Les historiens n'ont pas donné à Paris la place qu'elle méritait. Parce que la capitale française a souvent été assimilée à l'Etat, en raison aussi de sa complexité et de son importance, les institutions parisiennes n'ont pas toujours bénéficié d'études approfondies, notamment pour la période contemporaine. Ce livre, fondé sur la méthode prosopographique, est une approche des conseillers municipaux de Paris de 1871 à 1914, qui se situe à la charnière de l'histoire politique et de l'histoire sociale. Sont analysés différents aspects de cette élite locale : origines sociales, formation, carrières professionnelle et politique, sociabilité, fortune. A quel point les affrontements de formations politiques sont-ils ceux de groupes sociaux ? La diversité sociologique de la ville selon les quartiers se retrouve-t-elle à l'Hôtel de ville ? Ces élus qui ont tant dénoncé la mainmise de l'état sur la politique et l'administration locales, étaient-ils bien des hommes enracinés à Paris ? En répondant à ces questions, l'auteur tente de saisir les caractéristiques de la vie politique française, en mesurant le degré de sa démocratisation, à une période qui aurait dû voir se réaliser l'avènement d'une « couche sociale nouvelle ». |

Sommario/riassunto |

As American politics becomes ever more dominated by powerful vested interests, positive change seems permanently stymied. Left out in the cold by the political process, citizens are frustrated and despairing. How can we take back our democracy from the grip of oligarchy and bring power to the people? In Direct Deliberative Democracy, Jack Crittenden and Debra Campbell offer up a better way for government to reflect citizens' interests. It begins with a startlingly basic question: "Why don't we the people govern"? In this provocative book, the authors mount a powerful case that the time has come for more direct democracy in the United States, showing that the circumstances that made the Constitutional framers' arguments so convincing more than two hundred years ago have changed dramatically, and that our democracy needs to change with them. With money, lobbyists, and corporations now dominating local, state, and national elections, the authors argue that now is the time for citizens to take control of their government by deliberating together to make public policies and laws |

directly. At the heart of their approach is a proposal for a new system of "legislative juries," in which the jury system would be used as a model for selecting citizens to create ballot initiatives. This would enable citizens to level the playing field, bring little-heard voices into the political arena, and begin the process of transforming our democracy into one that works for, not against, its citizens. |
