Book Description
L'Europe est engagée dans la création d'une monnaie unique, l'euro, dont les exigences déterminent aujourd'hui la plupart des grands choix économiques et politiques. Paradoxalement, les conditions de réussite de ce projet, ses risques d'échec et son coût effectif ne sont jamais évoqués avec clarté devant les citoyens. Tout se passe comme s'il y avait là un tabou absolu. C'est ce tabou que le livre de Gérard Lafay veut briser. Au-delà des rhétoriques convenues, à mille lieues du pamphlet autant que du plaidoyer partisan, il s'agit de " mettre à plat " les éléments d'un débat occulté. L'auteur fait ressortir les contradictions d'une logique qui cherche désespérément à combiner le libéralisme de type américain et un archémonétarisme allemand ; logique qui, pour la France, se révèle extraordinairement coûteuse en termes de chômage, de croissance et de souffrance sociale. Comment se déterminer en connaissance de cause ? Gérard Lafay met cette grande question à la portée du citoyen.

The Language of Europe
Author: Domenico Cosmai
Publisher: Université de Bruxelles
ISBN: 9782800415741
Category : Langues officielles
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
This book offers a clear and comprehensive introduction to the policy area of multilingualism and to translation practice within the EU institutions. This first edition in English builds on the success, among academics and practitioners alike, of its two preceding Italian editions (published respectively in 2003 and 2007 with the title 'Tradurre per l’Unione europea', Milan, Hoepli), which have closely followed the EU journey through its successive enlargements, and the impact of these multiple accessions on the politics and practice of institutional translation. It proposes an in-depth, up-to-the-minute analysis of the direct relationships between member-state languages and the problems of knowledge transfer between the diverse languages and cultures that make up the patchwork which is the EU. Enriched throughout with practical examples from many among the twenty-four official languages of the European Union, specially selected and adapted for an Anglophone readership, The Language of Europe features detailed studies on the following topics: the background to and arguments in favour of EU multilingualism; the language features of EU documents; variations in translation practice between the different EU institutions, agencies and consultative bodies; the day-to-day working practice of translators and lawyer-linguists; the impact of ICT on translation practice; distinctive genres of EU institutional translation; what the future holds for EU translation. The volume incorporates a range of sample texts from a variety of EU official languages, provided in the source-language original and English target-language translation, in order to give the student and specialist an insight into and overview of the rigour and procedural expertise which are demanded and can be seen at work from initial (co-)draft to final version in the rendering of a “multilingual” EU document.

Assemblee Nationale, Bundestag and the European Union
Author: Anja Thomas
Publisher:
ISBN: 9783848747726
Category : Europe
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
The growing importance of national parliaments is one feature of the stronger differentiation within the EU. Habermasian expectations of an increasing consensus on political norms seem to be invalidated by current events. In her book, in which she draws on her award-winning PhD thesis, Anja Thomas makes an important theoretical and empirical contribution to our understanding of the social causes of this development. Analysing EU affairs in the Assemblee nationale and Bundestag since 1979, she uncovers a paradox: increasing experience with the EU leads to national institutions growing in importance for MPs discourse on the role of parliaments in the EU. Revisiting social theory, in particular Max Webers old institutionalism, the author presents a new model that explains this phenomenon. This book should be read by students of both parliaments in the EU and European integration processes.

Blockchain: Capabilities, Economic Viability, and the Socio-Technical Environment
Author: Nils Braun-Dubler
Publisher: vdf Hochschulverlag AG
ISBN: 3728140163
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Blockchain is widely considered a new key technology. The Foundation for Technology Assessment (TA-SWISS) has proposed a comprehensive assessment of blockchain technologies. With this publication, TA-SWISS provides the much-needed social contextualisation of blockchain. The first, more technical part of the study takes an in-depth look at how blockchain functions and examines the economic potential of this technology. By analysing multiple real-world applications, the study sheds light on where the blockchain has advantages over traditional applications and where existing technologies continue to be the better solution. The second part of the study examines how blockchain became mainstream. It explores the origins of blockchain in the early history of information technology and computer networks. The study also reveals the impact blockchain has on industrial and public spaces. Finally, it discusses the social implications and challenges of blockchain against the background of a new socio-technical environment.

Labour Rights as Human Rights
Author: Philip Alston
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Are efforts to protect workers' rights compatible with the forces of globalization? How can minimum standards designed to protect labor rights be implemented in a world in which national labor law is more and more at the mercy of international forces beyond its control? The contributors to this volume argue that international agreements and institutions are of central importance if labor rights are to be protected in a globalized economy, exploring some of the options that are open to governments, civil society, and the labor movement in the years ahead.
