International audience ; Despise a long tradition of research in the Arctic region, French policy in the Arctic in appearance seems to be running backwards. President of the French Republic François Hollande presented France's roadmap during the Arctic Circle in November 2015 in Reykjavik with the main objective being to increase the French Arctic presence in the political, diplomatic and scientific arenas. The formalised Arctic policy is based on four aspects with the environmental issue in the background: political, scientific, economic and environmental. The policy of France in the Arctic is integrated into those of its allies such as the German Federal Republic and the European Union with numerous close synergies.

As part of a growing body of work focused on the social implications of Pentecostal Christianity, this article explores one of the ways that this religion is shaping relational life on the Zambian Copperbelt. Through a discussion of the changing nature of the prosperity gospel, I show how Pentecostalism embeds believers in social relationships that often extend beyond their religious cohort. In the absence of the lavish wealth promised by prosperity gospel preachers, Pentecostals have had to alter their understanding of divinely authored economic success. Specifically, local definitions of prosperity are characterized not by uniform, individualized wealth, but rather by progress along a gradient of material achievement through relationships that span differences in economic status. This retooled version of the prosperity gospel serves to integrate believers into the wider social world by emphasizing material inequality and promoting displays of wealth. Each of these aspects of Copperbelt Pentecostalism embeds its adherents in networks of exchange that are a central component of urban Zambian sociality. This analysis of Pentecostalism expands on studies of this religion that focus only on formal ritual life, while at the same time challenging interpretations of Pentecostalism that have given its social potential short shrift.RésuméLe présent article s'inscrit dans un corpus de plus en plus important de travaux consacrés aux implications sociales du christianisme pentecôtiste. Il explore l'une des manières dont cette religion façonne la vie relationnelle dans la province du Copperbelt, en Zambie. Par la discussion de la nature changeante de la théologie de la prospérité, l'auteure montre comment le pentecôtisme intègre ses fidèles dans des relations sociales qui s'étendent souvent au‐delà des limites de leur communauté religieuse. Ne voyant pas venir l'abondance promise par les prédicateurs de la doctrine de la prospérité, les pentecôtistes ont dû revoir leur interprétation d'une réussite économique sanctionnée par Dieu. Plus précisément, les définitions locales de la prospérité sont caractérisées non pas par une possession de biens uniforme et individualisée mais plutôt par une progression suivant un gradient de réussite matérielle, par le biais de relations franchissant les différences de situation économique. Cette version remaniée de la théologie de la prospérité sert à intégrer les croyants dans le monde social qui les entoure, en mettant l'accent sur les inégalités matérielles et en encourageant les signes extérieurs de richesse. Chacun de ces aspects du pentecôtisme dans le Copperbelt intègre les fidèles dans des réseaux d'échange qui sont une composante essentielle de la société zambienne urbaine. L'analyse du pentecôtisme réalisée ici commente les études de cette religion axées uniquement sur le rituel, tout en remettant en question les interprétations faisant peu de cas du potentiel social du pentecôtisme.

The author estimates social consequences of the so called «demographic transition* or the problem of «population ageing* in the modern world: to what extent is contemporary society ready for effective utilization of the emerged economical, consumer, and cultural resources of aged and elderly citizens. The process of ageing in Russia differs considerably from that in the developed countries. It is taking place against the background of high mortality rate and population diminution, as well as significant gap between the sexes in the rate of life expectancy (in favor of women), the weakness of retirement welfare system, poverty in Russia expressed not only in economical or financial terms but in primitivism of notions of employers and the authorities on the whole about individuals, their needs, abilities and possibilities. Such notions correspond to earlier stages of socioeconomic development and do not meet the requirements of the present day that have become a norm in the majority of the industrially developed countries. This also concerns all aspects of social, economical and political life in Russia, and requires the attention to be paid to it, and reformulating the objectives of social policy and society, the aims and purposes of executive power, as well as reforming the systems of social welfare and healthcare. Without these steps the strategy of long term development of the country, transition to innovational way remain highly problematic, if at all real. ; The author estimates social consequences of the so called «demographic transition* or the problem of «population ageing* in the modern world: to what extent is contemporary society ready for effective utilization of the emerged economical, consumer, and cultural resources of aged and elderly citizens.

In a world of political upheaval, rising inequality, catastrophic climate change, and widespread doubt of even the most authoritative sources of information, is there a place for critique? This book calls for a systematic reappraisal of critical thinking-its assumptions, its practices, its genealogy, its predicament-following the principle that critique can only start with self-critique.In A Time for Critique, Didier Fassin, Bernard E. Harcourt, and a group of eminent political theorists, anthropologists, sociologists, philosophers, and literary and legal scholars reflect on the multiplying contexts and forms of critical discourses and on the social actors and social movements engaged in them. How can one maintain sufficient distance from the eventful present without doing it an injustice? How can one address contemporary issues without repudiating the intellectual legacies of the past? How can one avoid the disconnection between theory and action? How can critique be both public and collective? These provocative questions are addressed by revisiting the works of Foucault and Arendt, Said and Césaire, Benjamin and Du Bois, but they are also given substance through on-the-ground case studies that treat subaltern criticism in Palestine, emancipatory mobilizations in Syria, the antitorture campaigns of Sri Lankan activists, and the abolitionism of the African American critical resistance and undercommons movements in the United States. Examining lucidly the present challenges of critique, A Time for Critique shows how its theoretical reassessment and its emerging forms can illuminate the imaginative modalities to rejuvenate critical praxis

The article discusses the benefits of organic production in economic, environmental and social aspects. An analysis of the number of Ukrainian manufacturers-operators for the period 2016-2019, statisticaldata on exports, world and European rankings by the area of land occupied by organic matter have beenpresented. Organic production in the world has been studied, the main directions of its development, priorities and problematic aspects have been identified.

By acting in such a way, are they building barriers between the muslim migrant populations and the native population, or rather, are they are trying to find ways and means in order to make the muslims cope with the guest society ?

La educación ciudadana es uno de los temas educativos de mayor actualidad, además de abordar aspectos esenciales de la dimensión personal y social del estudiante, posee puntos de contacto importantes con otras direcciones de la práctica educativa. En este artículo se enfatiza la democracia como cualidad importante de la educación ciudadana que requiere especial atención en su abordaje sociopedagógico. El tema de la educación ciudadana se afronta por diferentes disciplinas científicas, en este caso se acentúa el enfoque pedagógico desde una perspectiva social. El objetivo fundamental de este artículo de reflexión es argumentar los sustentos teóricos sobre esta temática, a través de estudios realizados en diferentes contextos desde el campo de las ciencias sociales, destacando la importancia que adquiere la educación ciudadana en la actualidad, independientemente del nivel educativo en el que se lleve a cabo. Para el cumplimiento del citado objetivo se usaron el método histórico-lógico y análisis-síntesis para valorar los antecedentes del tema abordado y de allí aportar elementos claves para su posible concreción en las instituciones educativas. Abstract. Citizenship education is one of the most relevant topics in education. It comprises key aspects of the student's personal and social behavior, and has significant points of convergence with other areas of the educational practice. Democracy is emphasized in this paper as an important feature of citizenship education, which requires special attention in terms of its socio-educational approach. Citizenship education may be studied from different scientific disciplines; in this case, the pedagogical approach is studied from the social perspective. The main objective of this paper is to discuss the theoretical basis on the subject matter of this project, through studies conducted in different contexts of the social sciences, underlining the importance of citizenship education today, regardless of the educational level in which it is taught. Analysis-synthesis and historicallogical methods were used to assess the background on the subject, obtaining results that could be developed in the educational institutions, in the future.

AbstractPrevious studies show regulation and corporate governance play an important role in affecting CSR processes and outcomes. The stakeholder engagement (SE) process represents a good practice of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and, at the same time, an aspect of substance over form, within the CSR policies. In spite of its relevance, SE represents a little explored field of research. The purpose of this paper is to investigate if the improvements in SE processes are actually driven by regulation rather than by some elements of corporate governance. The study examines the effect of the regulation and some board's characteristics on SE. Specifically, in 2017 the introduction of EU non‐financial information Directive (Directive 2014/95/EU) shifts the disclosure of non‐financial information from the voluntary to the mandatory realm: in this mandatory context, the quality of the SE process that is indirectly disclosed in non‐financial information, could improve. By using a content and statistical analysis, through performing 4 two‐way Analysis of Variance, the study reveals that the effects of the introduction of the Directive 2014/95/EU on the stakeholder engagement process have been limited and the improvements in SE before and after the introduction of the Directive link to the Board of Directors characteristics. These findings are interesting for academics, by enriching the academic debate on mandatory versus voluntary disclosure and the relationship between board attributes and sustainability, for policy makers, by providing suggestions to favour organisational change of the firms, and for managers, by identifying the desirable characteristics of the Board of Directors.

According to the words of the researcher María de la Paloma Escalante Gonzalbo, in his review of the book "The Twilight of the Goddess", Stela Florence Rosemberg and Troy, the text is "a truly scholarly exercise, which will drive us the work of social anthropologists on issues of social structure and organization, reviewing what are the aspects of work, age, gender, from every possible perspective, taking the classic ethnographies and many not so classic and so well known, for comminuting find parallels and divergences are showing us how the organization actually builds itself, the place of each one and the myth that legitimates. societies show us male and female dominance and how it is constructed in each gender, speak of established roles for each gender attributes assigned to them and how they symbolize, and the transit of this training to a political system." ; De acuerdo a las palabras de la investigadora María de la Paloma Escalante Gonzalbo, en su reseña del libro "El ocaso de la diosa", de Florence Rosemberg y Estela Troya, el texto es un "un ejercicio realmente erudito, que nos van conduciendo por los trabajos de los antropólogos sociales en los temas de estructura y organización social, repasando lo que son los aspectos del trabajo, la edad, el sexo, desde cada perspectiva posible, tomando las etnografías clásicas y muchas no tan clásicas ni tan conocidas, desmenuzándolas para encontrar paralelismos y divergencias que nos van mostrando cómo se construye realmente la organización en sí, el lugar de cada uno y el mito que la legitima. Nos muestran sociedades con predominio masculino y femenino y cómo se construye en cada una el género, hablan de los papeles establecidos para cada género, los atributos que se les asignan y la forma en que se simbolizan, así como el tránsito de esta formación a un sistema político".
