The New Politics of Regionalism
This edited volume approaches regionalism as one potential pattern in a changing global order. Since the end of the Cold War, different forms of territorialization have emerged and we are confronted with an increasing number and variety of actors that are establishing regional projects. This volume offers an innovative contribution to the study of this new complexity by exploring constellations of regional actors, spatial scales and imaginations beyond state-centred perspectives as well as on multiple, often overlapping levels. The chapters analyse the emergence, trajectories and outcomes of regionalisms from the perspective of the Global South, specifically concentrating on regional project...
Démocratie et gouvernance mondiale
Depuis le début des années 1990, la problématique de la démocratie au niveau mondial fait l'objet d'interventions de plus en plus énergiques des acteurs de la société civile, tant sur le plan théorique que politique. Une société mondiale serait-elle en train de se forger ? Serait-elle porteuse de plus de démocratie pour le système mondial ? En essayant d'apporter des éléments de réponse à ces questions, ce livre traite de la participation des acteurs de la société civile (syndicats, ONG, associations, chercheurs, experts) dans les efforts de régulation de la gouvernance mondiale.
Exploring Civil Society
This volume explores how the idea of civil society has been translated in different cultural contexts and examines its impact on politics worldwide. Comparing and contrasting civil society in Latin America and Eastern Europe, Western Europe and the United States, Africa and South Asia, and the Middle East, the contributors show that there are multiple interpretations of the concept that depend more on the particular political configuration in different parts of the world than on cultural predilections. They also demonstrate that the power of civil society depends less on abstract definitions, and more on the extent to which it is grounded in the context of actual experiences from around the world. This book includes some of the biggest names in the area such as Mary Kaldor, Ronnie Lipschutz and Helmut Anheier.

Un autre sommet pour l'Afrique
Février 2003 : un nouveau Sommet France-Afrique a été mis en scène, avec ballet de limousines. La rhétorique change, les non-dits et le double langage restent. Les invités étaient en grande majorité des dirigeants non démocratiques. On a donc pu continuer avec eux d'occulter l'histoire, d'oppresser le présent et de compromettre l'avenir. Comment en 1994 et 1998, Agir ici et Survie se sont mobilisés et ont organisé un autre sommet pour l'Afrique dans un cadre inespéré : l'auditorium de l'Hôtel de ville de Paris. Les invités principalement issus de la société civile africaine, y ont démonté le langage politiquement correct du Sommet officiel, sur le partenariat (NEPAD) et s...
Africa-Europe Relationships
The relationships between Africa and Europe are of high strategic importance. This volume studies the ongoing dynamics between the two continents by adopting a pluralist understanding of international relations which encompasses non-state actors as well as states. Going beyond pure intergovernmentalism, this focus of this book is on activists, business people, religious believers, local politicians as well as transnational networks and by hybrid coalitions. Such plurality of socio-economic and political interactions underpinning the relationship between Africa and Europe is underexamined and yet of great importance. The text identifies new patterns of cooperation and recurrent obstacles in t...

Feminist Trouble
In 'Feminist Trouble', Éléonore Lépinard draws on extended fieldwork with numerous women's organizations in France and Quebec. Giving voice to devout women and women of colour, Lépinard dissects hierarchies of privilege in feminist politics, grappling with Islam and Islamic veiling debates to understand how these changes have transformed contemporary feminist movements, intersectional politics, and the feminist collective subject.
The Encyclopedia of New York City
Covering an exhaustive range of information about the five boroughs, the first edition of The Encyclopedia of New York City was a success by every measure, earning worldwide acclaim and several awards for reference excellence, and selling out its first printing before it was officially published. But much has changed since the volume first appeared in 1995: the World Trade Center no longer dominates the skyline, a billionaire businessman has become an unlikely three-term mayor, and urban regeneration—Chelsea Piers, the High Line, DUMBO, Williamsburg, the South Bronx, the Lower East Side—has become commonplace. To reflect such innovation and change, this definitive, one-volume resource on...
