In this major new study Christian Baudelot and Roger Establet provide a timely and wide-ranging account of the changing nature of suicide in the world today. The suicide rate is soaring in the former Communist bloc, in India and in China, which now has the highest female suicide rate in the world. This rise coincides with those countries accelerated entry into a period of brutal modernization. In the developed countries of the West, suicide rates are rising fastest amongst young men and those social groups that are furthest down the social scale. How can we explain these trends and what do they tell us about modern societies? The social impact of suicide has preoccupied sociologists from Emi...
Active participation in processes of change are an essential aspect of community participation, and proper recognition of opportunities for participation facilitate community engagement nationally and internationally. Education and its relation to citizenship in recent years has become one of the most important fields of research. From different areas and contexts, it has been revealed that there is a prevailing need for education for citizens to take part actively in the processes of change and improvement that the current global situation requires. The Handbook of Research on Education for Participative Citizenship and Global Prosperity is a pivotal reference source focusing on the product...
This book showcases written dialogue from Brendan Brown and Philippe Simonnot on the subject of European monetary turmoil past and present and what hope there could be for future reform. Starting with the collapse of the gold standard in 1914, proceeding to the brief gold-dollar standard of the mid inter-war years, on to the collapse of Bretton Woods and the heyday of the Deutsche mark and ultimately discussing the euro, this book looks at a broad range of financial history alongside many new and provoking hypotheses about the devastating monetary turbulence of the successive eras, always with a focus on the US monetary hegemon. A highlight of the dialogue is an exploration of how past and future crises could combine to give birth to sound money in Europe – the launch, in effect, of a new euro. In the questions and answers within these pages, the authors draw on global examples and the challenges for Europe in deciding how to adapt to successive monetary shocks from the US, crafting a book that would be of interest to general finance and economics readers alongside students, researchers, and policymakers.
We were established in 2020 as an academic studies group. The purpose of our group is to share academic information, write academic books, and share new views and ideas. Our group, which started its activities with this mission, has become an association in 2022. The Academic Studies Group is a group formed by faculty members from more than 20 countries. Our group consists of 800 academicians, 500 of whom are from Turkey and 300 from various countries of the world. We held our first congress together with Çağ University in May 2021. We held our second congress together with Karabuk University in October 2021 . We held our thırd congress together with Osmaniye Korkut Ata University in May 2022. IV. The International Congress of Academic Studies (ASC-2022 / FALL) held in Poland between 3-5 November 2022, hosted by Alcide De Gasperi University of Euroregional Economy, POLAND, face-to-face and online. As the Academic Working Group, we are getting stronger with each congress. We would like to thank the organizing committee and our authors for their support at the congress. We hope to unite this cooperation under the roof of an institute or university in the coming years.
'There is much of interest here, and the authors provide background information and digressions that make their analysis more accessible to noneconomists.' - M. Veseth, Choice This book is the first in English to comprehensively examine the French economy and how it is adjusting to the exigencies of an increasingly globalized environment. The opening of the French market to international competition has forced recent governments to realize that the old closed model in which France had considerable autonomy over policy is no longer valid. French solutions to domestic problems had to be given up in the early 1980s. Changes in technology have had dramatic impacts on the comparative advantage of...

Trou de la sécu, dette sociale, abus des assurés, déficit de la branche santé de la sécurité sociale, depuis le début des années 1970, les discours économiques critiquant le montant et la croissance des dépenses de santé ne cessent de se multiplier. Les débats sur le système de santé portent quasi exclusivement sur son coût et sur les moyens de réduire les dépenses, alors qu'ils pourraient porter sur la stagnation des recettes ou l’existence de nouveaux risques sanitaires à couvrir. Ce manuel a comme double objectif : de présenter de façon synthétique et accessible le fonctionnement du système de santé et les différentes théories économiques inspirant la politique publique ; de souligner les affrontements théoriques de façon à montrer l’existence d’un débat académique qui peut avoir des implications du point de vue de la politique publique.
Bien des problèmes politiques actuels comme l’aménagement du territoire, la sécurité urbaine, la grande pauvreté sont dits « pernicieux ». L’école gagnerait à les prendre en compte dans son éducation au politique. L’ouvrage étudie la tradition anglo-saxonne des wicked problems (les problèmes pernicieux), et les envisage dans leurs cinq dimensions : polysémie, conflictualité, complexité, spatio-temporalité critique et absence de véritable solution. Il aborde les problèmes « superpernicieux » à travers deux exemples majeurs : le changement climatique et la pandémie de la Covid-19. Cet ouvrage analyse également quatre débats relatifs à la pertinence épistémologique de la notion de wicked problem, à son intérêt par rapport aux notions concurrentes, à son caractère opératoire ainsi qu’à ses interprétations et usages possibles sur les plans politique et éducatif. Enfin, il examine la possibilité de traduire pédagogiquement cette approche dans la formation du citoyen, dans le cadre des questions socialement vives.
