Des hommes du monde entier s'y aventurent pour faire fortune. L'audacieux vice-roi Li saisit l'occasion pour transformer le siège de son pouvoir en un laboratoire de la " modernité " urbaine. La guerre des Boxeurs durant l'été 1900 transforme brutalement la ville en une commune insurrectionnelle : les sièges des concessions étrangères puis de la cité autochtone détruisent des quartiers entiers et, suite à la victoire inattendue des forces alliées, de nombreux civils chinois sont massacrés. Avec la volonté affichée de moderniser Tianjin et sa région, la Grande-Bretagne, la France, l'Allemagne, les États-Unis, la Russie, le Japon, l'Italie et l'Autriche-Hongrie fondent sur-le-champ le premier gouvernement international de l'époque contemporaine. En analysant ici tous les aspects d'une expérience politique unique, Pierre Singaravélou offre une vision renouvelée des origines de la mondialisation actuelle qui fut, dès l'origine, une coproduction entre puissances européennes, asiatiques et états-unienne. Professeur d'histoire contemporaine à l'université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne et membre de l'Institut universitaire de France, Pierre Singaravélou a publié de nombreux ouvrages sur l'histoire du fait colonial et de la mondialisation en Asie aux xixe et xxe siècles. Il dirige actuellement les Publications de la Sorbonne et le Centre d'histoire de l'Asie contemporaine.

La mondialisation n'est pas un vain mot pour désigner ce qui survient au tournant du XXe siècle à Tianjin, capitale diplomatique de l'empire du Milieu. Cette ville chinoise méconnue suscite alors la convoitise de toutes les puissances de la planète en quête de concessions territoriales. Des hommes du monde entier s'y aventurent pour faire fortune. L'audacieux vice-roi Li saisit l'occasion pour transformer le siège de son pouvoir en un laboratoire de la "modernité" urbaine. La guerre des Boxeurs durant l'été 1900 transforme brutalement la ville en une commune insurrectionnelle : les sièges des concessions étrangères puis de la cité autochtone détruisent des quartiers entiers et, suite à la victoire inattendue des forces alliées, de nombreux civils chinois sont massacrés.

En analysant ici tous les aspects d'une expérience politique unique, Pierre Singaravélou offre une vision renouvelée des origines de la mondialisation actuelle qui fut, initialement, une coproduction entre puissances européennes, asiatiques et états-unienne.

Yi-Tang Lin presents the historical process by which statistics became the language of global health for local and international health organizations. Drawing on archival material from three continents, this study investigates efforts by public health schools, philanthropic foundations, and international organizations to turn numbers into an international language for public health. Lin shows how these initiatives produced an international network of public health experts who, across various socioeconomic and political contexts, opted for different strategies when it came to setting global standards and translating local realities into numbers. Focusing on China and Taiwan between 1917 and 1960, Lin examines the reception, adaptation, and appropriation of international health statistics. She presents the dynamic interplay between numbers, experts, and policy-making in international health organizations and administrations in China and Taiwan. This title is also available as Open Access.

Whether we think of statues, plaques, street-names, practices, material or intangible forms of remembrance, the language of collective memory is everywhere, installed in the name of not only nations, or even empires, but also an international past. The essays in Sites of International Memory address the notion of a shared past, and how this idea is promulgated through sites and commemorative gestures that create or promote cultural memory of such global issues as wars, genocide, and movements of cross-national trade and commerce, as well as resistance and revolution. In doing so, this edited collection asks: Where are the sites of international memory? What are the elements of such memories of international pasts, and of internationalism? How and why have we remembered or forgotten "sites" of international memory? Which elements of these international pasts are useful in the present? Some contributors address specific sites and moments--World War II, liberation movements in India and Ethiopia, commemorations of genocide--while other pieces concentrate more on the theoretical, on the idea of cultural memory. UNESCO's presence looms large in the volume, as it is the most visible and iconic international organization devoted to creating critical heritage studies on a world stage. Formed in the aftermath of World War II, UNESCO was instrumental in promoting the idea of a "humanity" that exists beyond national, regional, or cultural borders or definitions. Since then, UNESCO's diplomatic and institutional channels have become the sites at which competing notions of international, world, and "human" communities have jostled in conjunction with politically specific understandings of cultural value and human rights. This volume has been assembled to investigate sites of international memory that commemorate a past when it was possible to imagine, identify, and invoke "international" ideas, institutions, and experiences, in diverse, historically situated contexts.

From the 1890s to the 1940s, French State and entrepreneurial companies were enticed to promote French interests, beyond mere colonial targets, for the sake of economic patriotism. Chinese concessions, not including Hong Kong, were thus inserted into geo-economic moves, and French stakeholders asserted their philosophy of competition, and displayed their means of influence and investment. In this book, the author assesses the challenges which confronted French actors in the face of powerful British imperial action overseas, all the more so because German Belgian, Japanese, and then also North-American competitors joined the fray. The book targets three concessions: Canton/Guangzhou, Tientsin/Tianjin, and Hankeou/Wuhan because of their significance in the emergence of a modern economy in the country. The three main sections of the book explore the position of French stakeholders, mainly businessmen, merchant houses, bankers, and a few industrialists, in these three port-cities and China overall. The chapters gauge their capital of influence and networking, commercial tools, and banking skills in the face of competition, the hardships of crossing the changes in economic productive systems or clusters in the various port-cities and their areas, rich with commercial offshoots. Also, several chapters underscore the uncertainties caused by geopolitical and military events in China. For each of the three concessions, commercial and banking systems, assessments of the successes and limits of the French bankers and merchants are investigated, with the aim of evaluating the reality of French entrepreneurialism and power in the regions prospected by the offshoots of French capitalism. The book will be an invaluable resource for academics interested in the history of banking and finance, business, entrepreneurship, colonialism and "economic patriotism" in Chinese history, in geo-economics and in connected history.

Comment la COP 24 a-t-elle pu se passer comme si le dernier rapport spécial du GIEC sur l'urgence climatique n'avait jamais existé ? Cet essai s'interroge sur le rôle véritable des COP. Vingt-quatre ans de COP*. Depuis un quart de siècle, les négociations sur climat font quasiment du surplace tandis que les émissions de GES poursuivent leur ascension. Fin 2018, la COP 24 s’est passée comme si le dernier rapport spécial du GIEC sur l’urgence climatique n’avait pas existé. Les États sont parfaitement instruits des dégradations rapides des écosystèmes mais s’en préoccupent-ils vraiment? Le moment est venu de nous intéresser aux causes politiques ainsi que sur le rôle des COP et des Sommets de la Terre. La structure du capitalisme et sa mondialisation à l’ère des énergies fossiles fournissent-ils des éléments de réponse ? Pour mieux orienter les actions encore possibles, cet essai, avec son éclairage historique du capitalisme fossile, explique à la fois la logique du désastre annoncé, la farce des COP et et les investissements des milieux d’affaires dans la géo-ingénierie du climat. Avec un éclairage historique du capitalisme, cet essai vous explique les causes politiques qui se cachent derrière le désastre annoncé, les COP et les investissements économiques dans la géo-ingénerie du climat. EXTRAIT Il faut signaler aussi en novembre 2017 la survenue d’un événement impliquant quelque 15 000 savants. Pour faire écho à la 23e version de la COP, ils signaient un « Warning to Humanity », un appel rappelant l’état de délabrement avancé de la planète. Mais, rien de bien nouveau par rapport aux données du bon vieux rapport Meadows datant de 1972. Si, dans ce « warning » les symptômes de la maladie sont mieux identifiés et quantifiés, manque encore le diagnostic étiologique et l’identification précise de l’agent causal du désastre environnemental. Aucun effort de synthèse ; les savants brandissent à nouveau les courbes archiconnues de la « Great Acceleration » de l’Anthropocène. Ainsi, par ce manque d’audace, ce signal d’alerte qui se voulait fort et solennel se réduit à un non-événement. On est encore plus déçu en prenant connaissance du contenu précis du « Warning to Humanity ». Alors que la famine dans le monde repart à la hausse, les rédacteurs convoquent des données de la très philanthropique Banque mondiale qui affirme que sur ce front la situation s’améliore... bizarre ! Anachronique, consensuel et surtout trop timoré, l’appel paraît suspect ; comme celui d’Heidelberg, il doit y avoir anguille sous roche ou commanditaire caché. Toujours est-il que, du haut de leur savoir, ces 15 000 savants attestent ce que les ONG savent et décrivent depuis longtemps : l’état avancé de délabrement des écosystèmes, la raréfaction rapide des ressources en eaux douces, la sur-prédation sur le poisson, les pollutions en tout genre et l’élévation constante des gaz à effet de serre (GES). Qui en est le responsable et comment mettre un terme à ces déprédations ? Voici les vraies questions du temps présent ! Ces 15 000 savants signataires du Warning ne nous le disent pas. Il va falloir le trouver nous-mêmes. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Jean-Marc Sérékian est médecin à Tours. Il a commencé à s’intéresser aux questions d’énergie alors qu’il été administrateur à la LPO Touraine. Aujourd’hui il est rédacteur pour le site Carfree (la vie sans voiture) sur les questions d’énergie et de biodiversité. Il est l’auteur de : La Course aux Energies, Ed Libertaire, 2009 ; Pourquoi Fukushima après Hiroshima ? Ed. Le Sang de la Terre, 2012 ; Gaz de schiste de Choix du pire, Ed. Sang de la Terre, 2015

While the twentieth century’s conflicting visions and exploitation of the Middle East are well documented, the origins of the concept of the Middle East itself have been largely ignored. With Dislocating the Orient, Daniel Foliard tells the story of how the land was brought into being, exploring how maps, knowledge, and blind ignorance all participated in the construction of this imagined region. Foliard vividly illustrates how the British first defined the Middle East as a geopolitical and cartographic region in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries through their imperial maps. Until then, the region had never been clearly distinguished from “the East” or “the Orient.” In the course of their colonial activities, however, the British began to conceive of the Middle East as a separate and distinct part of the world, with consequences that continue to be felt today. As they reimagined boundaries, the British produced, disputed, and finally dramatically transformed the geography of the area—both culturally and physically—over the course of their colonial era. Using a wide variety of primary texts and historical maps to show how the idea of the Middle East came into being, Dislocating the Orient will interest historians of the Middle East, the British empire, cultural geography, and cartography.

Discover the sacred myths, conquests, adventures, trade and cultural exchanges that have defined 'Asia' with this unique illustrated history of Asian cartography Asia's rich map tradition features holy sites, pilgrimage routes, maritime and land expeditions, imperial conquests and cities and European settlements and colonization. The Asian 'continent' evolved from being the only known world, to being the centre of the world to being open to the world. The maps presented here follow the journeys of Buddhist monks, traders and explorers - a 17th-century Chinese military map plots the Chinese explorer's Zheng He's 'great voyages of discovery' across the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea to Arabia and the African continent. They show the birth and expansion of imperial powers, the construction of river ways, canals and roads, and the building of new cities and capitals from Beijing in China, Seoul in Korea to Edo and Kyoto in Japan. They tell the story of modern Asian planispheres introduced by the Jesuit Matteo Ricci in the 17th century and chronicle the arrival of

"Colonial Adventures: Commercial Law and Practice in the Making addresses the question how and to what extend the development of commercial law and practice, from Ancient Greece to the colonial empires of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, were indebted to colonial expansion and maritime trade. Illustrated by experiences in Ancient Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and Australia, the book examines how colonial powers consciously or not reshaped the law in order to foster the prosperity of homeland manufacturers and entrepreneurs or how local authorities and settlers brought the transplanted law in line with the colonial objectives and the local constraints amid shifting economic, commercial and political realities.
