La mondialisation et la montée de la nouvelle économie posent un défi aux acteurs de la société civile. Comment résister aux vagues de suppression d'emplois ou aux réorganisations sectorielles? Comment assurer le développement ou la survie de sa région malgré les fortes turbulences provoquées par l'apparition, la disparition et le réaménagement de pans entiers de l'économie?

Forests are receiving increasing attention from public authorities and civil society. They provide raw materials and valuable reserves of biodiversity. They also have recreational and ecosystem functions. The law is also evolving and facing the same societal, environmental, economic and health challenges. This book analyses the reciprocal influences between law and forests. It examines the capacity of the law to support forest development by providing appropriate instruments, both existing and yet to be invented. Understanding the forest in a different way would in turn help to rethink the law and the power relationships it organises, and to review its methods and concepts. The law provides current and potential tools to best meet the specific needs of each forest and the aspirations of its stakeholders. It also identifies common principles to provide solutions to the problems facing societies and states. A universal framework then makes possible localised rights adapted to the specific characteristics of each forest. This book is an invitation to take a legal journey to the heart of the forest in order to (re)visit the law applicable to it, understand it and help it evolve. It takes the liberty of making excursions abroad or immersing itself in other disciplines in order to find good practices and original ideas, or even to provoke them.

Dem enzyklopädischen Zuschnitt von Entwicklungssoziologie entsprechend bietet der Band Perspektiven auf zentrale Fragen gesellschaftlicher Prozesse. Diese umfassen die Gestaltung des Alltags, Beziehungen zwischen Generationen in unterschiedlichen Gesellschaften, aber auch feinkörnige komparative Analysen zu Gewaltprozessen sowie die Bedeutung von Urbanisierungsprozessen für Vorstellungen von Freiheit. Fragen der Sozialstruktur wie insbesondere die Debatte um afrikanische "Mittelschichten" und die Bedeutung von Märkten zur Kontrolle ökologischer Veränderungen werden ebenso behandelt. Neben Fallbeispielen aus Afrika, Südostasien und Europa werden auch Grundfragen der Soziologie angesprochen. Mit Beiträgen von Erdmute Alber, Artur Bogner, Antje Daniel, Mamadou Diawara, Gerhard Hauck, Reinhart Kößler, Rüdiger Korff, Roman Loimeier, Henning Melber, Matthias Neef, Matthew Sabbi, Rachel Spronk, Florian Stoll, Alexander Stroh-Steckelberg

Since the end of the 20th century, associations and cooperatives have been perceived by a growing part of the population as actors capable of dealing with societal problems and responding to the aspirations of inhabitants. Civil society, public authorities, universities and the media saw them as an essential foundation for the necessary renewal of economic life. This trend has placed the social economy in a unique position to face three essential challenges: the political challenge, which has invited it to move from solving social problems to drawing up a development policy; the technological challenge, which has led it to manage the new working conditions and the new forms of social interaction induced by the development of new technologies; and finally, the environmental challenge, which encourages it to become an economy that is not only social but also ecological, able to develop without increasing its impact on the environment. Depuis la fin du 20e siècle, les associations et les coopératives sont perçues par une frange croissante de la population comme des acteurs susceptibles de faire face aux problèmes sociétaux et de répondre aux aspirations des habitants. La société civile, les collectivités publiques, les universités, les médias voient en elles un fondement incontournable de la nécessaire rénovation de la vie économique. Cette promotion a placé l'économie sociale et solidaire (ESS) de façon singulière face à trois défis essentiels: le défi politique, qui l'a invitée à passer de la résolution des problèmes sociaux à la conception d'une politique de développement; le défi technologique, qui l'a amenée à gérer le nouveau rapport au travail et les nouvelles sociabilités induits par l'essor des nouvelles technologies; le défi environnemental enfin, qui l'incite à devenir une économie non seulement sociale mais aussi écologique, capable de se développer sans accroître son impact sur l'environnement.
