Ce livre propose d'analyser l'évolution des marchés de luxe entre le XVIe et le XIXe siècle. Différents espaces sont envisagés - Asie, Amériques, Afrique et Europe - afin d'en dégager les spécificités et les complémentarités. L'essor du négoce international des produits de luxe, non seulement dans les échanges Europe-Asie et Europe-Amérique mais encore Asie-Amérique, contribue à recomposer la géographie des lieux de production et à fixer des aires nouvelles de consommation. En focalisant l'attention sur ces échanges, les auteurs abordent les mécanismes économiques, sociaux et culturels qui sous-tendent la production et la consommation de ces marchandises destinées à une clientèle étroite. Dans ce cadre, le luxe s'écrit au pluriel parce que c'est un concept relatif, fonction du pouvoir d'achat et du niveau socioculturel. L'origine lointaine des produits excite la convoitise, suscite l'intérêt pour ce qui est "autre". L'élargissement des marchés révèle un engouement sélectif poru ce qui est rare et de provenance exotique. Dans ces jeux du désir, le luxe des uns n'est pas nécessairement celui des autres et cet ouvrage cherche à saisir comment la hiérarchie des valeurs des marchandises négociées se crée et se transforme. Issu du colloque "Luxes et internationalisation" qui s'est tenu à l'Institut d'histoire de l'Université de Neuchâtel en collaboration avec le comité franco-italien de l'Association française des historiens économistes, ce livre réunit les contributions des plus grands spécialistes du luxe.

Canada's role as world power and its sense of itself in the global landscape has been largely shaped and defined over the past 100 years by the changing policies and personalities in the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT). This engaging and provocative book brings together fifteen of the country's leading historians and political scientists to discuss a century of Canada's national interests and DFAIT's role in defining and pursuing them. Accomplished and influential analysts such as Jack Granatstein, Norman Hillmer, and Nelson Michaud, are joined by rising stars like Whitney Lackenbauer, Adam Chapnick, and Tammy Nemeth in commenting on the history and future implications of Canada's foreign policy. In the National Interest gives fresh insight into the Canada First concept in the 1920s, the North American security issues in the 1930s, Canada's vision for the United Nations, early security warnings in the Arctic, the rise of the international francophone community, conflicting continental visions over energy, and Canada/U.S. policy discussions. The impact of politicians and senior bureaucrats such as O.D. Skelton, Lester B. Pearson, Marcel Cadieux, Jules Leger, Pierre Trudeau and Brian Mulroney are set against issues such as national defence, popular opinion, human rights, and energy production. In the National Interest also provides a platform for discussion about Canada's future role on the international stage. With its unique combination of administrative and policy history, In the National Interest is in a field of its own. With Contributions By: Greg Donaghy, Michael K. Carroll, Norman Hillmer, Galen Roger Perras, Heather Metcalfe, J.L. Grantstein, Adam Chapnick, P. Witney Lackenbauer, Peter Kikkert, Robin S. Gerndron, Michael Hart, Tammy Nemith, Nelson Michaud, Stephen J. Randall, and Elizabeth Riddell-Dixon.
