Abstract

Globalization is one of the most controversial issues in the world today. While protestors take to the streets at international summits, it is becoming conventional wisdom that companies are taking over the world, that governments' ability to tax, spend and regulate is under threat from global competition, that globalization harms the poor and that democracy is at risk. The author of this text argues that this is not so. Aiming to demolish some of these myths, Legrain shows how, without globalization, the poor are never going to get richer. It is simply the only way, he argues, to give governments the means to combat poverty: money for schools, hospitals and welfare. Focusing on the history of world trade as well as topical issues such as the power of corporations, whether globalization is bad for poor countries, whether it threatens the environment and Americanizes indigenous cultures, Philippe Legrain shows why elected governments are still very much in control and why a more open world offers greater opportunity for everyone, rich and poor, to better their lives.

Abstract

"Cosmopolitanism is currently one of the most prominent topics in the social sciences and humanities, and a key concept for understanding globalization. This collection of essays, featuring a line-up of leading international scholars, argues that most work on cosmopolitanism uses a normative model, rather than fully interrogating the issue empirically, comparatively and globally. This ambitious and ground-breaking collection will push the boundaries of the debate on cosmopolitanism into new areas, opening up new lines of inquiry and analysis that will have an impact on the study of globalization and global process for years to come."--Publisher's website.

Abstract

Nos connaissances sur l'humain, sur la vie, sur l'univers, sont en pleine expansion. Elles sont aussi séparées et dispersées. Comment les relier ? Comment affronter des problèmes qui sont tout à la fois complexes, fondamentaux, intellectuels et vitaux ? Comment nous situer dans l'aventure de la vie et dans celle de l'univers ? La réponse d'Edgar Morin, avec ce livre, est lumineuse d'intelligence et accessible à tous. L'auteur nous invite, à sa façon, à penser global, c'est-à-dire à considérer l'humanité dans sa nature "trinitaire", puisque chacun est à la fois un individu, un être social et une partie de l'espèce humaine. L'humanité est emportée dans la course effrénée de la mondialisation : la réflexion d'Edgar Morin nous propose de scruter son avenir sans céder aux facilités de l'air du temps ni aux injonctions de l'actualité

Abstract

"This lively textbook integrates theory and methodology into the study of social movements, and includes contemporary case studies to engage students and encourage them to apply theories critically. A wide range of protest cases are explored, from American, European and global arenas, including contemporary examples of political violence and terrorism, alter-globalisation, social networking and global activism. Key chapter features encourage students to engage critically with the material: method points uncover the methodology behind the theories, helping students to understand the larger study of social movements; debate points highlight classic arguments in social movement studies, encouraging students to critically assess theoretical approaches; and case studies connect theories to cases, allowing students to relate key principles to real-world examples. A companion website offers additional student and instructor resources, including lecture slides and worksheets"--

Abstract

"L'entreprise peut-elle s'affranchir de toutes obligations autres que légales et économiques à l'égard de son environnement social, humain, politique et écologique ? À l'heure du réchauffement climatique, des scandales financiers à répétition et de la globalisation des échanges, l'essor de l'idée de « responsabilité sociale de l'entreprise » (RSE) est révélatrice d'une nouvelle conception de la place de la firme au sein de la société. Cet ouvrage éclaire les sens d'une notion au caractère souvent ambigu et complexe tant d'un point de vue théorique (quelles sont les limites de cette responsabilité ?) que dans sa pratique corporative (la RSE ne serait-elle qu'une nouvelle forme de communication marketing ?) et en présente les contours actuels."
