    Avant le plan Schuman du 9 mai 1950 et l¿unité européenne, Jean Monnet a été confronté aux relations économiques internationales. Pendant la Première Guerre, il invente les mécanismes du commerce et du financement international de guerre au profit des alliés. Il acquiert des compétences qui lui permettent de participer aux décisions économiques et monétaires internationales et intereuropéennes, dans le cadre de la SDN, dont il devient Secrétaire général adjoint ou comme financier privé, attaché à une banque d¿affaires américaine. Il contribue à la remise en ordre des finances autrichiennes, de l¿économie de la Haute-Silésie, et des monnaies polonaise et roumaine, voire même française. Il est invité à lancer la modernisation de la Chine de Tchang-Kaï-chek.Cependant, Monnet, qui n¿est pas un Keynes français, cherche à mettre l¿économie au service des collectivités humaines en inventant le premier Plan de modernisation et d¿équipement français. Il propose une gouvernance « fédérale » du marché, et veille au développement des potentialités des traités de Rome telles que le système monétaire européen, ou « le gouvernement européen » incarné par le Conseil européen. Monnet ne conçoit pas l¿économie sans régulation. Proche de Wall Street et des banquiers centraux, il n¿est pas un financier sans conscience puisqüil quitte la banque au nom de l¿intérêt général à partir de 1938 pour mettre son expérience et son réseau au service de la France, des Alliés et de l¿Europe. Il cherche toujours à développer les idées qui grandissent une communauté humaine et non celles qui la divisent.

    - The Avant-garde, Spectatorship, and Psychoanalysis
    by Lara Cox
    £35.49

    In 1961, Martin Esslin named a body of plays that lacked plot, character depth, and details of time and space the "Theatre of the Absurd". Esslin explained that this type of theatre, minimalist in the extreme, constituted a response to the existential crisis of Europe, which was in the midst of recovering from World War II. But the fact that this body of theatre lacked details of time and space means that we may break the ties that anchor the Theatre of the Absurd irremediably to the historical context of post-World War II Europe. How can the Theatre of the Absurd speak meaningfully to us in the twenty-first century? This book explores this question by combining the avant-garde that Martin Esslin named in 1961 in his signature work The Theatre of the Absurd with gender studies, queer theory, and psychoanalysis, and avant-garde studies. The Theatre of the Absurd is capable of subverting post-millennial institutions and ideologies, including the Prison Industrial Complex and the West¿s domination of the Islamic world in a post-9/11 era.

    - Views from Korea, Kazakhstan and France
     
    £38.49

    This book analyses the legal and political systems of three different regions of the Asian/Eurasian continent. More precisely it compares the origins of such systems as both the ancient foundations inherited from the past and the founding principles of modern systems today. It suggests that the European constructions, the East-Asian dynamics and the Centralasian transitions, often studied separately or at best in a comparison of only two of them, ought to be approached as three variations on a theme. The value for the readers and the challenge for the authors is to situate these origins within both legal norms and traditions, whether Latin or Asian, as well as within modern Anglo-Saxon common-law dimensions and remnants of the Soviet system.After Le régionalisme et ses limites (Peter Lang, 2016) and Mutations de société et réponses du droit (Peter Lang, 2017), this book furthers international, comparative research presented at conferences in Kazakhstan in 2014, France in 2016 and Korea in 2017. It covers i) law and politics in modern State-building, ii) formation and development of civil and economic law, iii) constitutionalism in Asia and in Europe, iv) international law and international relations.
