This article considers how women adopted a "scientific" statistical language at the end of the nineteenth century to draw attention to their role in the moral and social economy. It explores in particular the messages contained in La Statistique générale de la femme française, a series of eighteen murals that the moderate feminist Marie Pégard sent for exhibition at the Woman's Building at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. The article begins by considering the place statistics held in France in the final decades of the century within the context of universal exhibitions. It then examines Pégard's choice of quantified categories of social analysis to convey a sustained argument about the comparative weight of women in a modernizing French economy. The article seeks to understand how contemporaries read and interpreted the graphs, and how this mode of rendering visible the issue of women's work played into the politics of an emerging feminist movement.

Le vote est une pratique symbolique. Pourtant, les politistes tendent à se focaliser sur les résultats des élections ou sur les motivations du vote, en oubliant la signification symbolique de la pratique elle-même et celle qu'elle a pour les participants. Dans cet article, nous attirons l'attention sur cette dimension à travers une analyse des rituels de vote et France et au Royaume-Uni. Nous considérons ce que les électeurs font lorsqu'ils votent. En particulier, nous nous interrogeons sur la manière dont le choix de l'électeur est conçu comme une performance publique ou comme un acte accompli en privé et en secret. Nous considérons comment des pratiques, typiquement tenues pour évidentes et pourtant distinctes, nous aident à mieux comprendre dans quelle mesure ces actes reflètent des frontières différentes du public et du privé dans les deux pays, et contribuent à construire des conceptions singulières nationales du système politique et du citoyen dans le processus démocratique.

The resulting comparative analysis demonstrates the many disparities in the way EU Member States handle such claims. The report concludes that women are not guaranteed consistent gender-sensitive treatment when they seek protection in Europe. It identifies a number of recommendations for a range of institutions in order to achieve a gender-sensitive asylum system across Europe ; N/A

Next year, the European Security Strategy: A Secure Europe in a Better World will be ten years old. Both the European Union and the world around it have changed in that time. In this Clingendael Policy Brief Margriet Drent and Lennart Landman argue that the European Union's foreign and security policy's ability to deliver would benefit from a rewriting of the European Security Strategy from 2003. Drafting a new European Security Strategy in 2013 is necessary and timely, particularly in times of shifting power configurations, a relative power decline on the part of Europe and a post-Lisbon EU that is in need of a clear 'mission statement'.

The early twentieth-century advent of aerial bombing made successful evacuations essential to any war effort, but ordinary people resented them deeply. Based on extensive archival research in Germany and France, this is the first broad, comparative study of civilian evacuations in Germany and France during World War II. The evidence uncovered exposes the complexities of an assumed monolithic and all-powerful Nazi state by showing that citizens' objections to evacuations, which were rooted in family concerns, forced changes in policy. Drawing attention to the interaction between the Germans and French throughout World War II, this book shows how policies in each country were shaped by events in the other. A truly cross-national comparison in a field dominated by accounts of one country or the other, this book provides a unique historical context for addressing current concerns about the impact of air raids and military occupations on civilians

Depuis le début des années 1980 en France, les politiques salariales et le système de négociation des salaires ont connu de profondes transformations. Comment les acteurs négocient-ils en présence de rémunérations complexes et diversifiées ? Cette question est explorée à partir de l'exploitation de l'enquête REPONSE 2004-2005 et de deux études de cas menées dans l'automobile et des centres d'appels. Les résultats soulignent une cohérence entre politiques de rémunération et modes de négociation. Ils montrent que la portée des négociations dépend des pratiques salariales utilisées dans l'entreprise. Plusieurs éléments limitent les marges de négociation, ou du moins sont utilisés comme tels : l'individualisation des rémunérations, les exigences de la maison-mère ou des donneurs d'ordres et le SMIC.

This article examines the practice of targeted sanctions as they are deployed against individuals and groups suspected of financing and facilitating terrorism in Europe. Substantial academic attention and critique has surrounded targeted sanctions and blacklists, as these practices challenge existing logics of evidence, criminal culpability and proportionality. This article seeks to move the analysis of blacklisting beyond the breach of individual rights and toward an understanding of the wider political implications. It draws upon the work of Giorgio Agamben to offer a reading of blacklisting in terms of its symbolic function of banishment and exclusion, which simultaneously redraws the boundaries around normal, valued, ways of life. The article teases out the exceptional and pre-emptive nature of blacklisting as a security measure. It analyses in some detail the Kadi case before the European Court of Justice, and argues that blacklisting and its current contestations work to inscribe the principles of pre-emption into the international juridical order.

"This lavishly illustrated volume explores the history of China during a period of dramatic shifts and surprising transformations, from the founding of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) through to the present day. The Oxford Illustrated History of Modern China promises to be essential reading for anyone who wants to understand this rising superpower on the verge of what promises to be the 'Chinese century,' introducing readers to important but often overlooked events in China's past, such as the bloody Taiping Civil War (1850-1864), which had a death toll far higher than the roughly contemporaneous American Civil War. It also helps readers see more familiar landmarks in Chinese history in new ways, such as the Opium War (1839-1842), the Boxer Uprising of 1900, the rise to power of the Chinese Communist Party in 1949, and the Tiananmen protests and Beijing Massacre of 1989. This is one of the first major efforts--and in many ways the most ambitious to date--to come to terms with the broad sweep of modern Chinese history, taking readers from the origins of modern China right up through the dramatic events of the last few years (the Beijing Games, the financial crisis, and China's rise to global economic pre-eminence) which have so fundamentally altered Western views of China and China's place in the world"--Publisher description
