How to Think About Catastrophe
During the last century humanity acquired the ability to destroy itself. The direct approach to destruction can be seen in such facts as the ever-present threat of nuclear war, but we have also developed the capacity to do indirect harm by altering conditions necessary for survival, including the looming cloud of climate change. How can we look forward and work past the dire position we now find ourselves in to achieve a sustainable future? This volume presents a new way of thinking about the future as it examines catastrophe and the human response. It examines different kinds of catastrophes that range from natural (e.g., earthquakes) to industrial (e.g., Chernobyl) and concludes that the traditional distinctions between them are only becoming blurrier by the day. This book aims to build a general theory of catastrophes—a new form of apocalyptic thinking that is grounded in science and philosophy. An ethics for the sake of the future is what is required, which in turn necessitates a new metaphysics of temporality. If a way out of the imminent danger in which we find ourselves is to be found, we must first look to radically alter our ethics.
L' État et les Médias
Quinze ans après la fin du monopole public sur la télévision, après tant de bouleversements technologiques et industriels, comment gère-t-on une activité qui est considérée comme un domaine de souveraineté nationale, mais s’inscrit sans cesse davantage dans l’économie globale ? Sociologue, Monique Dagnaud a été intégrée aux milieux dirigeants des médias. De cette observation privilégiée, elle tire aujourd’hui une analyse vivante et fine des mécanismes qui président aux prises de décision, des enjeux politiques et économiques. Elle s’interroge aussi sur certaines questions cruciales aujourd’hui : faut-il réguler la vidéosphère ? Faut-il militer pour la diversité culturelle des programmes ? Y a-t-il un modèle français en matière de régulation des médias, et pour combien de temps encore ? Monique Dagnaud est directrice de recherche au CNRS et chargée de cours à l’IEP Paris. De 1991 à 1999, elle a été membre du Conseil supérieur de l’audiovisuel.
The Global Internet Economy
Comparative analyses of the development and economic development of the Internet in seven countries.
The Politics of Regulation
These changes, together with the general advance in the study of regulation, undoubtedly demand a re-evaluation of the theory of regulation, its methodologies and scope of application. This book is a perceptive investigation of recent evolutions in the manner and extent of governance through regulation. Scholars and students of comparative politics, public policy, regulation theory, institutional economics and political sociology will find it to be essential reading. It will also prove a valuable source of reference for those working or dealing with regulatory authorities and for business managers in private industries and services operating under a regulatory framework.
