In the past, the chief concern used to be whether a foreign dictator would nationalize the country's oil industry. Today, political risk stems from a widening array of agents, from Twitter users and terrorists to hackers and insurgents. This means that in today's globalized world there are no 'safe' bets. Political risk affects companies and organisations of all sizes, operating everywhere from London to Lahore, even if they don't know it. This book investigates and analyses this shifting landscape, suggests what businesses can do to navigate it, and explains how all of us can better understand these rapidly changing geopolitical dynamics.

La société managériale est-elle le nouvel horizon des démocraties ? Quels sont les ressorts profonds du management, et par conséquent de l'entreprise capitaliste ? Comment les méthodes de gestion sont-elles produites ? Comment agissent-elles ? L'entreprise est devenue un modèle d'efficacité pour l'ensemble de la société, et ce jusqu'au sommet de l'État, où un président-manager qui considère sa fonction comme un job gère la France comme une entreprise, entre audits et indicateurs chiffrés. Gestion prévisionnelle des emplois et des compétences, techniques de coaching (et donc d'«amélioration» des conduites), indicateurs, normes comptables et normes qualité, kit financier de choix d investissement... Le management et ses dispositifs matériels constituent l'élément dur du capitalisme néolibéral. Il tire sa force d'une armada de techniques ou méthodes de gestion extrêmement bien organisée autour d une avant-garde visible (la comptabilité en particulier) mais aussi de troupes invisibles chargées d'opérations plus souterraines, voire secrètes. C'est cet ensemble de méthodes qu'il faut mettre à jour si l'on veut comprendre le management et débattre de ses enjeux. Pour produire une critique efficace de la managérialisation de la société et dépasser le stade des exhortations, il faut dévoiler les rouages essentiels de la mécanique managériale, découvrir l'intimité du management, montrer les implications de l'usage intensif des méthodes de management. L'objet de cet ouvrage est d'ouvrir la boîte de Pandore du management, de montrer comment sont produites et comment agissent ces méthodes de gestion. Nanotechnologies de l'économique et du social, elles sont à l'origine de milliards de microdécisions, elles influent sur les performances économiques et sociales des nations, et sur la vie professionnelle de millions de salariés. Présentées comme «neutres» et purement techniques, elles soutiennent le fonctionnement du management de l'entreprise et de la société, et ambitionnent de modeler des individus conformes aux visées de celles-ci. Il ne s'agit donc pas ici de se contenter de dénoncer une fois de plus le management, mais bien d'entreprendre le démontage de ses rouages invisibles pour débattre de leurs effets. Cette démarche est indispensable pour donner aux salariés, à leurs représentants, et plus largement aux citoyens les termes d'un débat, jusque-là confisqué, sur les effets considérables des techniques de management sur l'économie, la société et le politique.

"The Constitution of Risk is the first book to combine constitutional theory with the theory of risk regulation. The book argues that constitutional rulemaking is best understood as a means of managing political risks. Constitutional law structures and regulates the risks that arise in and from political life, such as an executive coup or military putsch, political abuse of ideological or ethnic minorities, or corrupt self-dealing by officials. The book claims that the best way to manage political risks is an approach it calls "optimizing constitutionalism" - in contrast to the worst-case thinking that underpins "precautionary constitutionalism," a mainstay of liberal constitutional theory. Drawing on a broad range of disciplines such as decision theory, game theory, welfare economics, political science, and psychology, this book advocates constitutional rulemaking undertaken in a spirit of welfare maximization, and offers a corrective to the pervasive and frequently irrational attitude of distrust of official power that is so prominent in American constitutional history and discourse"--

How can societies still grappling over the common values and shared vision of their state draft a democratic constitution? This is the central puzzle of Making Constitutions in Deeply Divided Societies. While most theories discuss constitution-making in the context of a moment of revolutionary change, Hanna Lerner argues that an incrementalist approach to constitution-making can enable societies riven by deep internal disagreements to either enact a written constitution or function with an unwritten one. She illustrates the process of constitution-writing in three deeply divided societies - Israel, India and Ireland - and explores the various incrementalist strategies deployed by their drafters. These include the avoidance of clear decisions, the use of ambivalent legal language and the inclusion of contrasting provisions in the constitution. Such techniques allow the deferral of controversial choices regarding the foundational aspects of the polity to future political institutions, thus enabling the constitution to reflect a divided identity.

Le moment historique de la pandémie de coronavirus a indéniablement placé la gestion publique des crises au centre des agendas politiques mondiaux. Si cette question n'est pas nouvelle, la mutation des menaces intentionnelles comme le terrorisme, et l'avènement de nouveaux risques (technologiques ou sanitaires) viennent cependant renouveler leur analyse. Cet ouvrage présente, de manière syncrétique, les grands auteurs, modèles analytiques et approches permettant d'appréhender ces phénomènes dans nos sociétés contemporaines. Quels sont les usages politiques du risque dans le cadre de la compétition politique, de la gestion publique ? Quelles conséquences les menaces et les risques ont-ils sur les comportements électoraux ? Quel est le rôle des acteurs de la société civile dans la construction des risques (le cadre des mobilisations collectives) ?

Governance failure and corruption are increasingly identified as key causes of tropical deforestation. In Nigeria's Edo State, once the showcase of scientific forestry in West Africa, large-scale forest conversion and the virtual depletion of timber stocks are invariably attributed to recent failures in forest management, and are seen as yet another instance of how "things fall apart" in Nigeria. Through an in-depth historical and ethnographic study of forestry in Edo State, this book challenges this routine linking of political and ecological crisis narratives. It shows that the roots of m
