La cour de Versailles n'est pas la prison dorée de la noblesse, elle est le cœur du système politique français de l'Ancien Régime. Depuis la fin de la Fronde, la puissance du monarque repose sur un compromis tacite : ce dernier garantit à une partie de l'ancienne noblesse son implantation dynastique dans les grandes charges de la cour. C'est ainsi que moins d'une centaine de familles, dans leur très grande majorité issues de la noblesse d'épée, dominent le monde curial pendant plus d'un siècle. Proches du trône, ces grands courtisans, après avoir été les alliés nécessaires des ministres, les ont bientôt supplantés. Ce n'est pas le fruit des événements, mais celui de stratégies complexes, élaborées autour du souverain et en fonction de sa personnalité, soutenues par l'organisation de factions orientées vers la conservation à tout prix du pouvoir. Pour saisir une telle évolution, cette étude s'appuie donc non seulement sur la reconstitution des événements, mais sur un important répertoire prosopographique établi à partir d'un corpus de 4 798 individus (titulaires de charges de cour, ministres, grands militaires, gouverneurs de province, ambassadeurs, cardinaux, princes, ducs et membres de l'ordre du Saint-Esprit). Ce répertoire est mis à disposition en version numérique sur les sites du Centre de recherche du château de Versailles et des Presses universitaires de Rennes. -- Quatrième de couverture

In recent years serious attempts have been made to systematize and develop the moral and political themes of great philosophers of the past. Kant, Locke, Marx, and the classical utilitarians all have their current defenders and arc taken seriously as expositors of sound moral and political views. It is the aim of this book to introduce Hobbes into this select group by presenting a plausible moral and political theory inspired by Leviathan. Using the techniques of analytic philosophy and elementary game theory, the author develops a Hobbesian argument that justifies the liberal State and reconciles the rights and interests of rational individuals with their obligations.Hobbes's case against anarchy, based on his notorious claim that life outside the political State would be a "war of all against all," is analyzed in detail, while his endorsement of the absolutist State is traced to certain false hypotheses about political sociology. With these eliminated, Hobbes's principles support a liberal redistributive (or "satisfactory") State and a limited right of revolution. Turning to normative issues, the book explains Hobbes's account of morality based on enlightened self-interest and shows how the Hobbesian version of social contract theory justifies the political obligations of citizens of satisfactory States.

Zimbabwe has cast a powerful regional and international shadow since it became independent in 1980 and more recently, through the crises of the first decade of the twenty-first century. The 2000's were a decade of combined political, economic and social crises in Zimbabwe following what had been a relatively successful twenty years of independence since 1980. The scale, depth and severity of the crises evolving since 2000 have been as dramatic as they have been unexpected. While there has been substantial coverage of the internal consequences of Zimbabweís crises less attention has been paid to
