Brève Histoire De La Pros Tu On
Fiche théma+que du Brève histoire CRIDES de la pros0tuon janvier 2004 préparé par Carole Wahnoun COURTISANE ET SON CLIENT, PÉLIKÉ ATTIQUE À FIGURES ROUGES DE POLYGNOTE, V. 430 AV. J.-C., MUSÉE NATIONAL ARCHÉOLOGIQUE D'ATHÈNES 1 LES DÉBUTS : L'HOSPITALITÉ SEXUELLE ET LA PROSTITUTION SACRÉE Il n'est pas certain que la prostitution soit "le plus vieux métier du monde" ; durant la colonisation, les Européens la feront admettre. Il existait toutefois, dans certaines sociétés primitives européennes, une prostitution liée à la notion d'hospitalité : les différentes femmes de la maison sont offertes aux hô- tes de passage. Cette coutume existait en Chaldée, en Inde, en Egypte et dans tout l'Orient. Parfois même, l'hospitalité sexuelle implique un aspect religieux que les prêtres de certaines divinités organi- sent et dont ils bénéficient. Les prostituées sacrées n'étaient pas toutes considérées de la même fa- çon et certaines spécialisaient leurs tâches en fonction de ce qui était décidé chez les grands prê- tres. Pourtant la prostitution s'est bientôt réduite à un rituel sexuel prenant son vrai visage durant les Saturnales et autres orgies à caractère religieux. Aussi, bien que le rite demeure, la prostitution de- vient un phénomène social et commence à se désacraliser. En plus de la prostitution sacrée, les grandes courtisanes existèrent en Orient, non seulement en Inde, mais aussi en Birmanie et en Corée et surtout au Japon. En Chine si, au départ, les prostituées ressemblaient aux hétaïres grecques, la prostitution s'y organise très vite commercialement. Chez les Hébreux et les Musulmans, elle fut toujours considérée avec répulsion et n'était pratiquée que par les étrangères ou les esclaves. -

La Règle Du Jeu: France and the Paradox of Managed Globalization
La Règle du Jeu: France and the Paradox of Managed Globalization Rawi Abdelal Sophie Meunier Harvard Business School Princeton University [email protected] [email protected] To be presented at the Tenth Biennial Conference of the European Union Studies Association, Montreal, Canada, May 17‐19, 2007. We would like to thank Matthew Baldwin, Pascal Lamy, and Hubert Védrine for sharing their views with us. Thanks also to Suzanne Berger, Jean‐Francois Brakeland, Peter Katzenstein, and Nicolas Véron for their comments on an earlier version of this paper. All errors, of course, remain ours. A previous version of this paper was presented at the 2006 Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association, August 30th‐September 3, 2006. La Règle du Jeu: France and the Paradox of Managed Globalization Abstract Globalization is often portrayed as a tidal wave that originated in the US and its policy of laissez‐faire liberalization. This paper argues, however, that globalization is not made only by striking down regulations, but also by making them. During the 1980s, French policy makers began to develop the doctrine of “managed globalization,” or what World Trade Organization (WTO) head Pascal Lamy calls today “globalization by the rules.” Central to the doctrine has been the French – and European – effort to make rules and build the capacity of international organizations such as the European Union (EU), Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and WTO. These organizations then would have the authority to govern commercial and financial globalization. These organizations, however, have also used this capacity to promote liberalization. -

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Janet Beizer Jessica Leigh Tanner Mapping Prostitution: Sex, Space, Taxonomy in the Fin-de-siècle French Novel Abstract This dissertation examines representations of prostitution in male-authored French novels from the later nineteenth century. It proposes that prostitution has a map, and that realist and naturalist authors appropriate this cartography in the Second Empire and early Third Republic to make sense of a shifting and overhauled Paris perceived to resist mimetic literary inscription. Though always significant in realist and naturalist narrative, space is uniquely complicit in the novel of prostitution due to the contemporary policy of reglementarism, whose primary instrument was the mise en carte: an official registration that subjected prostitutes to moral and hygienic surveillance, but also “put them on the map,” classifying them according to their space of practice (such as the brothel or the boulevard). -

Mr Alain Madelin
FRENCH CANDIDATE FOR THE POST OF SECRETARY-GENERAL Mr Alain Madelin Alain Madelin is a lawyer. Alain Madelin has held a range of key ministerial posts at the highest level, covering many areas of the economy. He has been Minister for Economics and Finance, Minister of Business and Economic Development, Small and Medium- sized Enterprises, Trade and Craft Industries; and Minister of Industry, Postal Services and Telecommunications and Tourism. He has been a Member of the French Parliament since 1978 (re-elected in 1981, 1986, 1988, 1993, 1995 and 2002). Alain Madelin has always been known as a staunch defender of democratic and economic freedom, of free trade and of the social market economy. In his view, those who are prosperous help create prosperity for those who are less so. He believes, moreover, that social progress is inseparable from the search for greater economic efficiency. His wide experience of comparative economic systems in developed countries has enabled him to identify and point to where economic reforms are required. At the same time Alain Madelin has been much influenced by the ‘public choice’ school of economic thought: thus he has always been concerned in how to implement these reforms by gaining the widest base of public support. - In France In his role as a government Minister, Alain Madelin contributed significantly to the first French privatisation programme - implemented in 1986, and to the deregulation of telecommunication and power companies. As Minister for the Economy and Finance, he contributed to the introduction of the euro, by launching, in 1995, a recurring annual programme for the reduction of public deficits. -
Responsive to Whom? a Comparison of the Mitterrand and Hollande Presidencies
Responsive to whom? A comparison of the Mitterrand and Hollande presidencies Koen Damhuis (corresponding author) European University Institute [email protected] Johannes Karremans European University Institute [email protected] Acknowledgments: This article was presented during the workshop on electoral coalitions and their analytical implications at the European University Institute, 13–14 June 2016. We would like to thank the participants for their constructive feedback. We would also like to thank three anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments and suggestions. Of course, any errors remain our own. 1 Abstract This article investigates the responsiveness of the Parti socialiste towards specific social groups under the Hollande and Mitterrand presidencies. It thereby contributes to the discussion on the changing representativeness of social-democratic parties in Western Europe. The study is based on a content analysis of the governments’ justifications for the annual budget. With this innovative approach it is possible to assess whether the responsiveness of a party persists at the governmental level. Through an inductive coding procedure, three categories of responsive justifications are discerned: inequality reduction, needs of specific social groups and general functioning of society. In line with its title, the article mainly focuses on the second category, identifying a shift from responsiveness to the low-income classes towards responsiveness to the middle classes. Furthermore, a corresponding transformation of the Parti socialiste is observed, from advocating expansive policies in the early 1980s to justifying restrictive policies today. 2 1. Introduction In the spring of 2012, the French Parti socialiste won both the presidential and the legislative elections (with 51.64% and 49.93% of the votes respectively), and François Hollande became the first socialist president since 1995. -
