Le mot "néolibéralisme" renvoie assez souvent au Chili. Pour toute une génération, le traumatisme du coup d'Etat de 1973 ne met pas simplement fin au rêve porté par le président Salvador Allende, et à "la voie chilienne au socialisme" : l'intervention militaire enclenche aussi la mise en oeuvre de mesures néolibérales sur le continent latino-américain, et plus généralement à l'échelle mondiale. Mais de quoi parle-t-on lorsque l'on affirme que le Chili est un pays "néolibéral"? Depuis 40 ans, la question ne cesse d'alimenter réflexions et débats au sein des sciences sociales comme de la sphère publique (Des articles en Français et en Espagnol).

(Des articles en français et en anglais).
The implementation of a system of economic, social and linguistic domination on the French part of Saint-Martin as of 1977 irremediably transformed the islanders' peaceful lifestyle and quality of life. The island became a type of Eldorado in which the world of business, drugs, illegality, criminality and all kinds of trafficking unfortunately prevailed. The natives are almost eliminated from the social and economic structure, and their Caribbean culture is stifled.
En Afrique s'est installée la culture du pouvoir personnel et égoïste. Ainsi des groupes d'intérêt s'imposent, fondant l'autorité de l'Etat sur la force, abandonnant les nobles objectifs républicains, cultivant la corruption. Avec le Contrat républicain on va vivre et revivre les comportements républicains et démocratiques ; mettre en avant, par les institutions et les individus, les objectifs communs, d'intérêt général, en vue du bonheur de chaque personne et de tout le monde.
Sir Michael Quinlan was one of the most distinguished European strategic thinkers of the recent decades, who passed away in March 2009. His influence on Western strategic thinking was profound.

Ce livre explore une modification substantielle ayant atteint l'Etat souverain dans le monde démocratique : il traite tout d'abord du régionalisme en Europe occidentale, puis des unités subnationales, que même les Etats les plus centralisateurs ont dû créer ou utiliser pour leur organisation interne.

Le Brésil, autrefois "grand pays du futur", puissance émergente, apparaît au XXIe siècle comme une puissance du présent. La visibilité du pays a exceptionnellement augmenté, y compris via une forte présence sous bannière internationale. Pendant ses deux mandats présidentiels, le Président Lula a largement su imposer son pays en tant qu'acteur global, soutenu pas une économie et un marché intérieur en plein essor. (Articles en français ou en anglais).

Le général José Maria Mendes Norton de Mattos (1867-1955), militant républicain et responsable militaire pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, a été l'organisateur du Corps expéditionnaire portugais allié à la France. Opposant au gouvernement de Sidonio Pais (1917), il a été exilé à Londres. De retour au Portugal, il devint ambassadeur du Portugal à Londres. Candidat aux élections présidentielles de 1948, alors que le pays comptait déjà vingt-deux ans de dictature salazariste, Norton de Mattos a été le plus grand combattant électoral et le plus ferme contre Salazar et l'Etat Nouveau.

Thirty-two years after his assassination, Thomas Sankara's name remains appealing throughout Africa and beyond. The revolutionary leader's legacy consists of a call to unity, selfconfidence and good governance. To the world's leaders, Sankara's concern for the less advantaged might serve as a reminder that sacrifi ce to humanity is a yardstick for assessing good leadership. Looking back at Sankara's dynamic and visionary presidency, might his revolutionary spirit be relevant to Burkina Faso and to the African continent today as it was then ?
For over three decades, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), which is the case study, has been one of the most notorious groups in Africa, causing devastating impacts in the Great Lakes Region. Here is a study sample for the application of the international relations (IR) theories of realism, transnationalism and functionalism. This step by step guide into countering and defeating terrorism in Africa takes into account the advancing of the scientific, academic, and political understanding of the various reasons behind radicalization.
International terrorism is a major challenge to states' security and stability. The coordinated action required to combat the changing terrorist threat is further justified by the fact that its complex webs provide advice and services to their subsidiaries.In this extremely complex situation, international borders, which are a point of control for customs, also remain a key vantage point for monitoring strategic trade and intercepting illicit trafficking. Starting from the Punta Cana Resolution, which was a decisive step in dealing with the terrorist threat, the author focuses on the need to better address the cross-border dimension of terrorism.
The "Ambazonian" Nightmare tells the story of how the now almost six years of instability started in the two English speaking regions of the Republic of Cameroon. The swiftly consolidating insecurity dilemma holds within two contradictory historical mistakes: the enforcement of the English speaking Cameroon's populations resentment of specificity and marginality and the paradoxical laxism of Cameroon's national security and defence system. Yet, the security system was not weak but negligent of the threat of an "Anglophone" revolutionary agenda and the challenge it was posing to the unity of the nation and the philosophy of national integration.
In April 2022, while Pakistan is getting bogged down in partisan chaos threatening to turn violent, an umpteenth crisis pits Prime Minister Khan against the opposition. Defeated by a vote of no confidence, the former national sports icon turned politician gave way with little grace to a 23rd head of government. But in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, a change of leader rarely rhymes with serenity... A quarter later, the governmental 'facelift' has had little effect on the myriad of ills precipitating this South Asian nation further towards the precipice, even though the regional environment (return of the Taliban to Afghanistan a year earlier) and the international context (shockwaves from the Russian invasion of Ukraine; exacerbation of China's strategic ambitions; pandemic of Covid) add considerably to the uncertainty.As Pakistan celebrates in 2022 its 75th anniversary, what does it have in store for its 226 million citizens, its neighbors, and the international community? This book proposes to nourish the readers' reflection on the 'Pakistani patient', and presents to the stakeholders some recommendations likely to keep the country away from the claws of chaos.
Few concepts are more central to the modern state and, at the same time, more difficult to define than the concepts of political parties, democracy, and elections. Based on primary, secondary, and alternative sources, the author nonetheless try to defy the odds and explain these concepts as clearly as possible in the context of Cameroon from 1948, the year in which the first political party (UPC) was created and went operational, to 2018, the year in which the last presidential elections took place. In this book, political parties are presented as central institutions of a modern democracy at different epochs. The characteristics and functions of parties, the basic elements of their organisation, their political and social context, as well as the problems of party democracy and the specific challenges faced by parties, besides proposed solutions from within the time frame, are the main issues.
How do we define resilience in the context of security? How do we build resilience? What is disinformation and how is it being used by Russia in Eastern Europe? Is it a new phenomenon or a continuation of an old one with roots in the sovietization process? Are the education policies regarding democracy helping to build resilience? Are the research programmes of the EU targeting the right key areas for increasing resilience? These are the main inquiries that the book addresses. While looking in the past and linking it to the present, the research covers the synergies between security, resilience, disinformation, education and research, and offers solutions for building resilience and combating disinformation through education.
Which are the perceptions of the border in European border regions before and after the COVID-19 pandemic? This Cahier Fare n°25 presents the results of the Jean Monnet Network "Frontières en mouvement: quels modèles pour l'UE (FRONTEM)?", which was supported by the EU's Erasmus+ program for the period between 2019-2023. The network exchanged knowledge and practices on five different types of EU border perception: at the border between France and Germany, at the border between France and Belgium, at the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, at the border between Rumania and Hungary and at the border between Denmark and Germany. By analysing the results of focus groups organised in and mental maps drawn for each of the 5 border regions concerned, it critically examines the perception of the border as a place of cross-border reconciliation, of minority co-existence and of peace facilitation. The key question addressed by the network was to assess the mental perception of the border when faced with processes of re-bordering and the re-questioning of the model of a "Europe without borders".
Cet ouvrage voudrait concourir à la reconnaissance d'une doctrine marocaine en science politique et relations internationales, alors que les travaux en la matière au Maroc sont très rares. Le pluralisme académique, la diversité intellectuelle, la multiplication des approches, les débats pratiques et théoriques sont en effet essentiels pour la vitalité de n'importe quelle région. Regrouper les experts, rassembler les spécialistes, confronter les tendances, tels sont les objectifs de ce travail. (Ouvrage relié).
