This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Envisagé sous un angle résolument pluridisciplinaire, avec une vision à la fois historique et contemporaine, cet ouvrage a pour objectif de renverser les manières usuelles d'aborder les relations de la justice écologique et de la justice sociale. L'enjeu intellectuel du livre est de récuser le topos de la difficulté d'articuler deux justices (sociale et écologique) parce qu'elles seraient non seulement d'ordres différents, mais aussi quasi-contradictoires. Les auteurs montrent au contraire que l'opposition de ces deux justices est un artefact entretenu par l'approche « environnementaliste » des questions de justice, dont l'une des versions est, paradoxalement la notion anglo-américaine de « justice environnementale ». Quelle sorte d'outil conceptuel et politique représente cette notion lorsqu'on la rapporte à la longue durée des conflits qui ont jalonné non seulement l'histoire de l'industrialisation occidentale, mais aussi celle des colonies et ex-colonies ? Pourquoi les « inégalités écologiques » apparaissent aujourd’hui détachées de l’ensemble des luttes sociales, alors qu'elles ont été le plus souvent inextricablement liées, particulièrement autour des problèmes de la santé au travail, des pollutions industrielles, des questions agraires et de la justice de l'eau ?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage est le fruit de la collaboration entre un chercheur et un acteur social. Tous deux partagent une conviction : si les scientifiques ont raison de nous alerter sur les dangers du dérèglement climatique, jamais leurs discours ne suffiront à nous mobiliser pour faire face à cette menace. Comment faire alors ? Faut-il avoir recours à des discours catastrophistes ? Non, répondent les auteurs, car la peur paralyse davantage qu'elle n'incite à agir. Pour accélérer la nécessaire transition de nos économies et de nos sociétés, il faut passer de l'écologie qui punit à l'écologie qui protège. En proposant un récit commun positif de la transition écologique, qui mobilise le principe de justice sociale. C'est pourquoi les deux auteurs proposent de redéfinir le progrès social à travers le triptyque égalité, emploi et protection sociale, et jettent les bases d'un nouvel Etat social-écologique. Une évolution indispensable, car, comme ils le démontrent, la multiplication des événements climatiques (inondations, sécheresses, tempêtes, etc.) obligera l'Etat à protéger de plus en plus ses citoyens. Le prolongement écologique de l'Etat providence est donc une chance autant qu'une nécessité.

This book was released on 2022-04-21 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans un contexte d'accroissement des inégalités et de chômage de masse, les politiques environnementales sont souvent perçues comme des contraintes supplémentaires, quand elles ne sont pas qualifiées de mesures anti-pauvres ou anti-ruralité. Pourtant, il existe un lien étroit entre les injustices sociales et environnementales. En effet, les données chiffrées sont sans appel : au Nord comme au Sud, les plus riches sont les principaux pollueurs, tandis que les plus modestes sont davantage exposés aux risques et plus vulnérables face aux dégâts occasionnés. C'est pourquoi la question de la justice sociale doit être mise au cœur des politiques de développement durable. Infrastructures, systèmes de mesure innovants, réformes fiscales... Les solutions et les exemples à suivre ne manquent pas. Seulement, leur mise en œuvre ne se fait pas du jour au lendemain, ni sans résistances, que ce soit en Europe, aux États-Unis ou en Inde. Afin d'accompagner et d'accélérer la nécessaire métamorphose de l'État social, l'auteur propose plusieurs pistes concrètes et plaide pour une meilleure articulation des luttes locales et de la coordination internationale.

Download or read book Routledge Handbook on the Green New Deal written by Kyla Tienhaara and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-26 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the Green New Deal has moved from relative obscurity to front and centre of policy discussions and public debates about how to respond to the climate crisis. It has been credited with radically changing the nature of the conversation on climate change and with re-energizing the environmental movement at a critical time. All Green New Deal proposals share an emphasis on the need for governments (rather than markets) to lead the energy transition. However, they differ in other respects. This Handbook analyses the fundamentals underlying all Green New Deals as well as exploring national and regional variations. It is divided into three parts. The first part examines the political economy of the Green New Deal focussing not just on how proposals will be costed but also on opportunities for a fundamental transformation of both national economies and the global economic system. The second part explores issues of justice, which are central to many Green New Deal proposals, including Indigenous rights, racial and gender equity, and justice for the Global South. In the third part, authors detail case studies of Green New Deal proposals and plans at the local, national, and regional level. This book will be an invaluable research and reference volume for students and scholars in economics, politics, sociology, geography, and environmental studies. It should also be of interest to those actively involved in climate and environmental policymaking.

Download or read book quoi sert la philanthropie written by Hilary M. Pearson and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pour la plupart des Canadiens et Canadiennes, le monde de la philanthropie et des fondations privées demeure mystérieux. Parfois comparées de façon mémorable à des girafes, les fondations sont des créatures qui ne devraient pas exister. Pourtant, elles existent bel et bien, et elles sont même entourées d’une aura mystique. Dans À quoi sert la philanthropie?, Hilary Pearson démystifie le monde de la philanthropie canadienne en dressant un portrait du paysage actuel des fondations et en mettant en lumière des organisations qui agissent avec détermination face à certains des défis sociaux et économiques les plus pressants de notre époque : les changements climatiques, l’avenir des villes, l’éducation et l’évolution de la main-d’œuvre, le logement et le besoin urgent de réparer et d’établir de nouvelles relations avec les peuples autochtones. Mme Pearson, qui a travaillé pendant deux décennies auprès des dirigeants de fondations à travers le Canada, nous offre un regard intime sur la façon dont ces organisations continuent d’évoluer. Par le biais d’entretiens personnels effectués auprès de la direction de fondations privées – grandes ou petites, établies de longue date ou nouvellement créées – elle décrit les stratégies et les efforts déployés par des fondations canadiennes pour rassembler les parties prenantes de la société, faire le plaidoyer de causes importantes, servir comme intermédiaires ou créer des partenariats. À une époque marquée par des divisions sociales et des inégalités croissantes, À quoi sert la philanthropie? constitue une contribution opportune au débat actuel sur la légitimité de la philanthropie organisée. Mme Pearson défend avec conviction le rôle primordial joué par la philanthropie privée pour relever les défis d’une époque en pleine mutation.

Download or read book A Critical Theory for the Anthropocene written by Nathanaël Wallenhorst and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, which is rooted in biogeophysical studies, addresses conceptions of political action in the Anthropocene and the tension between a desire to accomplish the Promethean project of modernity and a post-Promethean approach. This work explores the idea of ​​an anthropological mutation of political consolidation from a “post-Promethean togetherness”, to creating the capacity to act together. The political thinking of the human condition developed by Hannah Arendt is important here as a resource for thinking about humanity in terms of human adventure. This has three dimensions: hubris, the world and coexistence referring respectively to the logic of profit of the homo oeconomicus, the logic of responsibility of the homo collectivus and the logic of the hospitality of the homo religatus. The intellectual and political attitude outlined in this book is an extension of critical theory: the work also puts forward a critique of what poses a problem in our relationship to the world and suggests how to overcome it, the ultimate goal being social transformation. The author propose an uprising and an anthropological consolidation of politics based on the revitalization that is brought about by the sharing of a conviviality both between humans and with what is non-human. The identification of conviviality as an educational paradigm to survive the Anthropocene gives us the much needed reason for hope despite this heritage of the Anthropocene. In addition to Arendtian thinking, this critical theory for the Anthropocene draws on the political thinking of several contemporary authors including Maurice Bellet, Hartmut Rosa, Andreas Weber, Dominique Bourg, and Christian Arnsperger. This volume is of interest to researchers in the Anthropocene.

Download or read book Socioeconomic Democracy written by Robley E. George and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2002-06-30 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George offers a direct and powerful challenge to the fatal shortcomings of virtually all currently dominant economic paradigms, including those of capitalism, socialism, communism, and so-called mixed economies. The alternative socioeconomic democracy, and advanced theoretical model in which there is some form of universal guaranteed income as well as a limit to maximum allowable personal wealth, combined with a realistic degree of human flexibility based on public choice theory. Arguing that such a procedure would allow a society to democratically control the extreme limits of material wealth and poverty, the author forecasts that such a system will create strong economic incentives while reducing the present undesirable and expensive social problems associated with the maldistribution of wealth. This innovative book will be of interest to scholars and others interested in exploring ways to strengthen democracy while improving economic systems around the world.

Download or read book Implementing the Nagoya Protocol written by Brendan Coolsaet and published by Hotei Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adoption of the Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit-sharing to the Convention on Biological Diversity in 2010 is a major landmark for the global governance of genetic resources and traditional knowledge. The way in which it will be translated into practice will however depend on the concrete implementation in national country legislation across the world. Implementing the Nagoya Protocol compares existing ABS regimes in ten European countries, including one non-EU member and one EU candidate country, and critically explores several cross-cutting issues related to the implementation of the Nagoya Protocol in the EU. Gathering some of the most professional and widely acclaimed experts in ABS issues, this book takes a major step towards filling a gap in the vast body of literature on national and regional implementation of global commitments regarding ABS and traditional knowledge.

Download or read book Causes and Consequences of Income Inequality written by Ms.Era Dabla-Norris and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the extent of income inequality from a global perspective, its drivers, and what to do about it. The drivers of inequality vary widely amongst countries, with some common drivers being the skill premium associated with technical change and globalization, weakening protection for labor, and lack of financial inclusion in developing countries. We find that increasing the income share of the poor and the middle class actually increases growth while a rising income share of the top 20 percent results in lower growth—that is, when the rich get richer, benefits do not trickle down. This suggests that policies need to be country specific but should focus on raising the income share of the poor, and ensuring there is no hollowing out of the middle class. To tackle inequality, financial inclusion is imperative in emerging and developing countries while in advanced economies, policies should focus on raising human capital and skills and making tax systems more progressive.

Download or read book Theory and Method of Evolutionary Political Economy written by Hardy Hanappi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is in turmoil, the dynamics of political economy seem to have entered a phase where a ‘return to normal’ cannot be expected. Since the financial crisis, conventional economic theory has proven itself to be rather helpless and political decision makers have become suspicious about this type of economic consultancy. This book offers a different approach. It promises to describe political and economic dynamics as interwoven as they are in real life and it adds to that an evolutionary perspective. The latter allows for a long-run view, which makes it possible to discuss the emergence and exit of social institutions. The essays in this volume explore the theoretical and methodological aspects of evolutionary political economy. In part one, the authors consider the foundational contributions of some of the great economists of the past, while the second part demonstrates the benefits of adopting the methods of computer simulation and agent-based modelling. Together, the contributions to this volume demonstrate the richness, diversity and great explanatory potential of evolutionary political economy. This volume is extremely useful for social scientists in the fields of economics, politics, and sociology who are interested to learn what evolutionary political economy is, how it proceeds and what it can provide.
