  Social Rights and Democracy

  Prim@ Facie, Vol 15, No 29 (2016)

  We are especially interested in manuscripts on social rights and democracy. Our intent is to prepare a set of discussions on how democracies promote social rights today, i.e., to what extent social movements, legal institutions, parliaments and executive power are able to find solutions to the challenges of democracies today? Have, for example, affirmative action, housing and health care programs, and even direct financial assistance to the poor actually reduced inequality? In addition, what are the most effective solutions for poverty? Are courts the best way to ensure social rights today? We are also interested in papers that address the costs of social programs. These are some of the possibilities, but many other questions may be brought to the table. We encourage submissions based on historical approaches carried out by jurists, political scientists, historians, sociologists, and other professionals in fields that have particular focus on legal problems.

  Syndicalism of the public through the mirror of the private

  Sociologie du travail journal special theme issue

  Les salariés du public et du privé relèvent-ils d’un seul et même système de relations professionnelles, ou doit-on considérer qu’il y a, en France au moins, deux sous-systèmes fondamentalement hétérogènes ? Ce numéro thématique entend apporter un nouvel éclairage à ce débat en se centrant prioritairement sur les syndicats du secteur public au regard du secteur privé.
