Authoritarian Absorption unveils the transformation of China's pandemic response system from 1978 to 2018 through its battle against HIV/AIDS. Chinese bureaucrats, facing pressure from foreign agencies--especially those of the US and UK--and grassroots social movements, developed ways to turn epidemics into opportunities for enhancing domestic control and international stature. Drawing on longitudinal-ethnographic research, Yan Long reveals how Western liberal interventions can simultaneously bolster public health institutions and reinforce authoritarian power, a development pivotal to China's subsequent handling of COVID-19 and instrumental in advancing the rights of groups like gay men.

Dans une société mondialisée et numérique, le Droit, fondé sur les principes fondamentaux de liberté et d'égalité individuelles, a de plus en plus affaire aux nombres pour définir, ajuster et évaluer en permanence ses normes. Beaucoup de juristes y voient une perte de sens et un détournement du Droit au profit d'un système de contrôle social, porté par le néo-libéralisme et les intérêts des grandes entreprises multinationales. Mais d'autres considèrent que les nombres sont la seule manière de révéler et d'affronter les problématiques majeures de nos sociétés: dommages causés à l'environnement, oubliés de l'Etat-Providence et de la mondialisation, violences faites aux femmes et aux enfants,..., mais aussi juste concurrence entre les Nations, en matière industrielle ou agricole. Dans ce contexte, se pose aussi, en des termes renouvelés, la question de l'efficacité du Droit. L'ouvrage envisage ces thématiques dans plusieurs chapitres consacrés à la construction des nombres, à l'organisation des institutions publiques, aux nouveaux défis induits dans les domaines du droit de la famille, du droit social et du droit économique, à l'administration de la justice et enfin à la place du calcul dans le raisonnement du juge. Plus de quarante auteurs participent à ce volume majeur, universitaires, parlementaires et hauts magistrats, dont tous les Chefs de Cour des plus grandes juridictions françaises
