  Contested Hybrid Democracy: Endorsing or Revisiting the Liberal Model in non-Western Countries

  IPSA Istanbul 2016

  Democracy has become a worldwide reference in terms of political organization and governance. While the universal character claimed by such a model has largely been theorized from a Western point of view, the variety of uses and appropriations from non-Western countries, including emerging States, remains unexamined. Disappointed with the results brought by the transition paradigm, the hybrid regimes literature tends to assess the unequal reception of the democratic model in non-Western countries. Nevertheless, the hybrid regimes analytical frame does not exhaust the question of the inner workings of these regimes, since its scientific referential remains based on Western theories and focuses on the uncompleted democratization processes and dynamics. This panel aims at switching the analytical frame towards the reception of the democratic model in non-Western countries through an assessment of uses and reappropriations of this model by political and social actors. Non-Western countries represent an interesting reflection ground for testing appropriation-reject dialectics regarding the Western democratic model. While this model directly inspires some of these countries (India, South Africa or Turkey), it has been rejected by other countries (China and Russia). Are there emerging models of democracy or counter-democracy models in non-Western countries ? We shall address these questions related to the unequal reception of the democratic model in non-Western countries.

  Mouvements sociaux et pouvoirs : distances et espaces

  revue « Amnis » n°15

  Alors qu’au tournant du XXIe siècle on s’accordait pour reconnaître que l’État était fragilisé par la mondialisation, mais aussi par les différentes modalités de décentralisation, la montée des identités territoriales et ethniques et l’accélération des processus d’intégration économiques et politiques, on constate à présent que de nouveaux facteurs amplifient cette érosion. Dans de nombreux pays, les élites gouvernantes sont remises en question par une partie importante de la société civile, qui exige parallèlement – et paradoxalement – la mise en place d’un État fort d’un nouveau type. Si l’on regarde de près ces « nouveaux » mouvements sociaux, on observe que certains refusent d’être récupérés par l’État, que d’autres adoptent une « forme syndicale » ou, encore, se constituent en partis politiques et deviennent la cheville ouvrière du changement de nature de l’État.

  Presque dix ans déjà : le nouveau Canada de Stephen Harper

  Revue Études Canadiennes n°78 (juin 2015)

  This special issue of Etudes Canadiennes/Canadian Studies intends to explore what’s new in Canada, nine years after the coming to power of the Conservatives, four years after Stephen Harper won the election that gave him a majority government, and at a time when Canada is getting ready for the next federal election. While the contributions are expected to focus on the Conservative initiatives to shape this new Canada, they will also be encouraged to compare them with other societal and global factors that may contribute to a changing Canada.
