Sommario/riassunto

"Citizens' Solidarity in Europe systematically dissects the manifestations of solidarity buried beneath the official policies and measures of public authority in Europe. This critical book provides a comparative analysis of eight European countries, illustrating the scale of support for cross-national solidarity from both individuals and civic organizations. Contributors offer comprehensive and original data, analysing opinion polls, organizational fields and media content, to unpack the thoughts, opinions and attitudes of civil society. Chapters highlight the detrimental factors that tend to inhibit or annihilate solidarity, and those that are beneficial for the nurturing of solidarity. Offering innovative ideas and fresh data, this book will be crucial reading for researchers and students of sociology and political science, particularly those focused on European and comparative studies. Journalists, NGOs, public authorities and politicians will also benefit from its unique insight into public opinion"--

Sommario/riassunto

Cité minière située aux confins de la province du Shaba, ex-Katanga, au Zaïre, Kolwezi aurait pu ne jamais entrer dans l'histoire. Les événements qui s'y sont déroulés en mai 1978 en ont décidé autrement. Le 13 mai de cette année-là, la ville, où vivent plusieurs milliers d'Européens parmi près de 100 000 Zaïrois, est attaquée et prise par les rebelles katangais opposés au gouvernement du président zaïrois Mobutu, marquant le début de la deuxième guerre du Shaba. La population d'expatriés, enfermée dans la ville, devient la victime de pillages et de passages à tabac. Plusieurs dizaines de personnes perdent la vie, ce qui pousse la Belgique et la France à intervenir pour sauver leurs compatriotes. Les parachutistes français et belges sauveront plusieurs milliers d'Occidentaux, ainsi que de nombreux Zaïrois, et permettront de stabiliser la région.
