Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quel avenir se forge notre société ? Le chômage est-il incurable ? Les emplois « jeunes » du gouvernement socialiste sont-ils un nouveau cache-misère ? La réduction du temps de travail est-elle une action généreuse ou calamiteuse ? Faut-il écouter ceux qui ne jurent que par la libéralisation des échanges mondiaux, ou ceux qui ne croient plus qu’à la débrouille ? C’est pour donner du sens à « ce bruit et à cette fureur » du monde qu’il faut lire Guy Aznar, Alain Caillé, Jean-Louis Laville, Jacques Robin et Roger Sue. Pionniers, chacun à leur façon, de réflexions et de propositions novatrices sur le revenu minimum, sur le temps de travail et sur ces activités construisant une « économie solidaire », un « tiers secteur » ou un « secteur quaternaire », les auteurs proposent ici les lignes de force d’un projet économique et politique visant à dépasser la crise du salariat : ce qu’ils appellent « économie plurielle » est une façon de concevoir l’économie pour sortir du face-à-face entre l’État et le marché, afin d’agir concrètement sur le terrain économique, politique, associatif... Cet ensemble cohérent de propositions, déjà expérimentées, en France ou ailleurs, ne peut laisser personne indifférent. Ce livre en forme de débat - la démocratie se nourrit des différences - ouvre de nombreuses portes à ceux pour qui le capitalisme n’est pas un horizon indépassable.

Download or read book Between the Social and the Spatial written by Katrien De Boyser and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of the 1990s, the gradual widening of scientific and policy debates on poverty from a narrow focus on income poverty to a more inclusive concept of social exclusion, has made poverty research both more interesting and more complicated. This transition to a more multidimensional conceptualization of poverty forms the background and starting point of this book. Researchers studying the 'social' and 'spatial' dimensions of poverty have only started to challenge and explore the boundaries of each other's research perspectives and instruments. This book brings together these different bodies of literature on the intersection of spatial and social exclusion for the first time, by providing a state-of-the art review written by internationally-recognized experts who critically reflect on the theoretical status of their research on social exclusion, and on the implications this has for future research and policy-making agendas.
Download or read book Ethics and the Market written by Betsy Jane Clary and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprising cutting-edge work on the state of social economics today, this theoretically diverse book includes strong emphasis on the role of ethics, morality, identity, and society in economic theorizing. Much existing economic theory overlooks ethics. Rather than situating the market and values at separate extremes of a continuum, Ethics and the Market contends that the two are necessarily and intimately related. This volume brings together some of the best work in the social economics tradition, with strong contributions and pedagogy, and a cross-national blend of economics, philosophy, and policy. The contributors embed the economic within the social, rather than viewing 'the economy' and 'society' as separable spheres of life activity, and in so doing, three key themes are illuminated, corresponding to the volume's tripartite structure: Morality and Markets Redefining the Boundaries of Economics Social Economics in Transition. Ethics and the Market illuminates the diverse and dynamic theoretical approaches that are employed in social economics, reflecting on their continuously evolving relationship with neoclassical economics. Taking an innovative approach, this integrative book challenges traditional ways of thinking, and will prove vital reading for students and academics in the fields of Economics, Sociology, Gender Studies, and Public Policy.

Download or read book The Democratic Paradox written by Chantal Mouffe and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the theory of 'deliberative democracy' to the politics of the 'third way', the present Zeitgeist is characterized by attempts to deny what Chantal Mouffe contends is the inherently conflictual nature of democratic politics. Far from being signs of progress, such ideas constitute a serious threat to democratic institutions. Taking issue with John Rawls and Jrgen Habermas on one side, and the political tenets of Blair, Clinton and Schrder on the other, Mouffe brings to the fore the paradoxical nature of modern liberal democracy in which the category of the 'adversary' plays a central role. She draws on the work of Wittgenstein, Derrida, and the provocative theses of Carl Schmitt, to propose a new understanding of democracy which acknowledges the ineradicability of antagonism in its workings.
Download or read book Public Private Partnerships written by Paolo Urio and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2010-12-18 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public-Private Partnerships aims to discover the conditions under which public private partnerships may provide a viable alternative to the provision of public services and infrastructures by the state, while achieving efficient, sustainable, peaceful, and equitable development in four transition countries: China, Poland, Russia, and Ukraine. These countries have experienced command economy under communist rule for at least thirty years. They have only recently introduced market mechanisms. In spite of a huge literature in favor of public private partnerships in the west, scientific empirical evidence is generally mixed and balanced. Success or failure depends upon many factors that need to be identified and analyzed. Moreover, economic performance may be achieved at the expense of other criteria such as equity, public scrutiny, and accountability. This research (a cooperation between the University of Geneva and the United Nations) is the first attempt to evaluate public private partnerships based upon a review of the literature in Europe, documentary analysis, and in-depth interviews in the four countries with representatives of the public and private sectors, as well civil society organizations.
Download or read book Tackling Social Exclusion in Europe written by Roger Spear and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of an international study by leading economists and sociologists from across Europe and North America. The response of the new social economy (primarily voluntary and co-operative sectors) to social exclusion and employability in the context of crises of unemployment and the welfare state is of wide international concern. This book looks specifically at the growth of enterprises and initiatives whose primary aim is the integration of unemployed and disadvantaged people into work. A common framework has been used in each of the country studies, thus allowing an interesting international comparative perspective to be developed. There is considerable interest in how the third sector is changing internationally in response to rapidly changing work and welfare systems. By distilling international experience this book makes an important contribution to debates about new ways of addressing the central issues of unemployment and social exclusion of disadvantaged people in society.
Download or read book Where Top down where Bottom up written by Silke Tönshoff and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The necessity for regional policy-makers to find a balance between shaping and adapting to structural change is well-known. But to what extent does this apply to a European strategy with a «soft» governance process relying largely on benchmarking and peer pressure - the Lisbon Strategy for Growth and Jobs? Paradigms for an increase of competitiveness - also regional competitiveness - spelled out so often and vigorously lose their degree of assertiveness, when turning to economic theory for their foundations. The authors - economists and political scientists with practical experience in EU institutions - deal in their contributions with different issues relevant for decision-makers in modern regional policy. By doing so, it is possible to challenge the seemingly established consensus on what is feasible in the EU and what is not.
Download or read book New Principles in Planning Evaluation written by Abdul Khakee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides recently developed and tested methods for assessing the strengths and weaknesses of planning and policy options. Several contributions focus on new substantive areas of concern in planning evaluation, including environmental justice and sustainable urban development. Applications of evaluation in several planning contexts are demonstrated, and special problems that these pose are assessed. Several chapters address how to communicate the process and results to several stakeholder groups, and how to engage these groups in the evaluation process. Each chapter employs a real-world case in practice, thus dealing with the complexity of applying planning evaluation, and providing practical advice useful in similar situations.
