Language, Culture, and Hegemony in Modern France
In this panoramic study, Freeman Henry chronicles the rise to prominence of French language and culture. He meticulously analyzes the protracted government-sponsored efforts to foster and maintain that status and--ultimately--the latter-day challenges to France's national linguistic identity posed by Anglocentric globalization and a multicentric European Union. The internal history of the language is closely intertwined with its external history: phonology, morphology, lexicography, and orthography come alive against a backdrop of political, cultural, and institutional manifestations. A felicitous blend of documentary evidence and critical analysis serves to elucidate crucial stages, events,...

General Reports of the XIXth Congress of the International Academy of Comparative Law Rapports Généraux du XIXème Congrès de l'Académie Internationale de Droit Comparé
This book deals with convergences of legal doctrine despite jurisdictional, cultural, and political barriers, and of divergences due to such barriers, examining topics that are of vital importance to contemporary legal scholars. Written by leading scholars from more than twenty countries, its thirty-two chapters present a comparative analysis of cutting-edge legal topics of the 21st century. While each of the countries covered stands alone as a sovereign state, in a technologically advanced world their disparate systems nonetheless show comparable strategies in dealing with complex legal issues. The book is a critical addition to the library of any scholar hoping to keep abreast of the major trends in contemporary law. It covers a vast area of topics that are dealt with from a comparative point of view and represents the current state of law in each area.

Les Fondements bibliques de la démocratie
"L'objet de cet ouvrage est de montrer que le lien entre les Écritures saintes et le régime démocratique est indissoluble. Il s'agit de mener une réflexion de fond sur la démocratie ou, plus généralement, de poser les bases d'une théorie théologico-politique de la démocratie et, donc, de découvrir la véritable quintessence de ce régime politique : c'est-à-dire de passer d'une démocratie de façade desséchée par ses hypocrisies, ses influences occultes et surtout par son absence de sève biblique, à une démocratie intégralement humaine, spirituelle car "Dieu est la source ultime de tous les principes d'autorité et de bon gouvernement". En d'autres termes, contrairement à...
