"The euro crisis has led to an unprecedented Europeanization and politicization of public spheres across the continent. In this volume, leading scholars make two claims. First, they suggest that transnational cross-border communication in Europe has been encouraged through the gradual Europeanization of national as well as issue-specific public spheres. Second, the politicization of European affairs - at the European Union (EU) level and in the domestic politics of member states - is inevitable and here to stay. Europeanized public spheres, whether elite media, mass media, or social media such as the internet, provide the arenas in which the politicization of European and EU issues takes place. European Public Spheres explores the history of these developments, the nature of politicization in the public spheres as well as its likely consequences, and the normative implications for European public life"--

S’engager fait toujours sens, peut-être même plus encore qu’avant, dans notre « société d’individus ». Cet essai solidement étayé le montre, apportant un utile démenti aux discours convenus de dénonciation de la « montée des égoïsmes » et aux exhortations rhétoriques au « sursaut de citoyenneté ». Les individus sont en effet plus nombreux, notamment parmi les jeunes et surtout les femmes, à s’associer, à se mobiliser, à intervenir dans l’espace public. Mais ils le font selon de nouvelles modalités, qui s’écartent notablement des schémas du militantisme d’antan. Plus autonomes par rapport à leurs milieux d’appartenance, plus soucieux de faire entendre leur parole propre, plus réflexifs, délivrés de toute révérence obligée envers les puissants et les experts, ces nouveaux militants déroutent parfois... Le fonctionnement de la vie associative, les pratiques protestataires et la citoyenneté s’en trouvent modifiés. Appuyé sur des travaux d’enquête et une analyse très fine des engagements politiques et associatifs, cet ouvrage saisit un rapport au politique complexe et diffus, moins focalisé sur les élections et le mythe du grand soir.

The New York Times bestselling author of The Origins of Political Order offers a provocative examination of modern identity politics: its origins, its effects, and what it means for domestic and international affairs of state. In 2014, Francis Fukuyama wrote that American institutions were in decay, as the state was progressively captured by powerful interest groups. Two years later, his predictions were borne out by the rise to power of a series of political outsiders whose economic nationalism and authoritarian tendencies threatened to destabilize the entire international order. These populist nationalists seek direct charismatic connection to "the people," who are usually defined in narrow identity terms that offer an irresistible call to an in-group and exclude large parts of the population as a whole. Demand for recognition of one's identity is a master concept that unifies much of what is going on in world politics today. The universal recognition on which liberal democracy is based has been increasingly challenged by narrower forms of recognition based on nation, religion, sect, race, ethnicity, or gender, which have resulted in anti-immigrant populism, the upsurge of politicized Islam, the fractious "identity liberalism" of college campuses, and the emergence of white nationalism. Populist nationalism, said to be rooted in economic motivation, actually springs from the demand for recognition and therefore cannot simply be satisfied by economic means. The demand for identity cannot be transcended; we must begin to shape identity in a way that supports rather than undermines democracy. Identity is an urgent and necessary book--a sharp warning that unless we forge a universal understanding of human dignity, we will doom ourselves to continuing conflict.

Other People's Struggles is the first attempt in over forty years to explain the place of "conscience constituents" in social movements. Conscience constituents are people who participate in a movement, but do not stand to benefit if it succeeds. Why do such people participate, when they do not stand to benefit ? Why are they sometimes present and sometimes absent in social movements ? Why and when is their participation welcome to those who do stand to benefit, and why and when is it not ?The work proposes an original theory to answer these questions, crossing disciplinary boundaries to draw on the findings of social psychology, philosophy and political theory, in search of explanations of why people act altruistically and what it means to others when they do so. The theory is illustrated by examples from British history, including the anti-slavery movement, the women's suffrage and liberation movements, labor and socialist movements, anti-colonial movements, anti-poverty movements and movements for global justice.Other People's Struggles also contributes to new debates concerning the rights and wrongs of speaking for others. Debates concerning the limits of solidarity—who can be an ally and on what terms — have become topical in contemporary politics, especially in identity politics and in the newest social movements. The work provides a theoretical and empirical account of how these questions have been addressed in the past and how they might be framed today
