Résumé : From 1973 to 1987, Volkswagen's (VW) 140,000 hectare 'pioneer' cattle ranch on the Amazon frontier laid bare the limits of capitalist development. These limits were not only economic, with the core management of a multinational company engaged in the 'integration' of an extreme world periphery, but they were also legal and ethical, with the involvement of indentured labor and massive forest burning. Its physical limits were exposed by an unpredictable ecosystem refusing to submit to VW's technological arsenal. Antoine Acker reveals how the VW ranch, a major project supported by the Brazilian military dictatorship, was planned, negotiated, and eventually undone by the intervention of internationally connected actors and events. - Note de l'éditeur

Résumé : Analyse des différentes formes de révoltes urbaines au 17e siècle, des actions individuelles aux mouvements organisés comme le mouvement de l'Ormée à Bordeaux. La "culture de la rétribution"était une forme de politique populaire dont les racines remontent aux guerres de religion et qui préfigurent les mouvements démocratiques à venir. La violence urbaine ne se limitait pas aux collecteurs d'impôt mais aussi aux magistrats urbains, tenus pour traitres. En explorant en profondeur cette interaction des foules et des autorités locales - tiraillées entre les ordres royaux et les nécessités de la gestion locale - l'auteur apporte une contribution importante à l'étude de la monarchie absolue, des structures urbaines de pouvoir et des contestations urbaines.

Résumé : The urban energy transition represents a transformation of such magnitude that it will require a re-examination of the fundamental relationship between societies and energy resources. The potential for cities to deliver sustainable energy for their citizens requires context-specific action. One-size-fits-all approaches - which assume homogeneity across cities and economies of scale in the extension of electricity networks - have largely failed to deliver sustainable energy for all. This challenge is existential, questioning the fundamental ways in which contemporary life is organized around energy. This innovative volume argues that the urban energy transition depends on specific urban trajectories and heterogeneous urban energy landscapes, reflecting both strategic projects of urbanization and people's dwelling practices. Looking at in-depth case studies of urban energy landscapes in four major cities, it calls for citizens' active engagement with experimentation in everyday life. The book will have wide interdisciplinary appeal to researchers in energy, urban and environmental studies.

Edited by Dan Reiter with contributing authors who are all leading scholars in the field, it balances approachable, engaging writing with a conceptually rigorous overview of the most important ideas in conflict studies.

Enriching the textbook pedagogy, each chapter concludes with a summary of a published quantitative study to introduce students with no prior quantitative training to quantitative analysis.
