OUVERTURE Jean-Pierre RAOULT Commission Nationale Consultative des Droits de l’Homme, Association Maurice Audin Résumé : J’ouvre cette journée d’étude en tant que membre de son comité d’organisation. J’en retracerai brièvement l’origine et le caractère pluridisciplinaire. J’expliquerai pourquoi elle n’est qu’une étape dans un processus de reconnaissance et d’analyse politique et hsitorique, qui doit connaître de nouveaux développeemnts Abstract : I am introducing this day in my capacity of member of its organizing committee. I will briefly describe its origin and its multidisciplinary nature. I will explain why it is nothing but a step in a process of recognition and of political and historical analysis, which is to be continued. Mots-clés : Histoire, justice, archives Keywords : History, justice, archives J’ouvre cette journée d’étude en tant que membre de son comité d’organisation. Dans la ligne de la vocation pluridisciplinaire de cette rencontre, celui-ci comprenait deux juristes, Catherine Teitgen-Colly et Emamnuel Decaux, un historien, Gilles Manceron, une archiviste, Caroline Piketty et moi, Jean-Pierre Raoult, qui ne suis rien de tout cela mais dont la légitimité ici tient à mon appartenance à l’association Maurice Audin. Je suis heureux que les premiers contacts qui ont abouti à cette réalisation se soient noués entre membres de la CNCDH (Commission nationale consultative des droits de l’homme) dont le président, Jean-Marie Delarue, nous fait l’honneur de présider une session, et dont je suis membre en tant que repésentant du MRAP (Mouvement contre le racisme et pour l’amitié entre les peuples). Cette journée d’étude est soutenue par les grandes associations de défense des droits de l’homme, l’association des archivistes français et les institutions culturelles et universitaires qui figurent sur le programme (d’autres s’y sont ajoutées, comme le CREDOF, Centre de recherche et d’étude des droits fondamentaux de l’université Paris 10). Pour moi cette journée, pour originale que soit sa conception, consistant en regards croisés sur les disparitions durant la guerre d’Algérie du fait des forces de l’ordre françaises, en élargissant les points de vue sur ces crimes, n’est qu’une étape. Qui dit étape dit tout d’abord considération des recherches et études critiques antérieures et il faut rappeler ici l’existence d’une historiographie abondante qui prend sa source dès l’époque de la guerre d’indépendance de l’Algérie, grâce à ceux 6 Les disparus de la guerre d’Algérie du fait des forces de l’ordre françaises. Vérité et justice ? qui, tel particulièment Pierre Vidal-Naquet, se sont engagés pour cette oeuvre, ont pris des risques et ont souvent subi des sanctions. Mais qui dit étape dit aussi regard vers l’avenir, certains que nous sommes que des travaux futurs, amorcés notamment par plusieurs des intervenants de cette journée, pourront prendre de l’ampleur grâce au recueil de témoignages, tels que ceux assurés par le site Histoire coloniale et postconiale, et en s’appuyant sur la dérogation générale à l’ouverture d’archives publiques que le président de la République a dit souhaiter dans son communiqué, il y a un an presque jour pour jour,lors da visite à Josette Audin, et que nous appelons encore de nos vœux, au-delà de l’avancée limitée de l’ouverture, concernant uniquement le cas de Maurice Audin, qui vient d’être accordée. Pour compléter ces quelques mots d’introduction, Gilles Manceron et Fabrice Riceputi vont préciser pour nous l’objet de cette journée, puis Amar Mohand-Amer nous parlera de la question vue d’Algérie et Jean-Charles Bédague interviendra au nom du Service interministériel des archives de France. Cette journée sera entièrement filmée, des montages figureront sur le journal en ligne Mediapart. J’ajoute que nous sommes décidés à publier ses travaux, sur internet ou dans un livre (nous étudions plusieurs possibilités).

  • Coup D'etat Events, 1946-2012

    Coup D'etat Events, 1946-2012

    COUP D’ÉTAT EVENTS, 1946-2015 CODEBOOK Monty G. Marshall and Donna Ramsey Marshall Center for Systemic Peace May 11, 2016 Overview: This data list compiles basic descriptive information on all coups d’état occurring in countries reaching a population greater than 500,000 during the period 1946-2015. For purposes of this compilation, a coup d’état is defined as a forceful seizure of executive authority and office by a dissident/opposition faction within the country’s ruling or political elites that results in a substantial change in the executive leadership and the policies of the prior regime (although not necessarily in the nature of regime authority or mode of governance). Social revolutions, victories by oppositional forces in civil wars, and popular uprisings, while they may lead to substantial changes in central authority, are not considered coups d’état. Voluntary transfers of executive authority or transfers of office due to the death or incapacitance of a ruling executive are, likewise, not considered coups d’état. The forcible ouster of a regime accomplished by, or with the crucial support of, invading foreign forces is not here considered a coup d’état. The dataset includes four types of coup events: successful coups, attempted (failed) coups, coup plots, and alleged coup plots. In order for a coup to be considered “successful” effective authority must be exercised by new executive for at least one month. We are confident that the list of successful coups is comprehensive. Our confidence in the comprehensiveness of the coup lists diminishes across the remaining three categories: good coverage (reporting) of attempted coups and more questionable quality of coverage/reporting of coup plots (“discovered” and alleged).

  • Preserving Power After Empire: the Credibility Trap and France's

    Preserving Power After Empire: the Credibility Trap and France's

    Preserving Power after Empire: The Credibility Trap and France’s Intervention in Chad, 1968-72 Marc R. DeVore Open Access Copy—Please Do Not Cite Forthcoming in War in History 1 Abstract France’s 1968-72 intervention in Chad constitutes a forgotten turning point in the Fifth Republic’s foreign relations. Inter-connected institutions and treaties gave France a disproportionate influence over its African ex-colonies. French security guarantees underscored this system, however, whereby francophone African leaders continued to accept French economic and political leadership. French leaders discovered in Chad, however, that they had fewer choices and needed to dedicate more resources to fulfilling these commitments than President Charles de Gaulle had intended. Prosperous ex-colonies’ leaders judged French commitments’ value according to how France responded to crises in its least valued ex- colonies. Thus, although French analysts viewed intervening in Chad as irrational from a cost/benefit perspective, they found themselves pressured into doing so by other African governments who let it be known that they would interpret failing to support Chadian President François Tombalbye as a sign that they too could not count on France. Entrapped by prior commitments, French policymakers developed a new approach to using force, which I term strategic satisficing, far different from traditional French counterinsurgency practices. The tightly-coupled application of force and diplomacy in pursuit of limited objectives enables France to intervene with the frequency needed to uphold its post-colonial order in Africa. Introduction France’s role in Africa sets it apart from other states of its size. France is arguably the most politically potent foreign actor in Sub-Saharan Africa even though it is today a medium- sized European state with an economy that only occasionally ranks amongst the world’s top half dozen.

    1 Histoire de la guerre d'indépendance algérienne SYLVIE THÉNAULT À Kahina. Introduction (2012) Avec le XXIe siècle, la France et les Français ont découvert – redécouvert ? – leur histoire coloniale, ou, à tout le Moins, son épisode le plus Marquant par sa durée, son intensité et sa portée : la guerre d'Algérie. Et ce, dans un rapport placé sous le signe de la culpabilité ; en téMoigne le transfert, pour désigner cette guerre, des Métaphores nées de la dénonciation du régiMe de Vichy, « heures sombres », « pages noires » de l'histoire de la France conteMporaine. Le retour sur ce passé a débuté, en 2000-2001, avec la publication à la Une du Monde du téMoignage de Louisette Ighilahriz. Cette Militante de l'indépendance algérienne, qui fut torturée Mais sauvée par un Médecin dont elle connaît le nom, voulait retrouver pour lui dire, enfin, sa reconnaissance. Le débat a ensuite été ponctué par les regrets du général Massu, la reconnaissance de l'usage courant de la torture par le général Aussaresses et les déclarations du général Bigeard, évoquant cette pratique comMe « un Mal nécessaire » dans cette guerre1. Ont suivi quantité de livres, dont les retentissants MéMoires de Paul Aussaresses, des documentaires – notaMMent L'Ennemi intime, de Patrick RotMan, diffusé en prime time sur France 3 –, et MêMe des poursuites judiciaires pour « apologie de criMes de guerre » contre le général Aussaresses, à défaut de qualification juridique plus pertinente pour sanctionner des actes, au-delà des mots. La société a fait écho. Les Français ont été touchés par ce déferleMent de questions, d'accusations, de récits et d'iMages, bien au-delà des cercles directeMent concernés.

Reviewed by Leland Barrows (Voorhees College) Published on H-French-Colonial (January, 2010) Commissioned by Jyoti Mohan Myths and Realities: Conflicting Perceptions of French Colonial History and Postcolonialism Postcolonial studies came later to the Francophone than to the Anglophone world probably because of the trauma associated with much of French decolonization. There was also a felt need in France to come to terms with the Vichy era before turning to the almost as traumatic end of French rule in Algeria. But by the 1990s, French colonial studies were rapidly coming into vogue. The two books under review, Cultured Force, a revisionist history of the French empire that stresses a biographical approach to historical narrative, andMemory, Empire, and Postcolonialism, which publishes the proceedings of an interdisciplinary conference on cultural memory, are good examples of the varied types of writing that the rekindled interest in the French empire is spawning. “Biographical study,” the authors ofCultured Force inform their readers, “provides a relatively painless way to introduce people to an era’s subtleties,”enabling them to develop an awareness of the relativity and the contradictions of received truths, particularly those reflecting the history of modern imperialism and colonialism (p.

Welcome all of you to the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars; my name is Christian Ostermann. I direct one of the programs here at the Woodrow Wilson Center, the Cold War International History Project. The Center is the United States’ official memorial to President Woodrow Wilson and it celebrates, commemorates Woodrow Wilson through a living memorial, that is, we bring scholars from around the world, about 150 each year to the Wilson center to do research and to write. In addition to hosting fellowship programs, the Center hosts 450 meetings each year on a broad array of topics related to international affairs. One of these meetings is taking place today, and it is a very special meeting, as I will explain in a few moments. This meeting is co-sponsored by the Center’s Cold War International History project and 1 the Center’s Africa Program, directed by former Congressman Howard Wolpe. He’s in Burundi as we speak here, but some of his staff will be joining us during the course of the day.

Both Conrad and Camus are considered revisionist imperialists because they are caught in the contradiction between the orthodox Eurocentric view of Empire and their own –rather liberal-humanist. Their malaise lies in their intellectual predicament as well as in their spiritual instability both stemming from their civic status (one is an adopted Briton and the other is a reclaimed Frenchman). I have followed in this comparative study a Postcolonial and a neo-Marxist (Macherey) approach; two approaches that have revealed the political stands of Conrad and Camus. My comparative study is concerned with two of each writer’s fictional works: Heart of Darkness and L’Etranger on the one hand, and Lord Jim and La Chute on the other. In my thesis, I insist on the fact that Conrad and Camus were both fully aware of the negative impact of imperialism.

The ‘Arab spring’ in North Africa has in some cases overturned regimes that have held power for decades. In other cases, authorities have been impelled to embrace more participative modes of governance. Yet conflicts have also been unleashed that are causing widespread bloodshed and suffering. If these dynamics are evident across the continent, West Africa’s politico-security environment certainly seems to defy prediction. Since this research project was launched, Guinea and Niger’s political landscapes have shifted radically from entrenched authoritarian rule to military regimes of exception and now (following successful elections) to fledgling democratic dispensations. By contrast, elections that were meant to heal divisions in Cote d’Ivoire had the opposite effect as Laurent Gbagbo, until forcibly removed, sought illegitimately to hold onto power.
