L'esprit de défense est essentiel à la cohésion nationale. Cela passe par une action collective entre les armées et l'éducation nationale. Tout en respectant la liberté pédagogique des enseignants, il est important de renforcer les ressources disponibles avec les réservistes pour construire cet esprit de défense si nécessaire à la nation.

As the number of complex transnational problems have continued to grow, so too has the desire to combat them through global partnerships and collective action. In response, the United Nations (U.N.) and member states created the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. This study provides a background on international organizations and efforts in collectively moving towards sustainable development goals. It examines the SDGs (specific emphasis on Food–Energy–Water (FEW) Nexus) and means of governance and implementation at the global level. It also seeks to describe and visualize partnerships and collective action using network analysis tools and techniques. The network visualization demonstrates the organizations working together and towards the SDGs, which provides the type of structure and key actors and arrangements for implementation at the global stage.

Participants in the #MeToo movement on Twitter expressed emotions like rage, pain, and solidarity in their personal accounts of sexual violence. This article explores the digital circulation of these affects and considers how the outpouring of tweets about sexual harassment and abuse contribute to a feminist politics centered on collective healing. The particular emotions expressed in the #MeToo Twitter archive subvert the logics of quantification and visibility that undergird popular feminism and the attention economy, and produce an affective excess that works toward movement founder Tarana Burke's original project of "mass healing." At a moment wherein popular feminism emphasizes individual empowerment and consumption, and carceral feminism relies on criminalization and incarceration, the #MeToo movement's focus on shared emotions represents the potential for a feminist politics rooted in collective support and restorative justice.

Quelles peuvent être les actions à mener par les directions des ressources humaines afin de répondre efficacement au défi de la création des compétences collectives ? Depuis que les nouveaux modèles stratégiques ont recentré la réflexion vers l'organisation interne des entreprises, la création et la gestion de compétences clés sont ainsi devenues une priorité afin de créer et conserver un avantage concurrentiel durable. Pour la fonction contingente des RH, coexiste donc la question des compétences individuelles avec celles des compétences collectives et de leur articulation avec la stratégie d'entreprise. Ceci étant, la Gestion des Ressources Humaines est-elle assez outillée face à ce concept, plus complexe mais indispensable dans l'économie du savoir d'aujourd'hui ? Egalement, comment la RH peut-elle s'imposer comme un réel partenaire stratégique de la direction et l'accompagner sur ce terrain ?

In 1989, 498 West German journalists were asked to choose, from a list of 34 historical events -- eg, the end of WWII, the 1949 German currency reform, the building of the Berlin wall, the student movement, & the Chernobyl disaster -- which had influenced their political thinking, & what had been their political reaction to these events. Younger journalists, with no memory of WWII & its aftermath, focused more on recent events eg, the Chernobyl (USSR) nuclear plant disaster & the discovery of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome virus. The dominant thrust from recent historical experiences led all age groups toward the Left, even though some events, eg, cold war experiences, caused some backlash. The influence of time of birth on memory, intergenerational discontinuity, & sensitivity to specific types of historical experiences is analyzed in relation to the concept of generations. 5 Tables, 54 References.

This paper investigates the interaction between establishment-level codetermination & industry-level collective bargaining in Germany. Based on a bargaining model, we derive our main hypothesis: In establishments covered by collective bargaining agreements, works councils are more likely to be engaged in productivity-enhancing activities & less engaged in rent-seeking activities than their counterparts in uncovered establishments. Our empirical analysis confirms this hypothesis. The presence of works councils exerts a positive impact on productivity within the covered industrial relations regime but not within the uncovered regime. The presence of works councils has a positive effect on wages within the uncovered regime but not to the same degree within the covered regime. 7 Tables, 1 Figure, 33 References.

Le renouvellement des conventions collectives chez les trois grands constructeurs automobiles américains a été marqué par de nombreuses incertitudes pour le secteur. Le syndicat UAW, particulièrement affaibli par une enquête du FBI pour corruption avérée de ses plus hauts dirigeants, a su néanmoins utiliser l'arme de la grève pour non seulement défendre certains acquis, mais aussi pour accélérer la transition devant aboutir à l'élimination de la double grille des salaires introduite juste avant la grande récession.
