Que font là tous ces coquillages, si loin de la mer, et parfois au sommet des montagnes, enchâssés dans les roches les plus dures ? " Telle était la question que les sages de la Grèce antique se posaient déjà. Aujourd'hui la réponse va de soi. Mais hier, et jusqu'au XVIIe siècle, la théorie qui prévalait affirmait que ces " coquillages " poussaient sur place et qu'ils n'avaient que l'apparence d'une huître, d'une praire ou d'une palourde. Dieu n'avait-il pas donné à la Terre sa forme définitive dès la première semaine ? Et le Déluge ne pouvait-il pas expliquer en partie ce si curieux phénomène ? Né en 1 638 au Danemark, Nicolas Sténon va pulvériser ces préjugés. Il va entreprendre de déchiffrer les strates de l'écorce terrestre, comme autant de grimoires où l'on peut lire l'histoire de la création, et réduire en cendres les affirmations de la Bible qui fixait l'âge de notre planète à six mille ans. Puis, alors que ses idées finissent par être reconnues et devraient l'éloigner de l'Eglise, il abandonne ses recherches pour devenir prêtre. En 1988, Jean Paul II le canonisera... Tel fut le destin de celui que l'on considère comme le père de la géologie moderne.

This path-breaking collection analyses the dialectic between legal and constitutional innovations intended to inscribe corporate power and market disciplines in world order, and the potential for challenges and alternative frameworks of governance to emerge. It provides a comprehensive approach to neo-liberal constitutionalism and regulation and limits to policy autonomy of states, and how this disciplines populations according to the intensifying demands of corporations and market forces in global market civilization. Contributors examine global and local public policy challenges and consider if the ongoing crises of capitalism and world order offer states and societies opportunities to challenge this loss of policy autonomy and potentially to refashion world order. Integrating approaches to governance and world order from both leading and emerging scholars, this is an innovative, indispensable source for policy-makers, civil society organizations, professionals and students in law, politics, economics, sociology, philosophy and international relations.

"Governments today are too often unwilling to intervene in global commerce, and international organizations are too often unable to govern effectively. In their place, firms increasingly cooperate internationally to establish the rules and standards of behavior for themselves and for others, taking on the mantle of authority to govern specific issue areas. Are they stepping into the breach to supply needed collective goods? Or are they organizing themselves in order to prevent governments from interfering in their business? This book explores the meaning of this private international authority, both for theory and policy, through case studies of specific industries, associations, and issue areas in both contemporary and historical perspective."--Jacket.
