Le coup d'Etat: Recours à la force ou dernier mot du politique ?

Frédéric Rouvillois delves into the complex and often contentious relationship between power and force in political history. This exploration reveals how coups d'état have not only been mechanisms of change but also reflections of deeper ideological battles. The book offers insights into whether these dramatic upheavals should be viewed as necessary evils in the political arena or as the ultimate expression of political will.

With contributions from various scholars under the guidance of Christophe Boutin and Rouvillois himself, the work prominently features an array of historical examples. The text navigates the turbulent waters of political theory as it engages with the moral implications of seizing power through force. Bibliographical references enrich the tapestry of scholarship, providing a comprehensive resource for those interested in understanding the multifaceted nature of political authority and its manifestations throughout history.
