Book Pauvret   et in  galit  s en Grande Bretagne  1942 1990

Download or read book Pauvret et in galit s en Grande Bretagne 1942 1990 written by Antoine Capet and published by Presses universitaires de Rouen et du Havre. This book was released on 2000 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le 20e siècle semble traîner derrière lui des valeurs et des réalités qu’il pensait combattre à jamais. Inégalité et pauvreté n’étaient déjà pas, plus, envisageables depuis au moins deux siècles et le Royaume-Uni semblait porter les espoirs de cette ère nouvelle. Depuis 1942, d’aucuns affirment que le procès richesse-inégalité-pauvreté est un des plus stables du pays. Qu’en-est-il au juste ? Le recueil bilingue (anglais-français) apporte sa contribution au débat.

Book La Grande Bretagne Et L Europe Des Lumi  res

Download or read book La Grande Bretagne Et L Europe Des Lumi res written by Serge Soupel and published by Presses Sorbonne Nouvelle. This book was released on 1996 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage rassemble seize communications faites lors de deux colloques internationaux sur les rapports entre la Grande-Bretagne et le continent européen au XVIIIe siècle. Une moitié des communications est de nature littéraire, touchant quelques-uns des auteurs britanniques les plus marquants de l'époque, examinés dans leurs liens intellectuels avec l'Europe (qui les influence ou qu'ils influencent). L'autre moitié contient des études sur les mœurs observées par les voyageurs, sur les représentations et images réciproques. Viennent également au jour les rivalités entre les pays (dans le domaine de l'érudition orientaliste), ainsi que la situation des habitants du Nord et l'Écosse, en marge de l'Europe, mais souvent enjeu politique pour l'Europe. La gravure satirique, enfin, a largement sa place avec un article sur les caricatures de Hogarth

Book The New Custodians of the State

Download or read book The New Custodians of the State written by Genieys, William and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2010 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The New Custodians of the State uses contemporary France to reassess sociological theories of political and policymaking elites. Based on detailed case studies drawn from social policy and national defense sectors, it concludes that a new type of sectorally-based elite has risen to prominence in France since the 1980s. Genieys suggests that programmatic elites found in specific policy sectors, made up of individuals linked both by common career paths and the resulting skills and expertise, should be seen as new guardians of state power." "Like their "technocratic" predecessors, programmatic elites maintain a high degree of independence with respect to electoral politics and to civil society; like them, they share an ideological commitment to protect and expand the role of the state in French society. Unlike them, however, these new guardians of the state are structured around specific policy programs and limited in scope to a given sector. Competition among programmatic elites at the highest levels of the state emerges as the chief driving force behind innovation for social change." "The New Custodians of the State introduces programmatic elites both as real-world actors and as an analytic category and highlights the limits of elite power by analyzing the defeat of reform efforts by the French Ministry of Defense. This book presents a thought-provoking critical case study that suggests that models presenting either a single unified state elite or those that herald or decry the demise of the state require modification. The work will be of interest to students and scholars of France, and its society and government, as well as anyone interested in the policymaking process in other countries with respect to domestic policy or national defense."--Jacket

Book The Social Dimensions of Fiction

Download or read book The Social Dimensions of Fiction written by Steven Tötösy de Zepetnek and published by Vieweg+Teubner Verlag. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a comparative study of nineteenth-century English-Canadian and French Canadian novel prefaces, a previously unexplored literary topic. As a study in Comparative Literature - with the application of a specific literary framework and methodology - the study conforms to theoretical and methodological postulates formulated in and prescribed by this framework when applied. This a priori postulate necessitates that the research on and the presentation of the Canadian novel preface be carried out in a specific manner, as follows. First, the study will establish the hypothesis that the preface to nineteenth-century English-Canadian and French-Canadian novels is a genre in its own right. This hypothesis will rest on the following: 1) a taxonomical survey of related terms meaning "preface"; 2) a survey of secondary Iiterature of works dealing with the preface; 3) a discussion of the theoretical framework and methodology of the Empirical Theory of Literature and its appropriateness for the study of the preface; and 4) a discussion of the process of the compilation of the corpus of nineteenth-century Canadian novel prefaces (Chapter one). In a second step, the theoretical postulate outlined in the hypothesis will be put into practice by the development and production of a preface typology (Chapter two). In a third step, further tenets of the Empirical Theory of Literature will be tested on the corpus of the prefaces (Chapter three). In a fourth step, the prefaces will be analysed following the tenets formulated in and prescribed by the systemic framework applied (Chapter four).

Book Social Reform  Modernization and Technical Diplomacy

Download or read book Social Reform Modernization and Technical Diplomacy written by Véronique Plata-Stenger and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-04-20 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1919 under the Treaty of Versailles as part of the League of Nations’ system, the ILO is still today the main organization responsible for the international organization of work and the improvement of working conditions in the world. Widely recognized for its efforts in building international labour standards, the ILO remains little studied by development specialists and historians. This book intends to fill this gap and traces the history of international development and its early pioneers, through an analysis of the activities of the International Labour Office, the Secretariat of the International Labour Organization, between 1930 and 1946. In this book, development is used as a key to questioning the ILO's place and function in the expanding inter-war world. The development practices and discourses that emerged in the 1930s were mainly intended to support the ILO's universalization strategy, which was made necessary by the events that shook Europe at the time. Development discourses and practices were also part of the "esprit du temps", as they were closely linked to the affirmation of the planist and rationalist ideas of the 1930s. However, development for the ILO was not reduced to a project of economic modernization, but was seen as a tool for social engineering, as evidenced by the ILO's missions of technical assistance, organized since 1930. The analysis of the expertise work makes it possible to highlight the logics that prevailed in technical assistance, which was more in line with institutional objectives, than with the dissemination of a genuine expertise. This book therefore hopes to bring new insight on the history of internationalism, and international organizations during the inter-war period and the Second World War, as well as on the role of the ILO in the history of international development thinking and practices.

Download or read book Asian Legal Revivals written by Yves Dezalay and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-11-15 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a decade ago, before globalization became a buzzword, Yves Dezalay and Bryant G. Garth established themselves as leading analysts of how that process has shaped the legal profession. Drawing upon the insights of Pierre Bourdieu, Asian Legal Revivals explores the increasing importance of the positions of the law and lawyers in South and Southeast Asia. Dezalay and Garth argue that the current situation in many Asian countries can only be fully understood by looking to their differing colonial experiences—and in considering how those experiences have laid the foundation for those societies’ legal profession today. Deftly tracing the transformation of the relationship between law and state into different colonial settings, the authors show how nationalist legal elites in countries such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and South Korea came to wield political power as agents in the move toward national independence. Including fieldwork from over 350 interviews, Asian Legal Revivals illuminates the more recent past and present of these legally changing nations and explains the profession’s recent revival of influence, as spurred on by American geopolitical and legal interests.
