Assessing Maritime Disputes in East Asia
Combining practical and theoretical approaches, this book addresses the political, legal and economic implications of maritime disputes in East Asia. The maritime disputes in East Asia have multiplied over the past few years, in parallel with the economic growth of the countries in the region, the rise of nationalist movements, fears and sometimes fantasies regarding the emergence of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as a global power, increasing military expenses, as well as speculations regarding the potential resources in various disputed islands. These disputes, however, are not new and some have been the subject of contention and the cause of friction for decades, if not centuries ...
Regionalization of the World
On the world map, macro-regions or global regions have gradually emerged, with varying degrees of success and following different trajectories. The authors of this book attempt to determine whether, within the context of globalization, these macro-regions have become an additional level in the spatial deployment of numerous actors, and whether they have come to stand between the national and global levels. This question has arisen because the increasing scales of trade, environmental problems, migration routes, energy distribution, the construction of major infrastructures etc. transcend national boundaries and are leading states to implement macro-regional cooperation. The authors ask whether these large regional groupings are becoming genuine territories and are the fruit of in-depth regional integration – economic, institutional, legal, normative, political, cultural and in terms of identity. If so, these global regions would therefore become referents that make sense and take root in social representations.
Au sein de la Maison-Blanche. De Truman à Obama : la formulation (imprévisible) de la politique étrangère des États-Unis. 3e édition entièrement revue et augmentée
Ce livre propose une analyse approfondie du système décisionnel du gouvernement des États-Unis pour expliquer les choix propres à chacune des présidences en matière de politique étrangère depuis 1945. Le lecteur y trouvera une étude du rôle qu’ont joué les présidents, les membres du Cabinet, leurs collaborateurs et les conseillers pour la sécurité nationale, mais aussi les bureaucraties, dans le processus décisionnel. Au cœur de ce dispositif, les aspects institutionnels et politiques de l’évolution de l’organisme décisionnel de la plus haute instance en politique étrangère, le Conseil de sécurité nationale (NSC), sont analysés systématiquement, pour chacune des présidences, étayés par de nombreux exemples tirés de 70 ans d’histoire de la politique extérieure américaine. À travers ce cadre d’analyse, c’est une nouvelle conception théorique et historique que nous proposons au lecteur, qui sera ainsi en mesure de mieux discerner le sens réel des décisions prises par les présidents américains sur la scène internationale.
G.I. contre jihad
La confrontation entre George W. Bush et Oussama ben Laden s'est terminée sur un prévisible match nul. L'auteur expose les raisons de cet échec mutuel en démontrant que les stratégies des deux combattants ne pouvaient qu'exacerber les tensions.

Chinese Outbound Tourism
China's international tourism industry is gradually rising from the ashes after three years of travel restrictions imposed in response to China's "zero Covid" policy. This gradual recovery has prompted three geographers, specialized in understanding these trends, to pool their research and present an overview of the current state of Chinese international outbound tourism. Drawing on their extensive field experience in Wuhan, Phuket, Paris and Nice, these three researchers have combined their complementary and original approaches to explore the underlying mechanisms of the flow of Chinese tourists, from their origins to the most popular destinations. Chinese Outbound Tourism highlights the particularities of the Chinese tourism system, as well as the complex dynamics at work behind the 170 million international trips made before the pandemic by nationals of this "socialist country with Chinese characteristics".
