U.K. Financialization of Public Service Delivery Goes Global
Rather than social innovation or the promotion of social and environmental justice, amplified by notions of “global Britain,” the British state continues to propagate a series of aging public service delivery initiatives, mostly based on private funding. Although before Brexit there was strong British influence on European Union policies for social investment, this influence also extends globally. At the heart of these initiatives is the British Council’s Global Social Enterprise program with its reports, mapping exercises, U.K. study tours, and resources available for social entrepreneurs. The Council supports regular articles in the online Pioneers Post, which extol the benefits of impact investment using private funds.
Citoyenneté dans un État pluri-national. Le cas de l'ex-Yougoslavie
Dans la Yougoslavie federale, chaque republique disposait de sa nation, hormis la Bosnie-Herzegovine. L’existence de minorites nationales implique deux categories de citoyens, bien que l’egalite des citoyens ait ete proclamee et que la nation ne soit pas liee a un territoire. Les structures institutionnelles et les modes de decision font que la Yougoslavie ressemblait davantage a une confederation. Les crises nationales ont ete resolues par la repression et la la satisfaction des demandes formulees. L’evolution confederale du systeme politique yougoslave conduira a une interpretation nationale des divergences economiques et des conflits sociaux. La dislocation de la Yougoslavie resulterait-elle donc de la maniere dont a ete utilisee la question nationale par le parti communiste pour se maintenir au pouvoir ?
