L'Amérique est-elle à un tournant de son histoire ? A cette question, depuis le 11 septembre 2001, les Américains répondent oui sans hésiter. Mais si tel est bien le cas, comment les Etats-Unis changent-ils ? Dix essais, écrits par des experts de tout premier ordre, pour la plupart américains et de sensibilités différentes, analysent en profondeur cette évolution, sur dix thèmes concrets, concernant aussi bien l'équilibre des pouvoirs ou les modes de régulation que la place des Etats-Unis dans le monde, qui divisent les élites dirigeantes américaines. Car l'Amérique est avant tout un lieu de pluralisme ! Pour mieux saisir la complexité et la diversité des Etats-Unis, trop souvent sous-estimées en Europe.

Dynamics of American Political Parties examines the process of gradual change that inexorably shapes and reshapes American politics. Parties and the politicians that comprise them seek control of government in order to implement their visions of proper public policy. To gain control parties need to win elections, and winning elections requires assembling an electoral coalition that is larger than that crafted by the opposition. Uncertainty rules and intra-party conflict rages as different factions and groups within the parties debate the proper course(s) of action and battle it out for control of the party. Parties can never be sure how their strategic maneuvers will play out, and, even when it appears that a certain strategy has been successful, party leaders are unclear about how long apparent success will last. Change unfolds slowly, in fits and starts.

L'Amérique a choisi de reconduire l'administration Bush et a confirmé qu'elle était désormais, majoritairement, dans le camp républicain. Le monde - et l'Europe - doivent s'habituer à vivre avec une autre Amérique. Car nous savons maintenant qu'il n'y aura pas de "parenthèse Bush", mais bien une "ère Bush". Or le président réélu n'a pas l'intention de faire une pause ou de réorienter sa politique. D'où l'urgence de comprendre ce que les Américains ont dit lors des élections de novembre 2004, pourquoi ils l'ont dit et surtout pour quoi faire. Bruno Tertrais nous convie ici à comprendre l'Amérique telle qu'elle est, et non telle que nous souhaiterions la voir. L'administration et le Congrès issus des dernières élections ont un vrai projet révolutionnaire : à l'intérieur, mettre à bas les acquis culturels et sociaux des années 1960 et faire de l'Amérique une "société de propriétaires"; à l'extérieur, gagner la "guerre contre la terreur" et transformer durablement le monde, à commencer par le Moyen-Orient. En analysant en finesse l'évolution de la société américaine, en révélant les nouvelles combinaisons électorales, en nous présentant les hommes et les femmes clefs de la prochaine mandature, Bruno Tentais dissèque les grands chantiers du second mandat de M. Bush. Il encourage l'Europe à accepter l'Amérique en tant que telle, et démontre pourquoi il est dans son intérêt de coopérer avec les Etats-Unis - sans pour autant renoncer à ce qu'elle est.
