• Sommario/riassunto: Le faux monétaire, parce qu’il nécessite la construction de cette qualification, ne saurait se réduire à la seule évaluation des métaux précieux qu’il contient. Du Moyen Âge à l’époque contemporaine, les ; travaux réunis ici démontrent que si l’invention du faux en matière monétaire résulte de l’activité des contrefacteurs, elle dépend également de la réception des fausses pièces par les collectivités humaines. Dès la fin du Moyen Âge les autorités politiques mettent en avant la notion de majesté monétaire pour défendre les droits de monnayage du prince. Malgré cette construction théorique entre postures et impostures, la désignation de la falsification monétaire peine à rallier tous les acteurs des économies fondées sur le poids et l’aloi des espèces. C’est à partir de l’exemple de la France et de l’Espagne, de la Méditerranée et de l’Amérique coloniale hispanique, que le faux-monnayage est abordé comme une transgression de la valeur et de l'échange suscitant une répression judiciaire qui participe à la construction des frontières politiques. La fabrique du faux monétaire se place donc aux croisements des histoires économiques, monétaires, politiques et sociales. Elle restitue les articulations et les conflits liés à la réception occidentale de la falsification de la valeur, avant de fonder une approche originale du faux monétaire comme objet d’histoire, objet peu investi jusqu’alors par la pensée historique contemporaine. Destiné au monde universitaire hispanique et français, aux chercheurs, aux étudiants mais aussi aux passionnés de numismatique, cet ouvrage scientifique interdisciplinaire réunit le travail d’une quinzaine de chercheurs français et espagnols, historiens, anthropologues et numismates, pour fonder une histoire occidentale des (im)postures monétaires

• Sommario/riassunto: Public broadcasters, like the BBC and the Italian broadcaster RAI, are some of the most important media organisations in the world. Politicians are often tempted to interfere in the workings of these broadcasters and when this happens, the results are highly controversial, as both the Blair and Berlusconi governments have discovered. Public Broadcasting and Political Interference explains why some broadcasters are good at resisting politicians' attempts at interference, and have won a reputation for independence - and why other broadcasters have failed to do the same.

• Sommario/riassunto: This book provides the first detailed analysis of how interactions between government policy and Fleet Street affected the political ; coverage of the Greek civil war, one of the first major confrontations of the Cold War. During this period the exponential growth of media influence was an immensely potent weapon of psychological warfare. Throughout the 1940s the press maintained its position as the most powerful medium and its influence remained unchallenged. The documentary record shows that a British media consensus was more fabricated than spontaneous, and the tools of media persuasion and manipulation were extremely important in building acceptance for British foreign policy. Gioula Koutsopanagou examines how this media consensus was influenced and molded by the British government and how Foreign Office channels were key to molding public attitudes to British foreign policy. These channels included system of briefings given by the News Department to the diplomatic correspondents, and the contacts between embassies and the British foreign correspondents.
