"Depuis les années 1960, le mouvement communautaire québécois a œuvré pour la justice et les droits des personnes parmi les plus vulnérables de la société. Il a contribué de façon décisive à la reconnaissance et à l'interReconnaissance de divers groupes minorisés. Ses actions de soutien, de conscientisation, de mobilisation contre les différentes formes d'inégalité, de marginalisation et de discrimination, ont changé la face du paysage social et proposé une vision plus inclusive de la société québécoise. C'est ce que racontent plus de deux cent trente acteur.es-témoins provenant des secteurs femmes, immigration, LGBT, santé mentale et handicap, de même que des artistes ayant accompagné le mouvement et, particulièrement, ses actions liées aux droits de la personne. Quelles furent, depuis la Révolution tranquille, les idées et les actions les plus marquantes ? Comment se sont déployées les mobilisations les plus significatives et les plus porteuses ? Comment se sont croisées au sein des divers secteurs, les préoccupations, les idées phares, les stratégies, les alliances et les résistances ? Quels liens établir entre les enjeux qui se présentaient au moment de la Révolution tranquille et ceux qui sont au cœur de la société actuelle ? Comment les créations artistiques ont-elles contribué aux luttes et pénétré notre imaginaire collectif ? C'est à la rencontre d'une mémoire plurielle imbriquée dans les transformations sociales les plus profondes du Québec que nous convient les auteur.es de cet ouvrage ainsi qu'à une réflexion de fond sur la force de l'action collective."--Page 4 de la couverture

Elena Frech addresses the issue of candidate (re-)selection for the European elections. Studying German parties, the author investigates both, the rules and practice of candidate selection. The study is one of the first to shed light on the goals political parties pursue when selecting candidates in the European context. First, the author provides a detailed account of the formal and informal procedures German parties use to construct the electoral lists for the European elections. Then she turns towards the individual candidates, showing which factors determine the list placement of incumbent parliamentarians. The findings highlight the importance of individual candidate characteristics as well as party institutions and are of interest not only to scientists but also to parties, politicians, and citizens.
