This book explores the judicial transformations in the Southern Mediterranean region and the mechanisms that trigger these changes. It analyses judicial reforms in Jordan and Morocco in the context of the EU policies to promote and diffuse democratic principles and practices in the MENA region. Based on original empirical research, the book reports findings on how networks of actors involved in the implementation of programs funded by the EU handle policy ideas and interests, and by doing so influence policy outcomes. This study covers both the institutional and the organizational/managerial dimensions of justice, thus shedding light on the two most relevant and critical factors for innovations in the domain of justice. Gaia Taffoni is a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the School of Transnational Governance, European University Institute, Italy. Her research interests lie in the politics of judicial systems, judicial administration, and European public policy. She has explored her research interests at EU-level and member states-level as well as in the countries of the MENA region.

En mêlant réflexion théorique et perspectives opérationnelles, ce livre souhaite questionner les transformations urbaines occasionnées sur le temps long par l'émergence des mobilités partagées mises en œuvre par de grandes firmes privées mondialisées. Dans quelle mesure la participation de ces nouveaux acteurs aux politiques de mobilité des villes transforme-t-elle le rôle des institutions publiques dans la gestion urbaine ? Ces systèmes de mobilité peuvent-ils répondre aux enjeux écologiques du xxie siècle ? Quels sont les gagnants et les perdants de ces recompositions dans l'économie des transports, les institutions et les structures sociales urbaines ? Ces questions sont abordées à partir de l'analyse du développement récent des systèmes de vélos en libre-service et d'autopartage, en proposant une réflexion plus générale sur la place du capitalisme dans l'innovation en matière de mobilité et dans la fabrique de la ville. L'ouvrage permet de saisir les contours des nouvelles économies collaboratives en interrogeant la gouvernance « public-privé » des mobilités partagées. Cette seconde édition souhaite actualiser le développement de l'auteur à travers l'introduction d'une étude de cas de l'évolution historique des mobilités partagées à Paris, la prise en compte de l'arrivée des dispositifs de mobilité en free floating dans les grandes villes et l'intégration de nombreux éléments d'actualité (changement d'opérateur, nouveaux acteurs, etc.). Le livre souhaite offrir des outils de réflexion aux différents acteurs de la ville avant les élections municipales de 2020, période au cours de laquelle les mobilités partagées seront au cœur des débats politiques et citoyens.

Given the global crises confronting the world today, it is important to interrogate the notion of “the modern state” and to evaluate its effectiveness in providing security and services for its populations, including the most disadvantaged and vulnerable. This book investigates the modern state’s capacity to serve its constituents by examining the organisations that facilitate two key elements of contemporary living: social capital and social enterprise. These elements are explored in a series of rich case studies located in Australia, Ireland and Bangladesh, with broader implications for policy and practice in the rest of the world. The case studies highlight the growing importance of social enterprise and social entrepreneurship in fostering social capital and in contributing to the idea of “the enabling state”. This book will appeal to researchers, policy-makers and community leaders working in business, education, employment pathways, homelessness, housing, local government, mental health, public administration and refugee resettlement.
