Sommario/riassunto

From the refusal of the U.S. Congress to approve fast-track trade authority and certain foreign aid packages to the obstacles placed by Western European parliaments in the path of economic integration, legislatures often interfere with national leaders' efforts to reach and implement predictable international agreements. This seems to give an advantage to dictators, who can bluff with confidence and make decisions without consultation, and many assume that even democratic governments would do better to minimize political dissent and speak



foreign policy from a single mouth. In this thoughtful, empirically grounded challenge to the assumption that messy domestic politics undermine democracies' ability to conduct international relations, Lisa Martin argues that legislatures--and particularly the apparently problematic openness of their proceedings--actually serve foreign policy well by giving credibility to the international commitments that are made. Examining the American cases of economic sanctions, the use of executive agreements versus treaties, and food assistance, in addition to the establishment of the European Union, Martin concludes that--if institutionalized--even rancorous domestic conversations between executives and legislatures augment rather than impede states' international dealings. Such interactions strengthen and legitimize states' bargaining positions and international commitments, increasing their capacity to realize international cooperation. By expanding our comprehension of how domestic politics affect international dialogue, this work is a major advance in the field of international relations and critical reading for those who study or forge foreign policy.

Sommario/riassunto

Fruit d’échanges interdisciplinaires, cet ouvrage interroge les liens entre délimitations territoriales et organisation des sociétés. Suivant une démarche comparative, les auteurs questionnent, depuis les débuts des États modernes au xive siècle jusqu’à aujourd’hui, les effets induits par les évolutions de ces délimitations à partir de deux terrains d’observation contigus aux évolutions a priori opposées : les territoires entre Bourgogne et Franche-Comté où semble disparaître toute limite ; ceux entre France et Suisse où s’affirme l’une des dernières frontières entre la France et un État non adhérent de l’Union européenne. Cette comparaison permet de déterminer ce qui distingue une frontière étatique de délimitations territoriales d’autres natures.  This book is the result of interdisciplinary exchanges and brings together 16 international researchers to examine the links between territorial boundaries and the organization of societies. Following a comparative approach, the authors question, from the beginnings of modern states in the 14th century to today, the effects induced by the evolutions of these delimitations from two observation fields adjacent to each other: the territories between Burgundy and Franche-Comté where all boundaries seem to disappear; those between France and Switzerland where one of the last borders between France and a State that is not a member of the European Union is established. This comparison makes  possible to determine what distinguishes a state border from territorial delimitations of other kinds.
