Sommario/riassunto |
|
Pragmatism and its consequences are central issues in American politics today, yet scholars rarely examine in detail the relationship between pragmatism and politics. In The Priority of Democracy, Jack Knight and James Johnson systematically explore the subject and make a strong case for adopting a pragmatist approach to democratic politics--and for giving priority to democracy in the process of selecting and reforming political institutions. What is the primary value of democracy? When should we make decisions democratically and when should we rely on markets? And when should we accept the decisions of unelected officials, such as judges or bureaucrats? Knight and Johnson explore how a commitment to pragmatism should affect our answers to such important questions. They conclude that democracy is a good way of determining how these kinds of decisions should be made--even if what the democratic process determines is |

that not all decisions should be made democratically. So, for example, the democratically elected U.S. Congress may legitimately remove monetary policy from democratic decision-making by putting it under the control of the Federal Reserve. Knight and Johnson argue that pragmatism offers an original and compelling justification of democracy in terms of the unique contributions democratic institutions can make to processes of institutional choice. This focus highlights the important role that democracy plays, not in achieving consensus or commonality, but rather in addressing conflicts. Indeed, Knight and Johnson suggest that democratic politics is perhaps best seen less as a way of reaching consensus or agreement than as a way of structuring the terms of persistent disagreement. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Largement ouvert sur le monde depuis le XVIIIe siècle, soucieux de demeurer une escale pertinente dans des échanges maritimes internationaux de plus en plus intenses, concurrentiels et volatils, le port de Marseille a connu, au cours des derniers siècles, des évolutions qui ont profondément affecté ses espaces de fonctionnement, ses infrastructures, ses fonctions et son mode d’administration. De l’anse du Lacydon – l’actuel Vieux-Port – jusqu’aux extensions situées en dehors de la ville à Lavéra et Fos-sur-Mer, en passant par les installations intramuros alignées entre la Joliette et l’Estaque, des arrivages de matières premières agricoles et minérales coloniales aux touchées des supertankers chargés de pétrole brut, des palanquées de marchandises manutentionnées à la force des bras aux terminaux de conteneurs hyper-mécanisés, des prérogatives des milieux d’affaires locaux – regroupés au sein de la Chambre de commerce –, au rôle grandissant de l’État dans l’aménagement et la gestion des quais, chacune de ces transformations a engendré des paysages portuaires singuliers, avec leur lot de techniques, de pratiques, de stratégies, de négociations d’acteurs et de représentations. Cet ouvrage nous plonge au cœur d’une trajectoire portuaire toujours tendue vers l’avenir, dense, complexe, forte d’une histoire riche en rebondissements et en contrepieds, sous les regards croisés et interactifs d’anciens acteurs, de témoins et de chercheurs issus de plusieurs disciplines universitaires. |
