Cet ouvrage collectif se propose d'interroger le processus de nationalisation des sociétés européennes dans le contexte de la guerre : est-ce le succès de cette nationalisation qui explique le succès de la mobilisation en 1914 ? Est-ce que la maximisation tant de fois décrites de l'État au cours de la guerre accélère cette nationalisation ? De fait, cette réflexion s'inscrit dans une socio-histoire de l'État qui, à la suite de Gérard Noiriel, s'intéresse davantage aux processus et aux acteurs qu'aux structures et aux règlements. C'est pourquoi, l'ouvrage se déploie en deux temps qui correspondent à deux cercles concentriques au sein desquels gravitent des acteurs différenciés. Le regard est d'abord porté au plus près du noyau dur de l'action étatique en interrogeant, d'une part, les modes de participation au conflit et d'autre part, le travail d'administration des populations civiles et militaires.

The dramatic involvement of the Tsarist Empire in the First World War marks a turning point in the history of Russia and its surrounding areas. The dynamics triggered by the challenge of total mobilization gave rise to political, social, economic and cultural transformations destined to have a profound and prolonged impact on Europe and the whole world during the 20-th century. The studies and the researches collected in this volume explore key themes of the crisis that hit the imperial space: the patriotic culture and the representation of the enemy in war propaganda; the interweaving of war effort and national issues in the imperial peripheries; the intensified competition between the multiethnic empires in the context of total war; the breakthrough achieved by nationalisms during the 1917 revolutions. Special attention is also devoted to the analysis of the international historiographical trends that have emerged in the last quarter of a century and which have redefined the interpretation of the period 1914-1921 / 22.

During the First World War, the parliaments of the states involved in the conflict were, in most cases, forced to drastically limit their activity and were often precluded the possibility of fully exercising their prerogatives. More generally the spaces of freedom granted to the citizens, of which the parliamentary institution was the brightest symbol, shrank dramatically. At the same time, the power of military commands expanded, not only in trenches and on battlefields, but also in many areas of civilian life. However, in the final years of the war, the Parliaments succeeded not only in gradually regaining control, but also in pushing for an extension of their functions, initiating a process that in many states coincided with the transition from a liberal order to a full democratic order. The years of the "long" postwar period were however dense with contradictions. Legislative and executive law often grew together, while in some cases the imperative logic imposed for a long time in wartime re-emerged and consolidated. This volume, which examines several national cases, illustrates some of the ambivalent features of this dramatic phase of European history.
