s the Asian stem family different from its<br />
European counterpart? This question is a<br />
central issue in this collection of essays assembled<br />
by two historians of the family in Eurasian<br />
perspective . The stem family is characterized<br />
by the residential rule that only one<br />
married child remains with the parents . This<br />
rule has a direct effect upon household structure<br />
. In short, the stem family is a domestic<br />
unit of production and reproduction that persists<br />
over generations, handing down the patrimony<br />
through non-egalitarian inheritance .<br />
In spite of its ambiguous status in current family<br />
typology as something lurking in the valley<br />
between the nuclear family and the joint<br />
family, the stem family was an important family<br />
form in pre-industrial Western Europe and<br />
has been a focus of the European family history<br />
since Frédéric Le Play and more recently<br />
<strong>Peter</strong> Laslett . However, the encounter with<br />
Asian family history has revealed that many<br />
areas in Asia also had and still have a considerable<br />
proportion of households with a stemfamily<br />
structure . The stem family debate has<br />
entered a new stage . In this book, some studies<br />
that benefited from recently created large<br />
databases present micro-level analyses of dynamic<br />
aspects of family systems, while others<br />
discuss more broadly the rise and fall of family<br />
systems, past and present . A main concern<br />
of this book is whether the family type in a society<br />
is ethno-culturally determined and resistant<br />
to changes or created by socio-economic<br />
conditions . Such a comparison that includes<br />
Asian countries activates a new phase<br />
of the discussion on the stem family and family<br />
systems in a global perspective .<br />

engagement européen de Raymond Aron<br />
’ est méconnu . Au mieux, on entrevoit<br />
qu’il rejette dos à dos Monnet et De Gaulle,<br />
preuve de son euroscepticisme supposé . Au<br />
pire, on le considère comme le chantre d’un<br />
atlantisme forcené où l’Europe est assujettie<br />
aux Etats-Unis . La question ne se règle pas<br />
aussi facilement . Il s’agit d’étudier l’itinéraire<br />
européen d’Aron tout au long de ses actions<br />
de militant et de ses écrits, dès ses premiers<br />
articles au début des années trente jusqu’à<br />
ses derniers éditoriaux en octobre 1983 . Comment<br />
a-t-il pensé l’Europe à travers ses livres,<br />
articles, cours et conférences ? Quel Européen<br />
se bat pour quelle forme d’Europe ?<br />
Croit-il en une identité européenne spécifique<br />
?<br />
En abordant des thèmes récurrents dans<br />
les travaux d’Aron, comme le devoir de responsabilité<br />
de l’intellectuel, la question du<br />
déterminisme historique, la dénonciation de<br />
l’idéologie et de ses dangers, la lutte contre<br />
le totalitarisme, l’analyse des relations internationales<br />
et la problématique de l’hypothétique<br />
crise ou décadence de la civilisation occidentale,<br />
ce livre a pour ambition d’éclairer<br />
