  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.

  Regions and the European Union’s cohesion policy

  La cohésion économique, sociale et territoriale est un objectif stratégique fondamental pour l’Union européenne et ses États membres tant en termes de politique qu’en termes budgétaires. Le colloque permettra de développer la connaissance scientifique et la discussion dans un cadre pluridisciplinaire (sciences politiques, juridiques, économiques et sciences sociales) à travers des contributions transversales (pour tous les types de régions, régions en retard de développement, régions en transition, et régions plus développées) et thématiques (recherche et innovation, PME, politique sociale, numérique, environnement, Réseaux européens de transport, etc). Cette manifestation scientifique abordera les questions clefs des objectifs, du financement, de l’impact de l’action publique européenne sur les territoires / le territoire de l’Union européenne. Les communications pourront aussi porter sur les acteurs (acteurs politiques, acteurs de gestion), les parties prenantes et la société civile, sans négliger les questions de la pertinence et de la légitimation de la politique de cohésion.

  Corruption and conflicts of interests

  Third seminar of the "Economic analysis of public law and policies" series

  Participants to the November 24 2010 session on Impact Assessment and the Scientific Committee of the Seminar have suggested that, broadly speaking, topics revolving around corruption, the rule of law and good governance would be of interest for the next session. We feel that, within this array, corruption stricto sensu and the broader set of public agents behaviours generally described as characterizing a situation of “conflict of interest” may be a good focus. The day will focus, more precisely, on the analysis of the determinants of corruption, and the impact of corruption on economic growth. Certain major concepts such as agency or transparency should be part of the analysis and debate in order to open a broad discussion on the rationale and efficiency of anti-corruption policies.
