Partout dans le monde, des mouvements contestent l'appropriation par une petite oligarchie des ressources naturelles, des espaces et des services publics, des connaissances et des réseaux de communication. Ces luttes élèvent toutes une même exigence, reposent toutes sur un même principe : le commun. Pierre Dardot et Christian Laval montrent pourquoi ce principe s'impose aujourd'hui comme le terme central de l'alternative politique pour le XXIe siècle : il noue la lutte anticapitaliste et l'écologie politique par la revendication des « communs » contre les nouvelles formes d'appropriation privée et étatique ; il articule les luttes pratiques aux recherches sur le gouvernement collectif des ressources naturelles ou informationnelles ; il désigne des formes démocratiques nouvelles qui ambitionnent de prendre la relève de la représentation politique et du monopole des partis. Mais, selon les auteurs, le commun ne relève ni de l'essence des hommes ni de la nature des choses, mais de l'activité des hommes eux-mêmes : seule une pratique de mise en commun peut décider de ce qui est « commun », réserver certaines choses à l'usage commun, produire les règles capables d'obliger les hommes. En ce sens, le commun appelle à une nouvelle institution de la société par elle-même : une révolution.

"This book focuses on the knowledge area of higher education governance, organisational dynamics, leadership and decolonisation. We have observed that governance discourse has been excluded in debates that concern the public good. The construct of public good seeks to support higher education that does not support a capitalist view of profit-making, arguably to respond to societal demands and needs such as developmental efforts through academic functions. Higher Education focuses on interconnected multi-disciplinary constructs, intending to provide services for the public good. The issue of public good is an interesting construct that puts universities on the spot since they are expected to be responsive to environmental changes and stakeholder needs through the functioning of accountable governance structures. These governance structures are compelled to comply with policy demands within external and internal environmental factors. This experience has exposed universities to systematic challenges that are local, regional and global, and which forces them to adapt while serving stakeholders and society. This book will also interrogate the governance of South African public universities in the post-decolonisation era and new demands from stakeholders."--

"The 2016 US presidential election exposed rising xenophobic and nationalist sentiment within the United States and other democratic countries. As populist movements grow, democratic freedoms erode. We Resist demonstrates that the things we often take for granted--safety, family, employment, health, a promising future--are under attack, and we must fight to preserve these resources before it's too late. We are currently witnessing the dismantlement of social programs, growing disinterest in international cooperation, and the devaluation of evidence-based knowledge. This disturbing shift in politics is leading to increased national security measures, violations to basic human rights, and widening social and economic inequalities. The rise of far-right populism brings with it intolerance of ethnic, sexual, and all other minority groups, and a rejection of democratic society. We Resist gathers the compelling perspectives of scholars and activists who are deeply embedded within political and community struggles, who participate in policy decisions, and who are engaged in research that advances those struggles. An essential and timely book, We Resist confronts the problems we face as a human community and impels a cross-sectoral movement to defend our rights and revitalize the common good. "Into a world of bully-boy heads of state and the rise of xenophobic right-wing populism, comes this important collection reminding us that the common good is still attainable, if fragile. It depends on our ability to work collectively, to build community and to cherish our diversity, always advocating for human rights, respect and dignity. This collection of the best of Canadian values is a gift to the world in its time of need." Maude Barlow, chairperson for the Council of Canadians and author of Boiling Point: Government Neglect, Corporate Abuse, and Canada's Water Crisis"--
