Humanitarian Imperialism: Using Human Rights to Sell War
Bricmont, J. (2006). Humanitarian imperialism: Using human rights to sell war. New York: Monthly Review Press. Preface to the English Edition Two sorts of sentiments inspire political action: hope and indignation. This book is largely the product of the latter sentiment, but the aim of its publication is to encourage the former. A brief and subjective overview of the political evolution of the past twenty years can explain the source of my indignation. The collapse of the Soviet Union can be compared to the fall of Napoleon. Both were the product of major revolutions whose ideals they symbolized, rightly or wrongly, and which they defended more or less effectively while betraying them in various ways. If their natures were complex, the consequences of their fall were relatively simple and led to a general triumph of reaction, with the United Stales today playing a role analogous to that of the Holy Alliance nearly two centuries ago.1 There is no need to be an admirer of the Soviet Union (or of Napoleon) to make this observation. My generation, that of 1968, wanted to overcome the shortcomings of the Soviet system, but certainly did not mean to take the great leap backwards which actually took place and to which, in its overwhelming majority, it has easily adapted.2 A discussion of the causes of these failures would require several books. Suffice it to say that for all sorts of reasons, some of which will be touched on in what follows, I did not follow the evolution of the majority of my generation and have preserved what it would call my youthful illusions, at least some of them. -

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. -
PDF the Rise of the Front National
Europe Program 2017 | No.01 THE RISE OF THE FRONT NATIONAL Taking Stock of Ten Years of French Mainstream Politics MARTIN QUENCEZ AND MARTIN MICHELOT FOREWORD BY TIMO LOCHOCKI THE RISE OF THE FRONT NATIONAL Taking Stock of Ten Years of French Mainstream Politics 2017 | No.01 MARTIN QUENCEZ AND MARTIN MICHELOT FOREWORD BY TIMO LOCHOCKI SUMMARY: The growing influence of the Front National (FN) in French politics and the explanations for its success are playing a pivotal role in the upcoming 2017 French elections. Favorable economic and political contexts and a successful rebranding of the party are often emphasized to explain the current situation. However, the role of mainstream parties, and especially that of the two previous failed presidencies, has been largely underestimated. This paper argues that although Marine Le Pen’s internal strategy to transform the party’s image and to design a coherent anti-liberal project has increased its influence in the French political landscape, its seemingly unstoppable rise is best understood by the ability of the FN to take advantage of four key conditions. First, its anti-establishment discourse has thrived due to the general lack of clear political alternatives; second, anti- liberal promises made by mainstream parties have not been delivered; third, the FN has managed to appear as a victim of the media system; finally, the depreciation of the presidential function during the last ten years has weakened the traditional bipartisanism and helped the FN emerge as a credible alternative. Even if the FN is does not come to power in this election, it is likely to become the main menace in the French political system during the next presidency. -

Western Europe
Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs A STRANGE DICHOTOMY marked the year. While the country enjoyed continued prosperity and stability, the government—especially Prime Minister Tony Blair—incurred increasing unpopularity, albeit not to a degree that would threaten Labour's continuance in office. The sustained growth of the economy and low interest rates softened the impact of tax increases on disposable income, although opinion polls did register discontent, particularly over local taxation. Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown's pre-budget report in December indicated that receipts were lower than anticipated while costs associated with the Iraq war had pushed spending above expectations. Nevertheless, Brown adhered to his "golden rule" that over the economic cycle the government should borrow only to invest. Employment reached a record high of 28.1 million, and the number of people applying for unemployment benefits dropped steadily, reaching 917,800 in November, 7,900 lower than a year before. High employment raised the threat of wage inflation. The burden of interest payments on the growing public debt raised similar concerns. In July, interest rates were cut a quarter-percent to 3.50 percent to stim- ulate the economy, but in December this was reversed for the first time in almost four years; rates went back up to 3.75 percent so as to coun- teract the danger of rises in house prices and personal debt. Politically, satisfaction with the government continued to decline from its peak of about 55 percent just after 9/11 to about 25 percent in De- cember 2003. The results of local elections held in May registered the po- litical fallout: Labour lost a combined 800 seats, and the Conservatives, winning the largest share of the vote, gained about 500. -
Daniel COLARD (*)
LES RELATIONS INTERNATIONALES VINGT ANS APRÈS LA CHUTE DU MUR DE BERLIN (1989-2009) par Daniel COLARD (*) «Qu’est-ce que le présent sinon la pointe extrême d’un long écoulement où chaque vague dépend dans son mouvement… des autres vagues voisines qui l’enserrent et la pressent, mais aussi de celles qui derrière l’ont poussé en avant.» Marc Bloch, Que demander à l’Histoire? «Il n’est pas besoin d’aimer le monde qui vient pour le voir venir.» François de Chateaubriand Remarques liminaires sur le facteur temps et la chronologie La durée, donc l’histoire marquée par la chronologie, joue un rôle essen- tiel dans le domaine des relations internationales (RI). La nécessité du recul pour comprendre et juger une période – ici 1989-2009 – est indispensable. Or, il se trouve que le temps chronologique ne coïncide pas souvent avec le temps politique. En d’autres termes, il y a des siècles qui sont longs (le XIXe siècle : 1814-1914) et des siècles qui sont courts (le XXe siècle : 1919- 1989). La chute du Mur de Berlin – le Mur de la honte (1) –, le 9 novembre 1989, a clôturé la fin du XXe siècle avec celle de la Guerre froide, c’est-à-dire du monde bipolaire. Cet événement aussi extraordinaire qu’inattendu, voire quasi-miraculeux car le sang n’a pas coulé, a été successivement qualifié de choc, de tsunami, de séisme géopolitique et géostratégique ou encore de bas- culement du monde, de bouleversement de l’histoire, de rupture complète du système des RI (2). «Annus miraculis» : «l’histoire est sortie de ses gonds», a dit Mikhaïl Gorbatchev et Adam Michnik a parlé d’«une révolution sans violence, sans utopie, sans projet, mais victorieuse». -
Political Articulations of the Memory of the Algerian War in France
Morin, PM 2020 Cultural Insecurities and the Desire for Separation: Political Articulations of the Memory of the Algerian War in France. Modern Languages Open, 2020(1): 29 pp. 1–13. DOI: https://doi.org/10.3828/mlo.v0i0.325 GLOBAL CRISIS IN MEMORY Cultural Insecurities and the Desire for Separation: Political Articulations of the Memory of the Algerian War in France Paul Max Morin Sciences Po, FR [email protected] French colonization and the consequent War of Independence in Algeria have marked contemporary French society deeply in numerous ways. For decades, the history and memories of these events have been described as ‘padlocked’ by the state. Since the 2000s, academics have observed an increase in the political use of memory. While the literature has often employed psychoanalytical concepts to interpret this resurgence of the repressed, I argue that these readings are in fact designed to be present incursions into the past, serving to legitimate contem- porary political projects. This is because new political actors and projects have emerged defending certain visions of the past in order to bolster present ambi- tions. In recent years, France has also experienced a rise of both far-right national- ist movements and Islamism. These radical formations continue to instrumentalize the history and memories of colonization and the war in Algeria to legitimate their discourses. In a fast-changing world, radical groups promote the rehabilitation of a reassuring past in which racial hierarchies and endogamy are associated with prestige and stability. I contend that while radical elements develop discourses bearing on the past, they thrive on the cultural insecurities of today’s youth and thereby contribute to the reification of identities. -

Batı Kamuoyu, AKP‑IŞİD İlişkileri Ve Kürt Sorunu
Batı Kamuoyu, AKP‑IŞİD İlişkileri ve Kürt Sorunu Taner Timur, Ankara Üniversitesi, Siyasal Bilgiler Fakültesi emekli öğretim üyesi, e-posta: [email protected] Geçen yıl Ekim ayında Fransız Başbakanı Manuel Valls, ülkelerinin tarihte benzeri görülmemiş bir tehlikeyle karşı karşıya olduğunu söylüyor ve bu tehlikeyi de “bazı Fransızların, gerekirse kendi ülkelerini vurmak için terör eğitimi almak üzere dış ülkelere gitmeleri”nde görüyordu.1 Çok geçmeden de bu kaygısında ne kadar haklı olduğu anlaşıldı: 7 Ocak 2015’te, iki İslamcı terörist Charlie Hebdo bürosunu basıyor ve Fransa’nın en popüler mizahçılarını katlediyordu. Bu iğrenç cinayet sadece Fransa’da değil, bütün dünyada büyük tepkiler yarattı ve gözler IŞİD adlı kanlı yapıya çevrildi. ABD’nin Irak’ı işgalinin yarattığı anarşi ortamı, sonunda bölgedeki tüm kin ve intikam duygularını cihat bayrağı altında toplamış ve dünyaya meydan okuyan bir “İslam Devleti” ortaya çıkmıştı. Öyle ki İran’ın mollaları dahi bu yeni cihatçılar karşısında çok “ılımlı” görünüyorlardı. Ve varılan noktada da, IŞİD radikalizmi, Obama ile Putin’i bile bu tehlikeye karşı nesnel müttefikler haline getirdi. Rus uçakları Suriye’de Cihatçı hedefleri bombalamaya başlayınca, ABD Dışişleri Bakanı John Kerry “Rusya’nın bu meseleye odaklanmayı seçmesinden memnunuz” diyordu.2 Binlerce kilometre uzaktaki ülkeleri bile bu kadar ürküten bu cinayet şebekesine karşı, onunla sınır komşusu Türkiye’nin izlediği politika ne oldu? Bölgedeki gelişmeleri yakından izleyen hemen bütün gözlemciler IŞİD’in bu hale gelmesinde AKP iktidarının rol oynadığını, ya da en azından sınır kontrolünde çok gevşek davranarak bu gelişmeye zemin hazırladığını düşünüyorlar. Neden olarak da Erdoğan’ın Müslüman Kardeşler eksenli politikasının iflas etmesini ve bu iflasın katılaştırdığı Esad düşmanlığını ileri sürüyorlar. -
