Book Description
« L'intuition des auteurs, François Poulle et Yves Gorgeu, est d'avoir perçu, à travers le champ étendu des interventions de Mairie-conseils et des Parcs naturels régionaux, que ce qui se passait sur certains territoires - ceux étudiés et d'autres - était discrètement novateur, que ce qui s'y construisait n'était plus la conséquence de lois ou de procédures successives, mais que l'on pouvait observer l'esquisse d'un mouvement social de recomposition et d'invention de nouveaux modes de vie collective sur ces espaces ruraux dont on pensait que beaucoup seraient condamnés à terme. Et le grand mérite de l'ouvrage est d'avoir fait se rejoindre une écoute et une observation originales des territoires, avec une théorisation de l'urbanité rurale, largement fondée sur les travaux de Max Weber. Cette confrontation amène à user de termes peu usités dans les pratiques du développement local (république locale, serment, etc.), mais la recherche, dans ce domaine, n'a-t-elle pas intérêt, parfois, à renouveler son regard et ses mots, au lieu de se laisser trop marquer par les logiques du terrain, qui ne sont pas celles du chercheur ? » Extrait de la préface de Jean-Pierre Prod'homme.

Book Description
The Global Industrial Complex: Systems of Domination is a groundbreaking collection of essays by a diverse set of leading scholars who examine the entangled and evolving global array of corporate-state structures of hegemonic power--what the editors refer to as "the power complex"--that was first analyzed by C. Wright Mills in his 1956 classic work, The Power Elite. In this new volume edited by Steven Best, Richard Kahn, Anthony J. Nocella II, and Peter McLaren, the power complex is conceived as co-constituted, interdependent and imbricated systems of domination. Spreading insidiously on a global level, the transnational institutional relationships of the power complex combine the logics of capitalist exploitation and profits and industrialist norms of efficiency, control, and mass production, While some have begun to analyze these institutional complexes as separate entities, this book is unique in analyzing them as overlapping, mutually-enforcing systems that operate globally and which will undoubtedly frame the macro-narrative of the 21st century (and perhaps beyond). The global industrial complex--a grand power complex of complexes--thus poses one of the most formidable challenges to the sustainability of planetary democracy, freedom and peace today. But there can be no serious talk of opposition to it until it is more popularly named and understood. The Global Industrial Complex aims to be a foundational contribution to this emerging educational and political project.
