I<br />

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 />
