A polymorphous concept, power has imposed itself since ancient times. Whether it characterizes the phenomena of domination, exclusion or voluntary submission, it illuminates social relations and, since the 20th Century, interpersonal relations. This book offers, first of all, a daring panorama through its intertwining of different theoretical propositions relating to power, across time and across disciplines. It then presents the work of researchers in information and communication sciences who draw from these proposals the materials allowing them to develop their own analyses. These analyses revisit discursive power with respect to contemporary formations of communication and information. They investigate digital technologies by problematizing the phenomena of influence, control and access to knowledge. Finally, they reflect on the media in the light of inherent powers of social mediation, advertising and journalism

"The ascent of globalisation tells the sweeping historical drama of the development of globalisation, from the Second World War to the present day. The story is told through the richly detailed accounts of eighteen remarkable men and women, describing how these architects reshaped the modern world, for better or worse. Profiling their lives, ideas and struggles reveals fresh insights into the nature of globalisation. The book also examines their legacies, shedding new light on many of the problems the world faces today: the global financial crisis, the political and economic malaise afflicting Europe, the numerous failures of the United Nations, the unchecked power of corporations and the inability of governments to cooperate on critical issues such as climate change."--

This article examines the place that Nepalese immigrant workers occupy in Qatar, a country where migrants' social and spatial positions are determined by their nationality and qualifications. The article uses visual images, mainly photographs, to illustrate the divided nature of society in Qatar. While trying to adopt the migrants' point of view, the author spent time both in the place where they live, that is the labor camps, and in central Doha where migrants spend their free time. Thus, except for the work place, pictures were taken both in private and public spaces to outline migrants' living spaces. They illustrate the strong constraints migrants have to face in everyday life. For the author himself, pictures are a means of taking a closer look at these places, once back from a field trip. By playing with different scales, zooming from the labor camp setting to the details of how rooms are arranged, pictures enable us to grasp the multiple facets of segregation and the way Nepalese migrant workers draw on their own resources to make foreign places their own. However, the adjustments made to these living spaces continue to reflect their lowly position in a highly segmented society.

This book proposes a new institutional constructivist model, for social scientific and legal enquiries, based on the interrelations within the social and political world and the application of change in EU laws and politics. Much of the research conducted in social sciences and law examines the diverse activities of individuals and collectivities and the role of institutions in the social and political world. Although there exist many vantage points from which one can gain entry into understanding how agents in the world act, interact, shape and bear the world, socio-legal scientific epistemology has found monism and dualism to be convincing models. This book argues that current models do not capture the complexity of our micro-worlds, macro-worlds and meso-worlds. Nor can they account for the forms and patterns of socio-legal change. Mind, time and change are brought together in an attempt to contribute to socio-legal epistemology and to enhance its toolkit.

This paper examines the influence of tribe institutions on social and political processes in Turkmenistan. The particularities of implementation of personnel policy in the Republic during the Soviet and post-Soviet periods have been analyzed. The nature of inter-tribe relations in the context of rivalry of the Turkmen elite for political influence in the country has been revealed. The personal composition of regional tribe representatives in the highest authorities of Turkmenistan has been shown. The role and place of the Presidential Adviser Institute in the political system of the country have been determined.It is claimed that tribal institutions are an important regulator of relations in all spheres of Turkmen society. They are an integral component of national traditionalism, both regionally and nationally. In this regard, the study of the peculiarities of inter-clan relations in this Central Asian Republic is of particular relevance for understanding those socio-political processes taking place in the country in the post-Soviet period.The process, which began in Turkmenistan in the mid-1980s, continued after the collapse of the USSR. At the same time, the presence of clan opposition, which remained strong enough (especially in the first years of independence), forced S. Niyazov to resort to flexible personnel policy and to take into account the interests of non-Tecan tribal groups. For a long time, all the most influential clans of Turkmenistan were represented in the highest authorities, and any vacancies or appointments held at the level of the Cabinet of Ministers were a reflection of the inter-clan rivalry in the country.Key words: Turkmenistan, social and political processes, personnel policy, inter-tribe relations, Presidential Adviser Institute. ; В статті досліджується вплив кланових інститутів на суспільно-політичні процеси в Туркменістані.
