Afin de déterminer l'évolution de la structure de production et de spécialisation d'une économie sous l'effet d'une perturbation externe, l'auteur décrit les modèles de spécialisation utilisés traditionellement dans la théorie classique et néo-classique du commerce international. Après avoir étudié l'impact des modifications de prix relatifs dans un modèle dépourvu des hypothèses traditionnelles de mobilité des facteurs de production et de flexibilité des rémunérations à la baisse, les effets des mouvements de capitaux ont été analysés. Puis les effets théoriques des modifications des positions externes ont été mis en lumière, ce qui a montré les divergences sensibles qui séparent les différents modèles, tant réels que monétaires, et a mis en évidence la fragilité des propositions couramment formulées au sujet des liens qui s'établiraient entre les déclins sectoriels et la position externe d'une économie.
Population, the state, and national grandeur
Demography as political science in modern France
In France, demography is uniquely regarded as a vital population science, prominently featured in education, media, and ideological debates. This national identity issue has roots in a political history that intensified during the Second World War under the Vichy regime and evolved post-Liberation with the establishment of population policies and the French National Institute for Demographic Studies (INED). This work is the first to explore the controversial origins of this phenomenon and its long-term implications. It illustrates how theories, institutions, and demographic policies emerged concurrently in France, reflecting on the interplay between ideologies, science, and the state, which could serve as a model for understanding other scientific fields. Paul-André Rosental’s essential study investigates the rise of demography as an independent discipline linked to the state in mid-twentieth-century France. The discipline's success in the post-war era stemmed from its dual focus on "science" and "action," enabling policymakers to assert both knowledge and expertise in tackling social issues. Rosental’s nuanced argument provides a thought-provoking perspective for those engaged in the history of human sciences.
This, the second Festschrift honoring the dean of Gustav Mahler Scholarship, Henry-Louis de La Grange for his 90th birthday, includes vibrant, new historical, theoretical and aesthetic research on the complex mind which produced among the best-loved orchestral works and songs of Western classical music.
