Heidegger. L'introduction du nazisme dans la philosophie.
Autour des séminaires inédits de 1933–1935,
Emmanuel Faye, Paris, Albin Michel, 2005, 567 pages.Pour un lecteur de Heidegger, l'ouvrage d'Emmanuel Faye est
assez pénible. En faire une critique est périlleux car, en
défendant la possibilité de lire Heidegger, on risque
d'être catégorisé comme penseur nazi (rien de
moins), fût-ce à son insu, et, en acceptant la
démonstration de Faye, on s'interdit l'accès
à une pensée qui a eu une influence décisive sur la
philosophie contemporaine.

Le gouvernement du monde. Une critique politique de la
globalisation, Jean François Bayart, Paris : Fayard, 2004, 448
pages.La mondialisation constitue-t-elle une nouvelle ontologie dans le
domaine des relations internationales? C'est la question principale
qu'essaie d'aborder cet ouvrage de Jean François Bayart.
Selon l'auteur en effet, la globalisation demande à être
saisie dans son historicité, c'est-à-dire, dans sa
banalité. Parce qu'elle est une configuration historique, la
globalisation est singulière. Elle est un régime
spécifique de pouvoir et d'accumulation et, en tant que telle,
elle appelle un traitement ordinaire.

L'empire blessé : Washington à
l'épreuve de l'asymétrie, Barthélemy
Courmont, Québec : Presses de l'Université du
Québec, 2005, 271 pages.Dans son livre récent, Barthélémy Courmont
soutient que l'empire américain fait face à une
multiplication d'adversaires asymétriques depuis quelques
années. À l'époque d'autres empires, on les
appelait les “ barbares ”; aujourd'hui, c'est une
multitude de groupes qui sont considérés comme
menaçants ou terroristes. Les réponses politiques
américaines ne sont plus adéquates pour faire face à
de tels adversaires, dont la variété rend inopérante
toute solution uniforme. Si l'empire américain veut
éviter de suivre dans leur chute tous les autres empires qui
l'ont précédé dans l'histoire, ses
décideurs devront développer des solutions adaptées
aux nouveaux opposants et aux menaces que ces derniers suscitent. Sinon,
les coups répétés assénés par les
opposants mineront la suprématie mondiale des
États-Unis.

collective à l'ère de la mondialisation, Louis
Guay, Pierre Hamel, Dominique Masson et Jean-Guy Vaillancourt (sous la

Québec, 2005, 420 pages.Cet ouvrage dirigé par Guay, Hamel, Masson et Vaillancourt
cherche à revoir la problématisation de l'action
collective au regard des transformations sociales contemporaines.
L'angle d'analyse privilégié par les
différents auteurs est celui des rapports entre mouvements sociaux
et institutions. Ce rapport ne peut plus être
considéré comme nécessairement conflictuel
étant donné que les mouvements sociaux “
n'hésitent plus à intervenir à partir ou au sein
des institutions elles-mêmes ” (p. 2). Cette transformation
des mouvements sociaux constitue en quelque sorte un paradoxe dont le
chercheur intéressé à ces questions doit tenir compte
car l'analyse traditionnelle des nouveaux mouvements sociaux –
voir Offe, par exemple – a souvent considéré le
caractère extra-institutionnel de ce type d'action collective
comme une de ses particularités.
Smoke and Mirrors: Globalized Terrorism and the Illusion of
Multilateral Security

Published: April 2008

Smoke and Mirrors: Globalized Terrorism and the Illusion of
Multilateral Security, Frank P. Harvey, Toronto: University of Toronto
Press, 2004, p. x, 345.Following the second Gulf War, international observers were quick to
criticize the unilateral behaviour of the United States. Without a UN
mandate, the allies had undermined the very institution they had created
to foster multilateralism following the Second World War. Yet, Frank
Harvey makes the case that not only is unilateralism the new trend in
American foreign policy, it is desirable in an age of terrorism and
nuclear proliferation. Harvey begins by scrutinizing the foundations of
multilateralism and their applicability to the post 9/11 world. He
concludes that not only is the higher moral ground associated with
multilateralism a fallacy, but that multilateralism can be dangerous in an
era where rapid responses to security threats are needed. To justify his
conclusions, Harvey examines both the buildup to the 2003 Iraq conflict
and the issue of Ballistic Missile Defense. He concludes with an analysis
of future U.S. and Canadian security policy.

Global Responses to Terrorism: 9/11 Afghanistan and Beyond, Mary
Buckley and Rick Fawn, eds., New York: Routledge, 2003.In the aftermath of 9/11, book publishers have been relatively
quick to release works that somehow capitalize on the public's demand
for insight with respect to terrorism and groups such as Al-Qaeda. Many of
the monographs have been the work of journalists, others the efforts of
scholars, and some the writings of practitioners. Still other books have
been the result of collaborations, either in edited or co-authored forms,
among writers from different backgrounds, training and experience.
Globalization and Society: Processes of Differentiation
Examined
Authors: Marden Peter 
Published: April 2008

Globalization and Society: Processes of Differentiation Examined, R.
Breton and J.G. Reitz, eds., Praeger: Westport, 2003, pp. 321.There is currently a plethora of books on globalization in all of its
guises. Many of these fail to seriously contribute to a growing body of
literature in any intellectually rigorous way because they either simply
re-hash well-worn notions about global political economy or culture, or
provide a weakly disguised postmodern attempt to textualise social and
economic change. There are some notable exceptions, however, and this book
is one of them. The first thing to strike you with this edited collection
is the sheer breadth of the scale ranging from trends in global inequality
to considerations about nationalism and the crisis of the welfare state.
This is a comprehensive treatment of a highly complex set of processes
which does not uncritically apply the term “globalization”
without recourse to informed theoretical debate concerning the active role
of civil society, forms of governmentality and the nation state. While the
authors do not completely escape forms of reductionism in the language
used, they do nonetheless attempt to ground this reasoning within a
critical context which avoids the excesses of idiosyncratic localization
or convergence theories.
Does Turnout Decline Matter? Electoral Turnout and Partisan Choice in the 1997 Canadian Federal Election
Authors: Martinez Michael D. , Gill Jeff 
Published: April 2008

Abstract.The recent decline in electoral turnout in Canada has attracted the concern of scholars and public officials, but the partisan consequences of this decline have received only scant attention. We begin to address that question with a simulation based on the 1997 Canadian Election Study. Based on estimated probabilities of individual behaviour derived from multinomial logit models of voter choice, we find that higher turnout would have likely hurt the Liberal party in Quebec, but slightly helped the Liberals outside of Quebec. We interpret this pattern as evidence that generational politics plays a role in shaping the relationship between electoral turnout and partisan support.Résumé.Le déclin récent dans la participation électorale au Canada a attiré l'intérêt des chercheurs et des représentants de l'Etat, mais les conséquences partisanes de ce déclin n'ont sucité qu'une attention limitée. Nous commençons à aborder cette question à l'aide d'une simulation basée sur l'Etude électorale canadienne de 1997. En nous appuyant sur des probabilités estimatives du comportement individuel dérivées de modèles logistique multinominal du choix d'électeur, nous constatons qu'une participation plus importante aurait probablement nuit au Parti Libéral au Québec, mais aurait légèrement favorisé le Parti Libéral en dehors du Québec. Nous interprétons ce modèle comme preuve que la politique de générations contribue à la formation du rapport entre la participation électorale et l'appui partisan.
Research Note: Rawls Revisited: Can International Criminal Law Exist?
Authors: Fisher Kirsten J. 
Published: April 2008

Abstract.Questions concerning how Rawls's theory of justice accords with international criminal justice are largely ignored in favour of extensive debates on questions of distributive justice and how they relate to his theory and its international application. This lack of attention to international criminal law is significant since Rawls claims that his theory of justice is developed to correspond with recent dramatic shifts in international law. This paper argues that it is impossible for Rawls's account, state-centric as it is, to accord with advancements in international law that have increasingly asserted recognition of individuals in the global context.Résumé.Les questions concernant comment la théorie de justice de Rawls est en accord avec la justice criminelle internationale sont en grande partie ignorée, même pendant qu'en même temps sa théorie et son application internationale sont profondement discutée par rapport à la justice distributive. Ce manque d'attention à la loi criminelle internationale est important, puisque Rawls prétende que sa théorie de justice est développée en correspondance avec les récents changements dramatiques au niveau de la loi internationale. Cette exposé argumente qu'il est impossible que l'explication de Rawls, état-centré comme elle l'est, s'accorde avec les avancements en la loi internationale qui affirment de plus en plus la reconnaissance des individus dans le contexte global.

Canada's Regional Innovation Systems: The Science-based

Canada's Regional Innovation Systems: The Science-based
Industries, Jorge Niosi, Montreal & Kingston: McGill-Queen's
University Press, 2005, pp. x, 171.Encouraging innovation in order to promote the growth of productivity
and higher real incomes continues to be a centrepiece of economic policy
in Canada. Canada's relatively poor performance in innovation and
productivity growth compared to the United States remains a vexing problem
in the minds of Canadian policymakers and academics. Notwithstanding much
study of the issue, as well as policy initiatives designed to address the
innovation and productivity gaps, it seems fair to say that we know much
less than we should about the causes of and remedies for those gaps. In
this respect, Jorge Niosi adds valuable information about how innovation
activity has evolved over time in Canada. In particular, Niosi provides
detailed discussions of the emergence and evolution in Canada of what has
been called regional innovation systems (RIS). In the course of the
discussions, he also offers some valuable policy insights with respect to
promoting the growth of RIS.

Policing Chinese Politics: A History

Policing Chinese Politics: A History, Michael Dutton, Durham:
Duke University Press, pp. xiii, 411.This book is an empirically rich illumination of Carl Schmitt's
notion that “the political” rests ultimately on a
friend/enemy distinction. It depicts “the birth, life and death
cycle” of this ever-shifting dynamic in modern Chinese history
(303–4), through the lens of the coupling of the political with
policing. The result is a tale that must enhance the reputation of this
already-respected political scientist.
Social Policy and the Ethic of Care
Authors: Hughes Bill 
Published: April 2008

Social Policy and the Ethic of Care, Olena Hankivsky,
Vancouver: UBC Press, 2004, pp. 178.In this tightly argued text, Olena Hankivsky examines “the
potential of an ethic of care to transform the assumptions, content,
concepts and meaning of social justice” (30). This is a big task for
a small book but the author not only makes a persuasive theoretical case
for an ethic of care but also manages to demonstrate the practical
efficacy of her argument by showing how an ethic of care can inspire a
reformation of social policy. The liberal case for social justice, the
author contends, falls flat and remains abstract unless it is
fundamentally transformed by the normative assumptions that arise from a
moral landscape fully informed by the ubiquity of human interdependence.
The liberal conception of social justice is shackled by its emphasis on
the autonomous citizen and an abstract conception of humanity. It fails to
recognize that rights arise from needs.

répondre, l'auteur procède en plusieurs étapes
et commence par mettre en évidence ce qu'il désigne
comme des “ raisons sociocognitives qui font que telle ou telle
catégorie d'intellectuels développe une attitude
négative à l'égard du libéralisme ”
(p. 16). Par la suite, il examine quelques raisons qui feraient que
certains discours sur l'anti-libéralisme trouvent un auditoire
à la fois aussi nombreux et aussi attentif. Ce livre clair et
vivant fait suite à une conférence publique donnée en
Suisse en septembre 2003.

Economics as Ideology: Keynes, Laski, Hayek, and the Creation of
Contemporary Politics
Authors: Dobuzinskis Laurent 
Published: April 2008

Economics as Ideology: Keynes, Laski, Hayek, and the Creation of
Contemporary Politics, Kenneth R. Hoover, Rowman and Littlefield,
2003, pp. xv, 329.Although it was published two years ago, this book remains relevant to
many contemporary debates about the optimal relationship between market
and state institutions, especially if we want to set these debates within
a historical context. To provide an account of the development of economic
thinking in the twentieth century, Hoover carefully examines the lives,
personalities and writings of three emblematic thinkers: Harold Laski,
John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich A. Hayek. The title is somewhat
misleading in the sense that it refers to a particular meaning of the term
“ideology” that may not be shared by all those who come across
this book, but the author justifies it by explaining that he takes
ideology to mean a set of a priori contestable propositions that are posed
as being unchallengeable or, in other words, have been
“decontested.” Thus the question he is interested in is:
“Why did these thinkers decontest ideas about government and the
market in the way they did?” (4).
TENSOR PRODUCTS OF MAXIMAL ABELIAN SUBALGBERAS OF C*-ALGEBRAS
Authors: WASSERMANN SIMON 
Published: April 2008

AbstractIt is shown that if C1 and C2 are maximal abelian self-adjoint subalgebras (masas) of C*-algebras A1 and A2, respectively, then the completion C1 ⊗ C2 of the algebraic tensor product C1 ⊙ C2 of C1 and C2 in any C*-tensor product A1 ⊗βA2 is maximal abelian provided that C1 has the extension property of Kadison and Singer and C2 contains an approximate identity for A2. Examples are given to show that this result can fail if the conditions on the two masas do not both hold. This gives an answer to a long-standing question, but leaves open some other interesting problems, one of which turns out to have a potentially intriguing implication for the Kadison-Singer extension problem.

Assume that λ = 0 is an eigenvalue ofAand consider the family of perturbed operatorsA+ ϵB, where ϵ is a real parameter. Denote bySthe unit sphere ofXand letSA=S∩ KerAbe the set of unit 0-eigenvectors ofA. We say that a vectorx0∈SAis abifurcation pointfor the unit eigenvectors ofA+ ϵBif any neighborhood of (0,0,x0) ∈$\R$×$\R$×Xcontains a triple (ϵ, λ,x) with ϵ ≠ 0 andxa unit λ-eigenvector ofA+ ϵB, i.e.x∈Sand (A+ ϵB)x= λx.We give necessary as well as sufficient conditions for a unit 0-eigenvector ofAto be a bifurcation point for the unit eigenvectors ofA+ ϵB. These conditions turn out to be particularly meaningful when the perturbing operatorBis linear. Moreover, since our sufficient condition is trivially satisfied when KerAis one-dimensional, we extend a result of the first author, under the additional assumption thatBis of classC2.

Published: April 2008

AbstractIn this paper we introduce the notion of normally ordered block-group as a natural extension of the notion of normally ordered inverse semigroup considered previously by the author. We prove that the classNOSof all normally ordered block-groups forms a pseudovariety of semigroups and, by using the Munn representation of a block-group, we deduce the decompositions in Mal'cev productsNOS=EI$\petite m$POIandNOS∩A=N$\petite m$POI, whereA,EIandNdenote the pseudovarieties of all aperiodic semigroups, all semigroups with just one idempotent and all nilpotent semigroups, respectively, andPOIdenotes the pseudovariety of semigroups generated by all semigroups of injective order-preserving partial transformations on a finite chain. These relations are obtained after showing the equalitiesBG=EI$\petite m$Ecom=N$\petite m$Ecom, whereBGandEcomdenote the pseudovarieties of all block-groups and all semigroups with commuting idempotents, respectively.
Reviving Leviathan: Fiscal Federalism and the Growth of Government
Authors: Rodden Jonathan 
Published: April 2008

AbstractThis article revisits the influential “Leviathan” hypothesis, which posits that tax competition limits the growth of government spending in decentralized countries. I use panel data to examine the effect of fiscal decentralization over time within countries, attempting to distinguish between decentralization that is funded by intergovernmental transfers and local taxation. First, I explore the logic whereby decentralization should restrict government spending if state and local governments have wide-ranging authority to set the tax base and rate, especially on mobile assets. In countries where this is most clearly the case, decentralization is associated with smaller government. Second, consistent with theoretical arguments drawn from welfare economics and positive political economy, I show that governments grow faster as they fund a greater portion of public expenditures through intergovernmental transfers.
Pre-operative prediction of ‘dry taps’
Authors: Henney S , Counter P , Mirza S , Gedling P , Watson C 
Published: April 2008

AbstractObjectives:The treatment of children with ‘glue ear’ often presents surgeons with the question of whether or not to insert a grommet when myringotomy reveals no fluid in the middle ear. We present a study designed to assess which factors contribute to the presence of a ‘dry tap’.Design:We prospectively gathered data from a cohort of 280 children (504 myringotomies). The cohort included two subgroups, one received halothane and nitrous oxide anaesthesia, and the other received enflurane anaesthesia.Setting:The ENT department of a district general hospital.Participants:Children (aged less than 17 years) requiring myringotomy.Main outcome measures:The presence of a ‘glue’ or dry tap at myringotomy was documented. We also recorded data on the following: pre- and post-induction tympanometry; age; season; anaesthetic type; and the delay from listing to actual operation.Results:A non type B pre-induction tympanogram and delay to operation were strong indications of finding a dry tap at surgery.Conclusions:In our study population, the proportion of dry taps at myringotomy was 18 per cent. The presence of a dry tap was rarely due to the induction of anaesthesia. Multivariate analysis revealed that the combination of factors most likely to predict a dry tap were non type B tympanogram and delay to operation.
