Dictionnaire des politiques publiques
"Mettre à disposition des lecteurs un savoir clair et directement mobilisable, telle est l’ambition de ce dictionnaire. Des concepts fondamentaux abordés avec pédagogie : chaque notice propose une définition détaillée, des exemples concrets, et des références bibliographiques, un index thématique et une bibliographie générale complétant l’ensemble. Un parti pris d’ouverture intellectuelle et internationale : véritable état des lieux de l’analyse des politiques publiques, le dictionnaire tire sa richesse du choix des contributeurs et de la place accordée aux travaux de recherche français et internationaux les plus récents. Saisissant l’évolution d’une discipline en plein essor, il propose également un dialogue entre courants d’analyse et entre disciplines. Comprenant près de quatre-vingts entrées, cette 4e édition se présente comme la boîte à outils pour comprendre, analyser et débattre de l’action publique."
Facing Terrorism in France
From 2015, Europe was hit by a new wave of terrorist attacks, coordinated or supported by an international Islamist organization (ISIS) but sometimes also perpetrated by citizens of the targeted country: the attacks on Paris, Brussels, London, Manchester, Nice and Barcelona probably attracted most attention but the most dramatic were perpetrated in Paris, in January and November 2015. These events shook the foundations of French society not only because of their magnitude but also because of the symbolic nature of the targets. Whilst in January, the targets were carefully selected as emblematic of France (the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, the police forces, the Jewish community) and of European liberal values (journalists and cartoonists), in November the victims ordinary people enjoying music, sports and restaurants. The book offers a unique interdisciplinary investigation into the complex responses of French society: from the individual level (survivors of the Bataclan attack, emotional citizens paying homage to the victims, French Muslims) to the meso level of civic association and web communities, and the macro level of the State and public opinion.
Policy Analysis in France
Understanding policy analysis in France requires first a thorough exploration of the distinction usually made in French academic and practitioner debates between policy studies and policy analysis--essentially the difference between studies of policy and studies designed for the use of policy. This book begins there, then delves into questions of how and by whom knowledge of policies is produced within and outside the French state, showing that while the tension between the two types of study is real, the continued exchange of ideas between them has led to an enrichment of both spheres. The book thus lays the foundation for a more systematic understanding of policy analysis in France.
Cities as Political Objects
Focusing on the city’s role as the nexus for new forms of relationships between politics, economics and society, this fascinating book views the city as a political phenomena. Its chapters unravel the city’s plural histories, contested political, legal and administrative boundaries, and its policy-making capacity in the context of multi-level and market pressures.
Comparative Public Policy in Latin America
This pioneering collection offers a comprehensive investigation into how to study public policy in Latin America. While this region exhibits many similarities with the North American and European countries that have traditionally served as sources for generating public policy knowledge, Latin American countries are also different in many fundamental ways. As such, existing policy concepts and frameworks may not always be the most effective tools of analysis for this unique region. To fill this gap, Comparative Public Policy in Latin America offers guidelines for refining current theories to suit Latin America’s contemporary institutional and socio-economic realities. The contributors accomplish this task by identifying the features of the region that shape public policy, including informal norms and practices, social inequality, and weak institutions. This book promises to become the definitive work on contemporary public policy in Latin America, essential for those who study the area as well as comparative public policy more broadly.
Dictionnaire des politiques publiques
Les politiques publiques interviennent dans tous les domaines de la vie quotidienne des citoyen·ne·s et agissent sur l’ensemble de la société. Ce dictionnaire ne se contente pas de définir des notions telles que « fenêtre d’opportunité », « gouvernance », « dépendance au chemin emprunté » ou encore « policy feedback ». Il montre comment les grands concepts de ce champ d’étude se sont forgés, puis modifiés et enrichis pour prendre en compte les nouveaux acteurs et instruments à l’œuvre. En faisant dialoguer les courants, en s’ouvrant aux autres disciplines et en accordant une large place aux recherches francophones et internationales les plus actuelles, il offre les outils intellectuels indispensables pour comprendre les transformations contemporaines de l’action publique.
The Political Science of the Middle East
A definitive overview of what political scientists are working on within the Middle East and North Africa. The Arab Uprisings of 2011-12 catalyzed a new wave of rigorous, deeply informed research on the politics of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). In The Political Science of the Middle East, Marc Lynch, Jillian Schwedler, and Sean Yom present the definitive overview of this pathbreaking turn. This is a monumental stocktaking organized around a singular theme: new theorizing from the MENA has advanced the frontiers of comparative politics and international relations, and the close-range study of the region occupies a core place in mainstream political science. Its dozen chapters cover...
The Unitary Patent Package & Unified Patent Court
As of 1st of June 2023, after years of negotiations, setbacks and postponements, the Unitary Patent Package (UPP) enters into force: the European patent with unitary effect (EPUE) becomes a reality and the Unified Patent Court (UPC) starts its activities.Regrettably, the patent regime put in place is not a genuine EU system. Adopted through an enhanced cooperation procedure, it firstly does not include all EU Member States. Secondly, the conditions and the procedure for granting EPUE is in the hands of the European Patent Office, an international organization to which EU is not a party. Lastly, the substantive provisions and the litigation proceedings are defined by an international treaty (...

It highlights a number of key factors that have shaped (and continue to shape) the business world and society as a whole. Its focus is on identifying and explaining emerging trends in the field of business management and consumer behaviour, paying attention to the influence of context (both cultural context and corporate context) and generational belonging. This knowledge is needed for a better understanding of the changing world, and for developing digital products and services that meet the evolving needs of individuals and businesses.
