The establishment of democracy on both sides of the Atlantic has not been a smooth evolution towards an idealized presumed endpoint. Far from it, democratization has been marked by setbacks and victories, a process often referred to as ‘contested democracy’. In view of recent mobilizations such as the Arab Spring and the Occupy movement, in which new technologies have played a key role, there is a need for a renewed analysis of the long-term evolution of US and UK political systems. Using new areas of research, this book argues that the ideals and the practices of Anglo-American democracy can be best understood by studying diverse forms of participation, which go beyond classical expressions of contestation and dissent such as voting. The authors analyze political parties, social movements, communications and social media, governance, cultural diversity, identity politics, public-private actors and social cohesion to illustrate how the structure and context of popular participation play a significant role in whether, and when, citizens´ efforts have any meaningful impact on those who exercise political power. In doing so, the authors take crucial steps towards understanding how a vigorous public sphere and popular sovereignty can be made to work in today’s global environment.This book will be of interest to students and scholars of political science, British and US history, democracy, political participation, governance, social movements and politics.

Labour United and Divided from the 1830s to the Present

Spanning a period which stretches from the 19th century to the present day, this book takes a novel look at the British labour movement by examining the interaction between trade unions, the Labour Party, other parties and groups of the Left, and the wider working class, to highlight the dialectic nature of these relationships, marked by consensus and dissention. It shows that, although perceived as a source of weakness, those inner conflicts have also been a source of creative tension, at times generating significant breakthroughs. The book brings together labour historians and political scientists who provide a range of case studies as well as more wide-ranging assessments of recent trends in labour organising. It will therefore be of interest to academics and students of history and politics, as well as to practitioners, in the British Isles and beyond.

This book provides the first nuanced and systematic study of Labour’s internal politics in the years in opposition, between 2010 and 2024, under the leaderships of Ed Miliband, Jeremy Corbyn and Keir Starmer. Written by two authors equipped with an intimate knowledge of the party, it offers an authoritative exploration of the politics of party management in one of the most strife-ridden and turbulent periods of the party’s history, the Corbyn leadership, and furnishes a timely analysis of the character, purposes and underpinnings of the Starmer managerial regime. In so doing, it shines new light on often ill-understood controversies over antisemitism, the Israel/Palestine issue, and Brexitwhile reflecting on the tension between centralisation and pluralism is a party which continues to define itself as a democratic, membership organisation.

Against the backdrop of an increasingly unstable and multipolar modern world, this edited collection takes an interdisciplinary approach to explore institutional, political, social and media fragmentation in today’s increasingly polarised English-speaking world environment. Taking fragmentation as either conflictive or resulting in cooperation, it evaluates to what extent the changes induced are long-lasting and irreversible.

Introducing 20 new case studies which analyse national-level politics, local governance, civil society mobilisation and more, the chapters examine the trajectories of American and British societies. Uncovering both the positive and negative effects of fragmentation, the former materialising in shifts in power away from centralised structures towards private economic actors, citizens and consumers, as well as local authorities, thus allowing for economic innovation, individual freedom and progressive policies, and the latter leading to disunity and the inability to guarantee basic rights, or devise common strategies, maintain stable and functioning economies, and organise effective opposition to state power. Adopting a multi-level approach to exploring the various meanings of fragmentation, chapters cover a variety of political, social, and geopolitical topics. These include fragmented constitutional frameworks and settings; fragmented governance; fragmented political parties; fragmentation in activism and social mobilisation; fragmented cities and urban environments; fragmented public services provision; as well as fragmentation in media and social media.

Fragmented Powers is a rich resource for scholars of public policy, urban studies, political science, sociology, international relations, and more.

Le vote du Brexit a provoqué un séisme au Royaume-Uni et en Europe dont les ondes de choc n’ont pas fini de se faire sentir. Il a plongé le pays dans un tourbillon d’instabilité que le chaos entourant les négociations sur les modalités de la sortie de l’Union européenne n’a fait que renforcer. Il a remis en question l’idée du Royaume-Uni comme modèle de démocratie parlementaire. Au-delà, le Brexit est aussi le révélateur d’une crise durable entre le système politique et les citoyens qui vaut pour toute l’Europe. Cet ouvrage tente de sortir de l’état de sidération et d’interrogation dans lequel nous sommes aujourd’hui. Comment le Royaume-Uni a-t-il pu basculer dans une crise politique d’une telle ampleur ? Ce délitement de la société et du système politique et médiatique est-il passager ou bien constitue-t-il un point de non-retour ? Quel avenir pour les Britanniques et, au-delà, pour l’Europe dans son ensemble ? Telles sont les questions auxquelles ce livre informé et érudit s’efforce de répondre. Pauline Schnapper est professeure de civilisation britannique contemporaine à l’université Sorbonne nouvelle-Paris-III. Emmanuelle Avril est professeure de civilisation britannique contemporaine à l’université Sorbonne nouvelle-Paris-III. Spécialistes de la vie politique britannique, les auteures sont régulièrement sollicitées par les médias sur le sujet.
