The issue of universal and free access to treatment is a fundamental goal of the international community. Based on data and field studies from Brazil, Thailand, India and Sub-Saharan Africa under the aegis of ANRS (the French national agency for research on Aids and viral hepatitis, this book assesses the progress made in achieving this objective

Na ruptura social fordista, o desemprego cresce bruscamente, fazendo surgir configurações variáveis, onde o conceito de pressão salarial passa a designar o complemento monetário indireto, destinado a assegurar a reprodução intergeneracional nas sociedades capitalistas plenamente desenvolvidas. A nova relação salarial compreende a relação de emprego (relação monetária direta) e a pressão salarial (relação monetária indireta). O aparecimento de relações de trabalho precárias força a pressão salarial a substituir a proteção social em decadência. Dosarranjos em formação, impor-se-ão os que encontrarem uma coerência sistêmica mínima. O poder público agirá como regulador da relação salarial e garantidor último da pressão salarial, respeitando a flexibilidade do aparelho produtivo e a mobilidade e flexibilidade do trabalho. O autor traça trajetórias nacionais baseados em 2 cenários estilizados, que são a variante americana (modelo típico da desregulamentação e flexibilidade externa) e a variante européia (modelo típico da gestão institucionalizada e flexibilidade interna).

The paper is devoted to an analysis of the Treaty on Stability Coordination and Governance (TSCG), also known as the "Fiscal Compact" Treaty signed between the EU member states in 2012. We argue than the TSCG, instead of helping to "repair" the institutional failures on which the Euro and the Eurozone are built, strengthens them and further weakens the construction on which the European member states operate. In this sense, the Treaty explains why the crisis in Europe is so deep and persistent, and why the member states of the Eurozone are having such difficulty in returning to a path of balance and growth. After defining the "core" of the Treaty more precisely, by describing the nature and significance of the new rules it has introduced in more detail, we explain why these rules create supplementary obstacles in the road to recovery.

The aim of this article is to assess the present attempts to reorganise the assembly-line on a new basis. Some case-studies from the automobile industry (Régie Renault) are first introduced and enhance the thesis that the new assembly-line is at the base of a new ' economy ' of both production time and control. This allows the reproduction of the essential mechanisms of large-scale production of standardised commodities (main pillar of modern mass-production) while, at the same time allowing their adaptation to the actual features of the labour market and of the worker's struggle.

Les coopératives et autres entreprises de l'ESS, définies comme outils d'innovation sociale, sont bousculées. Certains considèrent que, victimes de leurs succès économiques, l'accroissement de leur taille les rend moins à l'écoute de leurs membres, et donc moins à même de satisfaire leurs besoins. La question de la démutualisation souligne la perte de contrôle par les membres propriétaires et une dilution des coopératives dans les autres formes classiques d'entreprise.

This article critically examines the concepts of the commons and the public domain as developed in the literature on law and economics, and in the legal literature on intellectual property. It aims to accomplish two things: reviewing the literature laying out diverse meanings associated with these terms and reintroducing them into radical political economy. The study of the commons and the public domain have long been neglected in the area of radical political economy, and the way these concepts have been developed in the literature reviewed is only marginally relevant to problems and methods of political economy. This article argues for a reassessment and redefinition of the commons and the public domain from the standpoint of radical political economy, and proposes a research agenda for the commons.
