  From manipulation to incentive

  Inflexion of behaviors and public policies

  When it comes to public policy, good ideas and strong projects abound. Yet, the ability to sustainably influence behaviors, to understand how and why they appear or disappear, why they persist or change lacks. Information is available and often even widely distributed, but seemingly non-rational behavior persists. Thus, it is commonly held that the transition between available information and decision-making is influenced by cognitive, social and cultural biases. Research in economics and management offer a viable solution: the “nudges”, i.e. strategic devices that encourage people to take best decisions. At the end of the seventies, the semiotics of action was endowed with a “theory of manipulation”.The issue of nudges is therefore a theoretical and methodological opportunity to revive a collective and international research and advance the theory of manipulation, as well as recollect the most recent achievements and contributions and identify and circumscribe alternative solutions.

  Aging in the new ALPC (Aquitaine, Limousin, Poitou-Charentes) region

  The state of knowledge and practices

  Le vieillissement de la population, plus particulièrement en Limousin compte tenu de sa démographie, a amené les pouvoirs publics à se mobiliser pour répondre aux besoins des personnes âgées. Terre d’innovation, le Limousin produit des travaux et impulse des actions innovantes sur ce territoire. Il s’agit de croiser les regards sur la réalité limousine dans le nouveau contexte régional. La démarche proposée vise à appréhender, recenser, échanger sur les productions et faire rencontrer l’ensemble des acteurs du territoire intervenant à ces différents niveaux en y intégrant les personnes âgées directement concernées. L’ensemble de ce recueil de données et d’actions concerne uniquement la nouvelle région Aquitaine, Limousin et Poitou-Charentes.
