    Japan at War and Peace (2021)
    ANU Press | ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The question of how to maintain the continuity of diplomacy while developing democracy without military intervention is an old and new issue. The challenge can be described as a dilemma between democracy and diplomatic coherence. This dilemma is not unique to the twenty-first century; it has been a constant challenge to the development of democracy. In non-Western countries, democratisation originated in the nineteenth century and has had many successes and failures. After the Russo-Japanese War, political parties began to take power in Japan. The best embodiment of diplomacy in Japan's emerging democracy—the development of parliamentary democracy and mass-based democracy—is Shidehara Kijūrō (1872–1951), who served as foreign minister from 1924 to 1927 and from 1929 to 1931, and was prime minister from 1945 to 1946. As a diplomat from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Shidehara had long grappled with the issue of how to ensure diplomatic coherence in modern Japan, which was becoming increasingly democratic. Although Shidehara succeeded to some extent in promoting diplomacy in cooperation with the US and the UK under party politics, the rise of the military after the Manchurian Incident forced him to retire for a period. However, after the Pacific War, Shidehara became prime minister of the US-occupied Japan and attempted to restore cooperative diplomacy under party politics. Shidehara came to the conclusion that the way to achieve both democracy and diplomatic coherence was through nonpartisan diplomacy towards peace. This book examines the tension between diplomacy and democracy, focusing on Shidehara’s life and exploring modern Japan’s footsteps. Shidehara was undoubtedly one of Japan’s most important diplomatic figures.

    Le mouvement hibiste (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Au début du siècle dernier, le sultan du Maroc vient de signer un traité qui place désormais son pays sous le protectorat de la France (30 mars 1912). À l’ombre du maréchal Lyautey, un sultan de substitution, totalement soumis aux nouveaux maîtres français, a été proclamé. Cependant, nombreux sont ceux qui, au Maroc, refusent le fait accompli et se révoltent face à la mainmise étrangère sur le pays. Ainsi, dans le Sud marocain, Moulay Ahmed el Hiba, fils d’un marabout ouest-saharien (Ma el Aïnin), se fait proclamer sultan du Jihad en 1912 ; une première fois à Tiznit, la seconde à Marrakech. Ces événements ont donné naissance à un mouvement qui pendant plus de vingt ans (1912-1934) symbolisera pour ces populations berbères et ouest-sahariennes la résistance à l’avancée inéluctable des troupes coloniales françaises et espagnoles. Fondée sur une analyse croisée d’archives inédites, aussi bien françaises que marocaines, l’auteur fait la lumière sur un événement fondateur de la conquête coloniale du Maroc. Mythifiée, récupérée ou occultée, la figure fondatrice du mouvement hibiste est encore aujourd’hui le sujet d’un conflit mémoriel ayant pour objet l’Ouest saharien.

    Description: This book depicts the long rich life and wide ranging work of Count Athanasius Raczyński (1788–1874).

    Vietnam Task (2023)
    ANU Press | ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: On 24 May 1966, eight hundred men of the 5th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment, landed at Nui Dat, in Viet Cong territory. For the next 12 months they were faced with the task of restoring peace, civil law and regular commerce to the Vietnamese of Phuoc Tuy province. This book is a detailed record of those months in the monsoon jungles—of the problems that were faced and the solutions that were found. Captain O’Neill’s position as battalion intelligence officer enabled him to view the war from the standpoint of the battalion as a whole. However, he does not omit description of personal feelings—towards the Viet Cong, the jungle environment and the Vietnamese people, as well as the other Allied forces involved in the war. Most of the book was written on the spot in Vietnam. On operations or at Battalion Headquarters, Captain O’Neill jotted down details of the war against the Viet Cong, putting the events of each day in order, often in the small hours of the following morning. Thus not only is this a factual account of the 5th Battalion’s activities over the year; it is also a vivid and compelling picture of the war in Vietnam from the soldier’s point of view.

    The Role of Departmental Secretaries (2023)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Andrew Podger's monograph, The Role of Departmental Secretaries, Personal reflections on the breadth of responsibilities today, is an important contribution to the broader public policy discourse in Australia. Andrew has been, at times, an unflinching commentator on issues of bureaucratic performance, accountability and responsiveness to government. Andrew's reflections are drawn from his own experiences within the inner circle of Australian policy-making. In this monograph, he presents a highly nuanced portrait of the role of Commonwealth departmental secretaries. Although a 'player' himself at key moments in recent policy history, Andrew is a dispassionate and thoughtful observer of events. This is not merely a memoir: this work is rich in analysis and Andrew offers a number of 'lessons learned' to be heeded (or not) by the present and future generations of policy practitioners.

    Aux marges de l’hérésie (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Si l’histoire traditionnelle de l’hérésie au Moyen Âge s’est longtemps confondue avec celle des exclus de la société, l’approche récente se focalise davantage sur les diverses autorités qui, au coeur du pouvoir, élaborèrent la norme religieuse : l’hérésie n’existe que parce que l’orthodoxie en a d’abord décidé. Il reste que, loin de se présenter comme une essence immuable, elle s’impose tout au long du Moyen Âge comme un concept et une qualification d’une très grande plasticité. L’extension progressive du domaine de l’hérésie à de nombreuses formes de dissidence finit par lui assurer le statut d’un crime englobant. Cette enquête collective repose sur la conviction que c’est encore en se situant aux marges de l’hérésie, au contact d’activités répréhensibles voisines, telles que l’usure, la sorcellerie ou encore la rébellion politique, que l’on peut le mieux saisir les principes et les mécanismes de la fabrique de l’hérésie.

    Le Débarquement (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Qu’on l’appelle « D-Day », « Jour J », « 6 Juin » ou « Débarquement », nulle autre précision n’est nécessaire pour évoquer l’offensive alliée en Normandie en 1944, alors même que de nombreuses opérations militaires de ce type ont été menées au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et que le sort de l’Allemagne nazie s’est joué sur le front de l’Est. Quelles sont les raisons qui expliquent que cette bataille – une parmi tant d’autres qui ont émaillé les conflits du xxe siècle – a d’emblée revêtu une dimension historique pour les contemporains ? Pourquoi précisément cette opération militaire est-elle désormais régulièrement commémorée par autant de chefs d’État sous le regard des télévisions du monde entier ? Comment expliquer le statut si particulier acquis par cet événement au fil des décennies, jusqu’au projet d’inscription des plages du Débarquement au patrimoine de l’Unesco ? En revenant à la dramatisation des enjeux d’une bataille annoncée près de quatre années à l’avance, mais aussi aux ressorts politiques, idéologiques, économiques et culturels qui ont contribué à transcender l’événement en épopée, cet ouvrage s’interroge sur la quête d’identité de chacun des acteurs nationaux à travers l’évolution de leur mémoire. Ainsi peut-on mieux comprendre la surprenante transformation de l’épisode guerrier en symbole universel de paix et de liberté.

    La Compagnie des îles de l’Amérique (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: En 1626, une première compagnie par actions est formée à l’initiative de Richelieu pour mener la colonisation des Petites Antilles et organiser le trafic transatlantique. Elle repose sur les associés, des proches du cardinal, qui en possèdent le capital et en assurent la direction. En 1635, elle est réorganisée afin de pouvoir satisfaire d’une façon plus efficace les objectifs qui lui ont été fixés par la monarchie, à savoir, conquérir et peupler des terres et favoriser le commerce. Elle prend alors le nom de Compagnie des îles de l’Amérique. Sous sa conduite, les Français déjà établis à Saint-Christophe s’installent à la Guadeloupe et à la Martinique et affichent des prétentions sur la Grenade, Sainte-Croix, Saint- Martin et Saint-Barthélemy. Plusieurs milliers de colons tentent l’aventure en franchissant l’océan à la quête d’un meilleur avenir et de richesses. Les terres sont exploitées pour satisfaire les besoins de la métropole. Quelques grands domaines s’appuyant sur une main-d’œuvre constituée d’esclaves africains développent de nouvelles productions comme le sucre et l’indigo. Mais la Compagnie est bientôt confrontée à de multiples difficultés qui remettent en cause son fonctionnement et ses finalités. Les tensions dans les îles et les faibles retombées de sa politique économique conduisent les associés à cesser progressivement leurs activités à partir de 1649. Sa fin pourtant ne signifie pas l’échec de la colonisation française des Petites Antilles. L’héritage qu’elle lègue va fructifier durant les décennies suivantes et donner naissance au premier empire colonial français.

    Britain's Second Embassy to China (2021)
    ANU Press | ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Lord Amherst's diplomatic mission to the Qing Court in 1816 was the second British embassy to China. The first led by Lord Macartney in 1793 had failed to achieve its goals. It was thought that Amherst had better prospects of success, but the intense diplomatic encounter that greeted his arrival ended badly. Amherst never appeared before the Jiaqing emperor and his embassy was expelled from Peking on the day it arrived. Historians have blamed Amherst for this outcome, citing his over-reliance on the advice of his Second Commissioner, Sir George Thomas Staunton, not to kowtow before the emperor. Detailed analysis of British sources reveal that Amherst was well informed on the kowtow issue and made his own decision for which he took full responsibility. Success was always unlikely because of irreconcilable differences in approach. China’s conduct of foreign relations based on the tributary system required submission to the emperor, thus relegating all foreign emissaries and the rulers they represented to vassal status, whereas British diplomatic practice was centred on negotiation and Westphalian principles of equality between nations. The Amherst embassy’s failure revised British assessments of China and led some observers to believe that force, rather than diplomacy, might be required in future to achieve British goals. The Opium War of 1840 that followed set a precedent for foreign interference in China, resulting in a century of 'humiliation’. This resonates today in President Xi Jinping’s call for ‘National Rejuvenation’ to restore China’s historic place at the centre of a new Sino-centric global order.

    Les Éditions dominicaines du Cerf (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Les Éditions du Cerf comptent dans le paysage éditorial français, et pas seulement dans le domaine de l’édition religieuse. Fondées en 1929 par deux religieux dominicains dans le prolongement du succès de la revue La Vie Spirituelle, elles ont rapidement acquis, par leurs périodiques et par leurs livres, une réputation enviable dans l’aile marchante de l’Église de France : mouvement ecclésiologique (collection « Unam Sanctam » du père Congar) ; mouvement biblique (Bible dite de Jérusalem) ; mouvement patristique (collection « Sources chrétiennes ») ; mouvement liturgique (revue La Maison-Dieu) ; mouvement théologique (collection « Cogitatio Fidei »). Elles ont été ainsi un des vecteurs majeurs en France de l’aggiornamento conciliaire voulu par Jean XXIII. Mais leur histoire n’a pas été un long fleuve tranquille : les Éditions du Cerf ont traversé bien des orages du fait de leurs positions d’ouverture sur les grandes crises du xxe siècle : condamnation par Rome de l’Action française, guerre d’Espagne, Seconde Guerre mondiale, guerre froide ou guerre d’Algérie. C’est ce parcours mouvementé, conjuguant histoire générale et histoire religieuse, que retrace ce livre, rédigé de première main par un universitaire familier de tels événements, avec les archives des provinces dominicaines françaises. Il éclaire tout un pan de l’histoire du catholicisme en France au xxe siècle.

    Australian Travellers in the South Seas (2021)
    ANU Press | ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This book offers a wide-ranging survey of Australian engagement with the Pacific Islands in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Through over 100 hitherto largely unexplored accounts of travel, the author explores how representations of the Pacific Islands in letters, diaries, reminiscences, books, newspapers and magazines contributed to popular ideas of the Pacific Islands in Australia. It offers a range of valuable insights into continuities and changes in Australian regional perspectives, showing that ordinary Australians were more closely connected to the Pacific Islands than has previously been acknowledged. Addressing the theme of travel as a historical, literary and imaginative process, this cultural history probes issues of nation and empire, race and science, commerce and tourism by focusing on significant episodes and encounters in history. This is a foundational text for future studies of Australia's relations with the Pacific, and histories of travel generally.

    Situating Women (2023)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Since the time of decolonisation in Fiji, women's organisations have navigated a complex political terrain. While they have stayed true to the aim of advancing women's status, their work has been buffeted by national political upheavals and changing global and regional directions in development policy-making. This book documents how women activists have understood and responded to these challenges. It is the first book to write women into Fiji's postcolonial history, providing a detailed historical account of that country's gender politics across four tumultuous decades. It is also the first to examine the 'situated' nature of gender advocacy in the Pacific Islands more broadly. It does this by analysing trends in activity, from women's radical and provocative activism of the 1960s to a more self-evaluative and reflexive mood of engagement in later decades, showing how interplaying global and local factors can shape women's understandings of gender justice and their pursuit of that goal.

    Les embellissements d’Aix et de Marseille (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: La France du « Grand Siècle » est notamment connue pour l’extraordinaire mouvement d’embellissement qui toucha de nombreuses villes jusqu’à la fin de l’Ancien Régime. L’épanouissement de ce phénomène urbain sous le règne de Louis XIV a tôt fait de le faire assimiler au volontarisme politique du monarque absolu. Cette interprétation longtemps vivace a eu pour effet de passer sous silence l’action décisive des populations, des habitants des villes eux-mêmes, face à ces aménagements urbains. À partir des embellissements qu’ont connus les villes d’Aix et de Marseille au milieu du xviie siècle, cet ouvrage permet de revenir sur ces événements qui ont profondément marqué l’organisation de nos villes. En reléguant au second plan les aspects architecturaux et monumentaux de ces accroissements d’ampleur, pour se concentrer sur les processus juridiques et sociaux qui encadrent et accompagnent ces opérations urbaines, ce livre éclaire sous un jour nouveau l’action des habitants les plus divers dans ces projets. À partir d’un éventail documentaire particulièrement varié, ce sont plus largement les modes de production de l’espace des sociétés anciennes qui se trouvent mis en lumière. Du marché des échanges de biens immobiliers et fonciers aux appareils de pouvoir en charge de l’administration des territoires urbains, en passant par l’économie et les chantiers de construction, cette étude permet de mieux cerner la manière dont s’articulaient les logiques individuelles et les pratiques collectives dans la gestion et l’administration de ces « villes en train de se faire ».

    Intersections (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: “A wonderfully rich, insightful and personally touching collection of essays by the Pacific region's most prolific and engaging historian. Brij Lal writes eloquently and poetically about his professional and political journeys, and the many different people and worlds he has encountered on the way. Readers will be inspired by this collective account of a courageous life committed to the achievement of democratic freedom and social justice. What shines through these pages is Lal's love of and commitment to Fiji, from which he has been painfully exiled.” - David Hanlon, Professor of History & Former Director of the Center for Pacific Islands Studies, University of Hawaii at Manoa. “Intersections is a compilation of Brij Lal's essays where academic knowledge combines with life world experience. The voice behind these essays is always courageous and the writing itself indicative of a highly disciplined mind. Read this book with an open mind as Lal explores with sensitivity a country he loves intensely and as he reminisces on the vocation of a scholar. Savour the book's historical insights, enter into its subaltern worlds, debate and challenge its findings, and in that moment of engagement shed a tear for a country which has lost its memory.” - Vijay Mishra, Professor of English, Murdoch University “Brij Lal is a master craftsman and all his skills are on display in this fascinating work which blends autobiography with social, political and historical analysis to produce a work of impeccable scholarship. Lal emerges as much more than a historian as he reflects on the discipline of History, the changing nature of academic life, the challenges of the Indian diaspora, indenture and his travels. He may be banned from his homeland, but somehow one gets the impression that his influence is alive in Fiji, his adopted Australia and across the world. True to his indentured roots, he is still digging, still writing, and still making history.” - Goolam Vahed, Associate Professor of History, University of KwaZulu-Natal

    The Bible in Buffalo Country (2021)
    ANU Press | ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Arriving in the remote Arnhem Land Aboriginal settlement of Oenpelli (Gunbalanya) in 1925, Alf and Mary Dyer aimed to bring Christ to a former buffalo shooting camp and an Aboriginal population many whites considered difficult to control. The Bible in Buffalo Country: Oenpelli Mission 1925–1931 represents a snapshot of the tumultuous first six years of the Church Missionary Society's mission at Oenpelli and the superintendency of Alfred Dyer between 1925 and 1931. Drawing together documentary and photographic sources with local community memory, a story emerges of miscommunication, sickness, constant logistical issues, and an Aboriginal community choosing when and how to engage with the newcomers to their land. This book provides a fascinating and detailed record of the primary sources of the mission, placed alongside the interpretation and insight of local Traditional Owners. Its contents include the historical and archaeological context of the primary source material, the vivid mission reports and correspondence, along with stunning photographs of the mission and relevant maps, and finally the oral history of Esther Manakgu, presenting Aboriginal memory of this complex era. The Bible in Buffalo Country emerged from community desire for access to the source documents of their own history and for their story to be known by the broader Australian public. It is intended for the benefit of communities in western Arnhem Land and is also a rich resource for historians of Aboriginal history (and other scholars in relevant disciplines).

    Description: Over the last twenty years, advanced communication technologies have become pervasive throughout Western society. These technologies have not only revolutionised the delivery of public and private services, they have shaped consumers' expectations about service quality. This guide (written for managers who have an interest in expanding their approach to public engagement, rather than IT professionals) assesses the value that new communications and computing technology can bring to interactions with a range of potential stakeholders. An engaging, provocative and thorough survey of available technologies and potential applications, this is a 'must read' for policy and program practitioners who are considering options for electronic engagement.

    Clientélisme politique et recommandations (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: « Cli-en-té-lis-me », le mot est ancien, dure et perdure. Mais de quoi parle-t-on au juste? « Je connais tel élu et il a le bras long, il pourra me trouver une place à la mairie! » Si la phrase est courante, quelles réalités et quels fantasmes recouvre-t-elle précisément ? Alors que le phénomène du clientélisme a déjà fait l’objet de plusieurs études en sociologie et sciences politiques, cette pratique originale a moins retenu l’attention des historiens du politique. Spécialiste de l’histoire politique française contemporaine, Julie Bour entend étudier les acteurs, causes, modalités et limites du clientélisme via une approche quantitative originale et inédite, reposant sur l’exploitation statistique de corpus importants de courriers de recommandation, dépassant parfois les milliers de lettres entre les élus et leurs administrés et portant sur des dossiers sensibles, symboliques ou plus prosaïques (emplois, décorations, service militaire, aide sociale, affaires communales, etc.). Elle concentre son analyse sur un espace test particulier qui est celui de la Lorraine et l’appréhende sur le temps long qui va de la IIIe République aux années 2000. Au travers d’études de cas portant sur des élus célèbres (Louis Jacquinot, Pierre Messmer, François Guillaume, Christian Pierret) ou plus anonymes (Jean Bernard, Jules Develle, André Savard) qui représentent l’ensemble des courants politiques, le clientélisme apparaît pour ce qu’il est réellement : une pratique très répandue (et non limité à un Sud méditerranéen arriéré), qui structure la vie politique locale, mobilise tout un réseau d’intercesseurs relais, crée des solidarités fines entre l’élu et les électeurs, et joue un rôle parfois déterminant dans l’élection et la longévité politique de certains parlementaires. Cette pratique, ancrée sur la durée, institutionnalisée au point d’être déculpabilisée, interroge la démocratie dans ses limites en termes de corruption et de clientélisme.

    Publication Date: 2022-05-02
    Description: In Modern Slavery – A Comparative Study of the Definition of Trafficking in Persons Dominika Borg Jansson discusses why, despite international anti-trafficking efforts, there are so few trafficking convictions worldwide. In an easily accessible language, the author explains why international legal harmonization in this area has been difficult. Making use of the concept of legal transplants, Dominika Borg Jansson compares experiences from Sweden, Poland and Russia offering insights into especially Russian legislation that are not widely available. The problems concerning the implementation of the international definition of trafficking are here divided into country-specific challenges and obstacles attributable to the original source. Jansson also addresses the effectiveness of criminalization of trafficking and offers suggestions on how future trafficking legislation might be framed.

    Disciplines scolaires et cultures politiques (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Cet ouvrage envisage l’histoire politique récente des disciplines scolaires à différentes échelles sur plusieurs continents. Il vise à éclairer les rapports entre cultures politiques et transmission scolaire des savoirs, tant aux États-Unis qu’en Europe occidentale, en Chine, en Russie ou dans les territoires ultramarins français. Alors que le rôle des disciplines scolaires dans la construction des États-nations commence à être bien connu, il est intéressant de comprendre comment les rapports entre sociétés, pouvoirs et disciplines scolaires ont évolué depuis 1945 et jusqu’à nos jours, dans des contextes démocratiques ou autoritaires. Sous l’effet de la démocratisation scolaire ou de l’emprise grandissante de l’évaluation, les facteurs qui déterminent l’organisation et le contenu des disciplines scolaires ont beaucoup changé. L’étude de ces transformations ne se fait pas uniquement à travers l’analyse des outils pédagogiques mais met ceux-ci en relation avec des changements plus larges concernant la géopolitique ou les politiques nationales, les évolutions démographiques, les changements des mentalités et des cultures transmises.

    Le soin des pauvres (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Soigner les pauvres, telle est la vocation de milliers de jeunes femmes qui, tout au long du xixe siècle, prennent le voile en France et concrétisent ainsi un désir de vie religieuse et de service. Cet engagement ouvre aux femmes des voies pour s’affirmer hors de la famille, dans l’espace public et le monde du travail. Infirmières ou pharmaciennes, responsables de services d’hôpitaux et d’hospices, ou gardes-malades à domicile, ce sont les « bonnes » sœurs du xixe siècle. Figures de la charité, elles sont aussi les chevilles ouvrières du système public de santé dont elles accompagnent la médicalisation. Dans une société confrontée à une nouvelle pauvreté massive et alors que l’Église catholique s’inquiète de la déchristianisation populaire, les sœurs soignantes répondent aux attentes sociales et sanitaires, religieuses et morales de leur temps. La laïcisation républicaine signe-t-elle leur disparition ? Rien n’est moins sûr à en regarder leur présence dans Paris au début du xxe siècle. S’appuyant sur de nombreuses archives des couvents et des institutions hospitalières, cette enquête questionne la vocation des sœurs soignantes dans leur quotidien auprès des pauvres de la capitale. Elle propose une histoire du care qui éclaire les enjeux profanes et spirituels de la relation de soin.

    Description: This is a book about people caught between home and abroad, crossing imperial boundaries in southeastern Europe at the beginning of the modern age. Through a series of life stories, which the author reconstructs with the aid of many new sources, readers discover how certain men and women defined and adapted their loyalties and affiliations, how they fashioned their identities, how they enrolled their linguistic, political, economic, and social resources to build a family and a career. Travelling between Istanbul, Vienna, Trieste, Moscow, Bucharest, or Iaşi, individuals of different backgrounds built their networks across borders, linking people and objects and facilitating cultural transfer and material and social change.

    Du clos Saint-Lazare à la gare du Nord (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: La léproserie Saint-Lazare, signalée pour la première fois en 1122, était située à proximité de la ville de Paris, dans le faubourg Saint-Laurent. Elle devint en 1632 le berceau de la congrégation de la Mission que saint Vincent de Paul avait fondée quelques années auparavant. D’imposants bâtiments furent alors construits pour abriter une importante communauté. La petite église gothique accolée aux nouveaux bâtiments reçut la tombe du saint fondateur, devenant un haut lieu de pèlerinage que des tableaux de grands maîtres devaient dignifier. La maison et son clos attenant, qui comptait encore 52 hectares de terres en 1789, étaient devenus un domaine préservé dans un Paris toujours plus densément peuplé. Par la suite, cet espace subit des transformations marquantes au cours des xixe et xxe siècles. Accueillant d’importants projets de lotissement dès la Restauration (Nouveau Quartier Poissonnière), ce quartier situé près de la gare du Nord fut l’objet, sous le Second Empire, de réaménagements dont James de Rothschild est le principal acteur. Transformée tour à tour en prison puis en hôpital, la maison survécut aux aléas de l’histoire jusqu’à la démolition partielle des bâtiments en 1940. Seule la nouvelle chapelle et l’infirmerie bâties par Louis-Pierre Baltard témoignent encore aujourd’hui de l’existence du clos Saint-Lazare. Une infirmerie récemment restaurée par la Ville de Paris et qui abrite depuis 2015 la médiathèque Françoise- Sagan. C’est non pas tant l’histoire de la prison pour femmes qui vit passer Louise Michel et Mata Hari que ce livre tente d’éclaircir, que celle de la maison Saint-Lazare et de son clos et, à travers elle, l’économie de la maison mère d’une des principales congrégations de la France d’Ancien Régime et son adaptation successive à différents usages.

    Le paysage de l'historien (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Les paysages de l'Ouest de la France connaissent aujourd'hui une évolution rapide. Du Maine à l'Anjou et à la Bretagne, si l'on peut voir beaucoup d'arbres, il n'est pas sûr que l'on puisse encore observer un vrai bocage ! Le bocage a perdu le lien qu'il avait depuis son origine avec l'activité agricole : il reste une composante du paysage rural mais il n'est plus le cadre nécessaire du travail des agriculteurs. C'est la modification la plus importante qu'il ait connu depuis sa création. Le bocage n'est pas un milieu naturel : c'est un paysage construit ; il n'est pas là de toute éternité, mais il a été fabriqué et entretenu par des générations d'agriculteurs qui avaient besoin de haies pour pratiquer à la fois la culture et le pâturage. L'objet de l'ouvrage d'Annie Antoine est de porter un regard d'historien sur le paysage bocager de l'Ouest de la France : explorer les liens forts et durables tissés entre un paysage et ses habitants, lier la construction du bocage et ses transformations à l'évolution des sociétés rurales qui, de la fin du Moyen Âge aux mutations agricoles contemporaines, l'ont utilisé et transformé.

    Les gens de savoir en Bretagne à la fin du Moyen Âge (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Les trois derniers siècles du Moyen Âge voient le déploiement, au sein du duché de Bretagne, de multiples « gens de savoir ». Personnages ayant bénéficié d’un enseignement supérieur ou d’une formation sur le terrain, ils déploient, parfois en les cumulant, leurs compétences dans divers domaines : l’Église, l’État ducal, l’administration judiciaire, le notariat, etc. Le présent ouvrage en est l’analyse, réalisée à partir d’un corpus de données prosopographiques constitué de 5 599 individus (Bretons ou étrangers venus en Bretagne), mis au jour grâce aux sources publiées, mais surtout au dépouillement de 5 238 cartons et registres d’archives. Les parcours universitaires et professionnels, les stratégies, les réussites et les échecs, les réseaux, les biens des gens de savoir ont ainsi été mis en exergue. Majoritairement étudiants à Paris, à Angers, et juristes de formation, ils reviennent de plus en plus dans le duché afin d’y faire carrière, en particulier avec le développement de l’État et des administrations ducale et judiciaire, au cours du xve siècle. Très polyvalents, il est fréquent qu’ils exercent deux ou trois fonctions différentes (évêque et chancelier, secrétaire et sénéchal, chanoine et médecin), auxquelles ils accèdent par toutes les techniques et ruses imaginables. Hommes de savoir, hommes de pouvoir, les plus efficaces d’entre eux veillent aussi à se garantir des revenus et un patrimoine mobilier et immobilier parfois très importants.

    Résilience des images et des récits (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Depuis les périodes de terrorisme d’État jusqu’à celles des « transitions » démocratiques, cet ouvrage met en évidence des spécificités esthétiques des récits et des images entrant en résonance avec la notion de catastrophe, à partir d’une étude comparative entre trois pays : l’Argentine, le Chili et le Mexique. Il distingue les récits et les images de la catastrophe – en lien avec la forme testimoniale, nés des différentes expériences issues du terrorisme d’État et affrontant des impossibilités représentatives propres aux images et aux récits de l’horreur – et les récits et les images catastrophistes – liés au succès de la fiction allégorique, issus d’une volonté de repoétisation de la mémoire et rejouant des logiques eschatologiques qu’elles soient pessimistes, réflexives ou consolatoires. Parler de résilience à la catastrophe signifie qu’au-delà de la résistance identitaire des individus et politique des collectifs, les œuvres étudiées font preuve d’une puissance d’invention capable de s’adapter aux circonstances changeantes de l’histoire et de la mémoire, et de transformer, en retour et pour l’avenir, ces identités individuelles et ces politiques collectives.

    Money and Coinage in the Middle Ages (2021)
    Brill
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: This volume is the first in a new series entitled Reading Medieval Sources, examining different genres of sources in the Middle Ages, and this book focuses on ways of studying medieval money, and the most direct manifestation of money: coinage. It is intended to introduce readers to a range of approaches to a subject that has, traditionally, been seen as somewhat specialised domain of highly technical study which often seems to sit at some remove from the mainstream of historical and archaeological research. One important aim of the chapters offered is to show ways in which money can be incorporated into analysis of the Middle Ages more broadly, both for particular periods and in specific thematic contexts such as art, literature and economic analysis.

    Pouvoirs et environnement (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Les questions environnementales cristallisent des enjeux de pouvoirs comme le montrent les controverses actuelles autour du changement climatique, de la pollution de l’air, de la mise en péril de la biodiversité et de la transition énergétique. Depuis une quarantaine d’années, elles suscitent des mobilisations et font l’objet de négociations et d’oppositions à toutes les échelles. Or cette tendance récente s’ancre dans un passé plus lointain. Ce livre a l’ambition de montrer l’ancienneté et la richesse des liens entre pouvoirs institutionnels et environnement. Les quatorze contributions réunies ici interrogent les modalités de cette relation en balayant plusieurs siècles d’histoire sur trois continents (Europe, Amérique, Afrique). D’abord, les questions environnementales participent de l’affirmation des pouvoirs : les catastrophes naturelles et le surgissement des risques apparaissent comme des moments privilégiés de cette coconstruction. Ensuite, la définition de l’environnement constitue un attribut essentiel des institutions et des acteurs qui, pour défendre des milieux, sont parfois amenés à les politiser. À travers les aménagements et la gestion des confits, l’environnement apparaît enfin en tant que sujet de négociations et objet de jeux d’acteurs complexes au sein desquels les pouvoirs publics jouent un rôle souvent difficile, à l’interface entre des intérêts divergents.

    Description: States at Work explores the mundane practices of state-making in Africa by focussing on the daily functioning of public services and the practices of civil servants. Adopting mainly an ethnographic approach as a basis for theorizing, the authors deal with topics including: bureaucratic cultures and practical norms, operational routines in offices, career patterns and modes of appointment; how bureaucrats themselves perceive and deliver goods and services and interact with service users; the accumulation of public administration reforms and how the different bureaucratic corps react to the ‘good governance’ discourse and new public management policies; the consequences of these reforms for the daily working of state bureaucracies and for the civil servants’ identities and modes of accountability; and the space that exists for bottom-up micro-reforms that build on local innovations or informal arrangements.

    Description: Mai 1967, au Nigeria, la République du Biafra déclare son indépendance. Bientôt, la guerre civile et la famine ravagent la région et font progressivement irruption dans les médias européens et américains. Les photographies du conflit soulèvent une émotion considérable en Occident L’enclave sécessionniste et les zones reprises par l’armée nigériane deviennent alors le théâtre d’importantes opérations de secours, élaborées et financées par de multiples organisations et gouvernements. S’inscrivant dans une historiographie de l’humanitaire en plein renouvellement, ce livre raconte l’histoire de la guerre, de sa métamorphose en une crise internationale et des réponses qui ont été apportées. Basé sur un important corpus de sources provenant de fonds d’archives français, britanniques, suisses, nigérians et américains, il offre une plongée dans le monde de l’humanitaire à la fin des années 1960. Il montre les reconfigurations qui s’y opèrent à l’heure postcoloniale en proposant des échelles d’observation complémentaires - internationale, nationale et locale. L’ouvrage revisite par ailleurs quelques-unes des controverses qui se sont développées autour du conflit à propos de l’instrumentalisation de l’aide, de ses liens avec le politique, de la réception des opérations de secours sur le terrain ou encore de la naissance du sans-frontiérisme et du témoignage. Il revient ainsi sur la place occupée par la crise du Biafra dans l’histoire de l’aide humanitaire.

    De l’estran à la digue (2022)

    Description: Les politiques d’aménagements des espaces portuaires, littoraux et fluviomaritimes sont au cœur de cet ouvrage qui veut comprendre les mécanismes à l’œuvre depuis le xvie siècle jusqu’au xxe siècle. Les aménagements sont étudiés dans leur diversité, des plus modestes aux plus spectaculaires, quai, bassin, jetée, phare, citadelle, et dans une dimension spatiale étendue, à l’échelle du littoral français, avec la mise en exploitation du trait de côte, de la saline au parc conchylicole, du pré-salé à la station balnéaire, en incluant la protection des littoraux, l’édification des digues et l’entretien des dunes, ou encore la question de l’accessibilité des estuaires et fleuves côtiers. Le livre aborde les questions majeures de l’innovation, de la technicité et de l’expertise des aménagements, celles des marchés et des entrepreneurs, acteurs peu connus, véritables bâtisseurs du littoral. Il interroge la problématique du développement au regard du coût et du financement des infrastructures, de la création à l’entretien, où s’entremêlent les enjeux économiques et les pouvoirs.

    Alfred Naquet et ses amis politiques (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Loin d’être seulement l’homme de la loi sur le divorce, Alfred Naquet est l’une des figures majeures des débuts de la Troisième République. Son parcours et celui de ses amis politiques sont envisagés dans cet ouvrage comme servant de buttes témoins à une étude des pratiques et des discours autour des phénomènes de patronage, de corruption et de scandale à la fin du xixe siècle. L’auteur montre comment des réseaux autour d’Alfred Naquet participent à un clientélisme républicain et quelles sont les contradictions de ce parlementaire face à ces pratiques, ainsi que ses velléités de réformes constitutionnelles. Celles-ci s’inscrivant dans la quête d’une « vraie république » de certains radicaux au tournant des années 1880, oblitérée dans la mémoire républicaine du fait de l’engagement de certains d’entre eux dans le boulangisme. Enfin l’auteur montre comment Alfred Naquet passe durant sa vie politique d’acteur critique de la corruption électorale sous l’Ordre moral à la place d’accusé de corruption durant le scandale de Panama, scandale qui révèle des conflits normatifs autour de la question de la corruption.

    Protestants et protestantisme dans le sud aquitain au xixe siècle (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: À partir de l’exemple du sud aquitain, véritable condensé des sensibilités protestantes de l’Europe du xixe siècle, une analyse multi-scalaire permet d’appréhender les processus de réintégration et d’affirmation du protestantisme qui, au terme d’un siècle de persécutions et de clandestinité, devient une confession reconnue. De la promulgation des Articles organiques du 18 germinal an X à la Séparation des Églises et de l’État, l’étude du pluralisme protestant permet de définir de nouveaux espaces ainsi que de nouvelles et multiples formes de structuration institutionnelle. L’existence de lignes de partage externes, visibles au travers des modalités de coexistence, et internes, appréhendables par les points de tension inhérents à cette pluralité, révèle, quant à elle, les différents traits d’une identité protestante qui ne se conçoit que dans la diversité. Au-delà de ses divergences, cette minorité active fait preuve d’une vision collective et spatiale : par la création d’un territoire concurrent de l’Église catholique, par sa reconstruction institutionnelle, par ses réseaux, par ses engagements politiques, par la relecture de son histoire, elle se forge une identité originale et prétend jouer un rôle moteur dans la société de son temps.

    La société fluide (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Classes mouvantes, classes inquiétantes, pourrait-on dire. Les mobilités sociales n’ont jamais été véritablement un objet historiographique, celles d’Ancien Régime en particulier, volontiers tenues pour inexistantes. Il est vrai que la société dite d’ordres a longtemps servi de contre-modèle, pour ne pas dire de repoussoir, consacrant, dans les sociétés démocratiques, des dynamiques parfois plus supposées que réelles. « La société d’ordres d’Ancien Régime ne connaît guère les mobilités sociales », « le capitalisme dynastique français souffre de la rigidité de ses structures », « le marchand du xviiie siècle n’aspire qu’à quitter son état par l’anoblissement de sa lignée », voilà quelques lieux communs mis à mal par le présent livre. L’approche retenue en fait la particularité : délaissant les catégories traditionnelles posées comme a priori, elle offre une matrice fluide du mode de production empirique des mobilités et des identités bourgeoises, par une analyse méticuleuse de ses univers matériels, de ses réseaux de propriétés et de sociabilités- De la Malmaison à la place Vendôme, du négoce normand à la création de la Banque de France, de la traite négrière à l’argent d’Espagne, le livre épouse la formidable ascension de la dynastie Le Couteulx sur sept générations. Il propose, en définitive, un tableau totalement inédit des mobilités sociales bourgeoises, entre 1600 et 1824.

    La fin de l’asile ? (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Au cours des années 1960, les pays occidentaux s’engagèrent, avec des rythmes et des conceptions variés, dans un processus politique, médical et administratif visant à sortir les malades des hôpitaux psychiatriques. En opposition au modèle asilaire développé au xixe siècle, cette désinstitutionnalisation valorisait une prise en charge de la maladie mentale fondée sur les ressources communautaires et les services ambulatoires. Mais est-ce pour autant la fin de l’asile ? En retraçant l’histoire des modalités de sortie de l’asile dans le monde francophone du xixe siècle, cet ouvrage constate la nature mythique de la désinstitutionnalisation. Si on a bien fermé quelques asiles et libéré des malades mentaux pour les réintégrer dans la communauté, on était loin d’atteindre les ambitions des réformateurs de l’après-guerre. En Europe comme en Amérique du Nord, la déshospitalisation s’est en effet déployée tardivement par rapport aux proclamations théoriques et aux injonctions légales, à des rythmes différents selon les régions et de manière souvent conflictuelle. C’est sur les enjeux et les conséquences de ce phénomène historique majeur pour nos sociétés que revient cet ouvrage.

    From Election to Coup in Fiji (2023)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: In May 2006 Fiji held its tenth general election since independence in 1970. In a country with an unenviable history of electoral trauma, the mood was apprehensive if not tense - not least because of controversial public statements against the incumbent Qarase government being made by the commander of Fiji's military forces. Despite a record number of parties and candidates, the winners were the two big parties - the heavily church-backed SDL, the party of choice of the majority of indigenous Fijians; and the Fiji Labour Party, the party preferred by most Indo-Fijians. Although the result was ethnically polarised, for the first time in Fijian history the successful candidates came together to share power in a constitutionally ordained multiparty cabinet, with Laisenia Qarase retaining the prime ministership. But the fragile collaboration was short-lived. On 5 December 2006, Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama ordered a military takeover, declaring himself 'President', ousting the elected government and replacing it with an 'interim' government of his choice, and once again throwing Fiji into political turmoil. With contributions from ex-Vice President Ratu Joni Madraiwiwi, ousted Prime Minister Laesenia Qarase, leader of the Fiji Labour Party and now interim Minister for Finance Mahendra Chaudhry, and an impressive array of leading commentators on Fijian affairs, this book provides a comprehensive and penetrating analysis of the lead-up to, the outcome and the aftermath of Fiji's historic 2006 election. Shedding light on the complex weave of traditional chiefly systems, race relations, economics, constitutionality, the military ethos and religion, From Election to Coup in Fiji is essential reading for anyone with an interest in Fiji, the South Pacific and the politics of divided societies.

    Description: En 1669 est créée la charge de secrétaire d’État de la Marine. Son premier titulaire, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, se met à construire une administration centrale. Le nouveau département croît rapidement. À mesure que l’effectif des commis affectés à la gestion des affaires de Marine augmente, des subdivisions, les « bureaux », sont mises en place. Ces derniers sont eux-mêmes divisés en « détails », qui forment le dernier maillon de la chaîne administrative. Le nombre des bureaux s’adapte à l’évolution des besoins. On en ouvre, d’autres sont supprimés ou fusionnent pour donner naissance à de nouvelles entités. Cette subdivision en bureaux persiste jusqu’en 1786, année où Castries réorganise les branches existantes en quatre grandes directions. Les contributions réunies dans ce volume s’intéressent à cette évolution de l’administration centrale de la Marine de 1669 à la Révolution. Elles se penchent également sur les tâches quotidiennes des hommes qui y travaillent, sur leur environnement matériel, ainsi que sur leur recrutement et leurs carrières.

    A Genealogy of Bamboo Diplomacy (2022)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In 1975, M.R. Kurkrit Pramoj met Mao Zedong, marking the eventual establishment of diplomatic relations and a discursive rupture with the previous narrative of Communist powers as an existential threat. This book critically interrogates the birth of bamboo (bending with the wind) diplomacy and the politics of Thai détente with Russia and China in the long 1970s (1968–80). By 1968, Thailand was encountering discursive anxiety amid the prospect of American retrenchment from the Indo-Pacific region. As such, Thailand developed a new discourse of détente to make sense of the rapidly changing world politics and replace the hegemonic discourse of anticommunism. By doing so, it created a political struggle between the old and new discourses. Jittipat Poonkham also argues that bamboo diplomacy – previously seen as a classic and continual 'tradition' of Thai-style diplomacy – had its origins in Thai détente and has become the metanarrative of Thai diplomacy since then. Based on a genealogical approach and multi‑archival research, this book examines three key episodes of Thai détente: Thanat Khoman (1968–71), M.R. Kukrit Pramoj (1975–76), and General Kriangsak Chomanan (1977–80). This transformation was represented in numerous diplomatic/discursive practices, such as ping‑pong diplomacy, petro‑diplomacy, trade and cultural diplomacy, and normal visits.

    La Résistance à l’épreuve du genre (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Du milieu des années 1930 à la fin des années 1940, dans tous les pays européens du pourtour méditerranéen, des femmes et des hommes ont combattu, selon des temporalités et des modalités différentes, dans des mouvements de résistance antifasciste, que ce soit contre le régime en place ou contre une armée d’occupation, au premier chef l’armée allemande. Dès le temps de la lutte et à la sortie de cette phase de longues et intenses convulsions, la question de la place et du rôle des femmes a été soulevée, souvent par les acteurs et les actrices eux-mêmes. Elle a plus encore retenu l’attention de la recherche scientifique à dater des années 1970, quand les revendications féministes ont tait irruption dans le monde intellectuel et sur l’avant-scène publique. En revanche, les questions liées à la catégorie de genre n’ont été prises en compte que tout récemment et de façon inégale en fonction de l’aire géographique. Ce champ d’investigation relève davantage encore actuellement d’un chantier en pleine ébullition que d’un jardin à la française. C’est sur ce chantier que les artisan·e·s de cet ouvrage ont réfléchi ensemble dans une perspective transnationale qui en modifie les caractéristiques et la perception. Venu·e·s d’Australie, d’Espagne, des États-Unis, d’Italie, de France, de Grèce, de l’ex-Yougoslavie, leurs contributions éclairent différemment une période qui défie volontiers l’analyse.

    Description: ‘A free press is not a luxury. A free press is at the absolute core of equitable development’ according to World Bank President James Wolfensohn. A free press is also the key to transparency and good governance and is an indispensable feature of a democracy. So how does Asia rate? In Losing Control, leading journalists analyse the state of play in all the countries of North Asia and Southeast Asia. From the herd journalism of Japan to the Stalinist system of North Korea, Losing Control provides an inside look at journalism and freedom of the press in each country. One conclusion—a combination of new technology and greater democracy is breaking the shackles that once constrained the press in Asia. ‘Brings together Asia’s best and brightest observers of the press.’ Hamish McDonald, Foreign Editor, The Sydney Morning Herald ‘A rare insiders’ view exposing the real dynamics behind social and political change in Asia.’ Evan Williams, Foreign Correspondent, ABC TV ‘A timely and necessary contribution to the debate over the quality of freedom in Asia.’ Geoffrey Barker, The Australian Financial Review

    The Genesis of a Policy (2021)
    ANU Press | ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The years 1921–57 marked a period of immense upheaval for Australia as the nation navigated economic crises, the threat of aggressive Japanese expansion and shifting power distributions with the world transitioning from British leadership to that of the US. This book offers a reassessment of Australia's foreign policy origins and maturation during these tumultuous years. Successive Australian governments carefully observed these global and regional forces. The policy that developed in response was an integrated one—that is, one that sought to balance Australia's particular geopolitical circumstances with great power relationships and, in assessing the value of these relationships, ensure that the nation’s trade, security and diplomatic interests were served. Amid the economic and strategic uncertainty of the interwar years, the Australian government acknowledged the shifting power distributions in the global and Asia-Pacific orders and that neither the policies of Britain nor the US completely served the national interest. The nation, accordingly, sought to intervene within the policies of the great powers to ensure its particular interests were secured. This geopolitically informed, interventionist approach, which had its genesis in the 1930s, is traced throughout the 1940s and 1950s, highlighting Australia’s gradual and uneven transition from the British world order to that of the US and the frank assessments made about which relationship best served Australia’s interests. The Genesis of a Policy identifies a comprehensive and pragmatic approach—albeit not always effectively executed—in Australian foreign policy tradition that has not been previously examined.

    Policy Making and Implementation (2023)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: There is a vast literature on the principles of public administration and good governance, and no shortage of theoreticians, practitioners and donors eager to push for public sector reform, especially in less-developed countries. Papua New Guinea has had its share of public sector reforms, frequently under the influence of multinational agencies and aid donors. Yet there seems to be a general consensus, both within and outside Papua New Guinea, that policy making and implementation have fallen short of expectations, that there has been a failure to achieve 'good governance'. This volume, which brings together a number of Papua New Guinean and Australian-based scholars and practitioners with deep familiarity of policy making in Papua New Guinea, examines the record of policy making and implementation in Papua New Guinea since independence. It reviews the history of public sector reform in Papua New Guinea, and provides case studies of policy making and implementation in a number of areas, including the economy, agriculture, mineral development, health, education, lands, environment, forestry, decentralization, law and order, defence, women and foreign affairs, privatization, and AIDS. Policy is continuously evolving, but this study documents the processes of policy making and implementation over a number of years, with the hope that a better understanding of past successes and failures will contribute to improved governance in the future.

    Japan’s Failed Revolution: Koizumi and the Politics of Economic Reform (2021)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Japan’s Failed Revolution: Koizumi and the Politics of Economic Reform asks why, despite all the high expectations, the Japanese public’s desire for economic reform, and leadership of a majority coalition in a parliamentary democracy, the reformer Prime Minister Koizumi has not achieved the economic reforms expected of him since he surprisingly attained power over a year ago. To unravel this ‘puzzle’, Aurelia George Mulgan eschews the simplicities of both cultural and rational choice explanations and systematically tests the propositions in the comparative literature on ‘failed reform’. The result is one of the best books ever written about contemporary Japanese politics. It explains how, despite British-style parliamentary institutions, Japan’s very ‘un-Westminster’ traditional policymaking process involving the ruling party and the bureaucracy’s structure and linkage has stymied and will probably continue to stymie even a sincere and active Prime Minister’s best reform intentions. This book should be read by all political scientists, journalists, economists, and students interested in contemporary Japan. Ellis S. Krauss Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies University of California, San Diego. The author takes a scalpel to dissect Japan’s dysfunctional political system.

    Public Policy (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Ethics is a vigorously contested field. There are many competing moral frameworks, and different views about how normative considerations should inform the art and craft of governmental policy making. What is not in dispute, however, is that ethics matters. The ethical framework adopted by policy analysts and decision makers not only shapes how policy problems are defined, framed and analysed, but also influences which ethical principles and values are taken into account and their weighting. As a result, ethics can have a profound impact, both on the character of the policy process and the choices made by decision makers. Public Policy - Why Ethics Matters brings together original contributions from leading scholars and practitioners with expertise in various academic disciplines, including economics, philosophy, physics, political science, public policy and theology. The volume addresses three main issues: fist, the ethical considerations that should inform the conduct of public officials and the task of policy analysis; second, the ethics of climate change; and third, ethics and economic policy. While the contributors have varying views on these important issues, they share a common conviction that the ethical dimensions of public policy need to be better understood and given proper attention in the policy-making process.

    The General’s Goose (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: His admirers said he was a charismatic leader with a dazzling smile, a commoner following an ancient tradition of warrior service on behalf of an indigenous people who feared marginalisation at the hands of ungrateful immigrants. One tourist pleaded with him to stage a coup in her backyard; in private parties around the capital, Suva, infatuated women whispered ‘coup me baby’ in his presence. It was so easy to overlook the enormity of what he had done in planning and implementing Fiji’s first military coup, to be seduced by celebrity, captivated by the excitement of the moment, and plead its inevitability as the final eruption of long-simmering indigenous discontent. A generation would pass before the consequences of the actions of Fiji’s strongman of 1987, Sitiveni Rabuka, would be fully appreciated but, by then, the die had been well and truly cast. The major general did not live happily ever after. No nirvana followed the assertion of indigenous rights. If anything, misadventure became his country’s most enduring contemporary trait. This is Fiji’s very human story.

    Femmes, armée et éducation dans la guerre d’Algérie (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Ce livre sur l’histoire du service de formation des jeunes en Algérie (SFJA) est le fruit d’une recherche collaborative menée avec l’Association nationale-SJFA. Le SFJA a été conçu en 1958 à la suite de la crise du 13 mai. Si à l’origine son objectif était d’encadrer les adolescents non scolarisés dans le cadre de la contre-insurrection, à la suite du discours de Constantine ses missions furent élargies pour en faire un des acteurs de la généralisation de la scolarisation en Algérie, le SFJA intervenant là où l’Éducation nationale n’était pas présente. Organisme hybride, civil et militaire, son rôle était de prendre en charge l’instruction générale et préprofessionnelle des jeunes non alphabétisés. Le SFJA a été une expérience inédite d’une politique menée au titre de la jeunesse dans un contexte de contre-insurrection, la volonté des pouvoirs publics étant de lui faire porter un discours en faveur de « l’Algérie nouvelle » puis de « l’association ». Pour ce faire des équipes mixtes de monitrices (« européennes » et « musulmanes » selon les termes de l’époque) furent organisées pour travailler avec les filles et les femmes afin de les instruire et de faire passer ce message d’intégration. Les monitrices du SFJA sont parmi les premières femmes envoyées par l’armée en zone opérationnelle pour travailler au contact entre civils et militaires, à l’image des « unités de mission féminine » créées en 2009 par les États-Unis pour intervenir en Irak et en Afghanistan. En effet, cette histoire méconnue inspire aujourd’hui les stratèges. Pour réaliser cette recherche, les archives civiles et militaires ont été confrontées à l’expérience des témoins. Le livre propose ainsi une écriture originale articulant l’histoire du SFJA à une biographie collective des ex-monitrices sous la forme d’un récit choral, permettant de connaître au plus près les formes prises par cette politique de la jeunesse, pour les filles et les garçons, dans le contexte de la fin de la guerre d’Algérie.

    Caretaker Conventions in Australasia (2023)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: In this monograph, Anne Tiernan and Jennifer Menzies capably chart the often hazardous terrain of the 'caretaker period' that ensues from the time an election is called until a new government is formed. This is a landscape fraught with political and administrative dangers - particularly for public servants who are required to 'mind the shop' and keep the basic machinery of government going. The conventions represent an historical accretion of custom, practice and rules, often leavened with uncertainty. In tackling their subject, Tiernan and Menzies draw upon their shared past experiences as public servants and ministerial 'staffers' as well as the highest standards of academic scholarship - this is a 'must read' for politicians, public servants and students of government.

    Coopératives et mondes agricoles (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Cet ouvrage analyse les itinéraires comparés des coopératives agricoles en France et en Italie, entre le développement des premières organisations formellement constituées à la fin du xixe siècle et les années 1950, qui voient les acteurs professionnels et les pouvoirs publics s’emparer définitivement de cet instrument crucial de modernisation du secteur primaire. À l’encontre d’une histoire traditionnellement centrée sur les aspects institutionnels et politiques du mouvement coopératif, ce volume s’intéresse aux formes d’organisation économique et sociale des campagnes comme moyen pour éclairer les pratiques des agriculteurs-coopérateurs. Une approche comparée des cas italien et français permet d’explorer la nébuleuse – vaste et hétérogène – des premières expériences de coopération et de suivre l’émergence progressive d’un statut sociétaire spécifique. L’ouvrage approfondit ensuite l’étude des coopératives, en centrant le regard sur le cas exemplaire du latifondo céréalier de la Sicile intérieure, qui permet d’observer l’influence des structures agraires sur les formes de l’action collective. Par un jeu constant sur les variations d’échelles, sont ainsi étudiées à travers le prisme des coopératives agricoles les transformations des campagnes françaises et italiennes, au cours de la première moitié du xxe siècle.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Les sociétés contemporaines vivent entourées d’objets techniques, mais ceux-ci ne suscitent généralement que peu d’intérêt. C’est en partie pourquoi ces objets sont évacués des préoccupations de recherche en sciences sociales. Leur indignité dans le champs des valeurs et des’ représentations a entraîné leur déclassement comme sujet de réflexion. Et pourtant, quel passionnant objet que la machine à laver ! Son histoire révèle l’évolution des besoins domestiques d’entretien du linge, elle renvoie aux modifications des notions de propre et de sale, elle révèle les modalités de mise en place du machinisme industriel. La machine à laver est donc le lieu de cristallisation d’enjeux considérables, où sont impliqués de multiples acteurs : l’Etat, les constructeurs, les usagers, c’est-à-dire les femmes. Tous ont contribué à constituer cet espace d’échange, qui a fait que cet objet se crée, circule, se fait connaître et acquiert progressivement une existence sociale. Par le détour de la machine à laver, l’ouvrage de Quynh Delaunay nous invite à une lecture désaliénée des objets du quotidien.

    L’aérostation au temps des Lumières (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: En 1783, les premiers ballons s’envolent dans le ciel d’Annonay, puis de Paris. L’invention des frères Montgolfier stupéfait l’Europe entière. Ces machines d’étoffe remplies d’air chaud ou d’hydrogène soulèvent un immense enthousiasme. Le vol humain devient une réalité accomplissant l’idéal prométhéen de maîtrise de l’homme sur la matière. Au-delà de l’histoire bien connue de l’invention, l’ambition de cet ouvrage est de considérer les premières expériences aérostatiques comme un objet à part entière de l’histoire culturelle des Lumières, en cherchant à qualifier les réceptions différenciées de l’innovation et les pratiques sociales qu’elle engendre, au plus près de l’évènement. Échappant un temps aux inventeurs, à l’Académie des sciences et au gouvernement, l’aérostation devient en France une invention partagée par de nombreux amateurs qui construisent un espace public de la technique dont l’expression culmine lors des envols. L’analyse de l’organisation financière et matérielle des entreprises de vol menées dans différentes villes de province en 1784, révèle le modèle utopique d’une économie symbolique mettant en scène le consensus des élites éclairées et du peuple autour du ballon, devenu emblème du progrès. L’expérience qui démontre en place publique les effets des fluides aériens, alors à la pointe d’une chimie en « révolution », se transforme en une véritable fête des Lumières. Mais en interpellant les sens autant que la raison, la radicalité bouleversante de l’envol en fragilise également l’euphorie. Par cette étude, c’est à la fois une cartographie des savoirs et des pratiques, une lecture des milieux urbains et des publics de la France des années 1780 qui s’esquisse.

    Réfugiés et apatrides (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: La question de la protection des réfugiés est d’une brûlante actualité. Elle ne peut cependant être bien comprise qu’en explorant son histoire, qui est particulièrement mal connue. L’objectif de ce premier volume publié par le Comité d’histoire de l’Office français pour la protection des réfugiés et des apatrides, à partir d’archives en grande majorité inédites, est de contribuer à remédier à cette méconnaissance. Il porte sur les années 1920 à 1960 et concerne la France et le monde occidental. En tenant compte des nouvelles orientations de la recherche, l’ouvrage a une approche globale du réfugié, et produit les éléments d’une histoire qui érige celui-ci en sujet et non en simple objet de projections des politiques publiques, des mobilisations associatives et des programmes humanitaires. Il permet ainsi de rejoindre la centralité de la figure du réfugié au xxe siècle comme concept-limite mettant en tension les fondements de l’État-nation. Peut-on dire que la protection des réfugiés en France des années vingt aux années cinquante est marquée par des ruptures de pratiques, de normes et d’acteurs significatives ou au contraire, les éléments de continuité l’emportent-ils ? Comment comprendre les articulations entre le national et l’international dans une période de mise en place d’un droit des réfugiés par la Société des Nations puis par l’Organisation des Nations unies avec la convention de 1951 ? Comment mesurer le tournant que constituent la Seconde Guerre mondiale et la création de l’Ofpra en 1952 ? Comment analyser la création d’une institution administrative, qui succède à une gestion nationale et internationale de type consulaire mise en place pour les réfugiés russes et arméniens depuis l’entre-deux- guerres ? L’évolution souvent soulignée à partir des exils allemands et autrichiens, notamment juifs, vers une individualisation du statut de réfugié, c’est-à-dire le passage d’une protection collective, par groupes nationaux, à un statut, celui de 1951 avec la convention de Genève, intégrant la crainte de la persécution et une instruction individualisée est-elle véritablement opératoire ? Ce sont à ces différentes questions que les contributeurs de cet ouvrage essaient d’apporter des éléments de réponse à travers une sociohistoire des pratiques et des acteurs étatiques et transnationaux.

    Les Prétoriens du Général (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Fondé par de Gaulle au printemps 1947, le Rassemblement du peuple français (RPF) se dote d’un puissant service d’ordre pour se protéger de la violence communiste. S’inspirant d’un modèle de gestion militante de la violence politique élaboré depuis la fin du xixe siècle par la droite nationaliste française (des Commissaires de Déroulède aux Dispos des Croix-de-Feu), ce puissant appareil de sécurité, incarné par des chefs charismatiques (colonel Rémy, Dominique Ponchardier), met au point un protocole efficace pour sécuriser les meetings et campagnes d’affichage. Avec ses gros bras et sa « brigade volante », le RPF tient la rue et permet au Général d’exister politiquement. L’ouvrage questionne la nature paramilitaire de ce service d’ordre (niveau d’effectifs, présence d’armes, sur-représentation de militaires, fonctionnement autoritaire et dimension offensive), interroge son rapport banalisé à la violence (effet générationnel de la guerre, propagande accidentogène, virilisme politique), analyse les pratiques de clandestinité, d’infiltration et d’espionnage issues de la Résistance et réactivées par l’anticommunisme de guerre froide. Remobilisé lors des « complots » du printemps 1958 et de la campagne référendaire de l’automne, ce service d’ordre, dans lequel le nouveau chef de l’État recrute ses « gorilles », forme début 1959 le Service d’action civique qui recycle sous l’impulsion du tandem Foccart/Debizet, les hommes et méthodes du RPF. L’ouvrage insiste sur ce que révèle cet appareil de sécurité de la culture politique gaulliste : la place de l’informel et de l’officieux, le rôle de la violence et du secret. Il propose une histoire politique et culturelle de la violence militante en France des lendemains de la Seconde Guerre mondiale aux débuts de la Ve République (1947-1959) via une lecture « par le bas » centrée sur le terrain, et sur des acteurs et types d’engagement souvent négligés car jugés mineurs et prosaïques.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Du milieu des années 1960 à la fin des années 1970, Louviers, cité de Normandie qui avait été le fief de Pierre Mendès France, a connu une vie politique et citoyenne intense, étonnante. « L’imagination était au pouvoir » titre Le Nouvel Observateur en 1969, en découvrant les idées et les réalisations d’un jeune maire médecin. Sept ans plus tard, lorsque le comité d’action de gauche local conquiert la municipalité, c’est au nom de « Rendre le pouvoir aux citoyens » et d’« Information Participation Contrôle ». L’enquête menée par Hélène Hatzfeld dans les archives et auprès des acteurs de l’époque met à nu les continuités et les transformations d’un projet d’émancipation sociale, politique et humaine qui rebondit d’une décennie à l’autre, jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Une bascule s’opère : les horizons révolutionnaires font place à l’invention d’alternatives ; le mythe d’une municipalité autogestionnaire se construit et se diffuse. Par la diversité de ses emprunts, par l’exercice des pouvoirs et la subversion des institutions, l’histoire de Louviers est révélatrice d’une généalogie complexe de la démocratie participative. Débats, espoirs, désenchantements et conflits sont ici minutieusement décryptés, questionnés et toujours remis en contexte. Louviers est un terrain d’expérimentation de possibles qui, tout en appartenant à l’imaginaire d’une époque, trouvent un écho dans les mobilisations et les attentes de notre début de xxie siècle.

    Description: Armed conflict, today, has diverged from war as it was known in generations past, and from this, has tested the means by which conflicts and violence are regulated. Written with an eye to a region plagued by such conflicts, War and Law in the Islamic World examines the origins and roles that two distinct systems of governance – Islamic law and international humanitarian law – have played in conflicts past and present. Meant equally for the scholar or student, this book presents the legal and policy complexities of today’s conflicts in a new light through its careful and well-researched investigation of the past and the present.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Australia's federal system is in a state of flux and its relevance is being challenged. Dramatic shifts are occurring in the ways in which power and responsibility are shared between governments. Pressure for reform is coming not just from above, but from below, as the needs of local and regional communities - both rural and urban - occupy an increasingly important place on the national stage. How will these competing pressures for centralisation and devolution in the structures of federalism be reconciled? In this volume, experts and policy practitioners from diverse backgrounds canvass this uncertain future to conclude that the future of state, regional and local institutions is not only a vital question of federal governance, but must be addressed in a conscious and concerted way if Australian federalism is to evolve in ways that are sufficiently legitimate, effective, efficient and adaptive.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Fiducial Governance: An Australian republic for the new millennium represents an attempt to grapple with the challenges of designing governance regimes suited to the new millennium. Power's monograph asserts the need for the reform of Australian governance and charts Australia's fitful progress towards a republican future. Along the way he sketches a framework for constitutional reform, mindful of the strengths and weaknesses of the current system of government and the contest of ideas about the role and configuration of Australian Heads of State. Long a frustrated Australian republican, Power contends that the republican log jam is due in significant part to a lack of respect shown by the republican policy community to the contribution long made to good governance by monarchical heads of state. This monograph seeks to draw lessons from this experience, so as to make the republican venture one of substance for the Australian public. In so doing, Power draws on a range of republican, indigenous and feminist writings in order to develop a new framework of 'fiducial governance' aimed at enhancing the trustworthiness and integrity of our institutions of governance, thereby paving the way for the replacement of the monarch by a directly elected head of state. This is an erudite and thoughtful book that will be of interest to those with an interest in systems of governance and to constitutional scholars, whether they be republicans or monarchists.

The movement's founder, Paliau Maloat, promoted a program for step-by-step social change in which many of his followers also found hope for a miraculous millenarian transformation. Drawing on data collected over several decades, Theodore Schwartz and Michael French Smith describe the movement’s history, Paliau’s transformation from secular reformer and politician to Melanesian Jesus, and the development of the current incarnation of the movement as Wind Nation, a fully millenarian endeavour. Their analysis casts doubt on common ways of understanding a characteristically Melanesian form of millenarianism, the cargo cult, and questions widely accepted ways of interpreting millenarianism in general. They show that to understand the human proclivity for millenarianism we must scrutinise more closely two near-universal human tendencies: difficulty accepting the role of chance or impersonal forces in shaping events (that is, the tendency to personify causation), and a tendency to imagine that one or one’s group is the focus of the malign or benign attention of purposeful entities, from the local to the cosmic. Schwartz and Smith discuss the prevalence of millenarianism and warn against romanticising it, because the millenarian mind can subvert rationality and nourish rage and fear even as it seeks transcendence.

    Fiji before the storm (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: A racially-weighted Constitution, promulgated by decree in 1990, divided the country and invited international condemnation, and the economy suffered from the collapse of institutions of good governance. In 1995, an independent Constitution Review Commision appointed by the Fijian parliament, recommended wide-ranging changes to the Constitution. Its report formed the basis of a new Constitution promulgated, after wide-ranging consultation and debate, in 1997. Two years later, Fiji held a general election under it. This collection of essays looks at the politics and dynamics of that momentous event, and the role of key individuals and institutions in producing an outcome that, a year later, plunged Fiji into its first major crisis of the twenty-first century. The essays look at some of the key political and development issues on the eve of the crisis, but the relevance to the current debates about the nature and meaning of politics in Fiji remains. All the contributors are recognised and longstanding specialists in their fields.

    Minding the Gap (2023)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: 'Mind the Gap!' is an almost iconic exhortation, originating in the London Underground, warning travellers to be careful when navigating the 'gap' between the platform and train. In this volume, Peter Carroll, Rex Deighton-Smith, Helen Silver and Chris Walker retrospectively assess the 'gap' — no less dynamic and perilous in a public policy context — between the promise and performance of successive waves of regulation in Australia since the 1980s. Regulatory bodies exist to exercise what might be broadly termed 'control functions' and, by nature, tend to be conservative both in their culture and operations. Institutional conservatism does not, of necessity, preclude the exercise of creativity and foresight, both of which are sorely required if government is to successfully meet the challenge of delivering more effective and less costly regulation. The business and policy environment is complex, the risks are great and the rewards of success and the costs of failure will be enormous. The true measure of success will be how effectively we are able to close the gap between promise and performance.

    Les dons d’archives et de bibliothèques (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Pourquoi s’intéresser à la question du don au regard de ces objets particuliers que sont les archives et les bibliothèques ? La théorie maussienne du don leur est-elle mécaniquement applicable ? Inversement, en quoi l’environnement – bibliothèques ou services d’archives – qui reçoit le contenu matériel et symbolique de ce qui est échangé peut-il apporter des éléments nouveaux aux théories du don ? Quelles sont les stratégies d’affirmation de soi et de transmission à l’œuvre et observables ? Quelles sont les intentions et a contrario les attentes ? L’analyse de la transaction peut-elle amener à réévaluer les pratiques des archivistes et des bibliothécaires ? Telles sont les questions auxquelles s’efforce de répondre cet ouvrage qui, ni manuel ni encyclopédie du don patrimonial, a l’ambition de replacer le geste du don de documents dans le contexte plus général du don comme créateur de lien social, de l’envisager dans sa dynamique de circulation dans la société et de s’interroger sur la nature symbolique de la relation qui se noue entre donateurs et donataires. Dépouillé de ses habits juridiques, le don d’archives ou de bibliothèques se révèle partiellement singulier. Le donateur s’y défait d’un bien en faveur d’un bénéficiaire collectif et anonyme, un bénéficiaire plus potentiel que réalisé ; l’établissement bénéficiaire – donataire apparent – est réellement le médiateur du don, lieu de conservation et de transmission de l’objet donné vers son destinataire réel, le public.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The Libri Feudorum (the ‘books of fiefs’) are the earliest written body of feudal customs in Europe, codified in northern Italy c.1100-1250, which gave rise to feudal law as a branch of civil law. Their role in shaping modern ideas of feudalism has aroused an intense debate among medievalists, leading to deep re-thinking of the ‘feudal’ vocabulary and categories. This book offers an up-to-date English translation with a working Latin text introduced by a historical and historiographical overview of the Libri, thereby providing a valuable tool to understanding the long-standing importance of this collection over nine centuries of European history.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Exile, Diplomacy and Texts offers an interdisciplinary narrative of religious, political, and diplomatic exchanges between early modern Iberia and the British Isles during a period uniquely marked by inconstant alliances and corresponding antagonisms. Such conditions notwithstanding, the essays in this volume challenge conventionally monolithic views of confrontation, providing – through fresh examination of exchanges of news, movements and interactions of people, transactions of books and texts – new evidence of trans-national and trans-cultural conversations between British and Irish communities in the Iberian Peninsula, and of Spanish and Portuguese ‘others’ travelling to Britain and Ireland. Readership: All interested in early modern European (British, Irish, Spanish, Portuguese) history, and its political, religious, diplomatic and cultural manifestations, also from a comparatist perspective. Keywords: ambassadors, Black Legend, book history, captives, Catholic colleges, chronicles, Early Modern, imagology, libraries, manuscript culture, networks, news pamphlets, reading culture, visual culture.

    Public Leadership (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: 'Leadership' is routinely admired, vilified, ridiculed, invoked, trivialised, explained and speculated about in the media and in everyday conversation. Despite all this talk, there is surprisingly little consensus about how to answer basic questions about the nature, place, role and impact of leadership in contemporary society. This book brings together academics from a broad array of social science disciplines who are interested in contemporary understandings of leadership in the public domain. Their work on political, administrative and civil society leadership represents a stock-take of what we need to know and offers original examples of what we do know about public leadership. Although this volume connects scholars living in, and mostly working on, public leadership in Australia and New Zealand, their contributions have a much broader scope and relevance.

    Description: While leadership is an over-used term today, how it is defined for women and the contexts in which it emerges remains elusive. Moreover, women are exhorted to exercise leadership, but occupying leadership positions has its challenges. Issues of access, acceptable behaviour and the development of skills to be successful leaders are just some of them.

    Description: In Jacopo Strada and Cultural Patronage at the Imperial Court: Antiquity as Innovation, Dirk Jansen provides a survey of the life and career of the antiquary, architect, and courtier Jacopo Strada (Mantua 1515-Vienna 1588). His manifold activities — also as a publisher and as an agent and artistic and scholarly advisor of powerful patrons such as Hans Jakob Fugger, the Duke of Bavaria and the Emperors Ferdinand I and Maximilian II — are examined in detail, and studied within the context of the cosmopolitan learned and courtly environments in which he moved. These volumes offer a substantial reassessment of Strada’s importance as an agent of change, transmitting the ideas and artistic language of the Italian Renaissance to the North.

    Customary Land Tenure & Registration in Australia and Papua New Guinea (2023)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: The main theme of this volume is a discussion of the ways in which legal mechanisms, such as the Land Groups Incorporation Act (1974) in PNG, and the Native Title Act (1993) in Australia, do not, as they purport, serve merely to identify and register already-existing customary indigenous landowning groups in these countries. Because the legislation is an integral part of the way in which indigenous people are defined and managed in relation to the State, it serves to elicit particular responses in landowner organisation and self-identification on the part of indigenous people. These pieces of legislation actively contour the progressive evolution of landowner social, territorial and political organisation at all levels in these nation states. The contributors to this volume provide in-depth anthropological case studies of social structural and cultural transformations engendered by the confrontation between states, developers and indigenous communities over rights to customarily owned land.

    L’État, l’argent et les cultes de 1958 à 1987 (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Entre 1958 et 1987, le droit français s’est enrichi de mesures favorables aux intérêts des cultes : exonérations fiscales, garantie publique des emprunts, etc. Quelle histoire se cache derrière ces nouvelles dispositions légales ? Comment la Ve République a-t-elle construit un cadre qui sert les intérêts des cultes tout en respectant l’interdiction de leur financement public posée en 1905 ? Le présent ouvrage montre que des responsables catholiques ont su trouver une oreille attentive auprès de décideurs politiques appartenant aux différentes familles de la droite. Dans les années 1960, leurs demandes visaient à abaisser le coût de construction des églises. Au cœur des années 1970, l’enjeu était l’intégration à moindres frais des prêtres, religieux et religieuses à la Sécurité sociale. Une décennie plus tard, il s’agissait de relancer le denier du culte en autorisant sa déductibilité fiscale. Chemin faisant, le rapprochement de l’État et des religions organisé par la loi Debré (1959) sur le terrain scolaire a été complété sur le plan cultuel par une série de dispositifs qui restent d’actualité.

    Pursuing Livelihoods, Imagining Development (2023)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-10-05
    Description: This monograph explores the ways in which people experience ‘development’ and how development shapes and maintains their lives. The discussion begins with Lampung Province, moves to one of the province’s highland regions, and ends in a village in this highland region. Colonial and post-colonial initiatives drove the transformation of Lampung in the twentieth century bringing mixed results and effects including rapid growth in agricultural production, the formation of ‘wealthy zones’ in some areas, and the creation of pockets of poverty in other areas. In Sumber Jaya and the highlands of Way Tenong, migrants have transformed one of Lampung’s last frontier regions into one of its ‘wealthy zones’. Although the bulk of these migrants migrated spontaneously, they were integrated within the framework of planned development. The level of progress that the region has achieved is largely the result of villagers’ efforts to bring state resources to the village. In conflict with forestry authorities for decades, farmers in some villages have agreed to establish a new relationship with authorities, but the struggle for control over land resources continues.

    Description: Revisiter la notion d’année terrible telle qu’elle avait été forgée par Victor Hugo pour désigner la séquence allant de la déclaration de guerre de juillet 1870 à la fin de la semaine sanglante en mai 1871, tel est l’enjeu de cet ouvrage collectif. Fondé sur une approche transpériodique et transdisciplinaire, il invite à une réflexion sur les processus de désignation et les usages de ce chrononyme d’année terrible. Cinq séquences d’entrée en guerre ont été retenues afin de les comparer. Comment les historiens questionnent-ils cette notion polysémique ? Interrogeant les paradigmes de ces moments de basculement dans une autre temporalité, ils en définissent l’échelle la plus pertinente pour capter la perception des contemporains face à cette expérience traumatisante qui bouleverse les repères. Pour cela, ils analysent les traces scripturales, visuelles, matérielles produites par les contemporains, figures en vue comme anonymes. Mais cet ouvrage propose aussi une réflexion sur les processus de construction mémorielle de ces années terribles, en termes de filiations comme de décalages, avec l’objectif de leur instrumentalisation politique.

    Publication Date: 2021-12-24
    Description: Making the Englishmen: Debates on National Identity 1550-1650 asks how Englishmen defined themselves at a time of profound change and uncertainty. It will seek to contextualise the ways in which Englishness came to be construed as free, plain and unCatholic, and situate this construction as part of a larger attempt to create a narrative which would distinguish them from the rest of Europe. But all such attempts were fraught with anxiety and contestation. The normative ideals of Englishness were constantly being undermined, affronted and ignored. In the disarray characteristic of the post-Reformation era, there were constant fears that the Englishman was becoming both slavish and treacherous in political, cultural and religious ways. Englishness was under threat.

    An Overview of the Pre-suppression Society of Jesus in Spain  (2021)
    Brill | BRILL
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: In An Overview of the Pre-suppression Society of Jesus in Spain, Patricia W. Manning offers a survey of the Society of Jesus in Spain from its origins in Ignatius of Loyola’s early preaching to the aftereffects of its expulsion. Rather than nurture the nascent order, Loyola’s homeland was often ambivalent. His pre-Jesuit freelance sermonizing prompted investigations. The young Society confronted indifference and interference from the Spanish monarchy and outright opposition from other religious orders. This essay outlines the order’s ministerial and pedagogical activities, its relationship with women and with royal institutions, including the Spanish Inquisition, and Spanish members’ roles in theological debates concerning casuistry, free will, and the immaculate conception. It also considers the impact of Jesuits’ non-religious writings. Readership: Readers interested in the Society of Jesus, textual production by Jesuits, the Society’s ties to women, early modern theological polemics, and early modern Spain, including undergraduate and graduate students.

    Securing Village Life (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Securing Village Life: Development in Late Colonial Papua New Guinea examines the significance for post-World War II Australian colonial policy of the modern idea of development. Australian officials emphasised the importance of bringing development for both the colony of Papua and the United Nations Trust Territory of New Guinea. The principal form that development took involved securing smallholders against the tendencies of other forms of capitalist development that might have separated households from land. In order to make household occupation of their holdings more secure and at higher standards of living, the colonial administration coordinated and supervised increases in production of crops and other agricultural produce. Contrary to suggestions that colonial policy and practice ignored indigenous agriculture and concentrated on plantation crops grown by international firms and expatriate owner-occupiers, the study shows how the main focus was instead upon increasing smallholder output for immediate consumption as well as for local and international markets. Simultaneously development stimulated increases in consumption, including of goods produced through manufacturing processes and imported into the colony. Only as Independence approached was the pre-eminence of the earlier focus upon smallholders weakened. In part the change occurred due to the political advance of the indigenous capitalist class and their allies seeking to extend their base in largeholding agriculture and related commercial activities. This advance and the uncertainty over which form of development would prevail once indigenes held state power in post-colonial Papua New Guinea stood in marked contrast to the definite direction pursued under the colonial administration of the 1950s and early 1960s.

Each has a story to tell, with insights that can only be drawn by those working at the 'sharp end' of policy.

    Boats to Burn (2023)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: Under a Memorandum of Understanding between Indonesia and Australia, traditional Indonesian fishermen are permitted access to fish in a designated area inside the 200 nautical mile Australian Fishing Zone (AFZ). However, crew and vessels are regularly apprehended for illegal fishing activity outside the permitted areas and, after prosecution in Australian courts, their boats and equipment are destroyed and the fishermen repatriated to Indonesia. This is an ethnographic study of one group of Indonesian maritime people who operate in the AFZ. It concerns Bajo people who originate from villages in the Tukang Besi Islands, Southeast Sulawesi. It explores the social, cultural, economic and historic conditions which underpin Bajo sailing and fishing voyages in the AFZ. It also examines issues concerning Australian maritime expansion and Australian government policies, treatment and understanding of Bajo fishing. The study considers the concept of “traditional” fishing regulating access to the MOU area based on use of unchanging technology, and consequences arising from adherence to such a view of “traditional”; the effect of Australian maritime expansion on Bajo fishing activity; the effectiveness of policy in providing for fishing rights and stopping illegal activity, and why Bajo continue to fish in the AFZ despite a range of ongoing restrictions on their activity.

    Experts et expertises en diplomatie (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Depuis le xviie siècle, le champ de la diplomatie s’est considérablement élargi à mesure des évolutions des relations internationales et des mondialisations successives. Les ambassades, les congrès diplomatiques, les grandes conférences et les organisations internationales mobilisent des spécialistes de plus en plus nombreux, montrant ainsi que la diplomatie n’est pas une activité déconnectée de son environnement mais qu’elle draine les compétences de la société de son temps. En rassemblant 18 contributions d’historiens, cet ouvrage interroge sur le long terme, en jouant sur les perspectives et les jeux d’échelles, les relations tantôt complémentaires, tantôt conflictuelles, qui unissent le diplomate et l’expert. Pourquoi recourt-on à l’expertise ? Vient-elle en appui à la décision ou acquiert-elle une certaine autonomie ? L’expert parvient-il à s’affirmer comme un acteur à part entière de la diplomatie ? En décentrant le regard traditionnellement porté sur les négociations pour en dévoiler les prémisses et les périphéries, cette étude s’inscrit dans la dynamique d’une histoire renouvelée de la diplomatie qui entend s’intéresser à l’ensemble des acteurs publics et privés participant au processus décisionnel.

    The Legacy of Birgitta of Sweden (2024)
    Brill
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Saint Birgitta of Sweden (d. 1373), one of the most famous visionary women of the late Middle Ages, lived in Rome for the last 23 years of her life. Much of her extensive literary work was penned there. Her Celestial Revelations circulated widely from the late 14th century to the 17th century, copied in Italian scriptoria, translated into vernacular, and printed in several Latin and Italian editions. In the same centuries, an extraordinary number of women writers across the peninsula were publishing their work. What echoes might we find of the foreign widow’s prophetic voice in their texts? This volume offers innovative investigations, written by an interdisciplinary group of experts, of the profound impact of Birgitta of Sweden in Renaissance Italy. Contributors include: Brian Richardson, Jane Tylus, Isabella Gagliardi, Clara Stella, Marco Faini, Jessica Goethals, Anna Wainwright, Eleonora Cappuccilli, Eleonora Carinci, Virginia Cox, Unn Falkeid, and Silvia Nocentini.

    Les ministres de la Guerre, 1792-1870 (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: « Ma seule politique, la voici : c’est d’être toujours prêt… Quant à me mêler de la paix ou de la guerre, cela ne me regarde pas. Si la guerre arrive, je dois être prêt ; tel est mon devoir et je le remplirai », claironnait Edmond Le Boeuf, ministre de la Guerre au printemps 1870 ! Personnages clés des gouvernements, les ministres avaient pour fonction de veiller au bien-être des armées, d’organiser le recrutement, d’adopter des mesures pour armer les hommes, les nourrir, les loger, leur verser une solde et, le cas échéant, participer aux combats. Présenté dans l’ordre chronologique, cet ouvrage retrace la biographie des cinquante ministres qui se succédèrent entre le 10 août 1792 – date du renversement de la monarchie – et le 4 septembre 1870, qui vit la proclamation de la République. Dépassant le seul cadre biographique, ce dictionnaire embrasse les problématiques de la gestion de la guerre, de la protection du pays, de la préparation de la nation à l’engagement. Il révèle la complexité des enjeux, la variété des situations, le rôle des hommes, la nature des décisions, heureuses ou funestes, qui présidèrent à la construction d’un outil militaire en France.

    Paris, ville de cour (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Les historiens s’intéressant rarement au cadre urbain des séjours de la cour, ce livre vise à réconcilier l’histoire de la cour avec l’histoire urbaine en général, et avec Paris en particulier. Il s’agit alors moins de saisir la ville dans sa dimension de capitale, que dans sa fonction de « ville de résidence », pour isoler le facteur curial de l’équation urbaine. Parce qu’il y a une vraie difficulté à penser le rapport entre Paris et la cour – au Moyen Âge parce qu’elle est itinérante, à l’époque moderne à cause de Versailles – le livre explore les liens entre la ville et la cour sur le temps long, du xiiie au xviiie siècle, par petites touches, en six parties rassemblant des contributions d’historiens, d’historiens de l’art et de littéraires, dans un esprit comparatiste (époque médiévale/époque moderne, Paris/Londres-Madrid-Lisbonne). Il s’agit d’un véritable livre collectif qui explore le problème de la présence physique du roi et de ses gens dans la ville, mais aussi celui des effets socioéconomiques et politiques de la consommation curiale, des représentations que les citadins et curiaux se font les uns des autres, et enfin celle de l’investissement symbolique des gens de cour dans Paris.

    Directions in Australian Electoral Reform (2023)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Australia has a proud history of being an international leader in electoral administration, and Australian electoral commissions continue to have a professional, non-partisan approach to the management of elections. Yet their independence is constrained by the electoral laws they need to administer, and parliamentary committees charged with the oversight of the conduct of elections do so with a clear partisan bias. Elections are all about winners, but who decides who the winners will be? Voters definitely have a big say, but it is the electoral system that determines how votes translate into seats in parliament. Any changes to the electoral system require the support of those in power, and it is important to question who benefits from electoral reforms. It is not surprising that partisanship plays a role and that governing parties usually benefit, although that is not always the case. This book assesses Australian electoral reforms of the past 30 years using personal interview data and parliamentary debates, to provide a picture of the reform process as well as the outcomes. These issues, such as who gets to vote, the use of postal voting, party registration and vote weighting, have a profound impact on who wins elections. The book also examines Australia's electoral administration, testing for professionalism, independence and integrity.

    Finistère du Front populaire (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Cet ouvrage se propose d’analyser l’impact du Front populaire sur le Finistère, département rural fortement marqué par la question religieuse. Évitant une approche surplombante, le cadre choisi permet d’appréhender au plus près les fractures de la société finistérienne, entre villes et campagnes, entre blancs et bleus, entre dominants et dominés. La pénétration des idées sociales est faible dans les campagnes. Un puissant syndicalisme agricole s’y développe en s’arrogeant le rôle d’un contre-État. En face, la société urbaine vit ses propres antagonismes. L’Église catholique, présente dans les deux mondes, tente de conforter son emprise sur l’ensemble de la société et se retrouve de fait en concurrence avec les élites agrariennes. L’arrivée des gauches au pouvoir radicalise les positions. L’irruption d’une séquence gréviste inédite oblige les uns et les autres à s’adapter. Les forces adverses mettent en place des stratégies mimétiques qui cherchent à accompagner plutôt qu’à affronter le réveil ouvrier. Les changements d’échelle permettent d’étudier tous les moyens utilisés, du consentement jusqu’à la coercition. Loin d’une histoire fractale, nous avons privilégié une histoire mosaïque. Pour autant, le Finistère du Front populaire, avec ses particularités, s’inscrit dans le cadre national. Cet ouvrage est une contribution à l’histoire de cet événement majeur dans un département catholique et rural.

    Shaping Medieval Markets (2021)
    Brill | Brill
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: The late Middle Ages witnessed the transformation of the county of Holland from a peripheral agrarian region to a highly commercialised and urbanised one. This book examines how the organisation of commodity markets contributed to this remarkable development. Comparing Holland to England and Flanders, the book shows that Holland’s specific history of reclamation and settlement had given rise to a favourable balance of powers between state, nobility, towns and rural communities that reduced opportunities for rent-seeking and favoured the rise of efficient markets. This allowed burghers, peasants and fishermen to take full advantage of new opportunities presented by changing economic and ecological circumstances in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries.
