Abstract

Dans ce présent travail, nous avons cherché à saisir la manière dont la presse belge a perçu l’action des partis d’opposition en France durant la période allant des débuts de la monarchie de Juillet aux lois françaises sur la presse de septembre 1835. Au cours de nos recherches, nous avons pu constater que l’action des mouvements contestataires en France a eu une incidence certaine sur l’opinion belge et sur les mesures prises par le gouvernement du pays. Les événements français, dans cette période directement postérieure à la fondation du Royaume de Belgique, ont vraiment servi à alimenter le discours à la fois des unionistes, mais également des représentants des mouvements d’opposition. Les journaux belges ont constamment les yeux rivés sur la France. Une des principales conclusions de cette étude est la présence très récurrente dans le monde de la presse belge de deux grandes tendances qui s’opposent : les journaux unionistes et les journaux d’opposition. Toutefois, notre travail a permis de mettre en lumière que l’affirmation selon laquelle la presse unioniste est homogène doit être nuancée.

Abstract

La cour de Versailles n'est pas la prison dorée de la noblesse, elle est le cœur du système politique français de l'Ancien Régime. Depuis la fin de la Fronde, la puissance du monarque repose sur un compromis tacite : ce dernier garantit à une partie de l'ancienne noblesse son implantation dynastique dans les grandes charges de la cour. C'est ainsi que moins d'une centaine de familles, dans leur très grande majorité issues de la noblesse d'épée, dominent le monde curial pendant plus d'un siècle. Proches du trône, ces grands courtisans, après avoir été les alliés nécessaires des ministres, les ont bientôt supplantés. Ce n'est pas le fruit des événements, mais celui de stratégies complexes, élaborées autour du souverain et en fonction de sa personnalité, soutenues par l'organisation de factions orientées vers la conservation à tout prix du pouvoir. Pour saisir une telle évolution, cette étude s'appuie donc non seulement sur la reconstitution des événements, mais sur un important répertoire prosopographique établi à partir d'un corpus de 4 798 individus (titulaires de charges de cour, ministres, grands militaires, gouverneurs de province, ambassadeurs, cardinaux, princes, ducs et membres de l'ordre du Saint-Esprit). Ce répertoire est mis à disposition en version numérique sur les sites du Centre de recherche du château de Versailles et des Presses universitaires de Rennes. -- Quatrième de couverture

Abstract

Based on extensive field research in Turkey, Istanbul, City of the Fearless explores social movements and the broader practices of civil society in Istanbul in the critical years before and after the 1980 military coup, the defining event in the neoliberal reengineering of the city. Bringing together developments in anthropology, urban studies, cultural geography, and social theory, Christopher Houston offers new insights into the meaning and study of urban violence, military rule, activism and spatial tactics, relations between political factions and ideologies, and political memory and commemoration. This book is both a social history and an anthropological study, investigating how activist practices and the coup not only contributed to the globalization of Istanbul beginning in the 1980s but also exerted their force and influence into the future.

Abstract

In 1938, at an age when most men are long retired, Douglas Hyde (1860-1949) was elected first president of modern Ireland. The unanimous choice of delegates from all political factions, he was no stranger to public life or to fame. Until now, however, there has been no full-scale biography of this important historical and literary figure. Known as a tireless nationalist, Hyde attracted attention on both sides of the Atlantic from a very early age. He was hailed by Yeats as a source of the Irish Literary Renaissance; earned international recognition for his contributions to the theory and methodology of folklore; joined Lady Gregory, W. B. Yeats, George Moore, and Edward Martyn in shaping an Irish theater; and as president of the Gaelic League worked for twenty-two years on behalf of Irish Ireland. Yet in spite of these and other accomplishments Hyde remained an enigmatic figure throughout his life. Why did he become an Irish nationalist? Why were his two terms as Irish Free State senator so curiously passive? Why, when he had threatened it earlier, did he oppose the use of physical force in 1916? How did he nevertheless retain the support of his countrymen and the trust and friendship of such a man as Eamon de Valera? Douglas Hyde: A Maker of Modern Ireland dispels for the first time the myths and misinformation that have obscured the private life of this extraordinary scholar and statesman.

Abstract

A field experiment in rural Liberia is used to study democratic participation in fragile states. Fragile states are marked by political fragmentation, local patronage systems, and voter vulnerability. To understand the effects of such conditions on democratic expression through elections, the experiment introduced new forms of interaction between rural citizens and third-party actors: (i) civic education and town hall workshops directed by non-governmental organizations in communities over nine months and (ii) security committees that brought rural community representatives into monthly exchange with United Nations peacekeepers. Civic education workshops increased enthusiasm for electoral participation, produced a coordinated shift from parochial to national candidates, and increased willingness to report on manipulation. A program combining the two interactions had similar effects. The security committees had negligible effects. Barriers to political information and voter coordination appear to be important but resolvable problems for elections in fragile states.
