La prolongation d'activités déficitaires constitue une faute de gestion qui ne présente pas nécessairement le caractère de gravité requis par l'article 530 du Code des sociétés au regard des difficultés qui ont entouré la gestion et de la politique de redressement menée, telles qu'analysées dans les circonstances dans lesquelles se trouvaient les administrateurs lors de la décision de prolongation. ; Peer reviewed

The fact that in recent years citizen action groups have caused a change In the structure of political processes in Germany can hardly be denied. But neither the state of research reached so far nor the experience of political practice in dealing with action groups permits reliable judgments on the importance of these changes . Did the political system of Germany gain a new element or are the activities of civic groups a more or less shortlived fad or are we at the start of a transformation of Western political systems at the end of which we will have the often described "participatory democracy"? No valid answer can be given to these questions - as there probably is no typical civic action group. We are dealing with a completely heterogeneous pattern of political organization and action if we take into account the aims of the groups, the means they use to achieve their ends, the organization and membership structure, their fields of activity, and more.

International audience ; The politicization of urban nature has become almost unavoidable, to the point that the City Council of Paris, like many others European cities, has for a long time been involved in the development of vegetalization's projects in the city. Today the implementation of a corpus of public policies and programmes could be summed up in a desire to achieve great results (100 ha of nature in the city) through devices that are based on small-scale and high participatory value. Beginning with the history of nature in Paris from 1789 to the present day, the article seeks to understand if and how the place given to the inhabitants in relation to the res publica has evolved. The analysis underlines a shift that has taken place in the public policy approach to urban nature, concerning citizen participation in the city's vegetalization projects : the management of nature which was carried out more by collective entities (associations) now seems to be more and more subject to an individual approach (citizen), which has become more widespread thanks to the use of digital platforms and applications. ; La politisation de la nature urbaine est devenue presque inévitable, à tel point que la Mairie de Paris, comme beaucoup d'autres villes européennes, a mis en place de projets de végétalisation dans la ville. Aujourd'hui, la mise en œuvre d'un ensemble de politiques et de programmes publics pourrait se résumer en une volonté d'obtenir de grands résultats (100 ha de nature en ville) grâce à des dispositifs basés sur une valeur participative à petite échelle et élevée.

The protection of collective interests is a topical issue in EU law. A significant challenge arises from the fact that EU law traditionally connects rights and interests at an individual, rather than a collective level. This article explores three areas of EU law (environmental law, consumer law, and access to documents), which reveal three different approaches to collective interests. In order to foster the development of a coherent framework for protecting collective interests, the suggestion is made to maintain the classic mechanism according to which broadly conceived individual interests function as triggers for individual rights, and to complement this with mechanisms allowing collective interests also to activate the enforcement of such rights.

AbstractOn 30 September 2015, the European Commission adopted its Action Plan on Building a Capital Markets Union

The Appreciative Inquiry method (AIM) is an approach to 'finding out' about issues of concern. The method has been used in a variety of situations where the issue to be investigated is well defined and accepted by the stakeholders. We have also found that the method provides a framework for undertaking research in the field or action research. The new researcher undertaking action research can find such an undertaking to be daunting. The dilemma is finding an approach that will enable insight into a situation without the method used distorting its findings. We have found that thinking about the underlying philosophy and the approach to be adopted is a key decision to be made in advance before embarking upon the research. In this paper, we consider the contribution that AIM can make to action research by providing examples of the outcomes of enquiry into several distinctly different areas of interest. Although springing from research ideas about knowledge elicitation, there have been several developments that enhance its capability for enquiry and as a consequence its potential as a method for action research. Since its conception, AIM has been used in a number of projects and developed through several research programmes and has shown its usefulness in supporting the researchers' investigations. This paper provides a summary of the developments with reference to some applications that have contributed to the idea and in moving its application forward.

Practice-based researchers in the design field usually adoptanthropological methods for 'observing' or 'studying' the field inorder to come up with some 'design solutions' for a provocativeco-designing of socio-political spaces. Usually such approachesmove in the direction of legitimization of the 'design knowledge'.What designers in socio-political action research do is an act oftranslation, which in various stages of the action gets different shapes(e.g. between their own knowledge and participants' knowledge).Translation always tries to fill the cracks between an unknownspace and a known one. Therefore translation becomes afunctional and hierarchical bridge for those who do not knowthe origin's language. But such a bridge has many cracks, whichin a 'good translation' are not visible to readers but only to thetranslator. Therefore the translator, by hiding these cracks,never allows readers to engage in the work. However thesecracks are fundamentally important for understanding thepositioning and self-reflexivity occurring during the research.This paper draws a retrospective reflection upon the process ofcollaboration with women rights activists in Iran and Sweden. Byadopting a new politics of translation called 'free translation' 5,I argue that action research in the design field needs such a resituationalmethod for formulating actions in other contexts, wherethe first language is not familiar with the second, third and so on.A free translation brings up questions of 'qualification', 'power'and 'legitimization' and opens a space for more engagement byintensifying the cracks in disciplines, knowledge and contexts.
