Book excerpt: Essai de l’année 2012 dans le domaine Politique - Sujet: Globalisation, l'économie politique, note: 1,0, Institut d`etudes politiques de Lille (Institut d'Études Politiques de Lille), cours: Économie de la Mondialisation, langue: Français, résumé: Les effets politiques de la mondialisation sont estimés tout autant qu'en révolutionnaires que contradictoires. On pourrait d'un coté interpréter l'époque actuelle comme étant période de transition. Une transition causée par le déplacement du pouvoir étatique d'une proportion historique. La mondialisation retirait de l'État, depuis longtemps la forme d'organisation politique incontestablement dominante, de son autorité en transférant de ses fonctions habituelles aux auteures trans- et inter-étatique. Parmi ces acteurs surtout, et dans ce qui suit focalisés, les organisations internationales (OI), les organisations non-gouvernementales transnationales (ONG) et les entreprises transnationales (ET). En revanche, les sceptiques de ce développement constatent que les États nation maintiennent énergiquement leur autorité dans plusieurs domaines principales du gouvernement. Et cela à bon escient, comme sur la scène internationale ce sont seuls les États qui possèdent la légitimité de médiatiser leurs populations et d'établir un encadrement du droit obligeant. Selon la perception moderne, un gouvernement, soit nationale soit internationale, n'est légitime qu'il remplisse les conditions de la responsabilité et de la transparence. Voilà le problème de la régence d'une multitude des acteurs différents. Le sujet de cet essai est donc la souveraineté étatique de fait et fonctionnellement contesté par les effets politiques de la mondialisation. Ce premier doit, dans ce qui suit, être défini comme : L'autorité suprême de l'État sur son territoire national (souveraineté interne) et dans l'ordre international (souveraineté externe), où il n'est limité que par ses propres engagements. Les questions qui se posent pour cet Écrit sont les suivantes : 1. Est-ce que l'État nation est un modèle d’organisation humaine obsolète, dépassé par des acteurs inter- et transnationales qui sont mieux capable de remplir ses anciennes fonctions sur une planète d'interdépendances mondiales? 2. Est-ce que la mondialisation signe-t-elle sur le temps long la fin de l'État nation?
Download or read book L tat nation l re de la mondialisation written by Michel van Cromphaut and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2003 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quelle est la signification des concepts de souveraineté et de territorialité qui caractérisent les Etats-nations dès lors qu'ils sont contournés par la dynamique de la mondialisation ? De quelles marges de manœuvre les Etats disposent-ils encore réellement pour élaborer leur politique économique compte tenu des règles internationales du jeu économique, monétaire et financier ? Le libre-échange à l'échelle planétaire ne se traduit-il pas par l'effacement progressif des Etats ? Débordés par des flux divers et contraints de composer avec des dispositifs de régulation plus larges, les Etats-nations voient aussi leur pertinence mise en cause en tant que forme d'organisation politique. Les défis qui sont actuellement posés par la mondialisation ne doivent-ils pas les pousser à revoir leur forme traditionnelle ? Ces questions d'actualité, complexes et controversées, nous concernent tous et doivent nous inviter à une réflexion politique sur la question de l'Etat. Ce livre apporte les éclairages de personnalités aux compétences, aux formations, aux sensibilités et aux origines géographiques différentes. L'ambition de l'ouvrage n'est pas de proposer des positions univoques mais des clés de lecture destinées à promouvoir le débat d'idées et de contribuer à la compréhension du monde contemporain.

Book excerpt: This sophisticated book by internationally renowned theorist Zaki Laidi, tackles the problem of individual identity in a rapidly changing global political environment. He argues that it is increasingly hard to find meaning in our ever-expanding world, especially after the collapse of political ideologies such as communism. With the breakup of countries such as the former Yugoslavia, it is clear that people are now looking to old models like nationalism and ethnicity to help them forge an identity. But how effective are these old certainties in a globalized world in a permanent state of flux?

Download or read book Managing the Undesirables written by Michel Agier and published by Polity. This book was released on 2011-01-25 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Official figures classify some fifty million of the world’s people as 'victims of forced displacement'. Refugees, asylum seekers, disaster victims, the internally displaced and the temporarily tolerated - categories of the excluded proliferate, but many more are left out of count. In the face of this tragedy, humanitarian action increasingly seems the only possible response. On the ground, however, the 'facilities' put in place are more reminiscent of the logic of totalitarianism. In a situation of permanent catastrophe and endless emergency, 'undesirables' are kept apart and out of sight, while the care dispensed is designed to control, filter and confine. How should we interpret the disturbing symbiosis between the hand that cares and the hand that strikes? After seven years of study in the refugee camps, Michel Agier reveals their 'disquieting ambiguity' and stresses the imperative need to take into account forms of improvisation and challenge that are currently transforming the camps, sometimes making them into towns and heralding the emergence of political subjects. A radical critique of the foundations, contexts, and political effects of humanitarian action.

Download or read book Governing Africa s Forests in a Globalized World written by Laura Anne German and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many countries around the world are engaged in decentralization processes, and most African countries face serious problems with forest governance, from benefits sharing to illegality and sustainable forest management. This book summarizes experiences to date on the extent and nature of decentralization and its outcomes - most of which suggest an underperformance of governance reforms - and explores the viability of different governance instruments in the context of weak governance and expanding commercial pressures over forests. Findings are grouped into two thematic areas: decentralization, livelihoods and sustainable forest management; and international trade, finance and forest sector governance reforms. The authors examine diverse forces shaping the forest sector, including the theory and practice of decentralization, usurpation of authority, corruption and illegality, inequitable patterns of benefits capture and expansion of international trade in timber and carbon credits, and discuss related outcomes on livelihoods, forest condition and equity. The book builds on earlier volumes exploring different dimensions of decentralization and perspectives from other world regions, and distills dimensions of forest governance that are both unique to Africa and representative of broader global patterns. The authors ground their analysis in relevant theory while drawing out implications of their findings for policy and practice.

Download or read book An Anthropology of the European Union written by Irène Bellier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the problems facing Europe is that the building of institutional Europe and top-down efforts to get Europeans to imagine their common identity do not necessarily result in political and cultural unity. Anthropologists have been slow to consider the difficulties presented by the expansion of the EU model and its implications for Europe in the 21st Century. Representing a new trend in European anthropology, this book examines how people adjust to their different experiences of the new Europe. The role of culture, religion, and ideology, as well as insiders' social and professional practices, are all shown to shed light on the cultural logic sustaining the institutions and policies of the European Union. On the one hand, the activities of the European institutions in Brussels illustrate how people of many different nationalities, languages and cultures can live and work together. On the other hand, the interests of many people at the local, regional and national levels are not the same as the Eurocrats'. Contributors explore the issues of unity and diversity in ‘Europe-building' through various European institutions, images, and programmes, and their effects on a variety of definitions of identity in such locales as France, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Belgium.
