The aim is to bring to the public's attention work relating to political and public life in three complementary dimensions: the actors, the acts, and the (public) action.</p> <p>ACTORS By 'actors' we mean the institutions of contemporary political regimes and the organizations that work therein: political parties, trade unions, associations, and pressure groups.</p> <p>ACTS This axis covers all studies relating to political participation in a broad sense: the electoral phenomenon and the recomposition of political and social landscapes. Other forms of political and social participation are also analysed: spontaneous mobilisations, organised militancy, social movements, forms of action, their symbolic dimensions, their effects, as well as the attitudes that are situated at the root of these modes of political and social participation.</p> <p>PUBLIC ACTION This third axis covers publications related to decision-making processes and public policy formation: political agenda-setting, stakeholder mobilization, negotiation and decision-making processes, implementation and evaluation. The ambition here is to deepen knowledge on the political actors, representations and behaviours of the two previous axes with an analysis of institutional facts, their evolution, and their influence on political life.</p> 44 <p>Sans être exclusif, son champ de publication peut être subdivisé en trois grands axes généraux. Il s'agit en fait de porter à la connaissance du public les travaux relatifs à la vie politique et publique sous trois dimensions complémentaires : l'acteur, l'acte et l'action.</p> <p>Les acteurs. Par acteurs, nous entendons les institutions des régimes politiques contemporains et les organisations qui y œuvrent : partis politiques, syndicats, associations et groupes de pression.</p> <p>L'acte.Cet axe recouvre toutes les études relatives à la participation politique au sens large : phénomène électoral et recomposition des paysages politiques et sociaux. Sont aussi analysées les autres formes de participation politique et sociale : les mobilisations spontanées, la militance organisée, les mouvements sociaux., les formes de l'action, leurs dimensions symboliques, leurs effets et les attitudes qui sont au fondement de ces modes de participation politique et sociale.</p> <p>L'action publique. Ce troisième axe couvre les publications relatives aux processus décisionnels et à la formation des politiques publiques : formation de l'agenda politique, mobilisation des acteurs, processus de négociation et de décision, mise en œuvre et évaluation. L'ambition est d'approfondir la connaissance sur les acteurs, les représentations et comportements politiques des deux axes précédents avec une analyse des faits institutionnels, de leurs évolutions et de leur influence sur la vie politique.</p> 06 03 01 https://www.editions-ulb.be/resources/titles/74530100019310/images/5751ec3e9a4feab575962e78e006250d/HIGHQ/9782800419466.jpg 20260113 07 03 01 https://www.editions-ulb.be/resources/titles/74530100019310/images/5751ec3e9a4feab575962e78e006250d/THUMBNAIL/9782800419466.jpg 20260113 02 https://www.editions-ulb.be/en/book/?GCOI=74530100019310 Éditions de l'Université de Bruxelles 01 Éditions de l'Université de Bruxelles 04 20260612 2026 01 8.35 in 02 6.42 in 03 0.90 in 08 13.05 oz 01 21.20 cm 02 16.30 cm 03 0.90 cm 08 370 gr
