Résumé
The articles contained in this issue address the relationships between different political regimes, their police forces and civil societies in a wide range of different geographical locations throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Although rooted in different national historiographical traditions, these articles all contribute to the renewal of social and cultural political history. By adopting a relational perspective to power and its diffusion, these articles recast security forces as political actors, in turn analysing how these forces manage political crises. As security organs have helped to foster but also to contain various revolutionary dynamics, they should therefore form the centre of a new political history that focuses on organisations and institutions that have not traditionally been viewed as political.
