Cet ouvrage revêt la forme d'un éventail en ce sens qu'il est constitué de dialogues organisés par Armen Tarpinian (directeur de la revue psychologie de la motivation) avec seize spécialistes de disciplines aussi diverses que la psychologie et l'astrophysique, l'écologie et l'économie, la pédagogie et la religion, la médecine et la sociologie, la philosophie et le droit. Loin de se résoudre en éclectisme, ces dialogues ont pour titre et pour projet la transdisciplinarité, c'est-à-dire la remise en cause de l'atomisation (...) des compétences qui prévaut tellement aujourd'hui. Les traits d'union comptent donc autant que les disciplines constituées. L'auteur interroge tour à tour des spécialistes reconnus et expérimentés, leur riche Bibliographie en témoigne. Ils ne disent pas tout ce qu'ils savent, mais s'attachent à mettre en valeur la complémentarité des diverses disciplines, en particulier celles qui étudient le monde extérieur (écologie, économie, politique, etc.) et celles qui sont liées au monde intérieur (psychologie intime et relationnelle, sciences de l'éducation, psychothérapie).

Scholars have long debated whether welfare policymaking in industrialized democracies is responsive to citizen preferences and whether such policymaking is more responsive to rich than to poor citizens. Debate has been hampered, however, by difficulties in matching data on attitudes toward particular policies to data on changes in the generosity of actual policies. This article uses better, more targeted measures of policy change that allow more valid exploration of responsiveness for a significant range of democracies. It does so by linking (...) multicountry and multiwave survey data on attitudes toward health, pension, and unemployment policies and data on actual policy generosity, not just spending, in these domains. The analysis reveals that attitudes correlate strongly with subsequent changes in welfare generosity in the three policy areas and that such responsiveness is much stronger for richer than for poorer citizens. Representation is likely real but also vastly unequal in the welfare politics of industrialized democracies. (shrink)
