DOWNLOAD EBOOKTwo competing approaches currently dominate the debate about the state and institutions in developing countries. The first projects a picture of transnational, vertical uniformity descending from the West to developing countries and views liberal democracy as "the only game in town." In this view, the state and institutions resemble or ought to resemble those in the West. The second, by contrast, explains political outcomes by local idiosyncrasies and regional variations in institutions. In his original approach to third world politics, S. N. Sangmpam challenges both views by uncovering important similarities in the political features of developing countries. He shows that they share political behaviors and features unaccounted for in either local/idiosyncratic or liberal democratic theories. These behaviors converge toward a common property—overpoliticization—that defies political compromise, leading to an overpoliticized state. Sangmpam provides a wealth of empirical, historical, and quantitative evidence from Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the West and demonstrates the overpoliticized state constitutes the cornerstone of an integrated theory of politics in developing countries.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDes Etats-Unis déferlent les nouvelles normes culturelles, religieuses et médiatiques qui nous submergent. Les cultures nationales résisteront-elles à ce que l'on appelle la mondialisation mais qui n'est en fait qu'une américanisation ? A cette interrogation centrale pour notre temps, Guy Sorman répond à sa façon, non avec des théories abstraites, mais par l'exploration, sur place, de la manière dont les grandes civilisations réagissent au nouveau défi américain. En Europe, en Russie, en Chine, au Japon, en Afrique, en Amérique latine, l'auteur nous conduit aux frontières où les cultures se heurtent. Ces lignes de fracture entre civilisations passent par Istanbul, le détroit de La Pérouse, le canal de Beagle, la passe de Khyber, le 38e parallèle, Brest-Litovsk, Ceuta, Tijuana, une rue à Brooklyn, la muraille de Chine, le Mur de Berlin, Sarajevo et Jérusalem... A partir de ce voyage qui mêle choses vues et entendues, rencontres dramatiques ou cocasses, l'histoire, la littérature, les souvenirs et la réflexion, Guy Sorman montre comment notre planète hésite entre deux forces contradictoires : la mondialisation à l'américaine et le réenracinement tribal. Dans cette tension entre civilisations, la France devrait poursuivre sa voie singulière, celle du métissage des cultures plutôt que de l'exclusion de l'autre.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn an era of rapid globalisation, how can the changes that characterise how the social question is addressed in rich and emerging countries be analysed? How can one interpret the crisis in the Welfare State and the emergence of new social policies that push for the financial contribution of beneficiaries and the development of new forms of solidarity? What can be said about the world’s poorest countries and their recurrent difficulty in benefiting from international aid to fight against poverty and ensure the protection of all people? This volume brings together 24 researchers from around the world to analyse a series of case studies of developed, emerging and developing countries. They study the evolution or decline observed in these countries and propose some answers to the issue of the way in which the economic model influences how the social question is taken into account around the world. A closer look reveals that the manner in which this question is addressed largely determines how the evolution of the world is perceived. While the contributors here highlight how capitalism makes it possible to reflect on the issue of social protection, they also show the limits of policies unable to guarantee this protection as soon as the economic situation can no longer allow countries to bear its costs.
