“…Following the famous 'end of history' by Fukuyama (1989), new titles were published, both within and outside academia, announcing the 'end of geography ' (O' Brien, 1992), the 'end of the nation-state' (Guéhenno, 1995;Ohmae, 1995), and the 'end of territory' (Badie, 1995). The general idea behind this end-ism was that the triumph of Western democracy and its market economy would have brought a new era of cultural and geographical homogeneity, a borderless world or, to use a more recent image, a 'flat world' (Friedman, 2005).…”

This article aims to stimulate a new theoretical debate around the notion of territory in the age of globalization. Rather than espousing the neoliberalist view on de-territorialization or contributing to the examination of the new 'spatial fixes' associated with the re-territorialization of modes of capital production and accumulation, the article focuses on the politicoinstitutional dimension of territory. My argument is that we should not limit our understanding of territory to a device in the hands of the state to control and to contain people, but explore the role that territory plays as a principle of social organization and integration in today's multicultural societies. This argument is discussed in relation to the so-called 'crisis of the hyphen', i.e. the increasingly problematic link between the nation and the state within Western European societies.

“…These range from identity-based explanations (Fearon and Van Houten 2002;Nimni 2005) to distributional or efficiency pressures to international factors such as European integration (Hooghe 1995;Hooghe et al 2010) and globalized economic competition (Ohmae 1993;Zürn and Lange 1999;Conversi 2001), which might fuel regional autonomy demands and therefore have an impact on decentralization reforms. I concentrate on three broad strands under which most relevant approaches can be subsumed: identity pressures, distributional pressures and pre-existing institutional framework (Riker 1964;Chhibber and Kollman 2004;Hooghe et al 2010).…”

South-East Europe presents a compelling agenda: a region that has challenged European identities, values and interests like no other at formative periods of modern history, and is now undergoing a set of complex transitions. It is a region made up of new and old European Union member states, as well as aspiring ones; early 'democratising' states and new post-communist regimes; states undergoing liberalizing economic reforms, partially inspired by external forces, whilst coping with their own embedded nationalisms; and states obliged to respond to new and recurring issues of security, identity, well-being, social integration, faith and secularization.This series examines issues of inheritance and adaptation. The disciplinary reach incorporates politics and international relations, modern history, economics and political economy and sociology. It links the study of South-East Europe across a number of social sciences to European issues of democratization and economic reform in the post-transition age. It addresses ideas as well as institutions, policies as well as processes. It will include studies of the domestic and foreign policies of single states, relations between states and peoples in the region, and between the region and beyond. The EU is an obvious reference point for current research on South-East Europe, but this series also highlights the importance of South-East Europe in its eastern context: the Caucuses, the Black Sea and the Middle East.

“…Si je comprends bien, selon Landry, la « complétude institutionnelle » dans son acception plus « sociale » constituerait l'une des dimensions de sa conception de « l'autonomie culturelle » (2009 ; Landry, Forgues et Traisnel, 2010). À cet égard, il convient de distinguer cette dernière de l'autonomie nationale culturelle (ANC) qui renvoie à une dimension plus « étatique » de l'autonomie, quoiqu'envisagée sous un angle non territorial (Nimmi, 2005(Nimmi, et 2008. Nous y reviendrons plus loin.…”

La typologie dominante relative aux minorités – qui distingue « minorités nationales », « peuples autochtones » et « minorités ethniques » issues de l’immigration – ne permet pas de saisir la spécificité et la complexité des situations des communautés francophones en milieu minoritaire (CFMM) du Canada. L’auteure propose trois pistes de réflexions visant à rendre plus visible le sort des CFMM dans la classification du droit des minorités : remplacer les catégories rigides par un « continuum », introduire de tels « continuum » au sein de chacune des catégories, et, enfin, l’ajout d’une catégorie à ce que l’on pourrait qualifier de « triptyque de Kymlicka ». Mieux situer les CFMM dans les schémas conceptuels relatifs à l’aménagement de la diversité nécessite notamment une clarification des aspirations autonomistes des CFMM, et plus particulièrement de leur positionnement par rapport à l’autonomie politique (dans le sens « d’étatique » ou de « gouvernementale »).
