"Sommes-nous certains de nous comprendre lorsque nous parlons ensemble des mêmes choses avec les mêmes mots ? Certains de savoir toujours ce que nous disons exactement lorsque nous nous exprimons ? Le Dictionnaire des concepts nomades, publié , en 2010 et 2016, avait cherché à répondre à ces questions au croisement de l'histoire conceptuelle et de l'histoire des idées politiques. Or nous vivons une dérégulation sans précédent de cette langue politique : importation continue de termes anglo-saxons, acclimatation du lexique du management au champ politique, multiplication des querelles de mots ou prolifération des néologismes en témoignent. Ces changement peuvent sans doute apporter un renouvellement des catégories d'intelligibilité d'un monde en pleine transformation et donner une compétence linguistique accrue à chacun d'entre nous pour participer aux affaires publiques. Mais ils recouvrent parfois aussi une véritable dépossession démocratique et nous enferment ans des alternatives simplistes, des questions mal posées et des perspectives théoriques sans issue dont certains "débats publics" donnent régulièrement des exemples. S'interroger sur la fabrique de la langue, sur les concepts dont l'apparente familiarité ne tient qu'à notre ignorance de leurs conditions d'apparition et de circulation, sur ce qu'ils disent des hommes et des contextes, sur ce qu'ils nous obligent parfois à penser et sur ce qu'ils font par conséquent à nos sociétés, c'est en cela contribuer à la refondation démocratique du débat public."--Page 4 of cover.

Arbeitsteilige Organisation der Produktion in einem nationalstaatlich strukturierten Wirtschaftsraum kennzeichnet die Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte Europas seit mindestens dem späten 19. Jahrhundert. Die ökonomische Integration war und ist eine Triebfeder der politischen Integration. Insofern gehen viele politische Diskussionen und Konflikte, etwa über Staatsverschuldung und Finanzpolitik, weit über die jeweiligen Einzelthemen hinaus--sie betreffen die Wurzeln des auf nachhaltigen Frieden und Wohlstand angelegten Projekts der Europäischen Integration. Die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes fragen nach konkreten Akteuren und Institutionen, Ereignissen und Entwicklungen dieses Prozesses: Welche beeinflussten die sozioökonomische Integration und Desintegration Europas? Welche beförderten, welche bremsten sie? In acht Fallbeispielen greifen die Beiträge in wirtschafts- oder sozialhistorischer Perspektive unterschiedliche Aspekte heraus: von der infrastrukturellen Integration über Logistik und Geldpolitik bis hin zu nationalen Schuldenkulturen. Diese historischen Analysen leisten einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Verständnis der Vor- und Nachteile von Integration (oder Desintegration), der Interessen, Handlungsspielräume und Strategien der Akteure.

Die Frage nach dem Verhältnis von "Ordnung und Chaos" betrifft die Organisation von Gesellschaft, Staat und Wirtschaft, der Verbände und Institutionen, aber auch das persönliche, individuelle Leben und den Alltag des Einzelnen. Die Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte hat diese Grundfrage immer wieder aufgegriffen, etwa im Hinblick auf die Verteilung von Armut und Reichtum. Daran knüpfen die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes in ihren Beiträgen an, indem sie mit dem Fokus auf "Trends und Brüchen" danach fragen, welche Faktoren in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft Wandel und Modernisierung bewirkten ? und welche Beharrung. Wie wurden Übergänge und neue Ordnungen gestaltbar gemacht und schließlich gestaltet? Kann man im Chaos der Erscheinungen Ordnungsmuster, Trends und Brüche erkennen und womöglich nutzbar machen? Anhand ausgewählter wirtschafts- und sozialhistorischer Beispiele vom 17. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart geben die Beiträge Einblick in Versuche und Techniken, Regelhaftigkeit und Balance in einer chaotischen Welt herzustellen ? vom Umgang mit den Folgen einer Spekulationsblase über die Mechanismen der Währungssicherung bis hin zu den Praktiken des internationalen Handels und der Ausgestaltung von Steuersystemen.

• Preface
• Introduction
• The roles and goals of American think tanks
• How do American think tanks gauge their success?
• The roles and goals of supranational think tanks
• How do supranational think tanks gauge their success?
• How do American and supranational think tanks differ?
• Why are American and supranational think tanks different, and what are the implications?
• Conclusion.

Why do US and EU think tanks diverge in their roles, priorities, and main constituencies? Providing the first substantive analytical comparison of think tanks in Washington and Brussels, this book explores the differences that exist and why they developed. Two principal variables are identified - institutional credibility and political culture - as a measure of comparison between the two think tank models. Supranational think tanks have an inherent credibility with the institutions of the EU, which allows them to direct their resources and efforts to activities and outputs where they hold a comparative advantage. US think tanks lack such institutional recognition and so need to prove their credibility to their main constituencies. The result is that an adversarial and individualistic political culture has informed the norms and activities of Washington think tanks while the consensus-driven and collectivist political culture of Europe has influenced supranational think tanks. Think tanks are far from newcomers to the public policy scene, but our broader understanding of their role, structure and how they assess their own achievements is not yet fully developed. By providing a framework within which to analyse this, this book will be of interest to academics, students and policy experts working within public policy, comparative politics and political science more generally.

Governments throughout the Western world are spending at levels that could not have been imagined by pre-war economists - even by people such as Keynes. High levels of government spending have had a significant effect on economic growth and on economic freedom. In his 2013 Hayek lecture, Grover Norquist, founder and president of Americans for Tax Reform, explains how the tide can be turned. He discusses both the political and economic mechanisms necessary to effect change. In three commentaries on the lecture, economists set the UK and European context and discuss how policy changes on this side of the Atlantic can make our economies more conducive to reform. Such reforms are necessary, argue all the authors, to ensure that we have dynamic economies in which governments serve the needs of their citizens rather than simply tax and spend more. This monograph is essential reading for students of political economy as well as all those interested in economic reform and the policy debates taking place in the United States.

This book reconsiders the nature of positivist philosophy in social science theory based on classical and medieval thought in what later became "Europe." It argues that social theory is being held back by antagonistic debates over science, positivism, objectivity, and universal law - debates which appear unnecessary, narrow, and acontextual when their origins are examined. Positing that solutions to these impasses can be found by moving to alternative holistic epistemology, and looking at issues in terms of interrelations rather than parts, the book shows the promise of a social theory that provides a unit of analysis that mediates between local and global relations.

The method of biographical story-telling applied to newly emerging fields of research. Realist Biography and European Policy is the first concerted attempt to integrate the separate strands of (critical) realism as a developed philosophy for social science with biographical narrative methods as a concrete methodological approach. The main goal is to demonstrate that the combination of critical realism and biographical methods is not only possible, but it is exceptionally well suited for the exploration of newly emerging research fields within European policy studies. This volume offers new insig.

The prevailing assumption has been that French ethnographers highlighted the cultural and social environment while anthropologists emphasized the scientific study of head and body shapes. Martin Staum shows that the temptation to gravitate towards one pole of the nature-nurture continuum often resulted in reluctant concessions to the other side. Psychologists Theodule Ribot and Alfred Binet, for example, were forced to recognize the importance of social factors. Non-Durkheimian sociologists were divided on the issue of race and gender as progressive and tolerant attitudes on race did not necessarily correlate with flexible attitudes on gender. Recognizing this allows Staum to raise questions about the theory of the equivalence of all marginalized groups. Anthropological institutions re-organized before the First World War sometimes showed decreasing confidence in racial theory but failed to abandon it completely. Staum's chilling epilogue discusses how the persistent legacy of such theories was used by extremist anthropologists outside the mainstream to deploy racial ideology as a basis of persecution in the Vichy era.

From the beginning of the twentieth century, scientific and social scientific research has been characterised by intellectual exchange between Europe and the US. The establishment of the Third Reich ensured that, from the German speaking world, at least, this became a one-way traffic. In this book Christian Fleck explores the invention of empirical social research, which by 1950 had become the binding norm of international scholarship, and he analyses the contribution of German refugee social scientists to its establishment. The major names are here, from Adorno and Horkheimer to Hirshman and Lazarsfeld, but at the heart of the book is a unique collective biography based on original data from more than 800 German-speaking social scientists. Published in German in 2008 to great acclaim, Fleck's important study of the transatlantic enrichment of the social sciences is now available in a revised English-language edition.

Our lives increasingly take place in ever more complex and interconnected networks that blur the boundaries we have traditionally used to define our social and political spaces. Accordingly, the policy problems that governments are called upon to deal with have become less clear-cut and far messier. This is particularly the case with climate change, environmental policy, transport, health and ageing - all areas in which the tried-and-tested linear policy solutions are increasingly inadequate or failing. What makes messy policy problems particularly uncomfortable for policy makers is that science and scientific knowledge have themselves become sources of uncertainty and ambiguity. Indeed what is to count as a 'rational solution' is itself now the subject of considerable debate and controversy. This book focuses on the intractable conflict that characterises policy debate about messy issues. The author first develops a framework for analysing these conflicts and then applies the conceptual framework to four very different policy issues: the environment - focussing on climate change - as well as transport, ageing and health. Using evidence from Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific, the book compares how policy actors construct contending narratives in order to make sense of, and deal with, messy challenges. In the final section the author discusses the implications of the analysis for collective learning and adaptation processes. The aim is to contribute to a more refined understanding of policy-making in the face of uncertainty and, most importantly, to provide practical methods for critical reflection on policy and to point to sustainable adaptation pathways and learning mechanisms for policy formulation.

Europe is getting closer. So do European social sciences. However, this is easier done in theory development and central research questions. When it comes to data the mutual understanding is far from perfect, due to a lack of knowledge about the data bases of the respective countries and the EU in general. This is particularly true when it comes to the regional level.This volume will help to improve the insight into the rich stock of European datasets which cover any kind of regional information. Many institutions ranging from statistical offices to more academic research centres and commercial enterprises report their offerings with special emphasis on the regional level (e.g. European Community Household Panel, European Social Survey, Labour Force Survey). Central categories as NUTS and LAU are explained and discussed. In addition, typical examples of socio-economic cross-border and multi-level studies highlight the power of a regionalized European perspective. Furthermore, information about special tools for such type of analysis is included in the volume.

In "Black Wednesday", Alan Budd discusses the contribution of ERM membership to Britain's recent economic performance. Budd suggests that Britain joined the ERM 'in despair' after trying various methods of controlling monetary growth without the success that had been anticipated. Whilst membership of the ERM did not happen at an ideal time, because of serious imbalances within and between member economies in the late 1980s, it did provide a discipline to reduce inflation that might have been difficult to maintain without membership. The author discusses how membership of the ERM was a necessary precondition for the adoption of the stable and successful monetary arrangements that Britain has today.Samuel Brittan, Tim Congdon and Derek Scott provide commentaries on Budd's analysis. Congdon and Scott in particular have reservations about the case that Budd makes. This collection provides an important contribution to the analysis of a very significant event in Britain's recent economic and political history.

Whilst the debate on the merits of adopting the euro rages on in the UK, comparatively little attention is paid to the way in which the ECB is managing monetary policy in the euro zone. This upbeat assessment by Professor Otmar Issing, member of the Executive Board of the European Central Bank, describes the success of the first five years of the euro's life. Not only has price stability maintained, despite turbulent economic times, but the financial markets appear to be convinced that the ECB will be effective in the long term in maintaining a stable price level. Professor Issing describes the mechanisms that have been used by the ECB to achieve its objectives. Issing ends with a warning, however. EU governments must address structural difficulties in their economies, particularly in labor markets. The ECB must not be sidetracked into trying to achieve higher growth and employment, but member governments should adopt liberalizing reforms.

Hughes' ideas, and the way they are expressed in Consciousness and Society, have become paradigms of twentieth-century scholarship. In dealing with the changing social thought after 1890 in Europe, Hughes was able to cover a wide array of thinkers and issues in a scholarly, yet graceful manner. It is a study of the "cluster of genius" of Europe at that time: Croce, Durkheim, Freud, Weber, and Nietzsche, as well as other great European minds. The book explores questions that are still of relevance in today's society: Is the separation of facts and values tenable, or even desirable? Can rationality accommodate the ideas of a Bergson or a Freud? Is there, or should there be, a.

European economic and monetary union is driven by politics, but the economic costs and benefits of Britain's membership can and should be assessed, argues Professor Patrick Minford in this careful and succinct analysis of the cases for and against Britain adopting the Euro. The core argument in favour is the reduction of exchange-rate risk, but because the Euro is a regional currency that has fluctuated considerably against the dollar, exchange-rate variability might not be less under the Euro and could even increase. In any case, financial markets can diversify away such risks. Minford sees substantial costs of membership: increased variability of UK output, employment and prices in response to shocks; damaging harmonisation of tax rates, social support and regulation; and the possibility that British taxpayers will have to meet some of the costs of big projected state pension deficits in Germany, France and Italy. He concludes that EMU, 'as it is constituted and planned would be strongly against British interests to join'.

This text examines how China has been portrayed in European and subsequently North American social and political thought and what, if anything, this depiction tells us about the character of this thought. Such a question immediately evokes the spectre of orientalism and subsequent chapters explore whether the identification of an orientalist project invalidates the knowledge claims of European and North American social and political thought as it evolved from the 18th to the 20th century.

This Second Edition of Making Policy in Europe is fully revised and expanded to provide the most up-to-date introduction to the study of policymaking in the European Union (EU). The first part of the book introduces the different perspectives to study of the EU as a political system, and provides a framework for the study of the main actors and institutions in the decision-making process from transnational lobbying within Brussels to the implementation of EU law in national member states. Part two introduces each of the main sectoral policy areas. The common "market" is introduced and reviewed before students are provided with detailed studies of policies and policy-making in telecommunications, the environment, energy, education, immigration, and policing. In each case the complex interaction between different interests and actors at different levels in the EU apparatus is richly illustrated and the future prospects for further integration fully examined. The final part of the book looks at the future economic and political structure of the EU and the direction of contemporary studies of the EU and European integration. A completely new chapter reviews European monetary union, another looks at the important enlargement question, and, finally, the editors review the wider implications for Europe and the EU political system. This book will be essential reading for another generation of students of the EU, European pubic policy and European integration. In each case the complex interaction between interests and actors at different levels in the EU apparatus is richly illustrated and the future prospects for further integration are examined.

Since the early 1970s, European thinkers have departed notably from their predecessors in order to pursue analytical programmes more thoroughly their own. This text brings together in one volume some of the most influential writings of Foucault, Habermas, Bourdieu, Pizzorno, Macfarlane and other authors whose ideas have had a worldwide influence in recent social thory. This anthology is testament to the central importance of three contemporary themes, each familiar to earlier thinkers but never definitely formulated or resolved. The first two concern the nature and modalities of power and legitimacy in society. The third, and most fundamental, deals with the nature and modalities of the "self" or "subject". These themes owe their special contemporary relevance to an array of events - from the collapse of colonialism to the birth of test-tube babies. Janmes Fauion's introduction traces the historical context of these events and themes. It also traces the lineaments of a still incohoate intellectual movement, of which this anthologies contributors are the vangaurd. Whether "modernist" or "post-modernist", this movement leads away from a "world-constituting subject", which in one guise or another has served as the ontological fround of social reflection and research since Kant. It points instead toward ontological pluralism and toward polytheic diagnostics of heterogeneous forces that constitute a multiplicity of worlds and subjects.
