Les firmes-monde sont devenues des entités économiques et politiques dont l’hyperpuissance doit être raisonnablement régulée. D’immenses firmes dominent l’environnement oligopolistique international. Ces firmesmonde développent diverses stratégies de désintégration verticale globale, d’innovation (y compris environnementale), de différenciation, de concentration, d’exportation, ou bien encore de R&D qui s’érigent en véritables modèles de croissance. Aussi, elles institutionnalisent dans la sphère économique et entrepreneuriale les nouveaux modèles d’affaires et les nouvelles pratiques de management des relations intra et inter-organisationnelles. Et parce que les firmes-monde dessinent le paysage industriel mondial et façonnent les économies de marché modernes, elles suscitent l’intérêt de l’opinion publique, mais aussi des institutions politiques qui les placent régulièrement au centre des réformes économiques, tant en matière de compétitivité que de régulation sociale. Cet ouvrage a pour finalité, d’une part, de transmettre aux lecteurs des connaissances nouvelles sur la nature, les frontières et les règles d’organisation des firmes-monde à l’aune de l’évolution du système capitaliste et, d’autre part, de les initier à l’analyse des régimes de pouvoir et de gouvernement de ces entreprises géantes mondialisées. Le lecteur sera à même de comprendre les grands enjeux de démocratisation et de responsabilisation de ces entités politico-économiques, afin de contribuer au débat sur le développement durable et la croissance inclusive.Les firmes-monde sont des biens communs privés qui doivent éclairer le chemin d’une nouvelle démocratie industrielle. Sans leur concours, l’on ne peut envisager l’émergence d’un compromis productif susceptible de répondre aux enjeux de régulation économique et sociale du capitalisme du XXIe siècle.

Held on the occasion of Louvre Abu Dhabi?s first anniversary, the symposium 'Worlds in a Museum' addressed the topic of museums in the era of globalisation, exploring contemporary museology and the preservation and presentation of culture within the context of changing societies. Departing from the historical museum structure inherited from the Enlightenment, leading experts from art, cultural, and academic institutions explore present-day achievements and challenges in the study, display and interpretation of art, history, and artefacts. How are ?global? and ?local? objects and narratives balanced - particularly in consideration of diverse audiences? How do we foster perspective and multiculturalism while addressing politicised notions of centre and periphery? As they abandon classical canons and categories, how are museums and cultural entities redefining themselves beyond predefined concepts of geography and history?0This collection of essays arises from the symposium 'Worlds in a Museum' organised by Louvre Abu Dhabi and École du Louvre.

"Though mankind has traded tangible goods for millennia, recent technology has changed the fundamentals of trade, in both legitimate and illegal economies. In the past three decades, the most advanced forms of illicit trade have broken with all historical precedents and, as Dark Commerce shows, now operate as if on steroids, tied to computers and social media. In this new world of illicit commerce, which benefits states and diverse participants, trade is impersonal and anonymized, and vast profits are made in short periods with limited accountability to sellers, intermediaries, and purchasers. Louise Shelley examines how new technology, communications, and globalization fuel the exponential growth of dangerous forms of illegal trade--the markets for narcotics and child pornography online, the escalation of sex trafficking through web advertisements, and the sale of endangered species for which revenues total in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The illicit economy exacerbates many of the world's destabilizing phenomena: the perpetuation of conflicts, the proliferation of arms and weapons of mass destruction, and environmental degradation and extinction. Shelley explores illicit trade in tangible goods--drugs, human beings, arms, wildlife and timber, fish, antiquities, and ubiquitous counterfeits--and contrasts this with the damaging trade in cyberspace, where intangible commodities cost consumers and organizations billions as they lose identities, bank accounts, access to computer data, and intellectual property."
