"Au centre de la vie politique française, l'immigration fait l'objet de débats souvent houleux, ranimés au moindre fait divers mais aussi à chaque élection, et alimente de multiples polémiques. Comprendre cette situation au-delà des slogans racoleurs suppose de revenir à l'Histoire, aux chiffres et aux faits, et d'examiner l'évolution des politiques de l'immigration depuis plus d'un siècle et demi. En 10 questions, ce livre permet de brosser le portrait d'une France où, malgré une tradition d'asile et d'accueil, l'immigration est régulièrement perçue comme un problème. En considérant les controverses sur l'identité nationale, la citoyenneté républicaine, le racisme ou les statistiques ethniques, l'auteur fournit des pistes de réflexion permettant d'objectiver la situation pour nourrir efficacement le débat public, loin des mythes et des fantasmes."--Page 4 of cover.

"Défini comme l'opposition systématique à l'institution militaire, mais bien distinct du pacifisme, l'antimilitarisme naît avec les mutations de la guerre, le renforcement de l'État, le resserrement des liens qui pèsent sur la société. Idéologie militante pour certains, qui le revendiquent jusqu'à l'engagement insurrectionnel, il n'est qu'une émotion mineure pour d'autres, dégoûtés par la caserne ou l'uniforme. Il désigne en tout cas un continuum de pratiques variées dont ce livre analyse les formes et les enjeux, les développements et les reflux, afin d'éclairer d'un jour nouveau l'envers de la construction de l'État. Car l'étude de l'antimilitarisme révèle l'existence de différentes conceptions de la modernité politique et culturelle et permet d'en questionner les confrontations. Souvent étudié dans une perspective militante, l'antimilitarisme n'est plus aujourd'hui au centre du débat public, il est donc temps d'en écrire l'histoire. Fruit de recherches pionnières et discutées collectivement, ce livre offre la première synthèse scientifique sur la question, sans équivalent international. Mobilisant trente-cinq spécialistes des XIXe et XXe siècles, il articule un récit d'ensemble continu et rythmé avec des éclairages détaillés mettant en valeur la diversité des acteurs, des événements et des espaces, prenant en compte la dimension impériale et ouvrant des pistes de comparaison internationale."--Page 4 of cover.

• Challengers in state legislative elections : a lack of choice
• Who represents you in the legislature?

• The cracking foundation of statehouse democracy.

"State legislatures hold tremendous authority over key facets of our lives, in domains ranging from healthcare to education to election administration. And in an era of polarization and frequent policy gridlock at the national level, their significance has only increased. Political scientist Steven Rogers asks what voters know about state legislators, whether they have a meaningful opportunity to register their preferences in state legislative elections, and if there is evidence of accountability for performance in the outcomes of those elections. Drawing on broad-ranging evidence and creative research strategies, Rogers shows that, most often, state legislatures can produce policies contrary to citizens' priorities with little fear of being held accountable at the ballot box. Assembling an encyclopedic range of data on candidacy and retirements, lawmaker issue stances, news coverage, general elections, primaries, electoral competition, legislator effectiveness, state economic performance, public opinion, voter knowledge, and election outcomes, this book foregrounds a major issue: Voters do not know enough about their state representatives. They are often not presented with alternatives in elections where incumbents routinely run unopposed, and outcomes normally fail to correlate with indicators of legislative performance, either for individual lawmakers or in the aggregate performance of state government"-- Provided by publisher.

The last two decades have witnessed a substantial change in the media environment, growing polarization of the two dominant parties, and increasing inequality of wealth and income. These profound changes necessitate updating our understanding of political accountability. Accountability Reconsidered examines how political accountability functions in the US today given the dramatic changes in voting behavior, media, congressional dynamics, and relations between branches. With particular attention to policymaking, this volume uses original research to analyze micro-foundations of voter behavior, examining its implications for incentives and offering insight into the accountability relationships among voters, interest groups, legislators, and government bureaucracy. Combining contributions from leading experts who write about the political system synoptically with those who focus on specific elements, Accountability Reconsidered brings together distinct perspectives to focus on the effect of the informational environment on government officials, bridging up-to-date knowledge about accountability mechanisms with our overall understanding of political accountability.

"This interdisciplinary book offers a new analysis of the concepts, spaces and practices of activism that emerge under diverse authoritarian modes of governance in Asia. Demonstrating the limitations of existing conceptual approaches in accounting for activism in Asia, the book also offers new understandings of authoritarian governance practices and how these shape state-civil society relations. In conjunction with its tripartite theoretical framework, the book presents regional knowledge from an array of countries in Asia, with empirically rich contributions from both scholars and activists. Through in-depth case studies, the book offers new scholarly insights that highlight the ways in which activism emerges and is contested across Asia. As such, it will be of interest to students and scholars of Asian politics, law and sociology"-- Provided by publisher

• Governing mobility amidst ecological disasters and disruptive "attractors"
• Adaptive governance on migration due to climate change or resource needs
• Key messages and interface with United Nations International Resource Panel's assessment

• A right to the city : Toni Morrison's literary jazz
• An egalitarian Istanbul : ethos's cinematic portraiture
• Latinx visibility : architecture and public history

"Aesthetics of Equality is a theoretical and compositional intervention into the problem of equality. While some of the analysis is concerned with contemporary issues, the book is a primarily a work of political theory and a guide to aesthetic methods, focused on how one can conceive equality issues critically through conceptual engagements with diverse artistic genres: literature, film, music, photography, and architecture. Beginning with the question, "what one can contribute to equality issues by being attentive to aesthetic form in a variety of artistic genres that challenge institutionalized accounts of history," the book proceeds to implement answer by extracting political problematics with analyses of the compositional structures of the textual objects of analysis in the chapter's diverse inquiries. While aesthetic strategies are a main concern in the investigation, it is also shaped by commitments to some substantive political concerns, particularly an attentiveness to persons and voices that tend to be civically invisible The assembled chapters demonstrate the way critical approaches to a variety of media genres make visible and audible the persons and groups that are excluded or disqualified from access to livable domestic space and civic participation. The subject matter is temporally extensive, ranging from ancient Israel and Egypt in the Old Testament's Genesis chapter through the early and later ethno-histories of California and Texas and geographically broad, with chapters on diverse cities: New York, Paris, Istanbul, Los Angeles, and fictional Texas and Mexican border cities"-- Provided by publisher

This book, based on exploratory ethnographic research, analyzes the experiences of African migrants in Thailand. Thailand has always been a regional migration hub with Africans being the most recent. Sitting at the intersection of race and migration studies, this book focuses on the challenges Black and labor migrants face trying to integrate into a society that has had very limited contact with and knowledge about Black Africans. Bringing together research from African, Thai, and European scholars, this volume focuses on forced migrants, such as Somali asylum seekers, and labor migrants, largely African men seeking better livelihoods in niche economies such as gem trading, garment wholesale, and football playing and coaching. The book also includes theoretical contributions to the understanding of precarity and human security, the concept of in/visibility to analyze the challenges African migrants face in Thailand as well as the concept of othering to understand discrimination against Africans. The book also analyzes the Thai migration policy context and the challenges facing Thai policy-makers, law enforcement representatives, and the migrants themselves. While not comparative in nature, this volume directly connects with studies of Africans in other parts of Asia, especially China. Addressing an important gap in migration research, this book will be of interest to researchers across the fields of migration and mobility studies, African Studies, and Asian Studies.
