Download or read book The New Spirit of Capitalism written by Eve Chiapello and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this major work, sociologists Luc Boltanski and Eve Chiapello go to the heart of the changes in contemporary capitalism. Via an unprecedented analysis of the latest management texts that have formed the thinking of employers in their reorganization of business, the authors trace the contours of a new spirit of capitalism. They argue that from the middle of the 1970s onwards, capitalism abandoned the hierarchical Fordist work structure and developed a new network-based form of organization that was founded on employee initiative and autonomy in the workplace-a "freedom" that came at the cost of material and psychological security. The authors connect this new spirit with the children of the libertarian and romantic currents of the late 1960s (as epitomised by dressed-down, cool capitalists such as Bill Gates and "Ben and Jerry") arguing that they practice a more successful and subtle-form of exploitation. Now a classic work charting the sociological structure of neoliberalism, Boltanski and Chiapello show how the new spirit triumphed thanks to a remarkable recuperation of the left's critique of the alienation of everyday life that simultaneously undermined their "social critique." In this new edition, the two authors reflect on the reception of the book and the debates it has stimulated.

Download or read book me Folk written by Luca Turchet and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-06-08 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A travers le regard attentif et curieux d'un infatigable voyageur, des rencontres, des anecdotes et des coïncidences fortuites dévoilent le monde folk européen dans toute sa beauté et son authenticité. Un monde fait de musique et de musiciens, de danses et de danseurs, d'instruments et de luthiers, de festivals et de joie. Mais il est également constitué d'un patrimoine culturel et de valeurs que la sagesse centenaire des traditions a confié à un Homme moderne, toujours plus éloigné de la communauté, de la nature et de lui-même. Au temps d'Internet, du progrès technologique et de la mondialisation, parler de traditions, de proverbes, de dialectes, d'instruments anciens et de danses populaires peut sembler anachronique. Le message renfermé dans ces pages vous fera réfléchir sur le caractère actuel de ces langages populaires et sur la façon dont ils peuvent guider l'Homme vers un chemin conscient.

Download or read book Resisting Protectionism written by Helen V. Milner and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why didn't the protectionist spiral of the 1920s reappear in the 1970s in light of similar economic and political realities? In Resisting Protectionism, Helen Milner analyzes the growth of international economic interdependence and its effects on trade policy in the United States and France. She argues that the limited protectionist response of the 1970s stems from the growth of firms' international economic ties, which reduces their interest in protection by increasing its cost. Thus firms with greater international connections will be less protectionist than more domestically oriented firms. The book develops this thesis by examining the international ties of export dependence, multinationality, and global intra-firm trade. After studying selected U.S. industries, Milner also examines French firms to see if they respond to increased interdependence in the same way as American firms, despite their different historical, ideological, and political contexts.

Download or read book Private International Law Aspects of Corporate Social Responsibility written by Catherine Kessedjian and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses one of the core challenges in the corporate social responsibility (or business and human rights) debate: how to ensure adequate access to remedy for victims of corporate abuses that infringe upon their human rights. However, ensuring access to remedy depends on a series of normative and judicial elements that become highly complex when disputes are transnational. In such cases, courts need to consider and apply different laws that relate to company governance, to determine the competent forum, to define which bodies of law to apply, and to ensure the adequate execution of judgments. The book also discusses how alternative methods of dispute settlement can relate to this topic, and the important role that private international law plays in access to remedy for corporate-related human rights abuses. This collection comprises 20 national reports from jurisdictions in Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia, addressing the private international law aspects of corporate social responsibility. They provide an overview of the legal differences between geographical areas, and offer numerous examples of how states and their courts have resolved disputes involving private international law elements. The book draws two preliminary conclusions: that there is a need for a better understanding of the role that private international law plays in cases involving transnational elements, in order to better design transnational solutions to the issues posed by economic globalisation; and that the treaty negotiations on business and human rights in the United Nations could offer a forum to clarify and unify several of the elements that underpin transnational disputes involving corporate human rights abuses, which could also help to identify and bridge the existing gaps that limit effective access to remedy. Adopting a comparative approach, this book appeals to academics, lawyers, judges and legislators concerned with the issue of access to remedy and reparation for corporate abuses under the prism of private international law.

Book excerpt: Dans une stridence de métal, le train s’engagea sur un splendide pont suspendu dont les grandes voiles treillissées de titane laissaient chanter leur armature au vent. À soixante mètres au-dessus du vide, heureux d’échapper à la pesanteur qui l’avait tenu encoffré toute l’année, le babouchier éprouva le sentiment de sauter dans l’inconnu, comme un brodeur d’escales avide de colorier le monde sans retouche, à même la pulpe de l’existence. Au-delà du fleuve, des tours en verre fumé se découpaient d’une façon presque irréelle sur le bleu éthéré du ciel. Au moment où la locomotive lança un cri déchirant, il comprit qu’il venait de fausser compagnie à son passé et qu’une nouvelle page de vie s’offrait à lui. En apesanteur entre deux rives, il savoura cet instant suprême avant d’ouvrir son guide qu’il feuilleta distraitement, conscient que sa destination importait peu puisque sa destinée s’était remise en mouvement. Soudain, un étrange pays attira son attention : Krishnewrhubarbe. Aussitôt, il se plongea dans la lecture…

Book excerpt: Neoliberalism's war against democracy and how to resist it How do we explain the strange survival of the forces responsible for the 2008 economic crisis, one of the worst since 1929? How do we explain the fact that neoliberalism has emerged from the crisis strengthened? When it broke, a number of the most prominent economists hastened to announce the 'death' of neoliberalism. They regarded the pursuit of neoliberal policy as the fruit of dogmatism. For Pierre Dardot and Christian Laval, neoliberalism is no mere dogma. Supported by powerful oligarchies, it is a veritable politico-institutional system that obeys a logic of self-reinforcement. Far from representing a break, crisis has become a formidably effective mode of government. In showing how this system crystallized and solidified, the book explains that the neoliberal straitjacket has succeeded in preventing any course correction by progressively deactivating democracy. Increasing the disarray and demobilization, the so-called 'governmental' Left has actively helped strengthen this oligarchical logic. The latter could lead to a definitive exit from democracy in favour of expertocratic governance, free of any control. However, nothing has been decided yet. The revival of democratic activity, which we see emerging in the political movements and experiments of recent years, is a sign that the political confrontation with the neoliberal system and the oligarchical bloc has already begun.

Download or read book European Political Parties and Party Finance Reform written by Wouter Wolfs and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-04-06 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of the party finance regime at the level of the European Union. Based on an in-depth analysis of the interaction between European political parties and their institutional environment, it shows how the Europarties have coped with – and altered – the funding rules. The book explains why increasing party subsidies have been made available, and why considerable differences exist in how Eurosceptic and pro-European parties have used their EU funding. It also examines how party finance reform at the EU level has been at the centre of party competition, by demonstrating how the rules were strategically changed to benefit some European parties over others. Considering the strong democratic aspirations that lay at the origins of the finance regime, the book explores its consequences for party democracy and the rule of law in Europe. This book is valuable for scholars working on the European Parliament, Eurosceptic parties, EU decision-making, (European) party politics and political finance.
