Ingénieur agronome, Daniel Tanuro a signé dans Le Monde diplomatique de décembre 2007 une critique du livre de Jared Diamond Effondrement [ 1 ]. A la suite de cette publication, de nombreux lecteurs nous ont écrit pour nous faire part de leur indignation. Ils jugent injustifié le procès fait à ce scientifique et militant écologiste renommé qu’est Jared Diamond. D’où ce forum, destiné à leur permettre de débattre directement avec l’auteur de l’article. Parmi les courriers reçus, celui de Colin Sanchez, reproduit dans le courrier des lecteurs du Monde diplomatique de janvier 2008 ; mais aussi, par exemple, celui de Bernard Thierry, biologiste au Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), qui écrit :
« Effondrement », de Jared Diamond
Toubabou à Bamako
L'idée qui ressort actuellement dans la presse internationale est que vaincre les islamistes ne servira à rien, ou ne sera pas suffisant et ne réglera pas la crise actuelle. Cette idée me ramène quelques mois, voire quelques années, en arrière. Le Mali a longtemps été un des chouchous des bailleurs de fonds et, d'une année à l'autre, les conventions de financement se renouvelaient régulièrement, tout au moins dans le secteur que je connais, celui de l'eau et de l'assainissement. Les éloges ne tarissaient pas sur ce pays, démocratique, exemple pour la sous-région, tout allait très bien.The United States in the World – Just Wars and Just Societies: An Interview with Michael Walzer You've been highly critical of the Bush administration's policy towards and especially of their attempt to legitimate a doctrine of preventive war. At the same time, you have suggested that European critics of the US administration – especially the French and German governments – have failed to take seriously their own responsibility for the maintenance of a peaceful international order and have undermined international efforts to contain Saddam Hussein. Could you say something about how these criticisms are connected to the account of just war you defend in Just and Unjust Wars ? In your view, how should European powers see their international role in a world in which the is as militarily dominant as at present

What we stand for.... Imprints aims to promote a critical discussion of egalitarian and socialist ideas, freed from theoretical dogma but committed to the viability of an egalitarian and democratic politics, and open to the possibility of such politics at the international level. We take it for granted that most societies in the world are characterised by class oppression, but that class division does not exhaust the unjust inequalities to which their peoples are subject. Contributions are invited on topics such as the theory and practice of equality in domestic and global contexts, the theory of history, the normative foundations of social inquiry; and on social inequality, political practice, and institutional change. The criteria for the acceptance of papers include analytical power and empirical rigour; no school of thought or intellectual tradition is excluded, though we are committed to the view that the world remains a rationally intelligible place.
