Sommario/riassunto

This collection of works by prominent Chilean experts explores the long term effects of neoliberalism. It relentlessly questions Chile's



status as a successful and exemplary democratic country. The first part deals with the circumstances that facilitated the establishment of the neoliberal experiment in Chile. This is followed by analysis of the economic, social, environmental, political and human rights impacts of 35 consecutive years of neoliberal policies. Implications for weathering the multi-dimensional global crisis are analyzed in view of Chile`s loss of productive capacities, the shrinking role of the State and its asymmetrical integration into the world economy. The volume concludes by asserting that breaking the status quo is possible, urgent and necessary. Critical Global Studies , volume 3

Sommario/riassunto

Le principat médiéval constitue le thème de ce livre dans lequel les auteurs ont voulu rassembler des éléments neufs sur cette question magistralement éclairée par Olivier Guillot et Karl-Ferdinand Werner (†). Le premier a montré que la royauté franque a revêtu durant le haut Moyen Âge les traits essentiels du principat romain chrétien ; le second a souligné le rôle politique que les princes ont joué à côté du roi dans le monde franc et sa périphérie du VIIe au XIIIe siècle. Ces deux savants ont ainsi ouvert une perspective de recherche centrée non plus sur la principauté mais sur le principat. Ce livre veut leur rendre hommage.  Son champ chronologique va de l’époque romaine à la fin du Moyen Âge dans un espace qui couvre une large part de l’Empire romain ainsi que ses marges celtiques et scandinaves. Dans ce cadre, les auteurs ont cherché à savoir si l’institution du principat fondée par Auguste a, dans ses traits fondamentaux, traversé les siècles. Ils ont aussi posé la question de la nature du principat médiéval. Le principe antique selon lequel le gouvernement du prince doit rechercher l’utilité commune est-il admis durant l’époque médiévale ? Le prince exerce-t-il alors une puissance en imposant sa volonté ou son peuple qui lui obéit reconnaît-il son autorité comme légitime ?  Quatre voies d’analyse ont été retenues : l’idéal du bon prince et des rapports de ce gouvernant aux lois ; l’exercice et la pratique du pouvoir ; la contestation par ses sujets du prince maladroit ou immoral ; enfin la diffusion du modèle romain de gouvernement qu’est le principat.  L’importance politique du principat, que la recherche contemporaine tient désormais pour essentielle, justifie ce livre.

Sommario/riassunto

This sweeping and eminently readable book is the first synthetic history of Calvinism in almost fifty years. It tells the story of the Reformed tradition from its birth in the cities of Switzerland to the unraveling of orthodoxy amid the new intellectual currents of the seventeenth century. As befits a pan-European movement, Benedict's canvas stretches from the British Isles to Eastern Europe. The course and causes of Calvinism's remarkable expansion, the inner workings of the diverse national churches, and the theological debates that shaped Reformed doctrine all receive ample attention. The English Reformation is situated within the history of continental Protestantism in a way that reveals the international significance of English developments. A fresh examination of Calvinist worship, piety, and discipline permits an up-to-date assessment of the classic theories linking Calvinism to capitalism and democracy. Benedict not only paints a vivid picture of the greatest early spokesmen of the cause, Huldrych Zwingli and John Calvin, but also restores many lesser-known figures to their rightful place. Ambitious in conception, attentive to detail, this book offers a model of how to think about the history and significance of religious change across the long Reformation era.
