A representation of the "windthrow crisis" was gradually built up on the basis of semi-directive interviews of some sixty people. The initial goal of this work was to record management practises during the first four months of the aftermath of the crisis. What appears clearly is that novel measures and styles of intervention were established that yielded rapid solutions but also generated subsequent difficulties due to the complexity of the original situation and lack of knowledge among those partners who were brought in at a later stage. It also demonstrates an astonishing collective will in the face of adversity that has left all the players involved with the impression that together they were able to "cope" during those first four months after the storms. ; Une représentation de la "crise des chablis" a été progressivement construite à partir d'entretiens semi-directifs effectués auprès d'une soixantaine de personnes et destinés essentiellement, au départ, à conserver la mémoire de la gestion des quatre premiers mois suivant la catastrophe. Elle montre bien que la mise en place de mesures et styles d'intervention inédits ont permis des résolutions rapides mais ont aussi entraîné nombre de difficultés ultérieures en raison de la complexité de la situation originelle et d'une certaine méconnaissance de celle-ci par les partenaires impliqués tardivement. Elle met également en évidence une étonnante force de volonté collective dans l'adversité qui a conduit l'ensemble des acteurs à considérer qu'ils avaient su, solidairement et pendant ces quatre premiers mois après les tempêtes, "faire face".
L'article traite des récents changements qui ont affecté l'organisation interne de certains parlements nationaux suite à l'adoption et à la mise en œuvre du « droit de la crise de l'euro » qui regroupe l'ensemble des accords intergouvernementaux et les mesures de droit européen adoptées en réaction à la crise de la zone euro. L'article démontre que le droit européen de la crise – en particulier les accords intergouvernementaux, le Semestre européen et l'Union bancaire – ont consolidé, voire renforcé, l'avantage concurrentiel que les commissions des finances et du budget avaient déjà dans les parlements, tout en conduisant à un renforcement de la coopération entre ces commissions et les commissions des affaires européennes.
The article aims to analyze the European elections held in Bulgaria on 25 of May 2014, the parties and their appeals and performances. The country is among the latest comers in the UE with severe failures in the implementation of the required reforms in the fields of the Rule of Law, fighting corruption and organized crime and reforming the judiciary. The analysis underlines the "second order" character of the 2014 European elections in Bulgaria, held in the context of multiples crisis of different levels. Voters sanctioned severely the parties in government and opened the way to early parliamentary elections.
Volcanic crisis management is a marginal study subject, whatever the research field. The complex nature of volcanic phenomena (multiple hazards, uncertainty of forecast), the lack of conceptual and methodological frameworks to study such crises, the reduced opportunities of experiencing volcanic crises, and the fact that Earth scientists focus on the hazard are all the reasons behind this lack of commitment. The objective of this thesis is to make up for some of these shortcomings by building up information on ways to manage crises. It provides post-crisis analysis about the management of the eruptive crisis of May 2006 at Karthala volcano (Grande Comore), and of April 2007 at the Piton de la Fournaise (La Reunion island). It also contains another analysis about the management of lahars subsequent to the explosive eruptions in 2005 in Grande Comore. These study case on personal experiences of analysed crises, then on investigations undertaken with local authorities, scientist, media and population. They highlight, amongst other things, a blatant lack of resources, information and training of all agents on both islands. The cause for such dysfunctioning factors are looked into. The analysis reveals the importance of human, cultural, political, socioeconomic, and territorial components in responding to crises. Finally, this thesis suggests tools and approaches to improve crisis management on both islands. ; La gestion des crises volcaniques constitue un sujet d'étude marginal, tous les domaines de recherche confondus.

Cette thèse a pour objectif de combler partiellement ces lacunes en capitalisant des analyses sur les modes de gestion des crises. Elle propose ainsi des RETours d'Expérience sur la gestion de crises éruptives survenues en mai 2006 au Karthala (Grande Comore), et en avril 2007 au Piton de la Fournaise (La Réunion). S'y ajoute un RETEX sur la gestion des lahars consécutifs aux éruptions explosives de 2005 en Grande Comore. Ces cas d'étude reposent sur le vécu direct des crises analysées, puis sur un travail d'enquête auprès des autorités, scientifiques, médias et populations. Ils mettent entre autres en évidence un manque caractérisé de moyens, d'information et de formation de l'ensemble des acteurs sur les deux îles. Les causes profondes des facteurs de dysfonctionnement sont ensuite recherchées. L'analyse révèle le poids des composantes humaines, culturelles, politiques, socioéconomiques et territoriales dans les réponses apportées face aux crises. Enfin, cette thèse propose des outils et des approches pour améliorer la gestion des crises sur les deux îles.
Almost a decade has passed since the outbreak of the economic crisis; from its original nucleus, its effects have quickly affected the social and geopolitical fields. Such wide impact and its complex implications make the crisis an object susceptible of multiple readings. The particular aim of the studies collected in this volume is to explore the impact of the crisis on law, culture and society, in order to test the depth of the problem, by comparing the analytical perspectives obtainable from legal and human sciences. The book focuses on three main issues: the crisis as a social object, in order to consider the crisis in terms of its attributing force; the problem of democracy, which is becoming an increasingly central question now, as the changes imposed by the crisis have begun to settle down; the interdisciplinary challenge that, in time of crisis, questions paradigms of knowledge, competences and methods, in order to enable an heuristic dialogue between human, social and legal sciences. ; Introduction / Massimo Meccarelli (pp. 9-12). -- The Crisis as a Social Object : -- Narrating the Crisis: Fictions of Finance in Contemporary British Novels / Silvana Colella (pp. 15-37). -- Social Rights in Crisis: Any Role for the Court of Justice of the EU? / Francesco Costamagna (pp. 39-64). -- Ripensare la nazione ottocentesca.

We challenge the common wisdom that the Great Recession has produced radical changes in political behavior. Accordingly, we assess the extent to which the crisis has spurred protest activities and given socioeconomic issues a higher saliency in public debates. We also assess how far the crisis has provided a more prominent place for economic and labor actors as subject actors, a more prominent place of economic and labor actors as object actors, as well as a more prominent place of economic and labor actors as addressees in claims making on the economic crisis. Our findings show that the crisis has not produced such radical changes in all these aspects, though it had some impact. At a more general level, our analysis unveils the normative underpinnings of the commonly held view that the economic crisis has fed a grievance-based conflict between capital and labor going beyond specific patterns and configurations in each country.

Voting is a sort of black hole in work on political communication in information and communication sciences. As for electoral studies in political science, they provide increasingly precise information about who electors are and the circumstances under which they decide how to vote, but they struggle to enlighten what voters mean by their votes. This paper outlines a fresh approach to voting as a communicational process. In a context of crisis of representation, recent work in ICS encourages the use of "incommunication" to analyse the relationship that forms during political elections between governors and governed. A diversion by way of political anthropology will lead to mention of Eshu (Elegba, Legba), who in Africa forms a synthesis between communication that is inherent in all forms of power and the individual and collective expression of the guardians of power.
The spread of the coronavirus in 2020 and the pandemic declared by the WHO has had several impacts on businesses around the world. Industry, services and even other mining and agricultural activities have been interrupted. This has affected the economy in general and businesses in particular. The government tried to contain the spread of the virus while maintaining business activities. However, some businesses have had to change their way of operating and adapt to the current situation. Different working methods have been introduced, including teleworking, staff rotation, digitalisation of procedures, etc. As a result, employees in all Moroccan companies have been affected. Companies have been able to trace the impact of these changes on the work of their employees. To do this, they started to analyze the performance indicators of their employees to see if there were problems with these changes. In this article, we will try to analyze the context that allows a favourable resistance to change (acceptance of change). We have chosen the banking sector for this purpose because the widespread use of COVID has led to some changes in this sector. We apply structural equation modeling to understand the impact of certain variables on favourable resistance to change. This study was conducted among employees of a Moroccan bank. We were able to collect 99 responses which were used to test the impact of the explanatory variables. The results show that favourable resistance to change during a crisis, in particular the COVID19 crisis we are witnessing today, is determined by employees' perceptions of the benefits of change and flexibility. However, given the insignificant impact of the organisational involvement variable on the variables to be explained, this was not supported in this analysis. The results of this study could help organisations to better adapt to the changes that the current situation in Morocco and, in particular, the global health situation may bring. However, this study should be complemented by a qualitative analysis of managers and change agents to obtain a more detailed understanding of the disruptions caused by the current crisis. JEL Classification : M12 Paper type: Empirical research ; La propagation du coronavirus en 2020 et la pandémie déclarée par l'OMS ont eu plusieurs impacts sur les entreprises du monde entier. L'industrie, les services et même d'autres activités minières et agricoles ont été interrompus. Cela a affecté l'économie en général et les entreprises en particulier. Les pouvoirs publics ont tenté de contenir la propagation du virus tout en maintenant les activités commerciales. Pourtant, certaines entreprises ont dû changer leur mode de fonctionnement et s'adapter à la situation actuelle. Différentes méthodes de travail ont été introduites, notamment le télétravail, la rotation du personnel, la digitalisation des procédures, etc. Par conséquent, les employés de toutes les entreprises marocaines ont été touchés. Des entreprises ont pu retracer l'impact de ces changements sur le travail de leurs employés. Pour cela, elles ont commencé à analyser les indicateurs de performance de leurs employés pour voir si ces changements posaient des problèmes. Dans cet article, nous allons essayer d'analyser le contexte qui permet une résistance favorable au changement (acceptation du changement). Nous avons choisi le secteur bancaire à cette fin, car l'utilisation généralisée de COVID a conduit à certains changements dans ce secteur. Nous appliquons une modélisation par équations structurelles pour comprendre l'impact de certaines variables sur la résistance favorable au changement. Cette étude a été réalisée auprès des employés d'une banque marocaine. Nous avons pu recueillir 99 réponses qui ont été utilisées pour tester l'impact des variables explicatives. Les résultats montrent qu'une résistance favorable au changement pendant une crise, en particulier la crise COVID19 à laquelle nous assistons aujourd'hui, est déterminée par les perceptions des avantages du changement et de la flexibilité des employés. Cependant, étant donné l'impact non significatif de la variable d'implication organisationnelle sur les variables à expliquer, ceci n'a pas été soutenu dans cette analyse. Les résultats de cette étude pourraient aider les organisations à mieux s'adapter aux changements que pourrait entraîner la situation actuelle au Maroc et, en particulier, la situation sanitaire mondiale. Toutefois, cette étude devrait être complétée par une analyse qualitative des responsables et des agents de changement afin d'obtenir une compréhension plus détaillée des perturbations causées par la crise actuelle Classification JEL: M12 Type de l'article: Recherche appliquée
this article looks at the 1825 crisis affecting the English economy and the work of John Stuart Mill, Thomas Tooke and John Ramsay McCulloch devoted to his analysis. As McCulloch explained, Mill and Tooke deviated from the ricardian tradition, and probably more than it. McCulloch and Tooke argue that the organisation of the English banking system has played a remarkable role, if not at least in the development of the crisis. Mill, on the contrary, believes that the crisis is the effect of dangerous speculation and that it would have developed equally well in a system where currency would have consisted of cash. He puts forward ideas that will be taken up and developed by the Banking School. ; International audience This article studies the crisis which, in 1825, affected the English economy and the works that John Stuart Mill, Thomas Tooke and John Ramsay McCulloch dedicated to his analysis. While McCulloch refers, for explaining it, to the ricardian tradition, Mill and Tooke deviates from it and doubtless the former more than the latter. McCulloch and Tooke maintain that the organization of the English banking system played, if not in the origin at least in the development of the crisis, a remarkable role. Mill, on the contrary, thinks that the crisis is the effect of over-trading and that it would have developed as well in a system where the currency would have consisted in species. He advances ideas which will be taken back and developed by the Banking School. ; this article looks at the 1825 crisis affecting the English economy and the work of John Stuart Mill, Thomas Tooke and John Ramsay McCulloch devoted to his analysis.

Theories presented, Astley and Fombrun 1983; Moore, 1993; Iansiti and Levien, 2004; Peltoniemi and Vuori (2004) allow us to clearly describe the new context of strategic decision-making within which the business ecosystem is evolving. This analysis has profound effects on the type of collaboration. Recent studies generally do not address how different types of strategies are influenced by the various contexts of foreign policy change. From this perspective, the political environment is seen as a complicated issue for multinational companies. Therefore, not examining them can have irreparable damage and recent studies overlook this importance. Our research fills, in part, these gaps by studying types of collective strategy and includes reflection on foreign policy.According to the analysis of the PSA database, this research illustrated the strategy of alliance with partners in the form of a "joint venture" in order to reduce the unforeseeable risk. In addition, we discovered the role of two types of collective strategy (alliance-coopetition) that can help the understanding and performance of ecosystems.The analyzes carried out during our work allow us to underline that understanding the change in the political environment plays an important role in the choice of collective strategy. ; Les théories présentées, Astley et Fombrun 1983 ; Moore, 1993 ; Iansiti et Levien, 2004 ; Peltoniemi et Vuori (2004) nous permettent de décrire clairement le nouveau contexte de la prise de décision stratégique au sein duquel évolue l'écosystème d'affaires.Cette analyse a de profonds effets sur le type de collaboration. Les études récentes ne traitent généralement pas de la manière dont les différents types de stratégies sont influencés par les divers contextes de changement de la politique étrangère. Dans cette perspective, l'environnement politique est considéré comme une question compliquée pour les entreprises multinationales. Par conséquent, ne pas les examiner peut avoir des dommages irréparables et les études récentes ...
