Altermondialismes
Faced with the impacts that are shaking the planet and its populations, what can we learn from feminist and environmental demands, social and solidarity economy projects, the fight against discrimination and the World Social Forum? The search for alternative solutions is the driving force of social movements. Altermondialismes traces the course of mobilizations that, since the advent of neoliberal globalization, have been working to build a more equitable world. Altermondialismes takes an uncompromising look at the contemporary world and draws an honest and serious assessment of the challenges to be met, but also of the alternatives for the future. Is a better world still possible?
Luttes paysannes en Colombie 1970-2016
The book traces the agrarian movement’s evolution from the 1970s through four distinctive phases or dynamics: self-management, reclamation, resistance and self-determination. In the first, peasants fight predominantly for the land through colonization of public lands and occupation of land belonging to major property owners. In the second phase, peasants mobilize to claim public investment in agricultural life and production. The third phase of the peasant struggle is legal resistance and intra-territorial movements due to paramilitary violence. The last one corresponds to the current fight against extractivism and towards territorial autonomy. The study is based principally on the histories of the National Peasant Association (ANUC), established in 1967, of the Southern Bolivar Agricultural–Mining Federation (FEDEAGROMISBOL), established in 1985, and of the National Agrarian Coordination (NAC), established in 1997. These organizations include peasants, who are small and medium owners whose properties are not fully legalized while they farm the land in precarious conditions. Published in French.
Enjeux et défis du développement international
Le développement international est un territoire contesté. À cause de l’aggravation des écarts entre le Nord et le Sud, de l’accroissement de la pauvreté mondiale et de l’urgence écologique, de nouveaux défis sociétaux émergent, s’accumulent et conduisent à des besoins criants qu’une aide internationale parvient de moins en moins à combler. Malgré ces tensions, des communautés du Nord et du Sud tentent de reprendre les choses en main et de réinventer le développement autour de principes clés : le respect de la diversité humaine ; le droit de vivre dignement ; le lien organique qui lie les êtres humains ; la vie non humaine ; la nature ; et l’importance de la par...
Gouverner les migrations pour perpétuer la mondialisation
Migration management is a concept that proposes regulatory transparency in dealing with the realities of international migration. Migration management reduces the complexity of related regulation to make it more intelligible, to govern in a depoliticized, technocratic way, and to ensure the movement of globalization. In the absence of an international migration framework, however, migration management faces competition from the securitization and liberalization of migration. For migration management to endure, it must rely on the material application of its interpretations enabled by institutions. To understand the evolution of migration management from interpretation to application within t...
