France qui gagne (La)
Et si la France avait aussi ses succès ? Un préalable : en finir avec l’idéologie du déclin et redécouvrir que c’est en partant d’eux que nous pourrons construire nos réformes. Réseaux de transports, production d’énergie, nouvelles technologies : nous sommes pionniers ! Stabilité des institutions et débat politique : les Français ne sont pas fatigués de la démocratie ! Tissu urbain, cohésion sociale, richesse de la culture : nous faisons mieux que beaucoup de nos voisins ! Dynamisme et compétitivité des entreprises : la France est en marche dans la mondialisation. Le pessimisme ambiant a ses chantres. La question mérite d’être posée : à qui profite le « déclinisme » ? Nicolas Jacquet, préfet, ancien élève de l’ENA, a été délégué à l’aménagement du territoire (Datar) et est aujourd’hui directeur général de la Chambre de commerce et d’industrie de Paris. Guéric Jacquet, ancien élève de l’ENS Cachan, agrégé d’économie et gestion, est chercheur à la Fondation pour l’innovation politique.
Decolonizing European Sociology
Decolonizing European Sociology builds on the work challenging the androcentric, colonial and ethnocentric perspectives eminent in mainstream European sociology by identifying and describing the processes at work in its current critical transformation. Divided into sections organized around themes like modernity, border epistemology, migration and 'the South', this book considers the self-definition and basic concepts of social sciences through an assessment of the new theoretical developments, such as postcolonial theory and subaltern studies, and whether they can be described as the decolonization of the discipline. With contributions from a truly international team of leading social scientists, this volume constitutes a unique and tightly focused exploration of the challenges presented by the decolonization of the discipline of sociology.
Politics of (Dis)Integration
This open access book explores how contemporary integration policies and practices are not just about migrants and minority groups becoming part of society but often also reflect deliberate attempts to undermine their inclusion or participation. This affects individual lives as well as social cohesion. The book highlights the variety of ways in which integration and disintegration are related to, and often depend on each other. By analysing how (dis)integration works within a wide range of legal and institutional settings, this book contributes to the literature on integration by considering (dis)integration as a highly stratified process. Through featuring a fertile combination of comparati...
Changing Structures of Inequality
The international sociological community has engaged recently in a controversial discussion on social inequality. There is a vigourous debate on whether the traditional concepts of social class and social stratification are still useful. Some researchers argue that social classes still offer a key explanation to social inequalities while others challenge the long-standing tradition of class analysis. New approaches have been proposed to describe recent social changes in the stratification system: vanishing middle class, two-thirds societies, cosmographic inequality, and classless society, among others.

Computational Research in Ethnic and Migration Studies
This book showcases the potential of computational approaches for research questions at the heart of migration and integration research via a set of original, cutting-edge empirical studies by a diverse, international team of authors. Why do people emigrate? Do weather conditions and climate change affect decisions to migrate? How do migration networks evolve on a global scale? Can we predict refugee movements? How do host communities respond to the influx of refugees? Do right-wing populist parties get stronger where lots of refugees are located? Do terror attacks lead to more hostility towards immigrants? What mechanisms explain neighborhood ethnic segregation? The collection of studies in...
Migration and the Construction of National Identity in Spain
