• Sommario/riassunto: "Les gouvernements elus repondent-ils aux attentes des citoyens? Les institutions democratiques favorisent-elles l'adoption et la mise en oeuvre de politiques publiques en adequation avec les preferences citoyennes? Selon le modele de la representation democratique, les elus doivent elaborer et mettre en oeuvre les politiques publiques souhaitees par les electeurs. De leur côte, les electeurs devraient recompenser ou sanctionner les elus en fonction de leurs performance et de la satisfaction de leurs attentes. En s'interessant à la relation qui unit la democratie et les politiques publiques, cet ouvrage offre un eclairage nouveau sur les enjeux relatifs à la reactivite et à l'imputabilite des elus. Les contributions rassemblees dans cet ouvrage expliquent les defis qui affectent la representation democratique. Il s'agit notamment du peu de place accordee à la participation du public dans les processus decisionnels, du fonctionnement et de l'organisation des administrations publiques et des difficultes d'acceder à une information credible et fiable au moment de prendre une decision."

• Sommario/riassunto: In this collection of lively essays, Cynthia Enloe makes better sense of globalization and international politics by taking a deep and personal look into the daily realities in a range of women's lives. She proposes a distinctively feminist curiosity that begins with taking women seriously, especially during this era of unprecedented American influence. This means listening carefully, digging deep, challenging assumptions, and welcoming surprises. Listening to women in Asian sneaker factories, Enloe reveals, enables us to bring down to earth the often abstract discussions of the global economy. Paying close attention to Iraqi women's organizing efforts under military occupation exposes the false global promises made by officials. Enloe also turns the beam of her inquiry inward. In a series of four candid interviews and a new set of autobiographical pieces, she reflects on the gradual development of her own feminist curiosity. Describing her wartime suburban girlhood and her years at Berkeley, she maps the everyday obstacles placed on the path to feminist consciousness-and suggests how those obstacles can be identified and overcome. The Curious Feminist shows how taking women seriously also challenges the common assumption that masculinities are trivial factors in today's international affairs. Enloe explores the workings of masculinity inside organizations as diverse as the American military, a Serbian militia, the UN, and Oxfam. A feminist curiosity finds all women worth thinking about, Enloe claims. She suggests that we pay thoughtful attention to women who appear complicit in violence or in the oppression of others, or too cozily wrapped up in their relative privilege to inspire praise or compassion. Enloe's vitality, passion, and incisive wit illuminate each essay. The Curious Feminist is an original and timely invitation to look at global politics in an entirely different way.
