L'économie solidaire en pratiques
Author: Madeleine Hersent
Publisher: Erès
ISBN: 9782749242873
Category : Economic development
Languages : fr
Pages : 250
Book Description
"Cet ouvrage est conçu comme une carte de visite de l'économie solidaire, des démarches qu'elle induit et de leurs impacts sur des questions sociétales. Des acteurs engagés montrent comment ils ont construit et développé des initiatives citoyennes alternatives dans différents domaines de l'économie solidaire, sur divers territoires : finance solidaire, commerce équitable; auto-construction, régies de quartier, lieux artistiques et culturels, santé, initiatives de femmes, consommation responsable. Ces initiatives sont présentées telles qu'elles sont et non telles qu'on voudrait qu'elles soient, sans éluder les conditions souvent difficiles de leur exercice sur le terrain où elles demeurent peu reconnues et insuffisamment soutenues, parfois même combattues. Les auteurs insistent sur leurs enjeux, en pointant les points forts et les points faibles, mais surtout les stratégies à l'oeuvre pour les développer. En effet, elles portent en elles les prémices de nouveaux modes de vivre, de travailler et de produire de la richesse sans exploiter ni exclure et sans détruire la planète."[4 ème de couverture].

The Sharing Economy in Europe
Author: Vida Česnuitytė
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030868974
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 429
Book Description
This open access book considers the development of the sharing and collaborative economy with a European focus, mapping across economic sectors, and country-specific case studies. It looks at the roles the sharing economy plays in sharing and redistribution of goods and services across the population in order to maximise their functionality, monetary exchange, and other aspects important to societies. It also looks at the place of the sharing economy among various policies and how the contexts of public policies, legislation, digital platforms, and other infrastructure interrelate with the development and function of the sharing economy. The book will help in understanding the future (sharing) economy models as well as to contribute in solving questions of better access to resources and sustainable innovation in the context of degrowth and growing inequalities within and between societies. It will also provide a useful source for solutions to the big challenges of our times such as climate change, the loss of biodiversity, and recently the coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19). This book will be of interest to academics and students in economics and business, organisational studies, sociology, media and communication and computer science.

Waking the Asian Pacific Co-operative Potential
Author: Morris Altman
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0128166673
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 413
Book Description
Replete with case studies, Waking the Asian Pacific Cooperative Potential applies a novel theoretical framework to aid in understanding meaningful change in cooperative firms, mutual firms, collectives, and communes, focusing in particular on the underexamined Asia Pacific region. It explores the common, albeit competing, objectives of transformational cooperatives that deliver a range of social benefits and corporative coops where the cooperative exhibits the characteristics of a competitive investor firm. The book provides examples of successful cooperatives in eleven countries across the Asia Pacific and reviews the theoretical framework of cooperatives, including issues pertaining to socio-economic, politico-legal, and domestic and international factors. Waking the Asian Pacific Co-operative Potential provides early-career researchers and graduate students with a systematic resource of cooperatives in the Asia Pacific, highlighting core lessons from case studies regarding the ideal role of cooperatives in a modern economy and on the enabling factors of the role of the state, the market potential for scale-up, the mitigation of poverty, and civil society. - Provides numerous case studies drawn from successful co-operative organizations across the Asia Pacific region - Advances a theoretical framework to help readers access and understand the reasons for co-operative success in the Asia Pacific region - Develops tools for practitioners to establish effective co-operatives and restructure them to optimal goals
