Pluralisme et universalisme: Comparison des plans national américains et français de lutte contre l\u27antisémitisme
No full textLes niveaux d’antisémitisme aux États-Unis ont atteint en 2024 leur plus haut niveau jamais enregistré, année pendant laquelle la majeure partie de la recherche pour ce mémoire a été menée. L’antisémitisme ne menace pas seulement la communauté juive ; il constitue souvent un signal d’alerte précoce de l’affaiblissement des fondements de la société démocratique dans son ensemble : la cohésion sociale, les droits humains et l’État de droit. Ce mémoire compare deux stratégies nationales contemporaines de lutte contre l’antisémitisme : la U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism (2023) et le Plan national de lutte contre le racisme, l’antisémitisme et les discriminations liées à l’origine (2023–2026) en France. En examinant les cadres idéologiques du libéralisme politique aux États-Unis et du républicanisme universaliste en France, cette étude retrace les racines historiques de ces conceptions et leur influence sur les attitudes nationales envers les protection des minorités. Elle propose une analyse de l’histoire et des moments clés vécus par les Juifs en France et aux États-Unis depuis leurs révolutions respectives jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine, afin de contextualiser la lutte pour la liberté religieuse et les enjeux de l’assimilation. Cette recherche examine comment l’idéologie d’État influence la conception et les objectifs des politiques de lutte contre l’antisémitisme. En définitive, ce mémoire évalue les forces et les limites de chaque stratégie nationale face aux formes contemporaines d’antisémitisme au XXIᵉ siècle et met en lumière les manières dont l’idéologie, l’histoire et la conception des politiques se croisent pour façonner les réponses contemporaines à l’antisémitisme.
Levels of Antisemitism in the United States reached their highest ever recorded in 2024. (The same year, most of this research was conducted). Antisemitism does not just threaten the Jewish community but is often the first sign of the undermining of the foundations of democratic society as a whole, breaking of social cohesion, human rights, and the rule of law. This thesis compares two contemporary national strategies to counter antisemitism: the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism (2023) and France’s Plan national de lutte contre le racisme, l’antisémitisme et les discriminations liées à l’origine (2023–2026). By examining the frameworks of Political Liberalism in the United States and Universalist Republicanism in France, the study traces the historical roots of these ideologies and how they have shaped national attitudes toward minority protection. Following is an analysis of the history and key moments of the Jewish people in France and the United States since their respective revolutions to contemporary times to give context of the struggle of religious liberty and assimilation. This research explores how state ideology influences the design and goals of antisemitism policy. Ultimately, this thesis assesses the strengths and limitations of each national strategy in addressing the evolving forms of antisemitism in the 21st century and highlights the ways in which ideology, history, and policy design intersect in shaping contemporary responses to antisemitism
