Sommario/riassunto

En France comme dans les autres grandes démocraties, l’armée et les médias, s’ils ne sont pas le pouvoir, n’en constituent pas moins deux pouvoirs, qui occupent une place plus ou moins importante selon les pays et les circonstances. Aussi, les relations armée-médias revêtent-



elles un caractère particulier, voire une importance particulière, spécialement en temps de crise et de guerre.

Sommario/riassunto

This book examines the development of biopolitics as an academic perspective within political science. It reviews the work of the leading proponents of this perspective and presents a comprehensive view of biopolitics as a framework to structure political inquiry. The book's chapters present a range of analysis, critique and recommendations for



the current study of biopolitics. Coverage includes; the implications of biopolitics for political theory and the need to re-evaluate basic assumptions of the prevailing political science paradigm; an analysis of the methodological concerns of adopting a more biology-based approach to political science; the current state of knowledge of the genetic and neurological bases of mass and elite behavior; and biopolicy issues and the proper role of the life sciences in informing our understanding of them. The concluding chapter restates the case for a paradigm shift toward an interactive model, arguing that, rather than lead to biological determinism as denounced by some, this inclusive paradigm allows us to counteract deterministic protestations more effectively than by continuing to ignore or minimize biological influences.
