La prise de contrôle de l'Amérique par une poignée d'Européens marque le début de la construction d'un Monde qui s'achève au XXe siècle. Il aurait certainement pu en être autrement. Gengis Khan ou Zheng He initièrent des mondialisations bien différentes. Ces logiques géographiques très anciennes n'ont jamais totalement disparu sous l'aventure européenne et ressurgissent aujourd'hui vigoureusement. Et si le Monde nous paraît si évolutif, c'est bien parce que le récit unique de l'Occident n'était pas sans amnésie. Alors que s'affirme la Chine, qu'un islam se rêve comme une autre mondialisation, que le rôle de l'Europe devient plus modeste, il est nécessaire de situer le Monde contemporain dans le temps long de sa genèse. L'empreinte européenne, qui durera longtemps encore, peut étonner aujourd'hui : pourquoi l'Europe fut-elle à l'origine de notre mondialisation ? De quelles dynamiques multimillénaires fut-elle le prolongement ? Pourquoi n'est-ce seulement qu'au début du XXIe siècle que la Chine, l'Inde et bientôt d'autres sociétés s'affirment à l'échelle du Monde ? La troisième édition de cet ouvrage montre, plus encore que les précédentes, que l'histoire globale est devenue incontournable et qu'elle doit tenir compte, dans la longue durée, de la diversité mondiale, de sa géographie et de l'unité de l'humanité. Les questions « Quand » et « Où », particulièrement quand l'histoire est prise à l'échelle du Monde, deviennent un couple indivisible, celui de la géohistoire. --

Inequality is the defining issue of our time. But it is not just a problem for the rich world. It is the global 1% that now owns fully half the world’s wealth—the true measure of our age of inequality. In this historical tour de force, Simon Reid-Henry rewrites the usual story of globalization and development as a story of the management of inequality. Reaching back to the eighteenth century and around the globe, The Political Origins of Inequality foregrounds the political turning points and decisions behind the making of today’s uneven societies. As it weaves together insights from the Victorian city to the Cold War, from US economic policy to Europe’s present migration crisis, a true picture emerges of the structure of inequality itself. The problem of inequality, Reid-Henry argues, is a problem that manifests between places as well as over time. This is one reason why it cannot be resolved by the usual arguments of left versus right, bound as they are to the national scale alone. Most of all, however, it is why the level of inequality that confronts us today is indicative of a more general crisis in political thought. Modern political discourse has no place for public reason or the common good. Equality is yesterday’s dream. Yet the fact that we now accept such a world—a world that values security over freedom, special treatment over universal opportunity, and efficiency over fairness—is ultimately because we have stopped even trying in recent decades to build the political architecture the world actually requires. Our politics has fallen out of step with the world, then, and at the every moment it is needed more than ever. Yet it is within our power to address this. Doing so involves identifying and then meeting our political responsibilities to others, not just offering them the selective charity of the rich. It means looking beyond issues of economics and outside our national borders. But above all it demands of us that we reinvent the language of equality for a modern, global world: and then institute this. The world is not falling apart. Different worlds, we all can see, are colliding together. It is our capacity to act in concert that is falling apart. It is this that needs restoring most of all.

Les migrations internationales et leurs effets constituent aujourd'hui un phénomène d'une réelle ampleur et d'une complexité sans précédent. Cet ouvrage collectif vise à rendre ces mouvements actuels de population plus intelligibles en les replaçant dans le contexte géohistorique de chaque État et sous l'analyse croisée de l'émigration et de l'immigration. Cette approche originale, inscrite dans le temps long des Grandes Découvertes aux temps présents, montre l'universalité mais aussi la très grande diversité de ces phénomènes. Elle rend possible les comparaisons de pays à pays, tant à l'intérieur des grandes régions du monde qu'entre celles-ci. Rédigé par une équipe internationale et multidisciplinaire de 150 auteurs (géographes, historiens, démographes, sociologues, anthropologues, politologues), cet ouvrage de référence fortement documenté, accessible à tous publics, vient éclairer d'un jour nouveau un sujet d'actualité permanent.
