Résumé : Etude des archives coloniales des Indes néerlandaises de 1830 à 1930, fondée sur l'analyse des cartes, des archives familiales, des organismes gouvernementaux ou des organisations religieuses. Elle révèle les contradictions et les angoisses de l'empire, les doutes de ses administrateurs, écartelés entre un Etat colonial lointain et leurs liens tangibles avec la culture et la population locales. ©Electre 2019

Résumé : This book seeks to contribute a new perspective to contemporary policy discourse in Singapore: classical liberalism, which emphasises the importance of epistemic humility, dispersed knowledge noninterventionism, and polycentricity in institutional arrangements. This perspective will bear on old and current debates such as the implications of Asian values, meritocracy & elitism, the recent attention placed on environmental protection, as well as the growing concern about socio-economic disparities in Singapore. It will show that Singaporean policy discourse has proceeded in a binary fashion, involving the dominant perspective led by the incumbent People's Action Party (PAP) and the newer paradigm on the left led by academics, media professionals, and anti-establishment political figures. We aim to shift the debate from this binary, political level of analysis to a higher, institutional level of analysis which explores the appropriate mix of state-market relations necessary to tackle policy challenges. We present a positive vision recommending institutions that promote choice, competition, and diversity, addressing the legitimate concerns of both sides while transcending the current discourse. - Note de l'éditeur

Résumé : The timely interrogation of US-Mexico borderlands holds particular currency where the racialized rhetoric and sexualized violence of the current body politic of the US government is concerned. What with caged Mexican children, privatized US Immigration detention centers, migrant detainee deaths and human rights abuses, and associated patterns of political graft and corruption, the paroxysm of racialized forms of state-sanctioned social violence in the borderlands has morphed into something largely unforeseen a few years ago. Hernández (San Diego State) has produced a stunningly brilliant call to action and an intellectually vibrant interdisciplinary interrogation of the origins, nature, and extent of borderlands violence. Drawing on an interpretive schema centered on coloniality as opposed to colonialism, Hernández dissects and deconstructs the colonial and frontier origins of that deeply ingrained corpus of dehumanizing violence(s) born of an epistemic of racialized and sexualized cultural and sociopolitical constructs. This he contends is the product of “the cartographic prison of modernity/coloniality” born of those colonial systems of racialized/sexualized violence that persist, sans the institutions that originally spawned and propagated their proliferation within the contemporary interstate system of racialized Indigenous oppression and surveillance. - Note de l'éditeur
