Download or read book L conomie sociale europ enne ou La tentation de la d mocratie en toutes choses written by Thierry Jeantet and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'économie capitaliste néo-libérale est-elle la voie unique ? Non, répond Thierry Jeantet, les mutuelles, les coopératives et les associations - donc l'Economie sociale - montrent qu'il existe une façon plus solidaire de créer des richesses aussi bien dans la sphère marchande que dans la sphère non marchande. Partout en Europe, on trouve des entreprises, des organisations dans lesquelles prévalent le principe de non-domination du capital et celui du contrôle démocratique : il y aurait d'ailleurs 248 millions de membres de coopérative, de mutuelle ou d'association sur 370 millions d'habitants en Europe ! Ces structures agissent dans les domaines les plus divers : social, culturel, financier, agricole, industriel ou de la pêche... Elles sont encore trop mal connues. Face à de grands défis comme la mondialisation, la transformation du travail et la crise sociale, elles représentent une chance particulière de voir établies les conditions d'une croissance à dimension humaine et, au-delà, de changer la donne en affirmant la primauté du civique et du social sur l'économique et le monétaire. Pour cela, elles doivent à la fois renforcer et moderniser leur identité, faire fructifier leurs propres principes (démocratie, non-lucrativité, solidarité, recherche du meilleur rapport qualité-prix, épanouissement de la personne, etc.), et donc innover. L'auteur campe le paysage de l'Economie sociale sans en esquiver les ombres. Surtout, il en présente une vue dynamique et prospective. A partir de propositions concrètes, il en fait une alternative au système dominant. Il montre que les citoyens acteurs doivent jouer un rôle déterminant dans l'émergence d'une Europe différente, plus attachante, à nouveau porteuse d'avenir. Il prône un peu plus de démocratie en toutes choses.

Download or read book Untermassfeld written by Ralf-Dietrich Kahlke and published by British Archaeological Reports Oxford Limited. This book was released on 2006 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fossil site of Untermassfeld, near the town of Meiningen in Southern Thuringia, was discovered in 1978 and has been the subject of 25 field seasons. The digs have produced a stunning array of fossil vertebrate remains in stratigraphic context, making this unquestionably one of the most important Quaternary localities in Europe. In this volume the author provides the first full synthesis of the work, bringing the results up to date, and placing them in a broad context. With some 14,000 determinable vertebrate fossils, the Untermassfeld assemblage represents the most complete assemblage of the time span 1.2-0.9 Ma BP in the Western Palaearctic. Translated from German by Hans van Essen Edited by Adrian Lister

Book excerpt: An investigation into what makes the consistency of political groupings What should we do with the ideals of internationalism, the withering away of state and horizontality? Probably start by thinking seriously about them. That is to say, about their conditions of possibility (or impossibility), rather than sticking to the wishful thinking which believes that for them to happen it is enough to want them. Humanity exists neither as a dust cloud of separate individuals nor as a unified world political community. It exists fragmented into distinct finite wholes, the forms of which have varied considerably throughout history - the nation-state being only one among many, and certainly not the last. What are the forces that produce this fragmentation, engender such groupings and prevent them from being perfectly horizontal, but also lead them to disappear, merge, or change form? It is questions such as these that this book explores, drawing on Spinoza's political philosophy and especially his two central concepts of multitudo and imperium.
