Book Description
Critique and Crisis established Reinhart Koselleck's reputation as the most important German intellectual historian of the postwar period. This first English translation of Koselleck's tour de force demonstrates a chronological breadth, a philosophical depth, and an originality which are hardly equalled in any scholarly domain. It is a history of the Enlightenment in miniature, fundamental to our understanding of that period and its consequences. Like Tocqueville, Koselleck views Enlightenment intellectuals as an uprooted, unrealistic group of onlookers who sowed the seeds of the modern political tensions that first flowered in the French Revolution. He argues that it was the split that developed between state and society during the Enlightenment that fostered the emergence of this intellectual elite divorced from the realities of politics. Koselleck describes how this disjunction between political authority proper and its subjects led to private spheres that later became centers of moral authority and, eventually, models for political society that took little or no notice of the constraints under which politicians must inevitably work. In this way progressive bourgeois philosophy, which seemed to offer the promise of a unified and peaceful world, in fact produced just the opposite. The book provides a wealth of examples drawn from all of Europe to illustrate the still relevant message that we evade the constraints and the necessities of the political realm at our own risk. Critique and Crisis is included in the series Studies in Contemporary German Social Thought, edited by Thomas McCarthy.

Book Description
Le Canada n'avait pas connu de politicien de la trempe de Stéphane Dion depuis Pierre Trudeau. Ses réponses cinglantes aux déclarations du Premier ministre Lucien Bouchard sur la séparation ont rendu les souverainistes furieux. Et ses discours ont étonné les commentateurs, toutes tendances politiques confondues. Pour la première fois depuis longtemps, un politicien a eu l'audace de prendre à partie l'opposition. Comme Trudeau, Dion est un brillant universitaire, recruté par le Parti libéral du Canada en raison de ses profondes convictions et de son désir d'imprimer un nouveau dynamisme au fédéralisme canadien. Nommé ministre des Affaires intergouvernementales et élu au Parlement, il s'est retrouvé au coeur même des débats portant sur les grands enjeux en matière des relations fédérales-provinciales. Mais ce sont ses incursions au Québec qui ont attiré l'attention des médias. Ses lettres au Premier ministre Bouchard et au vice-premier ministre Bernard Landry ont défini pour la première fois le coût de la séparation. Il a irrité les séparatistes en déclarant que si le Canada était divisible, le Québec l'était aussi. Il a aussi irrité les anglophones en présentant la Loi 101, la loi du Québec qui porte sur la langue, comme une grande loi canadienne. Stéphane Dion parle avec clarté et passion de la complexité, de la beauté et des contradictions du Canada. Le pari de la franchise définit sa pensée en matière de réconciliation nationale.

Book Description
The politics of claiming rights and strategies of mobilisation exhibited by marginalised social groups lie at the heart of this volume. Theoretically, the authors aims to foster a holistic and multi-faceted understanding of how social and economic justice is claimed, either through formal, corporatist or organised mechanisms, or through ad hoc, informal, or individualised practices, as well as the implications of these distinctive activist strategies. The collection emphasises both the difficulties of political mobilisation and the distinctive methods employed by various social groups across a variety of contexts to respond and overcome these challenges. Crucially, the authors’ approach involves a conceptualisation of social movements and local mobilisation in terms of the language of rights and justice claims-making through more organised as well as everyday political practices. In so doing, the book bridges the literature on contentious politics, the politics of claiming social justice, and everyday politics of resistance.
