas explorent l’articulation entre les concepts fluctuants de « race » et de diaspora et les négociations des identités au-delà des différences. Ils étudient tour à tour l’évolution de l’(inter)nationalisme noir au sein de la Diaspora, les nouveaux discours sur la post-racialité et la notion de « postblackness », la conscience raciale chez les soldats afro-américains, l’expatriation et la re-diasporisation. Le constat d’un rejet de l’africanité au sein de sociétés telles que les Émirats, le Maroc ou la République dominicaine entre en relation avec les analyses d’œuvres d’art au prisme d’une conscience diasporique et de textes littéraires qui disent l’internationalisme ou subvertissent la notion de « race ». James Baldwin dialogue alors avec Percival Everett. Reflecting current debates in the intersecting fields of African American Studies and African Diaspora, these critical essays and case studies explore the articulation between the fluctuating concepts of ‘race’ and Diaspora and the negotiations of identities across differences. They examine in turn the developments of diasporic black (inter)nationalism, new discourses on ‘postraciality’ and ‘postblackness’, race consciousness among African American soldiers, expatriation and re-diasporization. The acknowledgement of a rejection of Africanness in societies such as the Emirates, Morocco or the Dominican Republic dialogues with examinations of artwork through the lenses of a diasporic consciousness and analyses of literary texts that celebrate internationalism or subvert the notion of ‘race’. James Baldwin thus converses with Percival Everett.

Abstract

The New Transnational Activism, first published in 2005, shows how even the most prosaic activities can assume broader political meanings when they provide ordinary people with the experience of crossing transnational space. This means that we cannot be satisfied with defining transnational activists through the ways they think. The defining feature of transnationalism in this book is relational, and not cognitive. This emphasis on activism's relational structure means that even as they make transnational claims, transnational activists draw on the resources, the networks, and the opportunities in which they are embedded, and only then - if at all - on more distant transnational links. But we can no more sharply draw a line between domestic and international politics in studying transnational activism than we could ignore local politics in studying its national equivalent. Understanding the processes that link the local, the national and the international is the major undertaking of the book.
