Die Grenzen der Solidarität

2020

This paper uses the COVID-19 pandemic to reflect on the relationship between governance and solidarity It considers how a social model based on self-regulating individuals has been complemented by a new form of state dirigisme reliant on evocations of solidarity However, this configuration may be approaching the limits of its viability Given that governance relies on the robust internalization and execution of both care and control and on an ethos of renunciation, especially among the middle and upper classes, the paper proposes the need for analyses that better incorporate concepts of social inequality © Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG, Gottingen 2020

Le commerce équitable et la société civile internationale : une chance pour la mondialisation d'un droit de l'économie solidaire

2003

SUMMARY The international trade law passes through a crisis of legitimacy following the inequitable character of its rules and the irrelevance of its principles to the peculiarities of the North-South relations. Being the legal translation of the capitalist free market economic system, these rules are to protect the mercantile and free trade values. In order to overcome this crisis the movement of fair trade has emerged and has since its origin been supported by members of the international civil society. Fair trade means taking into account the standard of living and the conditions of employment of the marginalized producers in developing countries so as to improve them. This study is an a…

PRIMO experiment: study-action on the dynamics of the creation of new enterprises and jobs in the Social and Solidarity Economy

2016

A research-action was carried out in 2015 and 2016 by the Regional Chamber of the Social and Solidarity Economy (CRESS) of Franche-Comté, accompanied by public partners, scientific and from the field of support, with the aim of better understand the dynamics of the creation of SSE enterprises in the regions, identified by the criterion of employment. The results of the survey component, obtained through the Catalyse® method (see http://www.acokima.org), make it possible to establish a typology of primary-employer structures. In particular, they show that the ability of a territory to "generate" new employers in the ESS is primarily linked to the existing voluntary sector and to the possibil…

Germany: Where Are We Going?

2012

Germany’s health policy, in the past, has tried to limit health expenditures by defining an overall health budget, by installing a DRG-system and by forcing patients to participate directly at health costs by demanding copayments. These measurements were somehow effective in keeping premiums stable but have led to resource allocation at the bedside and therefore on an implicit level. Yet, implicit-level decisions create ethical dilemmas for physicians as they not only have to deliver best medical care but shall also have cost in mind, are unjust because rationing criteria differ from one case to another, and create a general fear of legal uncertainty, in turn leading to defensive medicine w…

La amistad y el amor en el epistolario de Séneca

2008

Joaquin.Beltran@uv.es El motivo por el que nos hemos decidido a estudiar en un mismo trabajo la amistad y el amor no es otro que histórico, por la conocida ambigüedad en la que se movían los primitivos filósofos griegos y, además, para llegar a saber la posición concreta de Séneca. Ello nos ha llevado a intentar codificar su pensamiento sobre la amistad y el amor en relación, sobre todo, con Aristóteles y Cicerón. Así, hemos intentado demostrar que Séneca ha unido a los conceptos de amistad e incluso amor otras ideas nuevas, que le dan un aire diferente, como la de solidaridad, asociación o sociedad, y que nos inducen a pensar en una definición afirmativa y muy positiva de la amistad frente…

THE SHAPLEY-SOLIDARITY VALUE FOR GAMES WITH A COALITION STRUCTURE

2013

A value for games with a coalition structure is introduced, where the rules guiding cooperation among the members of the same coalition are different from the interaction rules among coalitions. In particular, players inside a coalition exhibit a greater degree of solidarity than they are willing to use with players outside their coalition. The Shapley value is therefore used to compute the aggregate payoffs for the coalitions, and the solidarity value to obtain the payoffs for the players inside each coalition.

Índice de Capacidades Asociativas : construcción teórica y propuesta metodológica de cálculo para organizaciones de economía solidaria

2018

La construcción del concepto de capacidades asociativas y el diseño de una metodología para calcular sus índices, han sido la razón principal de este estudio que tomó como unidad de análisis a la nacionalidad Tsáchila. Este grupo poblacional indígena está radicado en el cantón de Santo Domingo en Ecuador, y posee limitaciones económicas, organizacionales, educacionales y culturales que ponen en riesgo su conservación étnica. Al aplicar la investigación sobre capacidades asociativas en la nacionalidad Tsáchila, se pretendió identificar las fortalezas y las debilidades presentes en las relaciones económicas de solidaridad de este grupo étnico, de manera que puedan invertir su situación defici…

Germany: Where Have We Been?

2012

Germany’s health system organization is based on three major principles: compulsory insurance, compulsory contributions from both employers and employees and solidarity. A vast majority of German citizens follow the idea that health risks should be shared collectively by the community of all insured persons [9]. Irrespective of the amount each person had paid into the social system, all have access to comprehensive coverage. In order to understand Germany’s peculiarities in health policy, this chapter provides an introduction into Germany’s model of health care and then discusses which kinds of resource allocation strategies already have evolved. The second chapter deals with prospects for …

The Program of Health Volunteer Promoters for OlderAdults: The Well-Being of the Volunteers at Leisure Time

2018

The study of ageing processes has gained increased attention in recent years, partly due to the growth of this population group (United Nations, World population prospects: The 2015 revision. New York: United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. https://esa.un.org/unpd/wpp/publications/files/key_findings_wpp_2015.pdf. Accessed 25 Sep 2016, 2015). Research into this area has focused on older adult well-being (Au et al, Clinical Gerontologist 38:203–210, 2015) and the identification of factors having an influence on well-being at this stage of the life cycle (Carstensen, Current Directions in Psychological Science 4:151–156, 1995). These lines of research have emphasized the con…
