Traitors, Collaborators and Deserters in Contemporary European Politics of Memory
This volume offers a multidisciplinary approach to shaping and imposition of “formulas for betrayal” as a result of changing memory politics in post-war Europe. The contributors, who specialize in history, sociology, anthropology, memory studies, media studies and cultural studies, discuss the exertion of political control over memory (including the selection, imposition, silencing or ideological “twisting” of facts), the usage of “formulas for betrayal” in various cultural-political contexts, and the discursive framing of the betraying subject for the purpose of legitimizing various memory regimes and ideologies.

Political Representation in France and Germany
Notwithstanding its contemporary critics, political representation remains at the core of democratic politics. Based on a comparative research project that gathered data from observations, surveys, experiments and expert interviews, this book examines the process and the quality of political representation in France and Germany from a dual perspective. First, it analyzes MPs’ behavior during their district activities. Second, it investigates the perceptions and evaluations of the represented, the French and German citizens. In ten chapters different facets of MPs’ activities as well as citizens’ attitudes are comparatively investigated. The book is relevant for Politics scholars and practitioners at national parliaments to better understand representative democracies, and it may also contribute to improve representation itself.

Ghosts in the Neighborhood
Germany, which brutalized its neighbors in Europe for centuries, has mostly escaped the ghosts of the past, while Japan remains haunted in Asia. The most common explanation for this difference is that Germany knows better how to apologize; Japan is viewed as “impenitent.” Walter F. Hatch rejects the conventional wisdom and argues that Germany has achieved reconciliation with neighbors by showing that it can be a trustworthy partner in regional institutions like the European Union and NATO; Japan has never been given that opportunity (by its dominant partner, the U.S.) to demonstrate such an ability to cooperate. This book rigorously defends the argument that political cooperation—not d...

L' Avenir des partis politiques en France et en Allemagne
De part et d'autre du Rhin, les partis politiques jouent un rôle central dans la formation de l'opinion publique. Les deux systèmes ont connu au départ un processus de concentration. Mais une bipolarisation a émergé en France, tandis qu'un système de compétition voyait le jour en Allemagne. Avec la faiblesse des partis de rassemblement allemands, il devient de plus en plus difficile de constituer des majorités structurelles. Ainsi, l'Allemagne se rapproche de la situation française, traditionnellement caractérisée par une tendance à la fragmentation. Dans les deux pays, les partis établis perdent en dynamisme, en termes de personnel comme de programme, et sont en concurrence pou...
