Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le XIXe siecle a ete en France le siecle de l'avenement republicain, en meme temps que celui de l'affirmation d'une democratie liberale et laique. A la fin du siecle, au moment ou la crise nee de l'affaire Dreyfus permet la consolidation de la Republique, les Republicains ont pleinement pris en compte l'heritage de la Revolution francaise qui, des la Declaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen du 26 aout 1789, a pose les bases du fonctionnement de la democratie. Pourtant au cours des decennies qui suivirent, la France a fait l'experience de trois types de regimes differents, monarchie constitutionnelle, cesarisme democratique, republique. Ce dernier modele finit par s'imposer au terme d'un processus qui est aussi le fruit d'un compromis, notamment sur le terrain institutionnel. Il s'appuie sur deux piliers principaux: le suffrage universel masculin et l'affirmation des libertes rendant possible l'exercice de vie politique au sein d'une democratie. Democratie qui exclut encore les femmes, mais aussi les populations nouvellement integrees a l'Empire colonial, omissions qui posent precisement les limites du modele republicain francais.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les débats actuels sur la laïcité et sur le vote des étrangers, les remises en cause de l'appartenance à la Nation française, les revendications partisanes autour du processus d'intégration européenne réactualisent les questionnements concernant citoyenneté, république et démocratie. A cet égard, l'histoire de la période 1789 à 1899 apporte des éclairages incontournables. Ainsi les débats ouverts autour des rapports du roi et de la Nation, des héritages des Montagnards ou de Napoléon, du Second Empire et de son évolution, du rôle du Président de la République et du Parlement, mais aussi du boulangisme et de l'affaire Dreyfus ont ouvert la voie à un rapprochement de la république et de la démocratie ainsi qu'à l'affirmation d'un nouveau type de citoyen. Longtemps, les relations entre citoyenneté, république et démocratie ont été abordées sous l'angle du mouvement des idées et sous celui des pratiques constitutionnelles ou des libertés publiques. Or les idées et les cadres juridiques n'ont pu jouer un rôle qu'en se confrontant aux pratiques de manière continuelle. C'est ce que montrent les auteurs associés au sein de cet ouvrage : par-delà la succession des régimes (la Révolution française, le Premier Empire, la monarchie constitutionnelle, le Second Empire, la République conservatrice, puis opportuniste) se dégagent ainsi les tendances de fond qui ont construit la République française d'aujourd'hui, fondée sur la démocratie, l'esprit citoyen et le respect de l'Etat.

Book excerpt: Le présent ouvrage s'interroge sur les modalités de l'installation de la République, de la Révolution française à l'Affaire Dreyfus. Il montre les voies étroites et difficiles, parfois violentes, qu'ont empruntées citoyenneté et démocratie d'une révolution et d'une restauration à l'autre, selon une succession de régimes qui ont eu pour constante un souci d'ordre social et familial différemment décliné. Il a favorisé un suffrage masculin, censitaire ou universel, des notables attachés à la propriété ou emblématiques des nouvelles élites industrielles et judiciaires. Il a induit la méfiance vis-à-vis d'un peuple renvoyé à une éternelle enfance, jugé passionné, dangereux et indomptable : un monde rural amputé par l'exode, un monde ouvrier porté par l'industrialisation. Vers ces populations ont été particulièrement tournés les efforts d'acculturation, supportés par l'école, l'armée, les fêtes, toute une imagerie et un roman national traduits dans des symboles, une statuaire, des hymnes...
Download or read book De la d mocratie en France written by Dominique Schnapper and published by Odile Jacob. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « Démocratie providentielle », « démocratie extrême », les notions forgées par Dominique Schnapper, une des grandes voix de la pensée politique française, sont passées dans le langage courant. Elle revient dans ce livre sur les thèmes qui sont aujourd’hui au cœur du débat public : le malaise des populations immigrées, le chômage, la place de l’islam, le rapport à la République et à la nation. Comment penser la démocratie en France ? Comment fonder des liens entre les individus et les groupes, afin qu’un avenir commun puisse être envisagé ? Loin des idéologues de l’identité comme des défenseurs du multiculturalisme, Dominique Schnapper analyse patiemment ce qui permet la relation à l’autre et donne du sens à la citoyenneté. Racisme, laïcité, remise en cause des institutions, intégration, judaïsme, individualisme et communauté, droits des minorités, aucune question n’est éludée et toutes sont abordées avec la même rigueur scientifique et morale. Dominique Schnapper, fille de Raymond Aron, est directrice d’étude à l'EHESS, membre honoraire du Conseil constitutionnel, auteur de nombreux ouvrages sur la citoyenneté et la démocratie, dont notamment Diasporas et nations (avec Chantal Bordes-Benayoun) et Travailler et aimer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " C'est bien plus qu'un traité d'instruction civique que propose Daniel Antony dans cette nouvelle édition. Disons-le sans malice, c'est d'abord cela, et dans le meilleur sens du terme. Chacun y trouvera une information précise, sérieuse, sur les institutions de l'Etat, sur l'organisation territoriale de la France, sur les grandes valeurs de la République. Mais l'auteur réconcilie l'art de la présentation didactique, claire et simple, et celui de la mise en perspective et du questionnement. La description factuelle, historique ou juridique nourrit sur chaque thème, restitué dans sa profondeur historique et dans le mouvement des idées, une réflexion stimulante. Réflexion qui met en jeu les formes contemporaines de la démocratie et les défis auxquels la confrontent des évolutions aussi puissantes que la mondialisation ou les exigences du développement durable. Malgré le nombre des sujets traités, malgré la diversité des approches, l'ouvrage ne tombe jamais dans l'écueil de la superficialité, sans pour autant se perdre dans l'érudition. Le propos est ambitieux et modeste à la fois. Ambitieux par l'ampleur et la cohérence du projet, qui est au fond un appel à l'intelligence du lecteur; modeste dans sa mise en oeuvre, l'auteur n'imposant pas ses vues, ce qui n'empêche pas le ton d'être parfois engagé.

Download or read book Critical Republicanism written by Cécile Laborde and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-10-09 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive analysis of the philosophical issues raised by the hijab controversy in France, this book also conducts a dialogue between contemporary Anglo-American and French political theory and defends a progressive republican solution to so-called multicultural conflicts in contemporary societies. It critically assesses the official republican philosophy of laïcité which purported to justify the 2004 ban on religious signs in schools. Laïcité is shown to encompass a comprehensive theory of republican citizenship, centered on three ideals: equality (secular neutrality of the public sphere), liberty (individual autonomy and emancipation) and fraternity (civic loyalty to the community of citizens). Challenging official interpretations of laïcité, the book then puts forward a critical republicanism which does not support the hijab ban, yet upholds a revised interpretation of three central republican commitments: secularism, non-domination and civic solidarity. Thus, it articulates a version of secularism which squarely addresses the problem of status quo bias - the fact that Western societies are historically not neutral towards all religions. It also defends a vision of female emancipation which rejects the coercive paternalism inherent in the regulation of religious dress, yet does not leave individuals unaided in the face of religious and secular, patriarchal and ethnocentric domination. Finally, the book outlines a theory of immigrant integration which places the burden of civic integration on basic socio-political institutions, rather than on citizens themselves. Critical republicanism proposes an entirely new approach to the management of religious and cultural pluralism, centred on the pursuit of the progressive ideal of non-domination in existing, non-ideal societies. Oxford Political Theory presents the best new work in contemporary political theory. It is intended to be broad in scope, including original contributions to political philosophy, and also work in applied political theory. The series will contain works of outstanding quality with no restriction as to approach or subject matter. Series Editors: Will Kymlicka, David Miller, and Alan Ryan.

Download or read book The French Republic written by Edward G. Berenson and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-15 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this invaluable reference work, the world’s foremost authorities on France’s political, social, cultural, and intellectual history explore the history and meaning of the French Republic and the challenges it has faced. Founded in 1792, the French Republic has been defined and redefined by a succession of regimes and institutions, a multiplicity of symbols, and a plurality of meanings, ideas, and values. Although constantly in flux, the Republic has nonetheless produced a set of core ideals and practices fundamental to modern France's political culture and democratic life. Based on the influential Dictionnaire critique de la république, published in France in 2002, The French Republic provides an encyclopedic survey of French republicanism since the Enlightenment. Divided into three sections—Time and History, Principles and Values, and Dilemmas and Debates—The French Republic begins by examining each of France’s five Republics and its two authoritarian interludes, the Second Empire and Vichy. It then offers thematic essays on such topics as Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity; laicity; citizenship; the press; immigration; decolonization; anti-Semitism; gender; the family; cultural policy; and the Muslim headscarf debates. Each essay includes a brief guide to further reading. This volume features updated translations of some of the most important essays from the French edition, as well as twenty-two newly commissioned English-language essays, for a total of forty entries. Taken together, they provide a state-of-the art appraisal of French republicanism and its role in shaping contemporary France’s public and private life.
Download or read book Struggles for Belonging written by Dieter Gosewinkel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-04 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citizenship was the most important mark of political belonging in Europe in the twentieth century, while estate, religion, party, class, and nation lost political significance in the century of extremes. This is shown by examining the legal institution of citizenship, with its deciding influence on the limits of a political community, on inclusion and exclusion. Citizenship determined a person's protection, equality, and freedom and thus his or her chances in life and very survival. This book recounts the history of citizenship in Europe as the history of European statehood in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. It does so from three vantage points: as the development of a legal institution crucial to European constitutionalism; as a measure of an individual's opportunities for self-fulfilment ranging from freedom to totalitarian subjugation; and as a succession of alternating, often sharply divergent political regimes, considered from the perspective of their inclusivity and exclusivity, and its justification. The European history of citizenship is discussed in this book on the basis of six selected countries: Great Britain, France, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Russia. For the first time, a joint history of citizenship in Western and Eastern Europe is told here, from the heyday of the nation state to our present day, which is marked by the crises of the European Union. It is the history of a central legal institution that significantly represents and at the same time determines struggles over migration, integration, and belonging. One of the central concerns of this book is what lessons can be learned when it comes to the future chances of European citizenship.

Download or read book Human Rights Struggles in Twentieth century France written by Max Likin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-07 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an introduction to human rights controversies in twentieth-century France, from the Dreyfus Affair at the beginning of the century, to the arguments over women and immigrants’ rights at its end. Using the Ligue des Droits de L’Homme (LDH) - or the League of the Rights of Man - as a narrative thread for this chronological study, the book tracks the gradual expansion of human rights in France in the wake of the two world wars, the Algerian quagmire and decolonisation more generally. Examining the capital role of the LDH whilst also highlighting the role of individuals and key activists, the book helps us to contextualise the quandaries faced by unseen minorities, particularly colonial subjects and women. The analysis also demonstrates the influence of French human rights activism on key international documents of human rights law, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The LDH occupies a central place in French justice debates and is therefore an ideal template to analyse the rising influence of humanitarianism and crimes against humanity in French causes célèbres from the 1970s onwards. However, the author goes further to look beyond the LDH and even France itself, offering wide-ranging surveys of dominant rights issues across Europe at any given period. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with key members of the LDH, this book provides an accessible overview of human rights struggles in twentieth-century France.
Download or read book Contemporary France written by David Howarth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At least since the French Revolution, France has the peculair distinction of simultaneously fascinating, charming and exasperating its neighbours and foreign observers. Contemporary France provides an essential introduction for students of French politics and society, exploring contemporary developments while placing them in a deeper historical, intellectual, cultural and social context that makes for insightful analysis. Thus, chapters on France's economic policy and welfare state, its foreign and European policies and its political movements and recent institutional developments are informed by an analysis of the country's unique political and institutional traditions, distinct forms of nationalism and citizenship, dynamic intellectual life and recent social trends. Summaries of key political, economic and social movements and events are displayed as exhibits.
Download or read book Why the French Don t Like Headscarves written by John R. Bowen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-16 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French government's 2004 decision to ban Islamic headscarves and other religious signs from public schools puzzled many observers, both because it seemed to infringe needlessly on religious freedom, and because it was hailed by many in France as an answer to a surprisingly wide range of social ills, from violence against females in poor suburbs to anti-Semitism. Why the French Don't Like Headscarves explains why headscarves on schoolgirls caused such a furor, and why the furor yielded this law. Making sense of the dramatic debate from his perspective as an American anthropologist in France at the time, John Bowen writes about everyday life and public events while also presenting interviews with officials and intellectuals, and analyzing French television programs and other media. Bowen argues that the focus on headscarves came from a century-old sensitivity to the public presence of religion in schools, feared links between public expressions of Islamic identity and radical Islam, and a media-driven frenzy that built support for a headscarf ban during 2003-2004. Although the defense of laïcité (secularity) was cited as the law's major justification, politicians, intellectuals, and the media linked the scarves to more concrete social anxieties--about "communalism," political Islam, and violence toward women. Written in engaging, jargon-free prose, Why the French Don't Like Headscarves is the first comprehensive and objective analysis of this subject, in any language, and it speaks to tensions between assimilation and diversity that extend well beyond France's borders.

Download or read book Europeanization written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-08-22 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theme of Europeanization has, in recent years, come to figure prominently in a wide range of social science analyses concerning both the process of European integration and broader patterns of change in contemporary Europe. Yet, though increasingly a staple of academic discourse, no widely accepted definition of the term has emerged. This volume of the European Studies represents one of the first interdisciplinary attempts to examine the manifold uses and possibilities of a Europeanization problematic. An international team of contributors drawn from the disciplines of Politics, Sociology, History, Anthropology, and Law explore processes of institution-building and identity formation through the optic of Europeanization. Their work offers new insights as regards the development of European integration, pointing particularly to the need for a genuinely interdisciplinary European Studies which encompasses, but is not limited to, the study of the European Union.
