In recent decades, local governments across America have increasingly turned specialized functions over to autonomous agencies ranging in scope from subdivision-sized water districts to multi-state transit authorities. This book is the first comprehensive examination of the causes and consequences of special-purpose governments in more than 300 metropolitan areas in the United States. It presents new evidence on the economic, political, and social implications of relying on these special districts while offering important findings about their use and significance.

Mike Mosher’s “Some Aspects of Californian Cyberpunk” vividly reminds us of the influence of West Coast counterculture on cyberpunks, with special emphasis on 1960s theoretical gurus such as Timothy Leary and Marshall McLuhan, who explored the frontiers of inner space as well as the global village. Frenchy Lunning’s “Cyberpunk Redux: Dérives in the Rich Sight of Post-Anthropocentric Visuality” examines how the heritage of Ridley Scott’s techno-noir film

En « autorisant » des États d'user de « tous les moyens nécessaires », comme il l'a fait lors de la deuxième « Guerre du Golfe » (de 1990), le Conseil de sécurité ne renonce pas à ses prérogatives au profit des États. Au contraire, le Conseil se sert des États pour mettre en oeuvre ses propres compétences opérationnelles.Ainsi, ces « autorisations » ne constituent pas une exception à l'interdiction du recours à la force dans les relations internationales. L'article 2, paragraphe 4, de la Charte, constitue une véritable confiscation du pouvoir de contrainte militaire au profit du Conseil de sécurité. En vertu de la Charte, le Conseil dispose d'un monopole de la contrainte militaire. N'ayant jamais été doté des moyens pour « faire la guerre », le Conseil doit se servir des États comme exécutants pour mener à bien des mesures coercitives. Les « autorisations » s'apparentent donc à un mandat de droit public.La crise du Kosovo, les réactions au non-respect par l'Irak de la résolution 687 (1991) et la troisième Guerre du Golfe (de 2002) montrent que le Conseil de sécurité pourrait accorder un tel mandat implicitement. L'analyse de ces affaires montre également qu'on aurait tort de parler de l'émergence d'une nouvelle exception au principe de l'interdiction du recours à la force militaire.En effet, pour se justifier, les États intéressés ont toujours invoqué un prétendu mandat du Conseil.

Full of colorful details and engrossing stories, Pursuing Respect in the Cannibal Isles shows that the aspirations of individual Americans to be recognized as people worthy of others' respect was a driving force in the global extension of United States influence shortly after the nation's founding.Nancy Shoemaker contends that what she calls extraterritorial Americans constituted the vanguard of a vast, early US global expansion. Using as her site of historical investigation nineteenth-century Fiji, the "cannibal isles" of American popular culture, she uncovers stories of Americans looking for opportunities to rise in social status and enhance their sense of self. Prior to British colonization in 1874, extraterritorial Americans had, she argues, as much impact on Fiji as did the British. While the American economy invested in the extraction of sandalwood and sea slugs as resources to sell in China, individuals who went to Fiji had more complicated, personal objectives.Pursuing Respect in the Cannibal Isles considers these motivations through the lives of the three Americans who left the deepest imprint on Fiji: a runaway whaleman who settled in the islands, a sea captain's wife, and a merchant. Shoemaker's book shows how ordinary Americans living or working overseas found unusual venues where they could show themselves worthy of others' respect-others' approval, admiration, or deference.
