Savoir pour pouvoir. Sortir de l'impuissance démocratique
C’est de l’intérieur que François Cornut-Gentille, député de la Haute-Marne depuis plus de vingt ans, a vécu ce qu’il appelle "la mystérieuse disparition de la force de gouverner". Il dresse un tableau saisissant de cette impuissance croissante des gouvernements successifs à répondre aux problèmes du pays. La raison fondamentale en est l’impossibilité de s’appuyer sur des diagnostics pertinents et approfondis, montre-t-il. Qu’il s’agisse de l’état réel du système éducatif ou du système sanitaire, de la situation des prisons, des réalités de l’immigration, l’État est aveugle. Il multiplie les gesticulations sous forme de lois d’annonce sans prise sur le...
Rapport d'information relatif au transport stratégique
Le transport stratégique est une mission mal connue. L’opinion, comme les professionnels ou les parlementaires ont davantage les yeux tournés vers des sujets plus visibles ou plus prestigieux : le porte-avions, les sous-marins, l’aviation de chasse ou l’opération Sentinelle. Y porter attention est cependant nécessaire parce qu’il concentre des enjeux cruciaux et qu’il offre un éclairage mettant en valeur la double réalité de notre outil de défense. La France a prouvé au cours des dix dernières années qu’elle était capable d’intervenir sur des théâtres parfois très lointains. Mais ces interventions n’ont en effet été rendues possibles que par les capacités ru...
Gouvernez !
Pourquoi Hollande répète-t-il les erreurs de Sarkozy qui lui-même répétait celles de Chirac ? Pourquoi les uns et les autres, après avoir annoncé la rupture, se contentent-ils d'inaugurer les chrysanthèmes ? Pourquoi sont-ils tous de plus en plus ennuyeux ? Pourquoi la moralisation de la vie politique ampli fie-t-elle paradoxalement le rejet de la politique ? Pourquoi le Front national est-il le parti frère de l'UMP et du PS ? Pourquoi n'y-a-t-il plus de projet politique ni à gauche, ni à droite ? Enfin, pourquoi si rien ne change, l'élection présidentielle de 2017 sera, quel que soit le vainqueur, la répétition - en pire - des précédents échecs ? A rebours de la démagogie ambiante, François Cornut-Gentille dénonce la mise à mort de la politique et de l'Etat par des élus, otages d'intérêts particuliers. De cette analyse non partisane émerge une méthode pour rebâtir une action publique efficace, le nouvel exercice du pouvoir, et un impératif à destination des élus qui tient en un mot : gouvernez !
The Transformation of the Armed Forces
Information technology (IT) has had, and will continue to have, a deep impact on the defence sector. The most advanced countries, not only the U.S. but also France, Great Britain and Italy, over the past few years have undergone a transormation of their armed forces aimed at exploiting the strategic advantages of IT. The goal pursued in Europe, and also promoted by NATO, is Network Enabled Capability (NEC). That is combining equipment and soldiers, as well as different doctrinal, procedural, technical and organizational elements, into a single network to obtain their interaction in order to achieve substantial strategic superiority. In practice, this also occurs with a strong, efficient and ...
Women's Rights and Women's Lives in France 1944-1968
Women's Rights and Women's Lives In France 1944-1968 explores key aspects of the everyday lives of women between the Liberation of France and the events of May '68. At the end of the war, French women believed that a new era was beginning and that equality had been won. The redefined postwar public sphere required women's participation for the new democracy, and women's labour power for reconstruction, but equally important was the belief in women's role as mothers. Over the next two decades, the tensions between competing visions of women's `proper place' dominated discourses of womanhood as well as policy decisions, and had concrete implications for women's lives. Working from a wide range of sources, including women's magazines, prescriptive literature, documentation from political parties, government reports, parliamentary debates and personal memoirs, Claire Duchen follows the debates concerning womanhood, women's rights and women's lives through the 1944-1968 period and grounds them in the changing reality of postwar France.
Rivals in Arms
As the UK leaves the European Union and as the multilateral order is increasingly under stress, bilateral security links are more important than ever. Among such relationships, the UK-France partnership has become particularly critical in the past decades. Alice Pannier's Rivals in Arms reveals the history of the growing special partnership between Europe's two leading military powers in the twenty-first century. Using an innovative analytical framework rooted in theories of cooperation and negotiation, this book exposes the challenges the two countries have faced to develop, equip, and employ their military capabilities together. Through a decade-long study, Pannier highlights how France and the UK have endeavoured to make their partnership more effective and resistant to domestic and international shifts, including Brexit. Building on more than one hundred interviews with key stakeholders and unmatched access to primary sources, Rivals in Arms takes the reader behind the scenes, investigating the complicated but crucial defence relationship between France and the UK - a relationship that is critical to the future of Euro-Atlantic security.
Esprit - Patrimoines contestés
La contestation du patrimoine colonial et esclavagiste, qui s’est manifestée par une série de déboulonnages de statue suite à l’assassinat de George Floyd en mai 2020, relève de la vexation des symboles. Le dossier, coordonné par l’historienne de l’art Anne Lafont, propose de l’appréhender comme un mode non professionnel d’animation du patrimoine, qui participe ainsi à ce partage sensible qu’on appelle l’histoire. À lire aussi dans ce numéro : l’histoire, oubli de l’inconscient ?, le prix de l’ordre, pour une histoire européenne, les femmes dans l’Église, les réfugiés d’Ukraine et nos mélancolies secrètes.
Gender Quotas, Parity Reform, and Political Parties in France
France is notorious for the underrepresentation of women in its halls of politics. Having been unsuccessful at implementing quotas for female candidates--unlike several of their European neighbors--France passed a gender parity law in 2000 that required all political parties to field an equal number of male and female candidates. Yet in the 2002 elections the main political parties fell well short of nominating equal numbers of male and female candidates. How did parity replace gender quotas as the preferred way to achieve greater representation for women in elected office? Why have these gender-based measures been embraced by some parties and not others? And, why do parties sometimes fail to implement quotas and parity? Gender Quotas, Parity Reform, and Political Parties in France considers this transition from quotas to parity, providing a history of French women's rights and the French electoral process, as well as an examination of the roles of the Socialist and Gaullist political parties. Compelling and clearly written, Opello has created a work that bridges an existing gap in literature about contemporary France and will appeal to scholars of gender, politics, and France.
