  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.

  Editorial independence and public powers - Bibliodiversity journal

  Revue Bibliodiversity

  Les recherches consacrées à l’industrie du livre pensent généralement l’indépendance comme un acte de sécession, que ce soit par rapport à la sphère de grande production ou aux pouvoirs publics. Elles mettent ainsi en lumière les stratégies d’éditeurs qui entendent situer leurs activités de manière singulière et autonome par rapport aux figures de l’État et/ou du marché, notamment du point de vue des contenus et des modèles économiques. Le sens de la notion d’édition indépendante varie dès lors selon les pays et les contextes socio-économiques observés et selon chaque acteur éditorial.
