    Polish Theory of History and Metahistory in Topolski, Pomian, and Tokarczuk (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This book traces the development of the Polish theory of history, analysing how Jerzy Topolski, Krzysztof Pomian, and Olga Tokarczuk have both built upon and transgressed the metahistorical theories of American historian Hayden White. Poland’s reception of White’s work has gone through different phases, from distancing to a period of fascination and eventual critical analysis, beginning with Topolski's methodological school in the 1980s. Topolski played a major role in international debates on historical theory in the second half of the 20th century. The book’s second study is a rare opportunity for English-speaking audiences to engage with the thoughts of Pomian, a philosopher and historian of ideas who has both complemented and developed theories of historical cognition independently from White. In the final chapter, the book presents a study of the historical imagination in 21st-century Central and Eastern Europe through the work of novelist Tokarczuk, the winner of the 2018Nobel Prize in Literature. In considering the contributions of these three thinkers, the book explores the active process by which past becomes history and thus motivates contemporary actions and realities. By deconstructing and reconstructing contemporary theories of history, this research is a unique contribution to the fields of historiography and the philosophy of history.

    Dictators and Autocrats (2022)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In order to truly understand the emergence, endurance, and legacy of autocracy, this volume of engaging essays explores how autocratic power is acquired, exercised, and transferred or abruptly ended through the careers and politics of influential figures in more than 20 countries and six regions. The book looks at both traditional "hard" dictators, such as Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, and more modern "soft" or populist autocrats, who are in the process of transforming once fully democratic countries into autocratic states, including Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey, Brazilian leader Jair Bolsonaro, Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines, Narendra Modi in India, and Viktor Orbán in Hungary. The authors touch on a wide range of autocratic and dictatorial figures in the past and present, including present-day autocrats, such as Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, military leaders, and democratic leaders with authoritarian aspirations. They analyze the transition of selected autocrats from democratic or benign semi-democratic systems to harsher forms of autocracy, with either quite disastrous or more successful outcomes. An ideal reader for students and scholars, as well as the general public, interested in international affairs, leadership studies, contemporary history and politics, global studies, security studies, economics, psychology, and behavioral studies.

    Les immortels du Sénat, 1875-1918 (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Ce livre s’inscrit clans la série des recherches suscitées par l’enquête sur le personnel parlementaire de la Troisième République, entreprise par l’URA 1016 du CNRS, au sein du Centre d’histoire du xixe siècle qui asso­cie les Universités de Paris I et de Paris IV. Cet ouvrage porte sur une catégorie de sénateurs aujourd’hui oubliée : les inamovibles, nommés d’abord par l’Assemblée nationale, puis par le Sénat, conformément à la loi constitutionnelle du 24 février 1875. Jusqu’à la révision constitutionnelle de 1884, qui mit fin à ce mode de désignation, il y eut cent seize sénateurs inamovibles. Les diverses contributions réunies dans la première partie apportent des éléments de réflexion sur les origines sociales et la formation, les alliances et réseaux familiaux, les attitudes philosophiques et spirituelles, les liens avec le monde militaire, le barreau, le monde académique. Il fallait évo­quer leur enracinement provincial, leur place dans les conseils du gouver­nement, leur comportement politique grâce à quelques scrutins qui per­mettent au reste de décrire tendances et groupes dans le Sénat des débuts de la République. Enfin, les obsèques des sénateurs inamovibles et la mémoire qui les accompagne constituent comme le tombeau de ces « immortels » de la République. Les profils biographiques présentés ensuite trouveront sûrement l’attention de tous ceux qui s’intéressent aux élites socio-politiques de la France contemporaine. On découvre nombre de personnalités dont les débuts, non seulement professionnels mais politiques, datent de la monar­chie de Juillet, voire de la fin de la Restauration. Certaines de leurs exis­tences. et pas seulement celles des officiers de l’armée de terre ou de marine, sont marquées au coin du romanesque. Elles font revivre, comme en un éclair, l’histoire mouvementée de la France du xixe siècle, jalonnée par les révolutions, les changements de régime, les choix difficiles entre fidélité et ralliement. Ce livre éclaire une institution rarement étudiée et un personnel mal connu, qui doit tant à la France des notables, une France de propriétaires et de juristes, attachée au libéralisme.

    Casimir Perier (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Héritier d’une dynastie bourgeoise du Dauphiné, Casimir Perier (1777-1832) est l’une des personnalités éminentes du premier xixe siècle français. Membre de la Haute Banque parisienne, Régent de la Banque de France et chef d’entreprise, il fut un pionnier de la modernisation de l’économie nationale. Il mit son autorité, son énergie et son sens des responsabilités au service d’une activité politique commencée sous la Restauration, dans les rangs de l’opposition libérale. Ministre de Louis-Philippe, il donna la pleine mesure de ses qualités d’homme d’Etat en se plaçant délibérément au-dessus des partis et en adoptant une politique d’indépendance nationale. Par l’ampleur de son action marquée du sceau de sa vive intelligence, Casimir Perier prend un relief particulier dans la France des Notables.

    Chapter 3 National Myths and Language Status in Early Modern Wales and Brittany (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: This chapter explores how the revision of national myths in Early Modern Britain and France reflects conflicts and contradictions between the perspectives of the dominant nations, England and France, and those of two subordinate nations, Wales and Brittany, formally annexed by their larger neighbours in the 16th century, and how the national myths in turn impinged on the status of the vernacular languages of the subordinate nations, Welsh and Breton. In order to legitimise the new Church of England, English protestant apologists claimed that its protestant faith was the continuation of the pure faith of the Early Church, which the ancient Britons, ancestors of the Welsh, had acquired directly from a disciple of Christ. Richard Davies’ preface to the 1567 Welsh New Testament, however, re-appropriated the narrative as specifically Welsh. Davies’ narrative was influential in Wales and contributed to a cultural context, together with the Welsh Bible translation, in which the Welsh language could flourish despite the increasing dominance of English. In the case of Brittany and France, the paper explores the contradiction between the antiquarian prestige conferred upon Breton by contemporary language antiquity myths and its actual subordinate sociolinguistic status vis-a-vis French.

    Nordic Societal Security (2021)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: "This book compares and contrasts publicly espoused security concepts in the Nordic region, and explores the notion of societal security. Outside observers often assume that Nordic countries take similar approaches to the security and safety of their citizens. This book challenges that assumption and traces the evolution of ‘societal security’, and its broadly equivalent concepts, in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. The notion of societal security is deconstructed and analysed in terms of its different meanings and implications for each country, through both country- and issue-focused studies. Each chapter traces the evolution of key security concepts and related practices, allowing for a comparison of similarities and differences between these four countries. Using discourses and practices as evidence, this is the first book to explore how different Nordic nations have conceptualised domestic security over time. The findings will be valuable to scholars from across the geographical and theoretical spectrum, while highlighting how Nordic security discourses and practices may deviate from traditional assumptions about Nordic values. This book will be of much interest to students of security studies, Nordic politics and International Relations."

    Chapter 11 Governance of Dual Use Research in the EU (2021)
    Taylor & Francis | Emerging Security Technologies and EU Governance | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: This chapter focuses on the governance of dual-use research in neuroscience in the EU. At a time when many countries are making unprecedented investments in the field of neuroscience, which sometimes are described as the ‘gold rush’ or ‘golden age’ of neuroscience, the European Commission has been supporting neuroscience – or brain research as it is sometimes called – via its research and innovation FP. In the FP7 that lasted from 2007–2013, the Commission invested €3.1 billion in neuroscience. In the first five years (until November 2018) of the following Horizon 2020 programme, a similar sum of €3.2 billion was invested (European Commission 2019a). This funding supports a number of neuroscience research projects included within the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) programme.

    Le commissaire de police au xixe siècle (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: On connaît bien le commissaire de police du xxe siècle, devenu une figure familière grâce à la fiction, dans la littérature d’abord, au cinéma et à la télévision ensuite. On connaît beaucoup moins bien son devancier du xixe siècle, mal vu par ses contemporains et négligé par les historiens. Il ne correspond pourtant que peu à l’image du froid bureaucrate à laquelle on l’a souvent réduit. Si, contrairement à l’inspecteur ou au « limier » de la Sûreté, il n’a alors guère sollicité l’imaginaire, ce fonctionnaire moderne a constitué à partir de la célèbre loi de février 1800 (28 pluviôse an VIII) un rouage essentiel de la construction de l’État. Au contact de citadins de plus en plus nombreux, il a été un agent décisif de l’acculturation à la norme et à l’autorité, gérant au jour le jour les transgressions ordinaires, contribuant à l’édification d’un ordre quotidien. Homme de l’entre-deux — entre pouvoir central et pouvoir local, entre État et société, élites sociales et petit peuple urbain, politisation et professionnalisation —, il résume et accompagne bien des contradictions du siècle. Cet ouvrage collectif, dirigé par Dominique Kalifa (Paris 1) et Pierre Karila-Cohen (Rennes 2), est le premier livre entièrement consacré à ce personnage méconnu qu’il étudie en un long xixe siècle, de la Révolution à la Grande Guerre. Aussi attentif aux origines sociales des commissaires qu’à leurs itinéraires, à leurs pratiques professionnelles ou à leurs conditions de vie, il offre aussi une ample sélection de documents, pour partie inédits, qui témoignent de l’activité quotidienne de ces policiers, appelés à devenir une des figures majeures de notre contemporain.

    Chapter Afterword (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | The Hispanic-Anglosphere from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Century | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The Hispanic and Anglo worlds are often portrayed as the Cain and Abel of Western culture, antagonistic and alien to each other. This book challenges such view with a new critical conceptual framework – the ‘Hispanic-Anglosphere’ – to open a window into the often surprising interactions of individuals, transnational networks and global communities that, it argues, made of the British Isles (England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) a crucial hub for the global Hispanic world, a launching-pad and a bridge between Spanish Europe, Africa, America and Asia in the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Perhaps not unlike today, that was a time marked by social uncertainty, pandemics, the dislocation of global polities and the rise of radicalisms. The volume offers insights on many themes including trade, the arts, education, language, politics, the press, religion, biodiversity, philanthropy, anti-slavery and imperialism. Established academics and rising stars from different continents and disciplines combined original, primary research with a wide range of secondary sources to produce a rich collection of ten case-studies, 25 biographies and seven samples of interpreted material culture, all presented in an accessible style appealing to scholars, students and the general reader alike.

    The Making and Circulation of Nordic Models, Ideas and Images (2021)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: This critical and empirically based volume examines the multiple existing Nordic models, providing analytically innovative attention to the multitude of circulating ideas, images and experiences referred to as "Nordic". It addresses related paradoxes as well as patterns of circulation, claims about the exceptionality of Nordic models, and the diffusion and impact of Nordic experiences and ideas. Providing original case studies, the book further examines how the Nordic models have been constructed, transformed and circulated in time and in space. It investigates the actors and channels that have been involved in circulating models: journalists and media, bureaucrats and policy-makers, international organizations, national politicians and institutions, scholars, public diplomats and analyses where and why models have travelled. Finally, the book shows that Nordic models, perspectives, or ideas do not always originate in the Nordic region, nor do they always develop as deliberate efforts to promote Nordic interests. This book will be of key interest to Nordic and Scandinavian studies, European studies, and more broadly to history, sociology, political science, marketing, social policy, organizational theory and public management.
