    The Brussels Effect, How the EU Rules the World

    The Brussels Effect, How the EU Rules the World
    Anu Bradford, Prof. Columbia Un.

    The phrase, now part of European lore, is the title of a 2020 book that challenges the theories of European decline. A. Bradford argues that the EU, largest trading bloc in the world, is a global regulatory hegemon. EU legal norms using market forces alone prevail in international trade, with a quick take-up by multinational companies. More about how soft power is a winner and warnings for those who would "take back control" alone. The Brussels Effect

    A votre santé … linguistique !!

    A votre santé … linguistique !!
    Christian Tremblay, Observatoire européen du plurilinguisme C. Tremblay a continué à se passionner pour la langue et suivi la floraison des néologismes pendant le confinement. Il retrace la généalogie d’un concept oublié des années 50 (« pôle de développement ») à son émergence en 2000 dans le langage économique anglais (« cluster ») puis sa dissémination à travers les domaines (industriel, informatique… enfin épidémiologique). Cette circulation peut selon lui créer des pertes de mémoire conceptuelle. https://nda.observatoireplurilinguisme.eu/ https://www.observatoireplurilinguisme.eu/dossiers-thematiques/culture-et-industries-culturelles/177778558-les-mots-pour-le-dire

    La Spirale de l’endettement mondial, Yves Gazzo

    La Spirale de l’endettement mondial, Yves Gazzo
    « L'endettement dans le monde, de l'euphorie à l'inquiétude » est une réédition d’un ouvrage de 1989. Trente ans plus tard, la dette mondiale atteint des niveaux sans précédent (240% du PIB mondial fin 2019, plus encore aux Etats unis, en Chine et au Japon). Il existe de bonnes et de mauvaises dettes, au regard des conditions de souscription, de l’objectif poursuivi et de l’évolution du PIB (la « croissance »). Y. Gazzo espère une sortie rapide de la crise sanitaire et une relance massive et solidaire de l’économie en Europe. Ce qui implique de repenser nos cadres de pensée en faveur d’une croissance soutenable et plus structurante en Europe. http://dacres.fr/livre_la_spirale_de_l_endettement.html

    Avec Xavier DUPRET, Economiste

Dupret analyse l’accord commercial avec Mercosur, les justes inquiétudes (concurrence avec les petits producteurs européens) et les inquiétudes injustifiés quant au respect des normes sanitaires et phytosanitaires.
