The Winter of Democracy. Partitocracy in Belgium
In itself, partitocracy can be simply defined as a political regime where power is - in an excessive degree - in the hands of political parties. In Belgium, partitocracy has perhaps reached its highest level of elaboration, with complex interactions between citizens, candidates and elected representatives, parties as well as parliaments and governments. The Winter of Democracy : Partitocracy in Belgium aligns a dozen of scientific contributions that tackle the mutltifaceted concept of partitocracy from multiple perspectives. The book also celebrates the academic career of Lieven De Winter, almost five decades of a rich research commitment that spanned both at Université catholique de Louvain and at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, as well as across numerous institutions, projects and networks all around Europe. Lieven De Winter has significantly contributed to the study of all dimensions that constitute the core object of this book : Partitocracy in Belgium.

Justices militaires et guerres mondiales (Europe 1914-1950)
L'histoire des justices militaires a jusqu'à il y a peu été largement négligée. Institution hybride, elle a longtemps fait l'objet de jugements à l'emporte-pièce, tant chez les militaires que chez les juristes. On a ainsi vu se multiplier critiques acerbes et plaidoyers pro domo autour de cette institution si particulière. Une série de séminaires menés dans le cadre du projet de la Maison des sciences de l'Homme, de 2004 à 2008, avait pour objectif de parcourir, en perspective comparée, les évolutions de la justice militaire depuis le XVIe siècle. Le présent volume reprend une vingtaine de ces contributions, orientées sur le premier XXe siècle, pour comprendre les tensions, les pratiques et les limites de la justice militaire pendant et autour des deux guerres mondiales. Parcourant l'Europe occidentale, il se veut méthodologique et initiateur, éclairant une réalité transnationale à l'aide d'études de cas, inscrites dans le temps et l'espace. Until recently, the history of military justice has been largely neglected. As a hybrid concept, it has for many years been the subject of hasty judgments from both military institutions and lawyers. Members of the military institutions kept repeating harsh criticisms while the lawyers kept justifying themselves.This volume brings together 20 contributions that focus on the early 20th century in Western Europe with the aim of examining the tensions, practices and limitations of military justice during the two World Wars. In doing so, it uses a methodological and original approach, from the perspective of transnational reality and uses case studies from a range of countries at different times. The contributions were all presented during multiple seminars held at the Maison des sciences de l'Homme between 2004 and 2008. Using a comparative perspective, these seminars explored the evolution of the military justice system since the 16th century.

Wally, Die Zweiflerin- Wally the Skeptic
As the first translation of Karl Gutzkow's 1835 novel, Wally the Skeptic, this edition is meant to make an important, yet long misunderstood work available to a non-German-speaking audience. The extensive footnotes and the critical introduction attempt to interpret and explicate this pivotal novel - the best of the so-called Young Germans - and to make clear its vital role in the literary and cultural history of the 1830's.

Puritan Attitudes towards Recreation in early Seventeenth-Century New England
The interdisciplinary approach of this study tries to bridge a gap in the field of Puritan Studies, the one between the two camps of intellectual and social science historians. Focusing on the attitudes of the early Puritan church members in New England towards sport and recreation in general, the book attemps to show the differences between Puritan theory and New England reality. At no point in their history were the Puritan leaders able to enforce their secular and ecclesiastical laws. Even within the leadership itself a wide spectrum of opinions on recreation existed. The Puritan preachers reacted to this dilemma in their hortatory sermons, the jeremiads, which were employed to shame the younger generations into comformity by inventing the myth of the godly founding fathers. But the Puritan utopia was condemned to failure from the very start : the church members could not resist temptation.

The review of the OHADA accounting system symbol of the evolution towards IFRS standards was the focus of this study. It is about understanding how business leaders perceive the evolution from OHADA standards to IFRS standards. To conduct this study, we opted for a qualitative approach. As a result, we did semi-direct interviews with twenty-five business leaders in Cameroun (18 Cameroonian business leaders and 7 multinational business leaders). The data collected was exploited through content analysis via NVivo10 software. However, the results show that the accounting innovations of SYSCOHADA allow the production and communication of more relevant accounting and financial information for users. Likewise, managers of multinational companies believe that OHADA must fully converge towards IFRS. This perception is contrast to that of Cameroonian business leaders who cite the contextual contrast as the main obstacle and therefore taking into account the specificities of this contrast will be an asset for full convergence towards IFRS.

The Public Concept of Land Ownership
In South Korea the increase of population and the economic growth together with a shortage of arable land has led to land speculation. The government has tried to encounter this speculation with legislative acts introducing ceilings on land ownership, imposing taxes on excessive land holding and controlling real-estate transactions. These public policy measures are understood in Korea as the "Public Concept of Land Ownership". The Korean reports collected in this book explain in detail this concept and measure it by its economic efficiency as well as by its constitutionality. A part of the German reports describes how the same legal questions are dealt with under German law. Other reports examine the history of land ownership and the reprivatisation of land in East Germany after 1990.

Ethnicity, Structured Inequality, and the State in Canada and the Federal Republic of Germany
This volume focuses on the reshaping of ethnicity in Berlin and Toronto that resulted from the economic stagnation, industrial restructuring, and return to conservative government in Canada and the Federal Republic of Germany in the 1980s. It addresses a broad range of issues crystalizing around ethnicity, inequality, and the state. It approaches these problems using such diverse methods as systems theory, questionnaires, interviews, various quantitative measures, and historical analysis. Ethnicity is discussed as it functions at the workplace, in the family, in neighborhoods, in immigrant and other organizations, and in the immigrants' relation to the state through its mediating bureaucracies.

Sources and Dynamics of Macroeconomic Fluctuations in Switzerland: Evidence from a Structural Vector Autoregressive Approach
The economic stagnation experienced in Switzerland in the 1990s has intensified the debate about the primary causes of economic fluctuations in small-open-economies. However, conclusive empirical evidence on the relative importance of real vs. nominal and domestic vs. foreign influences is scarce. A lack of identification often prevents the unveiling of underlying fundamental shocks and causes empirical puzzles in applied work. In a model for the Swiss economy these problems can be overcome with a correct specification of the open-economy setting and the identification of monetary policy. Structural vector autoregressions provide an effective tool to incorporate these structural aspects into modeling, without restricting dynamic interactions among the variables. This model can be applied to assess the transmission channels and the relative importance of different sources of shocks for the Swiss business cycle. The evidence is clear-cut : real domestic shocks and foreign shocks by far dominate economic activity in Switzerland. Exchange rates emerge as an important transmission channel for foreign shocks in the Swiss economy. Therefore, even though monetary policy does not seem to be a major source of fluctuations by itself, it still has a potentially important role to play in macroeconomic stabilization. The model is applied to study the specific situation of the Swiss economy in the nineties. During that period it can be shown, that Switzerland witnessed two mini cycles with substantially different sources.

Italian Subalterns in Egypt between Emigration and Colonialism (1861-1937). Textes en français et anglais
Over the last years, we have witnessed a renewal in the studies on the Italian community which formed in Egypt in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Contrary to the historiographical paradigm that remained dominant for over a century, a novel approach - essentially based on a less ideological interpretation of archival sources - tends to provide a much more complex, less apologetic, and more horizontal reading of the dynamics within and among foreign/migrant communities. This work belongs to this "new" research wave. By rediscovering the originally Gramscian concept of "subaltern classes", it aims at re-centring the context in which the "subalterns" of Italian origin lived and acted as the focus of our interest. At once, it aims at both making such context relevant and disclosing its complexity. It privileges an approach that takes into account different and overlapping categories and social identities, with particular attention to the relationships with the many different local communities.

Literary Journalism and Africa's Wars. Colonial, Decolonial and Postcolonial Perspectives, Textes en français et anglais
This collection of essays explores ways in which early and late examples of literary journalism from England, France, Spain, Portugal and the United States interpolate the aesthetics of war reporting on various fronts and at divergent times in Africa's history, both reproducing and deconstructing the widespread colonial discourse that lies behind nearly every war, campaign, coup, assassination and pogrom that has scarred the continent over the past century. Although often a product of that colonial discourse, the literary journalism examined in this collection was motivated at least in part by the desire to expose the power imbalances that upheld it. Among the primary sources included in this volume are texts by Henry Morton Stanley, Ramón J. Sender, Martinho Simões, Frederick Forsyth, Kurt Vonnegut, Ryszard Kapuscinski, Philip Gourevitch, Jean Hatzfeld and a host of foreign correspondents from Le Monde. Incorporating a wide range of international critical perspectives, this book assesses the impact literary journalism has had on various nations' literary war reporting emanating from colonialist and postcolonialist conflicts and how those stories might help to reconfigure certain historical legacies, journalistic heuristics and literary representations of Africa in the 21st century. By presenting excerpts from several primary sources alongside a contextual gloss and a scholarly essay, the collection highlights the varied effects produced when literary techniques were fused with factual war reporting.

Chronopoétique. Edition bilingue français-anglais
Né en Sologne en 1962, Olivier Leroi a suivi une formation de forestier à Meymac en Corrèze puis débuté très tôt un parcours artistique autonome avant d’intégrer, une quinzaine d’années plus tard, l’Institut des hautes études en arts plastiques, dirigé par Pontus Hulten. Eclairé par cette nouvelle expérience, il a travaillé le dessin, la sculpture et la vidéo dont le fil rouge est la relation au milieu. L’oeuvre, fondée sur l’économie du geste et sur une observation affinée qui se joue des échelles, s’apparente à une opération de dévoilement de la réalité dans ses dimensions sensibles et cognitives. Au cours de ses voyages, Olivier Leroi réalise des «oeuvres vécues» avec les habitants des lieux traversés et en témoigne par des photographies et des performances filmées : Première neige au pays dogon (Mali), El Zorro blanco (Mexique), La brigade de Chambord ou encore Bruno, l’âne et les papillons. Cet ouvrage a donc été conçu comme un voyage, on pourrait dire un «forage» dans une oeuvre qui se développe depuis une trentaine d’années. Born in Sologne in 1962, Olivier Leroi trained as a forest ranger in Meymac ire Corrèze then began his own artistic research before joining the Institut des hautes études en arts plastiques, under Pontus Hulten, fifteen years later. Enlightened by this new experience, he developed his artistry in drawing, sculpture and video, the common theme of which has always been our relationship to our environment. Founded on economy in application and a refined sense of observation that plays with scale, his work unveils the sensitive, cognitive and emotional dimensions of reality. During his travels, Olivier Leroi has created lived works with the inhabitants of the various places file has visited, and has recorded them in photography and filmed performances : Première neige au pays dogon (First snow in Dogon lands) (Mali). El Zorro blanco (White Zorro) (Mexico). La brigade de Chambord (The Chambord brigade) (Chambord, France), Un drapeau pour l’antarctique, base Dumont d’Urville (A flag for Antarctica, Dumont d’Urville base) (South Pole) Bruno, lune et les papillons (Bruno, thé donkey and the butterflies) (southern France). This work has been de vised as a journey or exploration of his work over the past thirty years.

Constructing Reality
Is Lily-Julie just a projection of Nicholas's own desires ? Is reality just a projection of our own ideas ? The former is one of the central questions in John Fowles's novel The Magus ; the latter is the nucleus of constructivism. This study traces constructivist ideas and their transformation into narrative in The Magus. For long before constructivist theories were put forth, John Fowles confronts both the protagonist of his novel and the reader with the central constructivist theme : the construction of reality.

Après une introduction retraçant le parcours du récipiendaire, la première partie se penche sur différents aspects de la coopération au sein de l'Union européenne, allant du mandat d'arrêt européen, à la protection des droits fondamentaux en passant par le rôle de certaines institutions ou agences de l'UE. La deuxième partie traite de la coopération entre l'UE et le reste du monde, qu'il s'agisse d'organisations mondiales ou de certains Etats en particulier, comme les Etats-Unis. La troisième partie, plus transversale, rassemble des contributions diverses touchant notamment à l'Etat islamique, au financement du terrorisme, aux victimes et aux nouvelles technologies. L'ouvrage se clôt par une quatrième partie relative à la prévention, à la lutte contre la radicalisation, aux valeurs, à la liberté de la presse et à la littérature. Les auteurs, issus de diverses parties du monde, présentent des profils très divers, parmi lesquels d'éminentes figures politiques, des fonctionnaires européens, des académiques, des magistrats et des journalistes. L'ouvrage a été coordonné par Dr. Christiane Höhn, Conseillère principale de Gilles de Kerchove, Isabel Saavedra, son Assistante personnelle et Prof. Anne Weyembergh, Professeur ordinaire à l'Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB). This Liber Amicorum, which pays tribute to Gilles de Kerchove, EU counter-terrorism coordinator from 2007 to 2021, takes stock of what has been achieved in this field in recent years and looks at the challenges ahead. After an introduction tracing the recipient's background, the first part looks at different aspects of cooperation within the European Union, ranging from the European arrest warrant, to the protection of fundamental rights and the role of certain EU institutions or agencies. The second part deals with cooperation between the EU and the rest of the world, both with global organisations and with specific States, such as the United States. The third, cross-cutting part brings together various contributions relating to the Islamic State, the financing of terrorism, victims and new technologies. The book concludes with a fourth part on prevention, the fight against radicalisation, values, freedom of the press and literature. The authors come from various parts of the world and present a wide range of profiles, including prominent political figures, EU officials, academics, magistrates and journalists.

Les élites de cour de Constantinople (450-610). Une approche prosopographique des relations de pouvoir
L'histoire politique de l'Empire romain d'Orient au temps de Justinien (527-565) est d'ordinaire illustrée par quelques souverains à la postérité contrastée. Cet ouvrage étudie l'envers du décor de la cour de Constantinople entre 450 et 610, à l'époque où elle acquiert son existence propre. Il conduit donc du règne de Marcien, le promoteur du concile de Chalcédoine (451), à celui de Phocas, que l'on peut tenir pour le dernier empereur antique. Il repose sur une prosopographie des élites de cour connues pour leurs relations politiques avec les empereurs, mais aussi pour leurs liens familiaux, leurs origines géographiques et leurs orientation religieuses. Au sujet des individus répondant à ces critères, il discute le détail des carrières en particulier vis-à-vis des notices de la Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire. La question est abordée de manière chronologique. selon la succession des règnes impériaux : qui ont chacun valeur de test pour la configuration des élites de cour. L'origine géographique et l'orientation religieuse de ces élites font apparaître des groupes dominants et présentant une cohérence liée à ces deux facteurs. Les Balkans, l'Asie Mineure, le Proche-Orient et l'Egypte, tout comme le chalcédonisme et le monophysisme, occupent ainsi la scène des luttes de pouvoir dont la cour est le théâtre. Les solidarités familiales jouent un rôle longtemps sous-estimé et assez comparable à leur place dans l'histoire postérieure de Byzance. Des révoltes récurrentes invoquèrent souvent la légitimité des empereurs précédents. Mais ces contestation furent plus dangereuses dans les provinces que dans la capitale, et finalement peu menaçantes pour le pouvoir impérial, sauf au début du VIIe siècle. Si le personnel politique se renouvela fréquemment, il exista ainsi une permanence de certaines factions à la cour de Constantinople, qui acquit dans cette période une forme de stabilité. Le visage de la cour protobyzantine contribue ainsi à la connaissance de la culture politique européenne. The political history of the Eastern Roman Empire under Justinien is unusually embodied by few rulers with ambivalent legacies. This work studies the Constantinople court behind the scenes from 450 to 610, at the moment when it grew into a distinct entity. It thus spans the period from the rule of Marcian, the promoter of the Council of Chalcedon (451) to that of Phocas, who may be considered as the last Emperor of Antiquity. The approach relies on a prosopography of court elites known for their political ties with emperors. but also for their family bonds, geographical origins, and religious options. For each of the individuals meeting these criteria, career details are discussed, particularly in contrast with the entries of Prosopography of the later Roman Empire. The perspective is chronological and follows the successive imperial rule, each of them being studied with regard to the specific configuration of its court The geographical origin and religion orientation of these court Bites are main parameters delineating the dominant groups and cementing their cohesiveness The Balkans, Asia Minor, the Near East and Egypt were just as central as Chalcedonism and Monophysitism to the power struggles playing out in the court The importance of kinship loyalty during that period has long been underestimated, although it is similar to what is observed in the later history of the Byzantine Empire. Recurrent rebellion often harked back to the legitimacy of former Emperors. But these protests were more radical in the provinces than in the capital and ultimately proved to be only a tumor threat to the imperial power, except in the early seventh century. While the political personnel experienced a high turnover, certain faction still enjoyed relative longevity at the court of Constantinople, which gained a form of stability over the period. Studying the variation of the Byzantine court thus enriches our knowledge of European political culture.

CORBA DEVELOPERS'S GUIDE WITH XML. CD-ROM included
While the first design goal of the XML Recommendation states that "XML shall be straightforwardly usable over the Internet," it can be demonstrated that XML has broad application in such areas as e-commerce. With this in mind, CORBA Developer's Guide with XML focuses on XML document type definition (DTD) design using the structures of CORBA to present a new perspective to programming in an object-oriented environment. This book does not teach XML but rather discusses design for experienced object-oriented developers. Programmers need to comprehend how an analysis of an environment, CORBA, assists in the design and development of XML elements, attributes, and entities that reflect that environment.
The companion CD-ROM included with this book contains a trial version of XML Authority from Extensibility, Inc., and a multimedia presentation to explain the essential concepts of the XML Recommendation.
This book:
> Reviews the popular markup language XML for designing applications appropriate for CORBAservices and CORBAfacilities.
> Discusses the significance of document type definitions (DTDs) and the Document Object Model (DOM) for the development of XML applications.
> Uses the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) specifications to establish CORBA infrastructure interfaces and associated variables.
> Explains how to design Extensible Markup Language (XML) document type definitions using CORBA infrastructure.
> Includes the XML production rules, XML terms, and markup examples.

Origin of the Term «Shyster»: Supplementary Information
The present monograph complements Cohen's 1982 study of shyster. The main contributions of his new work are a who's who for the shyster story and a revisionist look at the coiner of the term (Mike Walsh). Scholars are currently agreed that Walsh was a raving, ranting demagogue and a wild-eyed genius whose only contribution was the introduction of gangs into New York City's political process. Cohen argues, however, that Walsh possessed far more humanity (and possibly influence) than his critics have given him credit for. It is noteworthy too that the studies of Walsh and shyster shed light on each other ; neither is complete alone.

A la recherche du Paris de Marcel Proust
Edition bilingue français-anglais Ce livre, illustré de 90 photographies d'époque et de tableaux, donne à voir les figures et les paysages parisiens liés à la vie de l'écrivain et à son oeuvre. De la plaine Monceau aux Champs-Elysées, le Paris de Marcel Proust est essentiellement celui des beaux quartiers. Né à Auteuil, ayant vécu boulevard Malesherbes ou boulevard Haussmann, l'écrivain situe son oeuvre dans le Paris de la Belle Epoque. Les appartements cossus donnent sur des avenues plantées d'arbres, les enfants s'amusent dans d'élégants jardins et les réceptions se tiennent dans des hôtels particuliers. Swann, Odette ou la duchesse de Guermantes fréquentent Maxim's, le bois de Boulogne ou les cafés animés des Grands Boulevards. Ces décors et les figures qui ont inspiré le romancier, les voici en images, révélant un Paris 1900 à la fois réel et imaginaire : le monde de Proust. From the Plaine Monceau to the Champs-Elysées, the Paris of Marcel Proust essentially encompasses the high-end districts. Born in Auteuil, having lived on the Boulevard Malesherbes, as well as the Boulevard Haussmann, the writer's work is embedded within the Paris of the Belle Epoque. The Posh apartments look out onto tree-lined streets, children play in elegant gardens and receptions are held in private mansions. Swann, Odette or the Duchesse de Guermantes all socialize at Maxim's, the Bois de Boulogne or the bustling cafés along the Grands Boulevards. These settings and the different characters, who inspired the famous novelist, are hereby presented in evocative images, revealing Paris during the early 1900s, both real and imaginary : the world of Proust.

Ezra Pound's Medievalism
Among the denumerable traits of the longest poem in English is a strong emphasis on the Middle Ages. Perhaps the strongest single literature of form-giving dimension is the literature of the Middle Ages. Due to the early experience of Medieval ideas and forms Pound could arrive at what film-maker Hollis Frampton has called a "thesaurus of compositional strategies". This study provides a survey of Ezra Pound's life-long dialogue with the Middle Ages culminating in essays on Chaucer and Dante.
