The Companion to Raymond Aron
This edited collection brings to light the rare virtues and uncommon merits of Raymond Aron, the main figure of French twentieth-century liberalism. The Companion to Raymond Aron is an essential supplement to Aron's autobiography Mémoires (1984) and main works, exploring the substance of his political, sociological, and philosophical thought.
Business Ethics
"Morten: And what are we going to do, when you have made liberal-minded and high-minded men of us? Dr. Stockman: Then you shall drive all the wolves out of the country, my boys!" (Ibsen, An Enemy of the People, Act V) The theoretical and empirical research of this book describes how the traditional safeguards of the rights of minority shareholders have failed in their duty and how those shareholders have remained practically without any protection against the arbitrariness of the companies and majority shareholders. The law, the SEC, society, boards of directors, independent directors, auditors, analysts, underwriters and the press have remained in many cases worthless panaceas. Nevertheless...
Activist Business Ethics
Jacques Cory's second book Activist Business Ethics expands upon the theoretical concepts developed in his first book Business Ethics: The Ethical Revolution of Minority Shareholders published by Kluwer Academic Publishers in March 2001. Activist business ethics is needed in order to remedy the wrongdoing committed to stakeholders and minority shareholders. This will be achieved by cooperation between ethical businessmen, activist academics, stakeholders and minority shareholders. We should treat others as we would want others to treat us, not through interest, but by conviction. Yet this principle is not the guideline of many companies in the modern business world, despite the fact that mos...
Identity Papers
What does citizenship mean? What is the process of "naturalization" one goes through in becoming a citizen, and what is its connection to assimilation? How do the issues of identity raised by this process manifest themselves in culture? These questions, and the way they arise in contemporary France, are the focus of this diverse collection. The essays in this volume range in subject from fiction and essay to architecture and film. Among the topics discussed are the 1937 Exposition Universelle; films dealing with Vichy France; François Truffaut's Histoire d'Adèle H.; the war of Algerian independence; and nation building under François Mitterrand. -- Amazon.com.
Le grand tsar blanc
Après ##Les hommes du tsar## (1989) et ##Les faux tsars## (1992), voici le troisième volet de cette trilogie qui raconte, sous forme romancée, l'histoire russe de 1580 à 1613.
Les faux tsars
Un épisode (au tout début du 17e siècle) de l'histoire de Russie. Boris Govdounov a voulu faire assassiner le tsaréitch mais a raté son coup. Ce dernier va en effet lui succéder mais pas pour longtemps. Note de l'auteur.
Les reines de France
La reine des biographes. Un grand récit qui offre une histoire inégalée du grand et tragique XVI e siècle. En six volumes d'exceptions, publiés entre 1994 et 2002 aux éditions de Fallois, Simone Bertière a raconté l'histoire des reines, célèbres ou oubliées, qui ont fait la France de la Renaissance à la fin de la monarchie. Voici l'édition définitive – en un beau et fort volume - des deux premiers consacrés au XVIe siècle qui ont vu s'épanouir comme jamais le pouvoir des femmes avant que les tragédies des guerres de religion n'engagent une éclipse accentuée par l'application de plus en plus rigide de la loi salique. Sous la plume élégante et inspirée de l'auteur entr...
Maestri of Political Science
This book continues the editors' work (started in the volume “Masters of Political Science”) of highlighting and re-evaluating the contributions of the most important political scientists who have gone before. Its basis is the belief that the future development and sophistication of the discipline will benefit from a critical understanding of the works of early political “giants” whose contributions are presented and analysed: Gabriel A. Almond, Raymond Aron, Philip Converse, Maurice Duverger, Stanley Hoffmann, Paul Lazarsfeld, Arend Lijphart, Elinor Ostrom, William H. Riker, Stein Rokkan and Susan Strange. The editors review and consider the contributions of these maestri to the study of contemporary democracy, political culture, electoral systems, political communication, the transformation of capitalism and state formation in Europe. Maestri of Political Science is aimed not only at a new generation of political scientists but is a valuable opportunity for established scholars to see new light through old windows.
A Divided Republic
A bold interpretation of contemporary French political culture that uses current political debates to understand how the French engage with politics.
