Download or read book Innovations Reinvented Politics and Representative Democracy written by Agnès Alexandre-Collier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on the issue of change in democratic politics in terms of experimental or actual innovations introduced either within political parties or outside the party system, involving citizen participation and mobilization. Including a wide and diverse range of alternatives in the organization of groups, campaigning, conducting initiatives and enhancing practices, they not only question the relevance of traditional institutions in representing citizens’ values and interests, but also share a common goal which is precisely – and perhaps paradoxically – to reshape and invigorate representative democracy This book is of key interest to scholars and students of party politics, elections/electoral studies, social movement and democratic innovations and more broadly to comparative politics, political theory and political sociology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les partis politiques sont souvent décriés, présentés comme en crise, voire rejetés sans autre forme de procès. Ils sont pourtant historiquement et intrinsèquement liés au développement de la démocratie. Ils sont aujourd'hui encore à l'origine d'innovations majeures : introduction de primaires ouvertes, prise en compte du genre dans leur mode de fonctionnement, renouvellement du travail programmatique, internet militant... pour ne citer que quelques exemples. Les partis jouent aussi un rôle-clé dans la consolidation des régimes en transition démocratique. Ce livre se propose de mettre en évidence la manière dont le phénomène partisan et la question démocratique se nourrissent l'un l'autre et évoluent de concert dans la période contemporaine. Il s'appuie sur des études de cas concrets dans plusieurs pays et régions du monde. Les contributions portent sur des démocraties installées de longue date : en France, en Grande-Bretagne, en Italie, en Scandinavie, aux Etats-Unis, en Inde, ou plus récentes et fragiles : en Russie, en Ukraine, en Tunisie. La première partie examine les transformations, pas toujours abouties, des organisations partisanes au regard de nouveaux défis démocratiques : la conversion de la droite française aux primaires, la démocratie numérique, la féminisation de la politique. La deuxième partie porte sur les dérives du jeu politique qui découlent d'évolutions diverses : la montée de l'extrémisme aux Etats-Unis, en France et en Scandinavie, les limites de la régulation juridique des partis. La troisième partie analyse les évolutions plus globales des systèmes partisans au prisme de changements idéologiques, institutionnels ou sociologiques : mise en cause de la tripartition du jeu politique français, recomposition du paysage politique italien, transitions démocratiques dans l'ex-espace soviétique ou en Tunisie.

Book excerpt: Les partis politiques, historiquement et intrinsèquement liés au développement de la démocratie, sont de nos jours souvent décriés, présentés comme en crise, voire rejetés sans autre forme de procès... Ce livre se propose de mettre en évidence la manière dont le phénomène partisan et la question démocratique se nourrissent l’un l’autre et évoluent de concert dans la période contemporaine. Cet ouvrage de science politique s’appuie sur des études de cas concrets dans plusieurs pays et régions du monde. Les contributions portent sur des démocraties installées de longue date. EXTRAIT Les contributions de cet ouvrage rejoignent aussi une appréciation, communément partagée, sur la fin de la démocratie des partis qui, comme l’a notamment montré Bernard Manin (1995), s’est étalée sur une grande partie du XXe siècle et se caractérisait par une identification partisane des électeurs et une discipline de vote des élus dans les assemblées parlementaires. La démocratie des partis correspondait aussi au développement des partis de masse qui, contrairement aux partis de cadres, s’appuyaient sur un militantisme actif, une intégration sociale et une organisation structurée (Duverger, 1951). Différents phénomènes viennent conforter l’idée de la fin d’un âge d’or des partis politiques : à côté de la baisse de l’identification partisane, mise en exergue par la volatilité électorale, on retrouve le déclin continu du nombre d’adhérents et le développement du militantisme intermittent. Les partis ressemblent de plus en plus à des organisations sans partisan ou à des machines électorales professionnalisées (Wattenberg, 2002). Cette transformation tient, pour une part, à l’épineuse question de leurs ressources financières. Dans les Etats européens, l’accord entre les partis de gouvernement autour des règles de leur financement public s’est soldé par ce que Peter Mair et Richard Katz appellent la cartellisation partisane (Katz, Mair, 1995). L’avènement du parti-cartel a ensuite animé le débat scientifique notamment dans le monde anglo-saxon. Une vaste analyse critique et comparée de ce modèle, parue en français, montre qu’on est en présence d’une hybridation des différentes formes de partis existantes plutôt que d’un nouveau modèle explicatif applicable en toutes circonstances (Aucante, Dézé, 2008). L’intensification de la compétition partisane dans les démocraties montre, notamment, la difficile monopolisation du pouvoir par les partis établis via le contrôle des ressources de l’Etat.

Download or read book Contested Tongues written by Laada Bilaniuk and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the controversial 2004 elections that led to the "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine, cultural and linguistic differences threatened to break apart the country. Contested Tongues explains the complex linguistic and cultural politics in a bilingual country where the two main languages are closely related but their statuses are hotly contested. Laada Bilaniuk finds that the social divisions in Ukraine are historically rooted, ideologically constructed, and inseparable from linguistic practice. She does not take the labeled categories as givens but questions what "Ukrainian" and "Russian" mean to different people, and how the boundaries between these categories may be blurred in unstable times.Bilaniuk's analysis of the contemporary situation is based on ethnographic research in Ukraine and grounded in historical research essential to understanding developments since the fall of the Soviet Union. "Mixed language" practices (surzhyk) in Ukraine have generally been either ignored or reviled, but Bilaniuk traces their history, their social implications, and their accompanying ideologies. Through a focus on mixed language and purism, the author examines the power dynamics of linguistic and cultural correction, through which people seek either to confer or to deny others social legitimacy. The author's examination of the rapid transformation of symbolic values in Ukraine challenges theories of language and social power that have as a rule been based on the experience of relatively stable societies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Counterpractice highlights a generation of women who used art to define a culture of experimental thought and practice during the period of the French women’s movement or Mouvement de Libération des Femmes (1970–81). It considers women’s art in relation to some of the most exciting thinkers to have emerged from the French literature and philosophy of the 1970s – Hélène Cixous, Luce Irigaray and Julia Kristeva – forcing a timely reconsideration of the full spectrum of revolutionary practices by women in the years following the events of May ’68. Lavishly illustrated with over 200 images, the book also features an illuminating foreword by art historian Griselda Pollock.
