Book Description
La mondialisation, aujourd'hui aux programmes des concours de recrutement (CAPES et Agrégations d'histoire et de géographie), compose un véritable défi bibliographique. Ce phénomène majeur et multiforme bouleverse en effet, fondamentalement, les fonctionnements économiques, sociaux, politiques et culturels des sociétés contemporaines dans leurs dimensions spatiales et territoriales, et ce quels que soient les situations de développement et les contextes civilisationnels. Cet ouvrage se propose donc d'exposer les enjeux et les usages de la notion, la diversité de ses acceptions au sein de grands ensembles politiques et culturels (Inde, Japon, Etats-Unis, Amérique latine) ainsi que d'éclairer, par des coups de projecteurs exemplaires, quelques-uns des phénomènes structurants de cette mondialisation (mobilité et mise en réseaux des personnes, des marchandises, des entreprises, des informations et des pratiques culturelles). Comme outil de travail, cet ouvrage ouvre des pistes réflexives sur des problématiques géographiques renouvelées et fournit, par des thématiques développées, de très nombreux exemples et arguments pour penser " géographiquement " la mondialisation.[Source : 4ème de couv.]

The French Challenge
Author: Philip H. Gordon
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 9780815798651
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
In August 1999 a forty-six-year-old sheep farmer name José Bové was arrested for dismantling the construction site of a new McDonald's restaurant in the south of France. A few months later Bové built on his fame by smuggling huge chunks of Roquefort cheese into Seattle, where he was among the leaders of the antiglobalization protests against the World Trade Organization summit. Bové's crusade against globalization helped provoke a debate both within France and beyond about the pros and cons of a world in which financial, commercial, human, cultural, and technology flows move faster and more extensively than ever before. As the French struggle to preserve the country's identity, heritage, and distinctiveness, they are nonetheless adapting to a new economy and an interdependent world. This book deals with France's effort to adapt to globalization and its consequences for France's economy, cultural identity, domestic politics, and foreign relations. The authors begin by analyzing the structural transformation of the French economy, driven first by liberalization within the European Union and more recently by globalization. By examining a wide variety of possible measures of globalization and liberalization, the authors conclude that the French economy's adaptation has been far reaching and largely successful, even if French leaders prefer to downplay the extent of these changes in response to political pressures and public opinion. They call this adaptation "globalization by stealth." The authors also examine the relationship between trade, culture, and identity and explain why globalization has rendered the three inseparable. They show how globalization is contributing to the restructuring of the traditional French political spectrum and blurring the traditional differences between left and right. Finally, they explore France's effort to tame globalization—maîtriser la mondialisation—and the possible consequences and lessons of the French s

Qu'est-ce que la mondialisation ?
Author: Charles-Albert Michalet
Publisher:
ISBN: 9782707142207
Category : Globalization
Languages : fr
Pages : 211
Book Description
Qu'est-ce que la mondialisation ? Selon que l'on est pour ou contre, les réponses varient : intensification vertueuse des échanges et intégration des économies nationales pour les uns, accélération néfaste de la circulation des capitaux spéculatifs et uniformisation des cultures pour les autres. Réponses partielles, souvent partiales et, finalement, trop simples. Pour comprendre la mondialisation et contribuer à corriger ses dangers, une approche historique s'impose. Car le phénomène, plus ancien qu'on ne croit, est indissociable de la dynamique du capitalisme, dont les formes se sont considérablement transformées depuis un siècle et demi : des configurations dominantes - internationale, multinationale, globale - se sont succédé, tout en se combinant. C'est cette approche novatrice que présente Charles-Albert Michalet, spécialiste reconnu de la question, dans cet essai qui rend intelligible et accessible à tous le caractère complexe de la mondialisation. Il explique en quoi la " configuration globale " aujourd'hui dominante, celle de la rentabilité financière et du néo-libéralisme, est fragile. Et ce que pourraient être les bases d'une " nouvelle gouvernance ", permettant d'éviter les effets pervers d'une concurrence effrénée, de freiner le développement des inégalités et de réduire l'angoisse de ceux qui ont peur d'être exclus...

Western Privilege
Author: Amélie Le Renard
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 1503629244
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
Nearly 90 percent of residents in Dubai are foreigners with no Emirati nationality. As in many global cities, those who hold Western passports share specific advantages: prestigious careers, high salaries, and comfortable homes and lifestyles. With this book, Amélie Le Renard explores how race, gender and class backgrounds shape experiences of privilege, and investigates the processes that lead to the formation of Westerners as a social group. Westernness is more than a passport; it is also an identity that requires emotional and bodily labor. And as they work, hook up, parent, and hire domestic help, Westerners chase Dubai's promise of socioeconomic elevation for the few. Through an ethnography informed by postcolonial and feminist theory, Le Renard reveals the diverse experiences and trajectories of white and non-white, male and female Westerners to understand the shifting and contingent nature of Westernness—and also its deep connection to whiteness and heteronormativity. Western Privilege offers a singular look at the lived reality of structural racism in cities of the global South.

Mobility and Geographical Scales
Author: Guillame Drevon
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1394229011
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
The concept of mobility has grown enormously over the last two decades. A large part of the social sciences has been interested in the different forms of mobility, from a wide variety of spatial and temporal scales. This book presents the different spatial and temporal scales of mobility and the way in which they form a system, by associating them with essential and original research objects. It provides an in-depth review of scientific knowledge, a perspective on major societal issues, analytical tools and a discussion on the main current academic debates. The authors highlight the need to take into account both the spatial and temporal scales of mobility in order to address contemporary environmental and societal issues. The book invites us to think about the entanglement of these different scales from the analysis of rhythms by founding a rhythmology of contemporary mobilities.

Anthropologica
The EU's Government of Worker Mobility
Author: Hélène Michel
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000782115
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
This book brings together the expertise of economists, legal scholars, political scientists, and sociologists in order to integrate diverse perspectives and a broad range of analytical tools in the conceptualisation of labour mobility. It examines how variably the question of labour mobility has translated into the policies, laws, and norms through which the EU as a whole is governed. The contributions focus on the actors – European and national officials, experts, trade union and employers’ organisations – and on instruments implemented by institutions and political organisations – European Agency, coordination systems, European Job Mobility Portal (EURES) – to increase and support mobility within the European Union. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of European/EU studies, migration studies, labour studies, political sociology, and more broadly to comparative politics.
