Series surpervised by Rémi Lefebvre and Marie Saiget.
This series gathers works concerned with the diverse aspects of contemporary politics.
The various spaces studied include territories, arenas and other state, international or local configurations, where politics unfold in their moving and varying forms. The aim is to better understand the different forms of the political discourse, the multiplicity of the spheres involved (actors, methods of governance, "crises"…) and the diversity of militant practices and mobilization patterns.
This series presents itself as a space of reflection on nascent mechanisms, a space questioning the boundaries of politics and encouraging the exploration of untrodden paths—as opposed to more conventional methods (power, elections, government)—in the approach of politics. The series also puts forward comparative studies, so as to better comprehend the major international stakes behind the evolution of political practices. Last but not least, because we think that politics can be better understood when it is confronted with history, sociology, anthropology and other domains such as the legal one, Espaces Politiques promotes interdisciplinary approaches. The series brings together collective works, scientific essays, survey results, etc. of both experienced and young researchers.
Although strengthened by the NOTRe law (August 7, 2015), intermunicipal institutions remain (still) at the end of the 2020 municipal election campaign a level of public action that is not very visible to citizens. The electoral debates have not indeed produced the conditions for a (new) democratic debate on intercommunality.
Edited by Héloïse Nez, Catherine Neveu, Julie Garnier
Can politics exist without territorial anchoring, ie without continual presence in a restricted area and without a sustainable link between political actors, local social groupings and spaces where social life and collective interests organize themselves?
Les digital natives au prisme des inégalités socio-culturelles
Espaces politiques
The digital revolution has profoundly changed our ways of learning, learning and participating in public debate. Young people born at the turn of the 2000s are seen as the spearheads of this new society. This book depicts a somewhat less enchanting situation.
Le prix de l'engagement dans la politique municipale
Espaces politiques
Beyond the discourse on the crisis of vocation of young citizens to conventional politics or on the ageing of elected representatives, this book gives an account of the biographical paths of young mayors, from the political socialisation acquired during childhood to the first acts of arms and the exercise of the mandate.
Beyond an analysis of participatory democracy as an answer to the crisis of representative democracy, this edited book analyses a diversity of citizens mobilizations and experimentations, while questioning their novelty and exploring their relations with public institutions.
Edited by Antonio Delfini, Julien Talpin, Janoé Vulbeau
Enquêtes sur les pratiques de gouvernement en milieu populaire
Espaces politiques
The scarcity of collective action in poor neighborhoods cannot be understood without placing institutional practices of demobilization at the core of the analysis. This book unveils practices of repression, channeling and stigmatization which undermine social popular movements.
Socio-histoire comparée des dénonciations de la corruption urbaine
Espaces politiques
A corruption scandal, elected officials accused of clientelism, favoritism, business dealings, links with organized crime... Is the scene happening anywhere? Not necessarily, because there are cities where these denunciations are more frequent than elsewhere, cursed cities that end up having a bad reputation.
