    La dynamique contemporaine de sécurité et le renouveau de la défense civile américaine sous l’administration Clinton
    in Cultures & Conflits , n. 84, hiver ,  2011 ,  103-129
    The contemporary dynamics of security and the renewal of US civil defense under Clinton administration Homeland security, implemented in the United States after the 9/11 attacks, embodies the contemporary transformation of security. Its emergence is not directly linked to the destruction of the World Trade Center, but rather to a security dynamic which formed since the mid-1990s. This dynamic lies on the combination of five social processes: a consensus for the promotion of a strong and watchful America (ontological process), a transformation of strategic practices towards the reduction of vulnerabilities (strategic process), the creation of a bureaucratic setting outside the military and police (bureaucratic process), the advent of new actors in the security field, which specialize in risk management (sociological process), and the continuous vision of technological innovation as source of the threat and only solution to it (technological process).
