Pourquoi le pays des Droits de l'homme a-t-il pu donner a son extreme droite la moindre chance d'acceder aux plus hautes responsabilites de l'Etat ? Pourquoi ce meme pays, alors que nulle part ailleurs le marxisme ne trouve plus le moindre echo, peut-il accorder tant de credit a son extreme gauche trotskiste ? Ces questions en soulevent une autre, beaucoup plus radicale : Comment vote-t-on ? Comment chacun de nous decide-t-il quel homme ou quel parti choisir ? Quels evenements petits ou grands nous motivent-ils ? A quel reseau d'influence est-on rattache ?A partir d'une cartographie electorale, economique et sociale des 36 565 communes de France, Herve Le Bras apporte une interpretation profondement originale de la nouvelle donne politique francaise. Non, nous ne votons pas en fonction de notre sexe, ni de notre appartenance sociale, de nos diplomes, de notre etat civil ou de notre age ! Alors, comment vote-t-on ? La reponse est dans les cartes. Herve Le Bras est directeur d'etudes a l'Ecole des hautes etudes en sciences sociales (Paris) et Fellow du Churchill College (Cambridge). Il a notamment publie Les Trois France et Essais de geometrie sociale aux Editions Odile Jacob.

The Supreme Court's reapportionment decisions, beginning with Baker v. Carr in 1962, had far more than jurisprudential consequences. They sparked a massive wave of extraordinary redistricting in the mid-1960s. Both state legislative and congressional districts were redrawn more comprehensively - by far - than at any previous time in America's history. Moreover, they changed what would happen at law should a state government fail to enact a new districting plan when one was legally required. This book provides a detailed analysis of how judicial partisanship affected redistricting outcomes in the 1960s, arguing that the reapportionment revolution led indirectly to three fundamental changes in the nature of congressional elections: the abrupt eradication of a 6% pro-Republican bias in the translation of congressional votes into seats outside the south; the abrupt increase in the apparent advantage of incumbents; and the abrupt alteration of the two parties' success in congressional recruitment and elections.
