employment contract, sign up for a cellphone carrier, or buy travel tickets--pervades all aspects of our modern lives. On a daily basis, most of us accept boilerplate provisions without realizing that should a dispute arise about a purchased good or service, the nonnegotiable boilerplate terms can deprive us of our right to jury trial and relieve providers of responsibility for harm. Boilerplate is the first comprehensive treatment of the problems posed by the increasing use of these terms, demonstrating how their use has degraded traditional notions of consent, agreement, and contract, and sacrificed core rights whose loss threatens the democratic order. Margaret Jane Radin examines attempts to justify the use of boilerplate provisions by claiming either that recipients freely consent to them or that economic efficiency demands them, and she finds these justifications wanting. She argues, moreover, that our courts, legislatures, and regulatory agencies have fallen short in their evaluation and oversight of the use of boilerplate clauses. To improve legal evaluation of boilerplate, Radin offers a new analytical framework, one that takes into account the nature of the rights affected, the quality of the recipient's consent, and the extent of the use of these terms. Radin goes on to offer possibilities for new methods of boilerplate evaluation and control, among them the bold suggestion that tort law rather than contract law provides a preferable analysis for some boilerplate schemes. She concludes by discussing positive steps that NGOs, legislators, regulators, courts, and scholars could take to bring about better practices. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Cet ouvrage porte sur la période de révolution, du renversement de Hayle Sïllasé à la mise en place d’une dictature militaire d’inspiration marxiste. L’auteur examine les causes et les conséquences de ce changement de régime à travers le cas des Afar, un peuple semi-nomade transfrontalier de basses terres. Les possibilités d’investissement agricole sur le cours de l’Awash, fleuve qui traverse le territoire Afar, les ressources minières ainsi que la protection des |

frontières nationales représentaient des enjeux importants pour intégrer à l’État éthiopien cet espace historiquement hors de sa domination. En réponse aux excès de l’administration impériale éthiopienne du temps de Hayle Sïllasé, notamment la confiscation des terres communales fertiles, la révolution éthiopienne proposait une réallocation des ressources au peuple par l’État et une plus grande autonomie de chaque territoire, impliquant des structures administratives nouvelles. Les hommes politiques représentant les Afar, soit par leurs statuts de chefs traditionnels soit par leurs qualités personnelles révélées par les bouleversements de l’époque, ont tenté de se saisir les opportunités offertes par la situation révolutionnaire. Ils ont dû faire face à plusieurs options qui les ont unis ou divisés. Ce sont ces choix politiques, les raisons qui les ont motivés, les incohérences qui n’ont pas été évitées, les dissidences qu’ils ont entrainées, les objectifs qui n’ont pas été atteints, et les conséquences économiques, écologiques et sociales, qui sont l’objet de cet ouvrage. L’auteur y décortique également les rapports complexes des Afar avec la Junte militaire au pouvoir et les mouvements de guérilla qui s’opposaient à celle-ci, surtout les mouvements érythréens et le Front de libération des peuples du Tigray (FLPT). |
