Bøger af Alexis De Tocqueville

Demokrati i Amerika er et idéhistorisk hovedværk, der giver den historiske baggrund for det amerikanske demokrati. Nu genudgives den anmelderroste oversættelse i et tobindsværk med nyt forord af Rune Lykkeberg.I 1831 rejste den unge, franske aristokrat Alexis de Tocqueville rundt i USA. Demokrati i Amerika er resultatet af hans undersøgelser af det amerikanske samfund og det spirende, amerikanske demokrati.Tocqueville var overbevist om, at de fremherskende lighedsprincipper afspejlede tidsånden, og han forudså, at det gamle Europa havde samme udvikling i vente. Demokrati i Amerika er et imponerende studie af styrker og svagheder i det demokratiske system. Tocqueville afviste ikke demokratiet, men var dybt skeptisk over for den demokratiske fare for flertalstyranni og populisme. En af hans centrale indsigter er, at demokrati ikke kun skal studeres i de politiske institutioner, men lige så meget i vaner og skikke. Det er den demokratiske livsform, som Tocqueville både fascineres og anfægtes af.

Ces Souvenirs, publiés en 1893, ont été lus, relus et maintes fois cités, en raison d'abord d'une qualité littéraire qui ne faillit pas: l'art du portrait, le génie de la formule, la lucidité du témoin produisent des morceaux de bravoure saisissants. Source historique sur l' apprentissage du suffrage universel et les travaux de la Constituante, le livre donne à réfléchir sur l'impuissance (provisoire) du centrisme, serré dans l'étau des passions antagoniques. Hostile aux chefs de la gauche, Tocqueville redoute l'esprit de revanche de la droite qui risque soit de replonger le pays dans les tumultes révolutionnaires, soit d'aboutir à la trique maniée par un prince-président qui en finirait avec la république. Les conditions d'un régime républicain modéré ne seront réunies qu'une trentaine d'années plus tard.

Je ne crois pas que la France puisse songer sérieusement à quitter l'Algérie. L'abandon qu'elle en ferait serait aux yeux du monde l'annonce certaine de sa décadence. Il y aurait beaucoup moins d'inconvénient à nous voir enlever de vive force notre conquête par une nation rivale. Un peuple dans toute sa vigueur et au milieu même de sa force d'expansion, peut être malheureux à la guerre et y perdre des provinces. Cela s'est vu pour les Anglais qui, après avoir été contraints de signer en 1783 un traité qui leur enlevait leurs plus belles colonies, étaient arrivés, moins de trente ans après, à dominer toutes les mers et à occuper les plus utiles positions commerciales sur tous les continents. Mais si la France reculait devant une entreprise où elle n'a devant elle que les difficultés naturelles du pays et l'opposition des petites tribus barbares qui l'habitent, elle paraîtrait aux yeux du monde plier sous sa propre impuissance et succomber par son défaut de c¿ur. Tout peuple qui lâche aisément ce qu'il a pris et se retire paisiblement de lui-même dans ses anciennes limites, proclame que les beaux temps de son histoire sont passés. Il entre visiblement dans la période de son déclin.

Alexis de Tocqueville, connu pour ses écrits sur la démocratie et la société, a effectivement rédigé un rapport sur l'Algérie. Il a été envoyé en mission en Algérie en 1841 pour évaluer la situation coloniale française dans la région. Son rapport, "Premier Rapport sur l'Algérie", rédigé en 1847, offre une analyse détaillée de la situation politique, sociale et économique de l'Algérie à cette époque. Tocqueville y expose ses observations sur la colonisation française et ses conséquences sur la population indigène, tout en abordant les défis et les enjeux liés à la présence française dans la région. Ce rapport est souvent étudié pour comprendre les débuts de la colonisation française en Algérie et les questions entourant cette entreprise coloniale.

He raises concerns about the "tyranny of the majority" in democratic societies.Individualism: Tocqueville notes the prevalence of individualism in American society and discusses its potential for both isolation and self-reliance, fostering an entrepreneurial spirit and civic engagement.Voluntary Associations: Tocqueville highlights the importance of voluntary associations, such as civic groups and religious organizations, in American life. He sees them as vital for maintaining a vibrant civil society in a democratic context.Local Governance: Tocqueville praises America's system of local government, known as "township democracy," as a training ground for civic participation and political education.Religion's Role: Tocqueville discusses the significant role of religion in American life and politics, noting its influence on moral values and its role in moderating the potential excesses of democracy.Tyranny of the Majority: Tocqueville warns about the danger of the "tyranny of the majority" in democracies, where the majority can suppress the rights and voices of minority groups."Democracy in America" remains a profound analysis of American democracy and continues to provide valuable insights into the dynamics and challenges of democracy worldwide.
