The Nancy N. Boothe papers, 1980-2009 [bulk 1990-1997], are composed of articles, notes, reports and a wide variety of feminist publications. Much of the material documents the U.N. Fourth World Conference on Women, which Ms. Boothe attended as Executive Director of Atlanta's Feminist Women's Health Center. Artifacts, artwork and textiles relate to the conference and to other women's and health issues. ; Born in Battles Wharf, Alabama (1948), Nancy N. Boothe graduated from the University of South Alabama as a registered nurse (1971). She received a B.S. in nursing from the Medical College of Georgia (1976), and a master's degree in Counseling from Troy State University [Florida Region] (1981). Boothe served in the U.S. Nurse Corps in the U.S. and Korea (1970-1984), and worked as clinical director and consultant at a number of health facilities in Louisiana and Florida. She became Executive Director of the Atlanta Feminist Women's Health Center in 1994. In 1995, she attended the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China, where she taught the workshop, ""GYN Self-Help."" Boothe has served on the boards of All Women's Health Services in Portland and Eugene, Oregon; the Sexual Assault Center, Atlanta, Georgia; and the Jeanette Rankin Foundation, Athens, Georgia. She is also a member of the Feminist Majority Foundation's ""Women's Commission for Congressional Oversight"" and A.P.D. Citizen Review Panel.; Founded in California in 1971 by Carol Downer (1933-) and Lorraine Rothman (1932-2007), the Feminist Women's Health Center was established to empower women through self-knowledge, education and self-help groups. The Atlanta Feminist Women's Health Center was established in 1977. Its mission is to ""provide accessible, comprehensive gynecological healthcare to all who need it without judgment. As innovative healthcare leaders, [they] work collaboratively within [their] community and nationally to promote reproductive health, rights and justice. [They] advocate for wellness, uncensored health information and fair public policies by educating the larger community and empowering [their] clients to make their own decisions.""; The United Nations convened the Fourth World Conference on Women, September 4-15, 1995, in Beijing, China, with a Platform for Action that aimed at achieving greater equality and opportunity for women. Three previous World Conferences were held in Mexico City (International Women's Year, 1975), Copenhagen (1980) and Nairobi (1985). 189 governments and more than 5,000 representatives from 2,100 non-governmental organizations participated in the Beijing Conference. The principal themes were the advancement and empowerment of women in relation to women's human rights, women and poverty, women and decision-making, the girl-child, violence against women and other areas of concern. The resulting documents of the Conference are The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. The U.N. Fourth World Conference on Women manifested a global women's movement for change and has been called ""the Woodstock of the women's movement.""; The World Conference on Women was also accompanied by an informal meeting (August 30-September 8) of non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This NGO Forum on Women, Beijing '95, brought together thousands of women from around the world to exchange information and ideas, celebrate women's achievements and contributions and draw attention and develop solutions to discrimination facing women world-wide.

L'architecture fiscale des États-Unis mérite une attention toute particulière de la part des Européens, dans la mesure où elle constitue une vaste union monétaire, comparable à la zone euro sur le plan géographique et économique. Le système fiscal américain se caractérise par un degré élevé d'autonomie fiscale des États fédéraux. Les transferts entre les différents niveaux de gouvernement sont un élément essentiel de son système, assurant ainsi son bon fonctionnement. En cas d'insolvabilité, les États fédéraux en faillite ne sont pas renfloués par le gouvernement fédéral ou d'autres États ; les exemples sont nombreux pour en attester. Des stabilisateurs automatiques sous forme de dépenses (prestations sociales) et de recettes (impôts) existent et répartissent l'impact des chocs asymétriques au sein de l'union monétaire. L'UE, en revanche, a par le passé renfloué les États membres insolvables, suscitant un risque moral, alors qu'elle ne dispose pas de stabilisateurs automatiques pour répartir les effets du cycle économique. Non seulement ses règles budgétaires sont procycliques, mais elles demeurent inappliquées. La cohérence de la réaction des États-Unis face aux chocs macroéconomiques asymétriques et aux insolvabilités des États reste son principal atout. Elle représente une leçon à tirer pour la zone euro, qui doit trouver une réglementation claire en matière de faillite, voire appliquer des règles budgétaires plus efficaces ainsi que des stabilisateurs automatiques pour préserver sa prospérité et cohérence
