People in many countries, especially advanced countries, are expressing growing discontent about globalisation. They feel that its benefits have accrued mostly to a small and already well-off segment of the population. In addition, many citizens are dissatisfied with the way economic integration has been advanced. They complain about too little transparency and too many conflicts of interests between policy makers and firms. Several of the negative effects feeding the discontent have more to do with technological change than with globalisation per se, but the two are closely intertwined. Moreover, the policies put in place to alleviate negative impacts of economic openness on some groups, industries and regions have not always worked as intended, and global rule-making has not kept up with reality. Given its many benefits, reversing economic integration is not a solution. Rather, we need to find ways to make it work for all. This report sets out what needs to be done to advance a fairer and more inclusive globalisation - at the global level, at the European level and within Germany.

The new OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises provide an internationally agreed benchmark to help governments assess and improve the way they exercise their ownership functions in state-owned enterprises. Good corporate governance of state-owned enterprises is a key reform priority in many countries. Improved efficiency and better transparency in the state owned sector will result in considerable economic gains, especially in countries where state ownership is important. In addition, creating a level playing field for private and state-owned enterprises will encourage a sound and competitive business sector. The Guidelines, first adopted in 2005, provide a set of good practices on the legal and regulatory framework for state-owned enterprises (SOEs), the professionalisation of the state ownership function and the corporate governance arrangements of SOEs. This new version of the recommendation was developed in the light of almost a decade of experiences with its implementation and a number of thematic and comparative studies, developed on the basis of the earlier version of the Guidelines, that showed the need for, and supported, their revision, including in areas such as disclosure and transparency, public-private competition, board practices and funding and financing of SOE.

L'ESS vit un moment paradoxal. Il y a cette "modernité" selon laquelle tout procède de la Loi du 31 juillet 2014, qui si elle dit des choses sur l'ESS, si elle porte des mesures nouvelles et positives, se voulant "inclusive" ouvre largement un espace à un entrepreneuriat social sans grandes contraintes. Modernité et inclusivité interviennent dans un temps où parmi les grandes maisons d'ESS le processus de "banalisation" se poursuit de manière inquiétante : financiarisation de banques coopératives, assurancialisation de mutuelles, commercialisation d'associations... Pourtant, bien des militants, retrouvant les ressorts sociaux de l'Économie sociale originelle, créent, reprennent, innovent, diffusent, une "autre économie" pour un "autre monde". Dans ce contexte, il nous a paru utile de faire paraître cette note pour retrouver ces ressorts fondateurs, les femmes et les hommes liés pour l'essentiel au mouvement social de leur temps ont mis en oeuvre une "économie des travailleurs" pour reprendre Marx, ont voulu créer une "république coopérative" pour citer Charles Gide. Car leur histoire, celle d'une lutte déjà contre les forces libérales est pleine d'enseignement. Elle situe la bataille pour l'Économie sociale et solidaire sur le terrain qui doit être le sien, culturel et politique, avec l'émancipation pour seul objectif.

Nordisk Ministerråds budget for 2009 afspejler Nordisk Ministerråds politiske prioriteringer. Budgettet giver plads til den nødvendige kontinuitet i det nordiske samarbejde, og samtidig sikrer det den omfattende fornyelse i globali-seringsarbejdet, som blev skudt i gang efter statsministrenes sommermøde i Punkaharju, Finland i 2007. Punkaharju-mødet er siden fulgt op af det første nordiske globaliseringsforum, der fandt sted i Riksgränsen i Sverige i april 2008, hvor det blev drøftet hvordan de nordiske lande i fællesskab kan håndtere og drage nytte af globali-seringens udfordringer og muligheder. Statsministrene har givet de nordiske samarbejdsministre til opgave at koordinere dette arbejde. Denne proces har til tider været en udfordrende opgave, men også nødvendig for at Nordisk Ministerråds budget skal afspejle de fastsatte politiske prioriteringer. I den forbindelse vil jeg nævne, hvad der kan betegnes som en milepæl i det nordiske globaliseringsarbejde, nemlig at uddannelses- og forskningsministrene er kommet et stort skridt videre med Topforsknings-initiativet. De har i efteråret 2008 besluttet, at nationale aktører i de kommende år skal indskyde ca. 225 MDKK til Topforskningsinitia-tivet, udover Nordisk Ministerråds og dets institutioner ca. 160 MDKK.
