AbstractThis research aims at integrating perceptual variable in systemic analysis. It deals with iraqi enemy images diffused by president Bush and his administration since 2002. Two ideas are put forward. First of all, American president would transform Irak in an enemy although this State stands for a puppet or a colony actor. Besides, Bush administration diffuses such images so as to preserve unipolarity and to develop cultural homogenization but these perspectives could destabilize the system on the whole. At last, approach of images would not keep away material dimension of international system but try to complete this analysis by tackling sense of action that actors adopt.

AbstractThe dramatic growth of “Made in China” products is primarily a consequence of the political will of the Chinese authorities to engage China in the new international division of labour. The “Made in China” products should be more qualified with “Made with China” products than the “Made by China” products, because these products, in many cases, are the result of a globally organized production, involving activities realized in different countries, creating therefore major changes in the global economic order. Therefore, only a portion of “Chinese Price” to “Chinese Design” or “Chinese Brand” does not guarantee the future success of “Made in China” on the international market. The future of “Made in China” seems to go rather with “Made with the World” than “Made for the World”.
Keywords: produits made in China, nouvelle division internationale du travail, “made in China” products, new international division of labour

AbstractThis paper uses recently declassified sources to trace Ottawa's reaction to the Hungarian Revolution, challenging the traditional view that Canadian policy was swift and generous. It argues that Ottawa responded to the events in Budapest cautiously, keeping with the modest dimensions of its foreign policy. While the government's decision to accept almost 40 000 Hungarian refugees remains at the core of the narrative, this paper also explores the revolution's impact on Canadian foreign policy. It locates the reaction to the crisis against the backdrop of Ottawa's evolving attitude toward the ussr after Stalin's death. The moderation in Canada's Soviet policy beginning in 1954 conditioned the response to the crisis in Hungary and reinforced Ottawa's determination to engage the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe constructively, despite the events of November 1956.

To the French military, still recovering from their defeat in Indochina, the Algerian war was but the final outcome of the "subversive war" carried out by international communism against the colonial empires of the "imperialistic" powers since 1920. The historical analysis does not corroborate this far too unlateral interpretation of the complex and ambiguous relations which existed between the communist and the nationalist movements of Algeria: the algerian FLN in the beginning was no less anticommunist than antinationalist. However, the strategic and diplomatic needs of its struggle against France led it to lean progressively towards the "socialist" States instead of the "imperialistic" West, thereby foregoing its initial neutralism. This has profoundly affected the paths taken by independent Algeria.
