Résumé
Cet article présente les questions de l'ethnicité, de la gouvernance et de la prévention des conflits concernant leur gestion à travers l'exercice effectif du pouvoir. Il n'est pas possible de prévenir les conflits. On ne peut que les gérer. Le facteur crucial et déterminant dans les relations ethniques, de genre et de classe, c'est le pouvoir. L'article retrace les notions de pouvoir chez quelques philosophes et met en évidence l'importance de percevoir l'impact des changements paradigmatiques sur le discours politique. Ces changements sont perçus comme des itinéraires intellectuels qui vont du fonctionalisme structurel à la théorie critique contemporaine de l'Amérique du Nord et la théorie postmoderniste. La problématique de l'ethnicité est posée dans des débats découlant des rivalités de perspectives et des luttes paradigmatiques. Sont également remis en question et critiqués, l'économie morale, le choix rationnel, ainsi que les approches subalternes. L'article soutient que lorsque le fondement des structures et procédures de gouvernance démocratique est miné, alors la légitimité politique est compromise et préconise une nouvelle coupe de l'analyse historique du discours contemporain sur la gouvernance de ses prétentions.
