Partnership and Leadership
Sustainable development has become a central perspective in environmental strategies around the world. It is clear that neither governments nor businesses have the capability to bring about sustainability on their own. Therefore, collaboration has emerged as a central concept.

La transdisciplinarité et l’opérationnalisation des connaissances scientifiques
La recherche transdisciplinaire peut prendre plusieurs formes et s’inviter à l’insu du chercheur. Mais depuis les années soixante-dix, dans la foulée d’un rapport de l’Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE), plusieurs recherches s’inscrivent à son enseigne de manière explicite. Ce livre s’intéresse aux enjeux épistémologiques, méthodologiques et organisationnels de ce type de recherche. Si la transdisciplinarité n’est pas toujours associée à la présence d’acteurs non académiques pour la coconstruction de savoirs, la présence de plusieurs disciplines est largement reconnue. Aussi, les concepts de multi-inter-pluri-circumdisciplinar...

In so doing, reporting companies claim, they are demonstrating a clear commitment to transparency and accountability to their key stakeholder groups. However, in the prevailing voluntaristic, business-case-centred climate within which ...

Développement durable et responsabilité sociale
"À l'ère de la mondialisation et de la crise écologique, la critiquerenouvelée du productivisme, du consumérisme et des inégalités internationales a ouvert un champ d'action à des formes inédites de mobilisation sociale et économique capables d'instrumentaliser les règles du marché au profit de causes associées au développement durable et à la responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RSE). La normalisation, la certification, la vérification, entre autres, se sont alors imposées dans un nouveau modèle d'encadrement des activités économiques qui laisse une grande place aux organisations non gouvernementales. La propagation rapide de ces pratiques, des firmes multinationales...
