La place des citoyennes et des citoyens dans nos institutions publiques déterminera le succès ou l'échec de nos sociétés modernes. Passer de la ville à la cité, c'est mettre un outil dans les mains des citoyens pour qu'ils puissent bâtir eux-mêmes la communauté et l'environnement où ils vivent. Passer de la ville à la cité, c'est sortir du cadre habituel de l'action municipale. C'est agir en santé et en éducation. C'est agir pour consolider notre culture, notre identité, notre fierté. C'est agir pour le mieux vivre ensemble. C'est favoriser une économie plus sociale. Passer de la ville à la cité, c'est répondre aux craintes d'une partie de la population qui ne se sent plus écoutée par les gouvernements nationaux, qui a perdu ses repères en raison de la mondialisation et qui les retrouve dans son quartier et dans son gouvernement municipal. Passer de la ville à la cité, c'est peut-être un premier pas vers un renouveau de la démocratie tout court.

La façon dont nous pensons et enseignons l’économie depuis le XIXᵉ siècle est périmée ! Crises financières à répétition, inégalités extrêmes de revenus et d’accès aux ressources, exploitation destructrice de l’environnement… Dans La théorie du Donut, Kate Raworth revisite les principaux outils et principes économiques en mettant le facteur humain et la préoccupation environnementale au cœur de sa réflexion. Consciente de la force des images, elle s’attaque à sept schémas clés pour montrer à quel point ils sont galvaudés et méritent d’être changés en y introduisant les dimensions sociale et environnementale. Une lecture rafraîchissante, qui propose une vision renouvelée, accessible et optimiste de la pensée économique

"Two powerful forces converged to shift global development in the last three decades from the West to the East and Asia. These same forces now make Africa the "construction site of the century." Africa in the decade 2040-2050 will have a population of 2.5 billion people. Together with China and India, Africa will surely affect our planet's future!"--

"This incisive book examines the role of Intellectual Property (IP) as a complex adaptive system in innovation and the lifecycle of IP intensive assets. Discussing recent innovation trends, it places emphasis on how different forms of intellectual property law can facilitate these trends. Inventors and entrepreneurs are guided through the lifecycle of IP intensive assets that commercialise human creativity. Utilising a range of sector-specific, interdisciplinary and actor-focused approaches, each contribution offers suggestions on how Europe's capacity to foster innovation-based sustainable economic growth can be enhanced on a global scale. This comprehensive book addresses the role of IP in public-private partnerships and business transactions and further explores how IP law can uphold distributive justice in the innovation society. Chapters span a range of topics of great societal interest, including standard essential patent licensing in the Internet of Things, patent quality concerns under competition law and the role of market-driven and legislative solutions to online music licensing. Intellectual Property as a Complex Adaptive System will be a key resource for students and scholars of IP law, innovation and economics. It will also be vital reading for practitioners, knowledge-intensive industry representatives and innovation and technology transfer specialists"--

This book offers insights into the process and the practice of local economic development. Bridging the gap between theory and practice it demonstrates the relevance of theory to inform local strategic planning in the context of widespread disparities in regional economic performance. The book summarizes the core theories of economic development, applies each of these to professional practice, and provides detailed commentary on them. This updated second edition includes more recent contributions - regional innovation, agglomeration and dynamic theories - and presents the major ideas that inform economic development strategic planning, particularly in the United States and Canada. The text offers theoretical insights that help explain why some regions thrive while others languish and why metropolitan economies often rise and fall over time. Without theory, economic developers can only do what is politically feasible. This text, however, provides them with a logical tool for thinking about development and establishing an independent basis from which to build the local consensus needed for evidence-based action undertaken in the public interest. Offering valuable perspectives on both the process and the practice of local and regional economic development, this book will be useful for both current and future economic developers to think more profoundly and confidently about their local economy.

A War on Global Poverty provides a fresh account of US involvement in campaigns to end global poverty in the 1970s and 1980s. From the decline of modernization programs to the rise of microcredit, Joanne Meyerowitz looks beyond familiar histories of development and explains why antipoverty programs increasingly focused on women as the deserving poor.When the United States joined the war on global poverty, economists, policymakers, and activists asked how to change a world in which millions lived in need. Moved to the left by socialists, social democrats, and religious humanists, they rejected the notion that economic growth would trickle down to the poor, and they proposed programs to redress inequities between and within nations. In an emerging “women in development” movement, they positioned women as economic actors who could help lift families and nations out of destitution. In the more conservative 1980s, the war on global poverty turned decisively toward market-based projects in the private sector. Development experts and antipoverty advocates recast women as entrepreneurs and imagined microcredit—with its tiny loans—as a grassroots solution. Meyerowitz shows that at the very moment when the overextension of credit left poorer nations bankrupt, loans to impoverished women came to replace more ambitious proposals that aimed at redistribution.Based on a wealth of sources, A War on Global Poverty looks at a critical transformation in antipoverty efforts in the late twentieth century and points to its legacies today.
