Abstract

Figure saillante de la Curie romaine, ne serait-ce qu'à cause d'une barbe photogénique, le cardinal Tisserant a servi six papes différents, de Pie X à Paul VI. Né à Nancy en 1884, prêtre en 1907, savant voué à l'étude des langues orientales anciennes, Eugène Tisserant a été appelé à Rome en 1908 pour s'occuper des manuscrits orientaux de la Bibliothèque vaticane. Il y est resté jusqu'à sa mort en 1972, si l'on excepte les mois passés sous les drapeaux entre 1914 et 1919. Cardinal en 1936, il fut doyen du Sacré Collège en 1951. Cette longévité, doublée d'une exceptionnelle vitalité, a fait de Tisserant le témoin privilégié de tous les grands événements politiques et religieux d'un siècle qui n'en a pas manqué : deux guerres mondiales, l'expansion du communisme, l'apogée et la chute des empires coloniaux ; mais aussi la crise moderniste, trois conclaves et le concile Vatican II. Tisserant n'a pas été seulement le témoin de tels soubresauts, il en a aussi été l'acteur : résistant déterminé au fascisme et au nazisme, il le fut ensuite au communisme ou à la décolonisation. Impossible d'écrire l'histoire de la Rome pontificale au XXe siècle sans faire au cardinal Tisserant la place qui lui revient de droit.

Abstract

The fundamental question explored in the book concerns the meaning of co-operation. Was it a social movement or an economic enterprise? Did it aspire to challenge capitalism or to reform it? Did it contain at its heart a political vision for the transformation of society or was it simply a practical guide for organising a business?

Abstract

This book analyzes the multi-faceted scandal that has tarnished the reputation of the United Auto Workers (UAW), an iconic union revered for its commitment to union democracy and ethical practices, showing what went wrong to lead the spread of corruption and how to remedy it. Masters and Goeddeke provide a historical context of the rise and decline of the UAW, leading to "a culture of corruption" and resulting in the indictment or conviction of 15 union and corporate officials for the misuse of tens of millions of dollars. The book evaluates the various proposed reforms of the UAW's financial practices and ethical standards, including the possibility of a government takeover. It raises questions about the wisdom of such a takeover, based on the problems associated with the government takeover of the Teamsters. The authors recommend that the UAW convene a special constitutional convention to consider reforms in governance and hiring practices. Providing a clear depiction of this scandal and the UAW's systemic flaws, and suggesting potential remedies, this book will appeal to the tens of thousands of union officers and members keenly interested in the state of labor and an iconic union, their corporate counterparts in management, academics, students, and journalists in the fields of business and society, employee relations, law, labor relations, and management.
