Effort s begin t o salvage WT O deal C R I T I C S ' P I C K S : N I G H T O F T H E L I V I N G D E A D GENEVA: As efforts begin to salvage a deal from the wreckage of last month's global trade talks, experts say the first task is to untangle the confusion around a farm safeguard that became a stumbling block. The World Trade Organization's director general, Pascal Lamy, said the talks, now in their seventh year, were near agreement on 90 percent of the agenda, especially in the B L O G A R C H I V E core areas of agriculture and industrial goods. For many WTO members, it would be frustrating to discard that progress ► 2009 (2) because of a dispute about a technical but important measure ▼ 2008 (349) to help poor farmers withstand a flood of imports. ► December (18) "Almost everything was right for a conclusion when we had ► November (30) this impasse between the United States and India," the ► October (31) president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, said Thursday in Beijing. "If we don't get back to the talks, and if we don't clinch ► September (31) a deal in the coming months, it will take four or five years ▼ August (29) more, and that would be a huge loss for everyone."

He said there was no point bringing 200... ministers back together until such issues like the safeguard A Place in the Auvergne, had been sorted out. But trade diplomats point to several Wednesday, 27th August factors suggesting that the negotiations, part of the so-called 20... Doha round of talks, could be resumed soon even if a final deal must wait until after the U.S. elections: Tuesday, 26th August 2008 The U.S. trade representative, Susan Schwab, emphasized Monday, 25th August 2008 after the talks collapsed that U.S. offers remained on the table.

Rice has never been a popular food in Romania, where wheat Thursday, 7th August 2008 and corn are major crops. But Ceausescu was known to like Wednesday, 6th August risotto, and, according to a cook who prepared food for him at 2008 a hunting lodge in the Carpathian Mountains, he often enjoyed Tuesday, 5th August 2008 a bowl of rice pudding.

  • Nicolas Sarkozy – Charyzmatyczny Pragmatyk Czy Populista W Nowym Stylu?
    VIII: 2011 nr 4 Tomasz Młynarski NICOLAS SARKOZY – CHARYZMATYCZNY PRAGMATYK CZY POPULISTA W NOWYM STYLU? Wprowadzenie Celem artykułu jest próba analizy na przykładzie polityki Nicolasa Sarkozy’ego, na ile populistyczne zachowania i gesty oraz retoryka polityczna, są narzędziem utrzymania władzy oraz pozyskania poparcia społecznego. Sarkozy zgłaszając swoją kandydaturę 30 listopada 2006 r. do wyborów prezydenckich, jasno po- wiedział, że chce zmiany Francji, francuskiej polityki europejskiej i zagranicznej, ograniczenia rosnącego bezrobocia, inflacji i przywilejów socjalnych. Autor na przykładzie polityki Sarkozy’ego próbuje odpowiedzieć, czy bo- gaty w chwytliwe hasła i emocjonalne treści język, stał się językiem współczesnej komunikacji politycznej czy skuteczną metodą kreowania medialnego wizerunku polityka i wzrostu popularności. Na ile konieczność stałego dostosowywania się do nowych sytuacji i formułowania, trudnych, czasem przesadnych obietnic, jest działaniem populistycznym, a na ile wyrazem politycznej determinacji zmian. Na ile chwytliwe hasła, które coraz mocniej skupiają uwagę elektoratu, służą realizacji rzeczywistych zmian zgodnie z interesem państwa, na ile zaś stają się tylko uży- tecznym instrumentem prowadzenia bieżącej polityki zgodnej z oczekiwaniami społecznymi. 154 TOMASZ MŁYNARSKI Nicolas Sarkozy – objęcie władzy i nadzieje Obejmując urząd prezydenta V Republiki w maju 2007 r.

  • From Sarkozy to Hollande: the New Normal?
    From Sarkozy to Hollande: The New Normal? Alistair Cole (Cardiff University, UK), Sophie Meunier (Princeton University, US) and Vincent Tiberj (Sciences Po, Paris, France Paoper presented to the Annual Conference of the Political Studies Association, Cardiff, 25-27 March 2013 1 The overall aim of the Developments in series, form which this paper is drawn, is to provide an integrated and systematic assessment of current trends, drawing on the latest research but with sufficient background to make the book accessible for readers without a detailed knowledge of French politics. Two central questions guide the present volume. First, is there still a “French exception”, a uniquely French path to identity and globalization - if there ever was? And second, did the presidencies of Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande represent mostly rupture or continuity with French political and cultural traditions? To answer these questions, rather than identifying a single encompassing theme, the book sets out to capture the past decade or so of French politics across five main dimensions: the core political and institutional evolutions; processes of partisanship, citizenship, communication and mediation; political attitudes and elections; domestic policy reforms and the multi-level, regional and international contexts. Though there is no overarching conclusion to this volume, the key approach underpinning most chapters is one of France’s contingent governance --the country caught between converging economic, European and international pressures and the robust defence of a particular model of republican integration. The main purpose of the introductory chapter on which this paper is based is to provide a temporally specific overview that integrates the five dimensions mentioned above and contributes to our understanding of the evolution of the French polity.

  • Saturation Mémorielle ? Les Caricatures Autour De La Proposition De Nicolas Sarkozy Sur Le Parrainage Des 11 000 Enfants Victimes De La Shoah Par Des Élèves De CM2
    Saturation mémorielle ? Les caricatures autour de la proposition de Nicolas Sarkozy sur le parrainage des 11 000 enfants victimes de la Shoah par des élèves de CM2 Agnès Sandras-Fraysse Le 13 février 2008, Nicolas Sarkozy annonce, lors du dîner annuel du CRIF, que « chaque année, à partir de la rentrée scolaire 2008, tous les enfants de CM2 se verront confier la mémoire d’un des 11 000 enfants français victimes de la Shoah ». Ce propos a pour conséquence un large tollé médiatique dans lequel les caricatures tiennent une place centrale. Non seulement Charlie Hebdo y consacre sa une, mais la plupart des journaux et de nombreux blogs ont recours au dessin humoristique pour illustrer la déclaration présidentielle. Contrairement aux photographies d’enfants victimes, entraînant une compassion pouvant bénéficier à l’idée de Nicolas Sarkozy, les caricatures permettent d’orchestrer un charivari, dans le prolongement direct du chahut déjà bien entamé par les humoristes envers Sarkozy. Composées d’éléments textuels et visuels signifiants, dont l’assemblage est supposé déclencher l’identification, le décodage, puis le sourire et le rire, ces images sont riches d’enseignements. Sous couvert de donner à rire d’un homme politique dont l’initiative choque la majeure partie de l’opinion, les dessinateurs vont en effet produire une iconographie qui, en dehors de ce contexte, aurait immédiatement suscité l’indignation. Le charivari qui s’organise autour de la proposition de Nicolas Sarkozy puise ses racines dans le climat politique du moment et s’articule autour de la vie privée de l’homme. Dix jours plus tôt, le Président épouse en troisièmes noces Carla Bruni, ex-mannequin et chanteuse ; la soudaineté de leur mariage, leur différence d’âge et de taille et la profession de la première dame de France vont susciter des références carnavalesques.

Rust, Chair The school, France’s traditional vehicle for integrating diverse populations into a national culture and fostering civic participation, has encountered difficulties in fulfilling its central mission as demographic shifts have given rise to competing conceptions of religious, cultural, ethnic, political and national identity. For French society the relevance and adequacy of a universal, liberal, assimilationist approach to integration has come into question. On ii pedagogical and curricular levels, an impersonal “banking model” of instruction and inflexible respect of disciplinary boundaries have impeded civic empowerment. Rooted in the emancipatory and progressive educational theories of Paulo Freire and John Dewey and the multicultural theories of James Banks, this study examines spaces in contemporary France, inside the school and out, where youth of diverse backgrounds are engaging in transformative citizenship education.

  • Le LICENCIEMENT De Siné
    48 CONTROVER ESS dossier I Le LICENCIEMENT de Siné Jean-Pierre Bensimon Professeur de sciences sociales, consul- tant en organisation, président d’une asso- ciation dédiée à la défense contre la dés- information. E n ce début d’été 2008, alors que de nombreux parisiens sont en vacances, une violente polémique enfle. Elle est amorcée par une intervention indignée de Claude Askolovitch sur les ondes de RTL, gagne le milieu des intellectuels et des média, rattrape les grandes associations antiracistes et les politiques, déchire furieusement les blogs et les forums, déclenche pétitions et contre pétitions. Elle aboutit en fin de compte à la naissance d’un nouveau journal satirique, Siné Hebdo. Le prétexte de la polémique est le licenciement de Siné, collaborateur de Char- lie Hebdo depuis une quinzaine d’années. Ce dernier a publié le 2 juillet dans le journal son billet habituel, sa bordée hebdomadaire contre Nicolas Sarkozy, qu’il exècre de toute son âme, vidant avec lui une querelle toujours recom- mencée. Il s’en prend cette fois au père à travers le fils, Jean Sarkozy. Dans la même chronique, il tient aussi à dire son indignation contre Christophe Barbier, le directeur de publication de L’Express, qui vient de publier un dossier qui lui déplait sur l’Islam. L’accès de fièvre qui suit le licenciement, petit drame entre amis de l’actualité hexagonale où chacun est dans son rôle, n’a rien d’un véri- table évènement. Mais voila, Siné a été licencié car il a refusé les excuses que lui demandait son journal pour le parfum diablement antisémite de son billet.

Antonio| Thèse de doctorat | juin 2014 Pourquoi dédier une Thèse de Doctorat à la communication politique de Nicolas Sarkozy ? On peut considérer qu’il a déjà assez fait parler de lui-même. Cependant, si de nombreux commentaires ont été faits à ce sujet et si les analyses sont également nombreuses, j’ai voulu procéder à une analyse globale me permettant de comprendre essentiellement deux choses. D’une part, comment un citoyen, qui a priori n’avait pas beaucoup de chances de devenir président de la République, a réussi à s’imposer de façon assez extraordinaire dans le paysage politique français avec un parcours si atypique. D’autre part je me suis intéressé aux méthodes et aux conséquences de ce succès sur le plan de la communication politique mais aussi sur le plan politique en lui-même.

  • A Test of the “News Diversity” Standard: Single Frames, Multiple
    HIJXXX10.1177/1940161216673194The International Journal of Press/PoliticsBeattie and Milojevich 673194research-article2016 Article The International Journal of Press/Politics 2017, Vol. 22(1) 3 –22 A Test of the “News © The Author(s) 2016 Reprints and permissions: Diversity” Standard: Single sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1940161216673194 Frames, Multiple Frames, and ijpp.sagepub.com Values Regarding the Ukraine Conflict Peter Beattie1* and Jovan Milojevich1* Abstract The present study adds to the framing literature by providing a test of Mauro Porto’s “News Diversity” standard for professional journalism: providing multiple, equally persuasive frames in every news story. What are the effects of multiple versus single media frames on a foreign policy issue, and how do they interact with people’s foreign policy values? Previous studies have looked at how single frames influence opinions, how frames interact with values, and a few studies have investigated the effects of two competing frames at varying levels of persuasiveness. None, however, have used four, equally strong frames on a foreign policy issue and measured their effects among those with differing foreign policy values. We found that exposure to only single frames tended to move participants away from their stated values and in the direction of the frame, while exposure to multiple, competing frames kept participants’ opinions closer to their stated values—without merely reinforcing previously held opinions. Keywords Eastern Europe, foreign news, journalistic norms, media framing, media effects, political attitudes Late in 2013, a crisis was brewing in Ukraine. Then-president Viktor Yanukovych had pulled back from plans for further integration with the EU and strengthened ties with Russia instead.

  • Carignon Est Encore Dans La Cuvette
    Carignon est encore dans la cuvette Il est peu de sentiments aussi lugubres, humiliants et déconcertants que de tirer sans fin une chasse d’eau, sans pouvoir se débarrasser d’un étron tenace et narquois. On éprouve ce sentiment avec chaque photo ou déclaration d’Alain Carignon dans Le Daubé. Voici un repris de justice, résidant entre Paris et Marrakech, la ville des sybarites et touristes sexuels, sans moyen d’existence connu, qui arrive encore à diriger localement le parti majoritaire et à troubler la vie politique grenobloise sans qu’aucun journaliste ne lui demande d’où viennent ses revenus, ni où il demeure exactement. A défaut, voici un retour sur la carrière d’Alain Carignon, sur ses liens avec Nicolas Sarkozy et Brice Hortefeux, et – qui sait ? – sur le rôle qu’il a joué dans la promotion de Grenoble au rang de laboratoire sécuritaire national. Quel est le point commun entre une dette de 250 000 euros au conseil général de l’Isère, un repas culturel avec Nicolas Sarkozy et Fabrice Luchini, et la récente mise sous tutelle de la fédération iséroise de l’UMP ? Bingo ! Il s’agit d’Alain Carignon, bien entendu ! Avoir un rôle dans des affaires aussi (a)variées, c’est impressionnant n’est-ce pas ? C’est que Carignon est un renard politique hors du commun. Ne dit-on pas dans le langage populaire que « ça renarde » quand s’exhale une forte odeur de pourriture ? Étudions donc l’histoire et les évolutions récentes de cet animal. Années 1960 Carignon, né en 1949 et résidant à Saint-Martin-d’Hères, fait ses premières armes politiques en conspuant les jeunes de son âge lors des « évènements » de Mai 68 et en clamant une admiration éperdue au Général.
