Book excerpt: La démocratie a été happée par le principe de représentation, elle n'est pensée que par lui, elle en est devenue prisonnière. Elle a également été engloutie par le marché qui lui impose ses lois, comme le montre jusqu'à la caricature l'actualité. Pourtant, malgré la montée des populismes, la défiance à l'égard des élus et l'apparente indifférence politique, l'idée démocratique vit dans les quartiers, les villes, les écoles, les entreprises, portée par des collectifs informels de citoyens qui prennent en charge directement les questions qui les préoccupent et s'impliquent dans les grands débats de société. Ces expériences manifestent une forme nouvelle de démocratie qui n'a pas encore trouvé son nom. L'ancienne, toujours présente, s'appelait démocratie représentative ou démocratie électorale ; celle qui émerge hésite entre démocratie d'opinion, démocratie du public ou démocratie participative. Elle pourrait aussi prendre pour nom démocratie continue. Telle est la proposition de Dominique Rousseau, qui défend ici les principes et les implications d'une profonde réforme institutionnelle prenant acte du caractère vivant et concret de l'exercice de la démocratie. Dominique Rousseau est professeur de droit constitutionnel à l'université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. Ancien membre du Conseil supérieur de la magistrature de 2002 à 2006, il a été élu co-directeur de l'École de droit de la Sorbonne en 2013.

Book excerpt: Sommes nous vraiment en démocratie ? Sommes nous vraiment en démocratie ? Formellement, pour la plupart des pays économiquement développés dont la France, on peut répondre oui. Liberté d’association, d’information, votations...sont inscrites dans notre constitution et les séquences électorales rythment notre vie politique. Mais qu’en est-il de la démocratie réelle, vivante, participative, de ce fameux pouvoir du peuple, par le peuple, pour le peuple ? L’objet de ce livre est d’analyser l’état actuel de notre démocratie en France et de proposer des solutions pour construire un nouvel âge démocratique. A travers une réflexion politique alternative, découvrez une analyse de l’état actuel de la démocratie en France qui propose des solutions pour construire un nouvel âge démocratique. EXTRAIT Jamais la crise démocratique n’a été plus forte qu’en ce début de xxie siècle. Avec les questions sociales et écologiques, elle menace notre capacité de vivre ensemble et fracture nos sociétés. Notre « démocratie » est plus délégataire que représentative, purement compétitive et nullement coopérative. Le vote est de moins en moins reconnu comme un moyen d’expression de la vie politique et l’abstention dépasse dans beaucoup d’élections les 50 %, rendant les élus certes légaux mais peu légitimes pour nous représenter. Heureusement nous ne sommes ni dans une dictature ni dans un régime de droit divin, mais ne serions-nous pas dans un régime que nous pourrions qualifier d’oligarchie libérale ? À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Trait d'union entre le mouvement social, le monde politique et le monde intellectuel, le Mouvement Utopia est une coopérative politique d'éducation populaire qui vise à élaborer un projet de société solidaire et convivial, écologiquement soutenable, dont l'objectif est le Buen Vivir. Utopia défend ses convictions écologiques et altermondialistes dans une perspective de dépassement du capitalisme et de la logique productiviste.

This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En 2019, 40 ans après la première élection des membres du Parlement européen au suffrage universel direct en 1979, les citoyens de l’Union étaient une neuvième fois appelés aux urnes. Entre ces deux dates, le Parlement européen a profondément changé, passant d’une simple assemblée consultative au colégislateur de droit commun d’une Union européenne en proie à de nombreuses crises. Les contributions au présent ouvrage, tirées des travaux d’un colloque international qui s’est tenu à l’Université de Bordeaux les 9 et 10 mai 2019, entendent dresser le bilan, les enjeux et les perspectives, tant des élections européennes de 2019 que de la démocratie représentative européenne de façon globale. In 2019, 40 years after the first election of members of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage in 1979, the citizens of the Union were called to the polls for the ninth time. Between these two dates, the European Parliament changed dramatically, from a mere consultative assembly to the ordinary co-legislator of a European Union plagued by many crises. This book draws on an international conference held at the University of Bordeaux on May 9 and 10, 2019. The various contributions therein intend to take stock, examine the challenges and envisage the prospects, not only of the 2019 European elections but also of representative European democracy in general.
Download or read book The Neoliberal Republic written by Antoine Vauchez and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-15 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Neoliberal Republic traces the corrosive effects of the revolving door between public service and private enrichment on the French state and its ability to govern and regulate the private sector. Casting a piercing light on this circulation of influence among corporate lawyers and others in the French power elite, Antoine Vauchez and Pierre France analyze how this dynamic, a feature of all Western democracies, has developed in concert with the rise of neoliberalism over the past three decades. Based on interviews with dozens of public officials in France and a unique biographical database of more than 200 civil-servants-turned-corporate-lawyers, The Neoliberal Republic explores how the always-blurred boundary between public service and private interests has been critically compromised, enabling the transformation of the regulatory state into either an ineffectual bystander or an active collaborator in the privatization of public welfare. The cumulative effect of these developments, the authors reveal, undermines democratic citizenship and the capacity to imagine the public good.
Download or read book Fundamental Rights Challenges written by Cristina Izquierdo-Sans and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-17 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive review of fundamental rights issues that are currently in the spotlight. The first part explores why the question of whether or not fundamental rights have horizontal effect is a topic of endless debate. The second part focuses on human rights and the rule of law. It begins by arguing that the hitherto valid model of the rule of law is now outdated, and then goes on to outline the importance of the judicial dimension in countering threats to the independence of the judiciary. Lastly, the third part addresses a classic issue in the field of human rights: states’ margin of appreciation, highlighting two aspects: (i) the elements used by the ECJ to determine the scope of the margin of appreciation, which varies depending on the subject matter, the nature of the right in question, as well as the severity and the purpose of the interference; and (ii) the margin of appreciation enjoyed by national courts when interpreting the law. Exploring current issues concerning a topic of eternal interest, the book will appeal to scholars and practitioners alike. Written by formidable intellectual talents, committed to the study of fundamental rights, it rigorously analyses the most recent judgments of both the ECJ and the ECHR.

Download or read book Nonviolent Revolutions written by Sharon Erickson Nepstad and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2011-07-28 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1989, Chinese workers and students captured global attention as they occupied Tiananmen Square, demanded political change, and were tragically suppressed by the Chinese army. Months later, East German civilians rose up nonviolently, brought down the Berlin Wall, and dismantled their regime. Although both movements used tactics of civil resistance, their outcomes were different. Why? In Nonviolent Revolutions, Sharon Erickson Nepstad examines these and other uprisings in Panama, Chile, Kenya, and the Philippines. Taking a comparative approach that includes both successful and failed cases of nonviolent resistance, Nepstad analyzes the effects of movements' strategies along with the counter-strategies regimes developed to retain power. She shows that a significant influence on revolutionary outcomes is security force defections, and explores the reasons why soldiers defect or remain loyal and the conditions that increase the likelihood of mutiny. She then examines the impact of international sanctions, finding that they can at times harm movements by generating new allies for authoritarian leaders or by shifting the locus of power from local civil resisters to international actors. Nonviolent Revolutions offers essential insights into the challenges that civil resisters face and elucidates why some of these movements failed. With a recent surge of popular uprisings across the Middle East, this book provides a valuable new understanding of the dynamics and potency of civil resistance and nonviolent revolt.

Download or read book Common Ground written by Geneviève Massard-Guilbaud and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10-12 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s environmental problems—climate change, loss of biodiversity, polluted air, land, and water—all have their origins to a greater or lesser extent in how we have lived, played and worked. At a time when societies are confronted with the often dramatic consequences of past choices made in the fields of energy, technology, industry, agriculture, urbanisation and consumption, we need a history that casts more light on the ways in which unsustainable human-nature relationships came into being. This means forging stronger connections between social and environmental history. Common Ground opens up a dialogue between two sub-disciplines that to date have remained largely parallel endeavours, bringing together both established and younger scholars from both fields to explore how people’s everyday lives have connected to their environments—and with what effects. The book is organised in six sections: leisure and environment; nature and conservation; environmental conflicts; folk and scientific knowledge; environmental disasters; and energy, industry and urban infrastructure. By exploring the complex interplay between people’s day-to-day activities and ecological change, especially the values, beliefs and environmental experiences of ordinary men and women, we can better understand our past relationships with nature and perhaps make more informed planning and policy choices in the future.

Book excerpt: From the dawning of the industrial epoch, wage earners have organized themselves into unions, fought bitter strikes, and gone so far as to challenge the very premises of the system by creating institutions of democratic self-management aimed at controlling production without bosses.

Ripe with lessons drawn from historical and contemporary struggles for workers’ control, Ours to Master and to Own is essential reading for those struggling to create a new world from the ashes of the old.

Dario Azzellini is a writer, documentary director, and political scientist at Johannes Kepler University in Linz.
