Book Synopsis La démocratie providentielle by : Dominique Schnapper
Download or read book La démocratie providentielle written by Dominique Schnapper and published by Editions Gallimard. This book was released on 2002 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La démocratie a posé l'universalité du principe d'égalité : la communauté des citoyens est régie par le principe de l'égalité formelle des individus, quelles que soient par ailleurs les inégalités sociales, culturelles et autres. La démocratisation, au contraire, est animée par l'ambition d'assurer l'égalité réelle, et non plus seulement formelle, des citoyens. La dynamique démocratique s'est donc traduite par le développement de l'Etat-providence, qui intervient toujours plus pour satisfaire les besoins économiques et sociaux des individus. Il reconnaît et assure les droits du salarié, les droits à la survie matérielle et au logement, mais également aux soins médicaux, à l'éducation ou à la culture. Or son action est désormais paradoxale : fruit du louable souci d'assurer l'universalité des droits, elle vise, par les " discriminations positives " et autres politiques de promotion spécifique, à défendre les droits particuliers de certaines catégories. Elle nourrit l'aspiration à ce que soient publiquement reconnus les droits identitaires de collectivités historiques réunies dans la même société nationale. L'équité se substitue à l'égalité, le multiculturalisme à l'universalité. Telle est l'épreuve particulière que traversent les démocraties occidentales, confrontées au caractère toujours plus " providentiel " de leurs sociétés. Comment construire une Europe politique sur l'idée et les institutions de la citoyenneté, alors que les nations européennes deviennent des démocraties providentielles ? Si l'égalité contemporaine tend à épuiser les formes de transcendance collective, qu'elles soient d'inspiration religieuse ou politique, comment peut-on continuer à " faire société " ?

Download or read book De la démocratie en France written by Dominique Schnapper and published by Editions Odile Jacob. This book was released on 2017 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""Démocratie providentielle", "démocratie extrême", les notions forgées par Dominique Schnapper, une des grandes voix de la pensée politique française, sont passées dans le langage courant. Elle revient dans ce livre sur les thèmes qui sont aujourd'hui au coeur du débat public : le malaise des populations immigrées, le chômage, la place de l'islam, le rapport à la République et à la nation. Comment penser la démocratie en France ? Comment fonder des liens entre les individus et les groupes, afin qu'un avenir commun puisse être envisagé ? Loin des idéologues de l'identité comme des défenseurs du multi-culturalisme, Dominique Schnapper analyse patiemment ce qui permet la relation à l'autre et donne du sens à la citoyenneté. Racisme, laïcité, remise en cause des institutions, intégration, judaïsme, individualisme et communauté, droits des minorités, aucune question n'est éludée et toutes sont abordées avec la même rigueur scientifique et morale."--Page 4 of cover.

Book Synopsis Critical Republicanism by : Cécile Laborde
Download or read book Critical Republicanism written by Cécile Laborde and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-10-09 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive analysis of the philosophical issues raised by the hijab controversy in France, this book also conducts a dialogue between contemporary Anglo-American and French political theory and defends a progressive republican solution to so-called multicultural conflicts in contemporary societies. It critically assesses the official republican philosophy of laïcité which purported to justify the 2004 ban on religious signs in schools. Laïcité is shown to encompass a comprehensive theory of republican citizenship, centered on three ideals: equality (secular neutrality of the public sphere), liberty (individual autonomy and emancipation) and fraternity (civic loyalty to the community of citizens). Challenging official interpretations of laïcité, the book then puts forward a critical republicanism which does not support the hijab ban, yet upholds a revised interpretation of three central republican commitments: secularism, non-domination and civic solidarity. Thus, it articulates a version of secularism which squarely addresses the problem of status quo bias - the fact that Western societies are historically not neutral towards all religions. It also defends a vision of female emancipation which rejects the coercive paternalism inherent in the regulation of religious dress, yet does not leave individuals unaided in the face of religious and secular, patriarchal and ethnocentric domination. Finally, the book outlines a theory of immigrant integration which places the burden of civic integration on basic socio-political institutions, rather than on citizens themselves. Critical republicanism proposes an entirely new approach to the management of religious and cultural pluralism, centred on the pursuit of the progressive ideal of non-domination in existing, non-ideal societies. Oxford Political Theory presents the best new work in contemporary political theory. It is intended to be broad in scope, including original contributions to political philosophy, and also work in applied political theory. The series will contain works of outstanding quality with no restriction as to approach or subject matter. Series Editors: Will Kymlicka, David Miller, and Alan Ryan.

Book Synopsis The Ties that Bind by : John Erik Fossum
Download or read book The Ties that Bind written by John Erik Fossum and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern states - and novel multinational polities such as the European Union - have to contend with greater degrees, and more complex forms, of diversity. What elements keep complex, «post-national», political entities together? What are the ties that bind people together in a world where they cannot rely on the safety of established national identifications (if they ever could)? This collection of essays by leading political scientists, philosophers and legal academics from Canada and Europe provides a transatlantic dialogue on the ways in which complex states (such as Canada) and non-states (the EU) may broach the modes of difference and diversity that confront them. Authors engage in insightful «diagnoses» of contemporary forms and modes of diversity, as well as critical appraisals of a number of normative responses meant to answer these challenges. These responses range from «reasonable accommodation» and multinationalism to cosmopolitanism. They include the recognition of «post-national», «multinational» or «deterritorialised» democracy and constitutional patriotism, as well as plural or «denationalised» citizenship.
Book Synopsis Law and Citizenship by : Law Commission of Canada
Download or read book Law and Citizenship written by Law Commission of Canada and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in Law and Citizenship provide a framework for analyzing citizenship in an increasingly globalized world by addressing a number of fundamental questions. How are traditional notions of citizenship erecting borders against those who are excluded? What are the impacts of changing notions of state, borders, and participation on our concepts of citizenship? Within territorial borders, to what extent are citizens able to participate, given that the principles of accountability, transparency, and representativeness remain ideals? The contributors address the numerous implications of the concept of citizenship for public policy, international law, poverty law, immigration law, constitutional law, history, political science, and sociology.
Book Synopsis From Multiculturalism to Democratic Discrimination by : Alberto Spektorowski
Download or read book From Multiculturalism to Democratic Discrimination written by Alberto Spektorowski and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of Islam on Western Europe has been profound. Spektorowski and Elfersy argue that it has transformed European democratic values by inspiring an ultra-liberalism that now faces an ultra-conservative backlash. Questions of what to do about Muslim immigration, how to deal with burqas, how to deal with gender politics, have all been influenced by western democracies’ grappling with ideas of inclusion and most recently, exclusion. This book examines those forces and ultimately sees, not an unbridgeable gap, but a future in which Islam and European democracies are compatible, rich, and evolving.
Book Synopsis Discriminating Democracy by : Emmanuelle Sandrine Chapin
Download or read book Discriminating Democracy written by Emmanuelle Sandrine Chapin and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dissertation analyzes the projects of popular theater devised by the republican governments and assemblies, 1878 to 1893, in order to understand the conflicted point of view of republicans with regard to the democratization of art. In the 1880s, the four state-subsidized theaters (the Opéra, the Opéra-Comique, the Comédie-Française, and the Odéon) had a very select audience. Yet, republicans were divided on the issue of its diversification. On the one hand, the purportedly inferior moral capacities of the popular public made dramatic performances hazardous without a prior education of its will. On the other hand, it was fair to let people who paid for the upkeep of state-subsidized theaters access these institutions and to fulfill the wish of a significant part of the population to acquaint themselves with high-brow culture. The successive projects of popular theater represent the various solutions imagined by republican governments to reconcile two contradictory impulses, democratization and discrimination. They show how a culture of prejudices, inherited from previous regimes, progressively came to terms with a new conception of justice, more respectful of individuals' autonomy and sovereignty. At the end of the 1870s, the minister of public instruction and fine arts Agénor Bardoux denied that the state had any responsibility to democratize art. He variously argued that democratization happened spontaneously or that the artistic mission of the state did not include the dissemination of works. Jules Ferry believed that the state owed a theater to the lower classes, but, convinced that lower classes were inferior in their aptitudes, he imagined a popular lyric theater that would be the pale copy of the Opéra. Finally, Léon Bourgeois accepted the director of the Opéra's proposition that the institution should organize reduced-price performances. Bourgeois thought it more conducive to social peace to promote a common culture than to cultivate separate class identities. In his mind, the difference between the people and the elite should consist in their respective degrees of exposure to high-brow culture. The study of theatrical democratization in the 1880s shows that French republicans abided by two principles of government. One, which reflected the republicans' universalist credo, advocated the equal treatment of individuals by virtue of their equal rights. The other, inspired by utilitarian tenets, defended the differentiated treatment of individuals on the grounds of their unequal aptitudes. This dissertation argues that the ambiguity of the notion of merit in the republicans' discourse (did it lie in the essence of a social group or was it the result of individuals' actions?) informed a tension between the desire to extend liberties and democratize elite practices, on the one hand, and the perceived necessity to control activities and discriminate against the people, on the other.

Book Synopsis The Mystery of Rationality by : Gérald Bronner
Download or read book The Mystery of Rationality written by Gérald Bronner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contributes to the developing dialogue between cognitive science and social sciences. It focuses on a central issue in both fields, i.e. the nature and the limitations of the rationality of beliefs and action. The development of cognitive science is one of the most important and fascinating intellectual advances of recent decades, and social scientists are paying increasing attention to the findings of this new branch of science that forces us to consider many classical issues related to epistemology and philosophy of action in a new light. Analysis of the concept of rationality is a leitmotiv in the history of the social sciences and has involved endless disputes. Since it is difficult to give a precise definition of this concept, and there is a lack of agreement about its meaning, it is possible to say that there is a ‘mystery of rationality’. What is it to be rational? Is rationality merely instrumental or does it also involve the endorsement of values, i.e. the choice of goals? Should we consider rationality to be a normative principle or a descriptive one? Can rationality be only Cartesian or can it also be argumentative? Is rationality a conscious skill or a partly tacit one? This book, which has been written by an outstanding collection of authors, including both philosophers and social scientists, tries to make a useful contribution to the debates on these problems and shed some light on the mystery of rationality. The target audience primarily comprises researchers and experts in the field.
Book Synopsis The Mystery of Contemporary Iran by : Mahnaz Shirali
Download or read book The Mystery of Contemporary Iran written by Mahnaz Shirali and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mystery of how an Islamic dictatorship came to power remains more than thirty years after the Islamic Republic's inception in Iran. The precise nature of a regime that calls itself both a republic and Islamic but is neither is little understood. The ayatollahs' unpopularity may have reached unprecedented heights, but their power seems more secure. Such paradoxes weigh heavily and judgments diverge. While public opinion wonders how an archaic theocratic regime could survive so long, some explain it in terms of Iran's continued modernization and the clergy's ability to reconcile itself with politics.Understanding the modernization process propelled by the Constitutional Revolution is difficult and raises questions. How and why could ideological Islam continue to dominate Iranian society since the late 1970s? How did it gain power and influence and overcome the reforms molded by the Constitutional Revolution? Mahnaz Shirali analyzes twentieth-century Iranian history to understand the Shiite clergy's role in a modernized country's social and political organization. She explains what enabled the clergy to take over prevailing political forces and gain control of the state.Studying Iran's history for the past one hundred years reveals the force of a religious conservatism opposing political modernity, repelling any attempt at democracy by Iranians, thanks to its constant metamorphoses. Shirali studies the curse of the Shiite clergy on political modernity. It is a convincing, in-depth criticism of the ideological Islam imposed on Iran.
Download or read book Anomie written by Marco Orru and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1987, Anomie examines essential moments of Western thought, tracing the complex concept of anomie. The Greek origin of the term (a-nomia, absence of joy) relates it to the notions of disorder, inequity and anarchy. 20th century sociology has long called into question an over simple dichotomy between law and the absence of law. The book shows that this questioning is not new. It has its roots in Ancient Greek thought and in the founding texts of the Judeo-Christian tradition. It appears in the legal and religious states of the English Renaissance, and in the emerging sociology of 19th century French, where Orrù opposes the collectivism of Durkheim to the individualism of Jean-Marie Guyau. The latter’s thought, little recognized at that time, finds an echo in contemporary sociology, notably in American sociologist R. K. Merton. To write the history of the concept, to account for the fluctuations in meaning that it undergoes in the changing prism of diverse societies, to uncover the subterranean continuities between yesterday and today: this is the aim of the book. This book will be of interest to students of history, sociology, literature and philosophy.

Book Synopsis Democracy and the Foreigner by : Bonnie Honig
Download or read book Democracy and the Foreigner written by Bonnie Honig and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-10 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What should we do about foreigners? Should we try to make them more like us or keep them at bay to protect our democracy, our culture, our well-being? This dilemma underlies age-old debates about immigration, citizenship, and national identity that are strikingly relevant today. In Democracy and the Foreigner, Bonnie Honig reverses the question: What problems might foreigners solve for us? Hers is not a conventional approach. Instead of lauding the achievements of individual foreigners, she probes a much larger issue--the symbolic politics of foreignness. In doing so she shows not only how our debates over foreignness help shore up our national or democratic identities, but how anxieties endemic to liberal democracy themselves animate ambivalence toward foreignness. Central to Honig's arguments are stories featuring ''foreign-founders,'' in which the origins or revitalization of a people depend upon a foreigner's energy, virtue, insight, or law. From such popular movies as The Wizard of Oz, Shane, and Strictly Ballroom to the biblical stories of Moses and Ruth to the myth of an immigrant America, from Rousseau to Freud, foreignness is represented not just as a threat but as a supplement for communities periodically requiring renewal. Why? Why do people tell stories in which their societies are dependent on strangers? One of Honig's most surprising conclusions is that an appreciation of the role of foreigners in (re)founding peoples works neither solely as a cosmopolitan nor a nationalist resource. For example, in America, nationalists see one archetypal foreign-founder--the naturalized immigrant--as reconfirming the allure of deeply held American values, whereas to cosmopolitans this immigrant represents the deeply transnational character of American democracy. Scholars and students of political theory, and all those concerned with the dilemmas democracy faces in accommodating difference, will find this book rich with valuable and stimulating insights.
