Two Mediterranean Worlds
Globalization includes complex processes, easy to identify but difficult to explain. Why, for instance, are globalizing processes so unevenly distributed between poor and wealthy countries? What effect does this uneven distribution have on the everyday lives of ordinary people? The contributors to this volume find answers to these questions in the Mediterranean, a region divided between the people of the north shore, who are engaged with Europe and modernized, and their poorer neighbours to the south, who struggle daily to atain the same standards of living and modes of governance as their more Westernized neighbours. In these two regions’ divergent histories, economies, cultural and linguistic backgrounds, education systems, and political structures lead to explanations not only for uneven globalization but also for the wave of demonstrations for political and cultural autonomy that sparked the Arab Spring in North Africa and the Near East.
Financing Africa
Financing Africa takes stock of Africa's financial systems in light of recent changes in the global financial system --including the greater risk aversion of international investors, a shift in economic and financial powers towards emerging markets and the regulatory reform debate - and the increasing role of technology. Using a wider and more detailed array of data than previous publications, we observe a trend towards financial deepening, more stability and more inclusion leading up to the crisis; serious challenges, however, continue, including limited access to financial services, focus on short-term contracts and hidden fragility, related to weak regulatory frameworks, undue government ...
International Institutions of the Middle East
This book aims to be the key introductory volume for understanding the regional IOs of the Middle East. It assesses the reasons why IOs in the Middle East are so ill developed, explores their history, evolution and the successes and failures of each IO. It also analyses the reasons for the specific difficulties faced by each organisation through the context of intra-regional relations, before examining the impact of external factors such as: globalisation, moves towards global governance which have impacts in the Middle East and external influences from the great powers. Finally, it explores the likely impact of the Arab Spring upon the prospects for the further development of these regional International Organisations

Central and Southeastern Europe in Transition
It is increasingly important to understand the complexity of central and southeastern Europe following the enlargement of NATO into Central Europe, the ongoing problems of the Balkans, and the subsequent focus of global attention on the entire region. Gardner brings together exceptional French and Eastern European scholars who present first-hand accounts of their experience and knowledge of the region. Each provides differing political, social, cultural, and economic perspectives on Central and Southeastern Europe. The volume begins with a general discussion of the place of central and southeastern Europe in the greater scheme of European history. This is followed by an examination of the we...
Deux méditerranées
En prenant la Méditerranée du Sud comme référence privilégiée pour une étude sur la mondialisation et l'autonomie, nous nous retrouvons face à des États qui ont connu la modernisation, mais pas la modernité : absence de société civile, attachement aux intérêts nationaux, permanence de l'idée de souveraineté et de frontières, survivance de gouvernement détenant le monopole de la violence rendue légitime. Ces pays se trouvent aujourd'hui tiraillés entre la recherche d'une plus grande autonomie, surtout culturelle, l'établissement d'une stratégie d'ancrage à une Europe de plus en plus frileuse et les effets dissolvants de la mondialisation. Il existe donc bien une problématique méditerranéenne opposant le Nord et le Sud par rapport à la mondialisation et à l'autonomie et c'est tout l'intérêt de cette contribution pluridisciplinaire. De nombreux spécialistes représentant divers pays méditerranéens et différents domaines du savoir livrent leur analyse sur la question : économie, histoire, littérature, science politique, musicologie, anthropologie alimentaire, islamologie et psychanalyse.
