Political Corruption in a World in Transition
This book argues that the mainstream definitions of corruption, and the key expectations they embed concerning the relationship between corruption, democracy, and the process of democratization, require reexamination. Even critics who did not consider stable institutions and legal clarity of veteran democracies as a cure-all, assumed that the process of widening the influence on government decision making and implementation allows non-elites to defend their interests, define the acceptable sources and uses of wealth, and demand government accountability. This had proved correct, especially insofar as ‘petty corruption’ is involved. But the assumption that corruption necessarily involves ...

Populism and Corruption
This timely book offers an in-depth analysis of the intersection between populism and corruption, addressing phenomena that have been, so far, largely treated separately. Bringing together two dynamic and well-established fields of study, it proposes a theoretical framework for the study of populism and corruption in order to update our understanding of specific forms of each in a variety of socio-political settings.
L'argent de la politique
La politique, c’est aussi de l’argent. En France, le sujet est tabou. Malgré les réglementations mises en place depuis la fin des années 1980, l’opacité règne en la matière et les scandales s’enchaînent : détournement de fonds publics, fortunes privées au service des fortunes électorales, mécomptes partisans et usages de fausses factures, évasion fiscale et patrimoniale des élites publiques, etc. Pour lever un pan de voile sur le financement de la vie politique, l’auteur adopte un angle original, celui des conditions dans lesquelles les nouvelles réglementations ont été forgées : qui les a portées, dans quels contextes ont-elles été adoptées, quelles résistances ont-elles dû surmonter, comment ont-elles été instrumentalisées et avec quels effets ? Conçu par et pour des élus passés experts dans l’art de contourner les normes qu’ils édictent, focalisé sur la recherche de transparence plutôt que sur l’évaluation des besoins, le modèle français demeure très flou, peu contraignant, source de contentieux et d’exploitation politique.
The Oxford Handbook of Electoral Persuasion
"Electoral persuasion is central to democratic politics. It includes strategic communication not only by candidates and parties but also by interest groups, media, and citizens. This volume surveys the vast literature on this topic, emphasizing contemporary research and topics and complementing deep coverage of U.S. politics with international perspectives"--
From Deliberation to Demonstration
This book reveals the transformation of political rallies in France from the last years of the Second Empire until the end of the Third Republic. Originally designed by Republicans as a tool of citizenship learning and formation of political opinion through open debate, rallies gradually became a stage dedicated to the show of force, at the initiative of various emerging political formations. This distortion is marked by the turn of the twentieth century, but is observed even more in the rallies held between the two world wars. Faced with this transformation, the government does not hesitate, in the second half of the 1930s, to invalidate the liberal credo that based the right of assembly since the installation of the Republic. This book, at the crossroads of history and political science, is an important contribution to our understanding of political life of that period. An essential form of collective political participation, the rallies had never been the subject of major research. The author also contributes to the reflection, more relevant than ever, on the status of public debate in representative regimes. Participatory democracy has a history that this book helps to trace.
