Law, Society and Community
This collection of socio-legal studies, written by leading theorists and researchers from around the world, offers original, perceptive and critical contributions to ideas and theories that have been expounded by Roger Cotterrell over a long and distinguished career. Engaging with many classic issues and theories of the sociology of law, the contributions are likely to become classics themselves as they tackle some of the most significant challenges that modern law faces. They do not shy away from what one of the contributors describes as the complexity and multiplicity of our contemporary legal world. The book is organized in three parts: socio-legal themes; methodological and jurisprudential themes; globalization, cultural and comparative law themes. Starting with a chapter that re-engages with the need to interpret legal ideas sociologically, and ending with one that explores the global significance of modern fascination with the idea of the rule of law, this selection offers important additions to the oeuvre of Roger Cotterrell (a list of whose academic writings is included in the book).
Droit, gouvernance et développement durable
On assiste à la prise de conscience que le monde forme un tout, que les ressources de notre planète ne sont pas inépuisables et qu'on ne saurait continuer à aborder les différents secteurs de notre vie comme indépendants."Gouvernance" et "développement durable" soulignent que des approches, abordant le Droit dans toute sa complexité faite de l'interdépendance des divers facteurs constituant nos vies, sont non seulement souhaitables, mais de plus en plus vitales de nos jours.
Anthropologie et droit
Dans le cadre de la mise en commun de leurs expériences respectives, nos revues ont mené une enquête conjointe sur le thème : " Regards contemporains sur l'anthropologie du Droit ", permettant de réunir des témoignages personnels exprimant une définition de l'anthropologie du Droit, des démarches, des expériences, des champs de recherche, mais aussi des points de vue critiques, des souhaits et des perspectives. Ont contribué 49 personnes, juristes, anthropologues, sociologues, magistrats, universitaires, consultants, et beaucoup de jeunes docteurs et doctorants qui, chacun à leur façon, ont tenté de montrer l'intérêt de l'impossible mariage entre la carpe et le lapin, entre l'...
“They Know, I Know Everything”
A key figure in French Africa, Robert Bourgi, for the first time ever in a book, discusses his life, his relationship with his mentor Jacques Foccart and all the "missions" he undertook over almost forty years, on behalf of African and French presidents, including the leading lights of the Right (Jacques Chirac, Nicolas Sarkozy, Charles Pasqua, Jacques Toubon, Dominique de Villepin, Claude Guéant, François Fillon etc.). He reveals the financing networks of French political parties, based on his personal notes that he kept for 40 years. He also describes the sensitive cases in which he was involved—the liberation of French journalists from Lebanon in the 1980s; rehabilitation of Mobutu Se...
Nomadic Societies in the Middle East And North Africa
A volume devoted to an understanding of contemporary nomadic and pastoral societies in the Middle East and North Africa. It recognizes the variable mobile quality of the ways of life of these societies which accommodate the 'nation-state' but remain firmly transnational and highly adaptive.
Responsibility and Cultures of the World
This book brings together eleven contributions by authors from all parts of the world who have examined the notion of responsibility in their respective countries. In the first part Edith Sizoo presents a comparative analysis of those texts which reflect a rich variety of worldviews and traditions: harmony with the earth and relational ethics in the Maori culture of New Zealand, juridical approach in France, responsibility in Confucian thinking in China, individualism in the face of collective duty in the United States, duty and responsibility on the shores of the Congo, responsibility in Arab Islamic culture, encountering the sense of responsibility in Germany... This book thus presents an intercultural vision of responsibility that is all the more interesting because the final texts are the outcome of an intense dialogue between the authors. This exchange enhanced a more explicit expression of their respective points of view, thus making these more accessible to people from other cultural backgrounds.
From Contention to Democracy
From Contention to Democracy addresses a crucial aspect of contemporary societies: the role of social movements for political and social change. The volume gathers together essays written by prominent social theorists who have been asked to reflect on the relationship between movements and processes of social, political and cultural change. Three broad types of movement-change nexus are distinguished and discussed: incorporation, transformation, and democratization. The chapters in this book all point to the place of social movements in relation to these three processes of change, while discussing the history and well-known events of social movements. Individual occurrences such as the protest of French students in 1968 or Chilean shantytown dwellers are examined. The final essay looks ahead, wondering: what is the future of social movements?
Law and Anthropology
Law and Anthropology, the latest volume in the Current Legal Issues series, offers an insight into the state of law and anthropology scholarship today. Focussing on the inter-connections between the two disciplines it also includes case studies from around the world.
Oser le plurivers
"Oser le plurivers", c'est tout d'abord oser s'ouvrir à la vie. C'est une démarche existentielle. Mais ce n'est pas alors – comme certains pourraient le supposer – une démarche purement individuelle. Bien au contraire! Nous n'existons pas séparés des autres – humains et non-humains –, du monde, de nos histoires, de nos cultures, de nos contextes politiques, économiques, juridiques, sociaux, des défis qui se posent à nous. "Oser le plurivers", c'est s'ouvrir à nous-mêmes tout en insérant cette ouverture dans une ouverture plus large au monde dans lequel nous vivons. Cette ouverture nous invite à repenser notre globalisation, cette condition humaine nouvelle que nous partag...
