Qu'est-ce que bien gouverner aujourd'hui?
La loi d’administration financière qui autorisa la création du Conseil du trésor du Québec a été adoptée le samedi 19 décembre 1970. Pour souligner le 50e anniversaire de cet événement, le Réseau international d’innovation et de prospective (r2ip) a choisi de consacrer un livre de réflexions tout autant rétrospectives que prospectives sur ce qu’est la bonne gouvernance. Ces réflexions ont été faites à partir des pratiques mises en œuvre par ce Conseil ainsi que par celles d’organismes analogues, ailleurs dans le monde. Fidèle à l’esprit du fondateur de la prospective, Gaston Berger, nous avons choisi de faire cette analyse en regardant toujours plus loin, toujours plus large, de la façon la plus interdisciplinaire et internationale possible, en prenant des risques qui vont toujours dans le sens de ce qui serait plus humain et qui mérite soit d’advenir, soit d’être préservé.

La créativité à l'oeuvre en prospective, Entretien avec Jean-Marie Bézard, conseiller de synthèse
La prospective n’est pas la prévision, la prospective n’est pas la science du futur. La prospective est un chemin qui se marche, à plusieurs, avec les yeux grands ouverts pour « voir loin, voir large, voir autrement ». C’est sur ce chemin – qu’il connaît bien – que nous entraîne Jean-Marie Bézard dans le présent entretien, nous invitant à déconstruire les évidences, à ouvrir grand les horizons et à multiplier les points de vue pour engager ce travail de création de l’« à-venir ». Au fil de l’ouvrage et de la conversation se dessinent ainsi les contours de la démarche prospective, de ses origines. Se posent également les défis qui jalonnent son application ...
Sphagnum Mosses of Eastern Canada
Sphagnum mosses are small plants of the division of Bryophyta that are widespread and abundant in peatlands and several other types of wetlands. About sixty species of Sphagnum mosses are known for the territories of Quebec, Labrador and the Maritimes (with the exception of the island of Newfoundland). However, it can be laborious to identify these plants to the species taxonomic level. This book provides a unique dichotomous key for a visual identification of Sphagnum mosses that will help to demystify the lingo used in botany. To make it easier for identifiers, it also presents ways to recognize species in the field, notes about their habitats, and distribution maps. This document will be useful to ecologists, foresters, biologists and geographers involved in environmental management, as well as stakeholders responsible for managing the natural resources they protect or exploit. This guide is also intended as a tool for any naturalist or botanist working east of the Rockies, or in the Canadian Arctic. The botanists of the United States will find this document useful for the Sphagnum mosses found in Northern States or in the region of New England.
Basic Income
“Powerful as well as highly engaging—a brilliant book.” —Amartya Sen A Times Higher Education Book of the Week It may sound crazy to pay people whether or not they’re working or even looking for work. But the idea of providing an unconditional basic income to everyone, rich or poor, active or inactive, has long been advocated by such major thinkers as Thomas Paine, John Stuart Mill, and John Kenneth Galbraith. Now, with the traditional welfare state creaking under pressure, it has become one of the most widely debated social policy proposals in the world. Basic Income presents the most acute and fullest defense of this radical idea, and makes the case that it is our most realistic ...
Basic Income in Japan
Basic Income in Japan is the first collective volume in English entirely devoted to the discussion of Japan's potential for a basic income program in the context of the country's changing welfare state. Vanderborght and Yamamori bring together over a dozen contributors to provide a general overview of the scholarly debate on universal and unconditional basic income, including a foreword by Ronald Dore. Drawing on empirical data on poverty and inequality as well as normative arguments, this balanced approach to a radical idea is essential reading for the study of contemporary Japan.
Arguing about Justice
Fifty of today's finest thinkers were asked to let their imaginations run free to advance new ideas on a wide range of social and political issues. They did so as friends, on the occasion of Philippe Van Parijs's sixtieth birthday.
The Good Life Beyond Growth
Many countries have experienced a decline of economic growth for decades, an effect that was only aggravated by the recent global financial crisis. What if in the 21st century this is no longer an exception, but the general rule? Does an economy without growth necessarily bring hardship and crises, as is often assumed? Or could it be a chance for a better life? Authors have long argued that money added to an income that already secures basic needs no longer enhances well-being. Also, ecological constraints and a sinking global absorption capacity increasingly reduce the margin of profitability on investments. Efforts to restore growth politically, however, often lead to reduced levels of soc...
