Cet article détaille un processus participatif mis en place sur le bassin versant de la Drôme pour préparer, avec les citoyens, la révision du Schéma d’Aménagement et de Gestion des Eaux. Spécifiquement, des citoyens ont été associés précocement pour choisir et organiser leur propre processus participatif. Cette co-ingénierie les a sensibilisés à l’importance de ces décisions, a initié des apprentissages sociaux et posé les conditions d’une régulation efficiente. Elle a clarifié les liens entre la participation et la gouvernance institutionnelle. Mais l’exercice apparaît abstrait aux participants. Il requiert des règles de participation claires et une initiation aux enjeux et au vocabulaire de la participation. En conclusion, nous suggérons des adaptations de la co-ingénierie de la participation en fonction des attentes et moyens disponibles.

From the time of its incorporation in 1892, Sudbury, located at the junction of Nolins and Junction Creeks, was subject to the fortunes of life on the waterfront. These small creeks could not be ignored by the rapidly growing city. The purpose of the study was to determine the many challenges posed by the creeks over the seasons, based on citizen complaints and municipal responses reported in City Council minutes and Sudbury's main daily newspaper. The creeks were quickly associated with real‐life problems and their transformation was initiated at the end of the 19 th century. However, a dialogue was established between citizens and the City, with the participation of newspapers. This led to an understanding, through trial and error, of practical changes that would make it possible to live on the waterfront while reducing the negative impacts associated with it. A serious flood in 1937, however, led instead to the implementation of the Creek Improvement Plan. The creeks, which were severely degraded and had been assimilated into the urban infrastructure, were radically transformed until they were covered up in the downtown area. No longer part of the landscape, they are, however, a complex legacy to the next generation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cette contribution entend mettre en évidence les enjeux linguistiques au fil de l’histoire de la Belgique et en circonscrire certaines perspectives. Elle démontre que l’usage des langues conçue au service du citoyen lors de l’indépendance du pays, est devenu, à l’aube des 200 ans de l’existence de la Belgique (2031), un instrument de conflit davantage qu’instrument de régulation sociale.

Ce texte est le compte-rendu d’un Café de bioéthique en juin 2019 portant sur la protection des renseignements génétiques et la propriété de ces données, mais également sur l’impact des tests génétiques offert au public. Des sujets tels que la vie privée, l’appartenance des renseignements génétiques, leurs utilités ou encore les bénéfices et risques des tests génétiques ont été abordés et traités selon des points de vue divers sous l’angle de l’éthique.

Ce compte-rendu synthétise les échanges tenus lors du 3ème Café de bioéthique de 2019 à Québec, qui ont porté sur le thème : « Le citoyen comme acteur de santé publique : défis et opportunités ». Trois panélistes – Yan Kestens, Allison Marchildon et Karine Lefeuvre – ont enrichi cette rencontre de leur expertise en santé publique et en éthique. Cet échange a fait ressortir la valeur de la participation citoyenne en santé publique et l’importance d’en nuancer sa compréhension et sa mise en application. Il est prioritaire de considérer les relations entre les différentes parties prenantes, les facteurs contextuels pouvant affecter ce processus et les stratégies éthiques permettant de renforcir de « bonnes » participations citoyennes. Cette rencontre s’inscrit dans une série de Cafés de bioéthique tenus à Montréal et à Québec sur le sujet de l’éthique, de la santé et des données.

This review summarizes the discussions held during the 3rd Bioethics Café in 2019, which focused on the theme: "The citizen as public health actor: challenges and opportunities". Three panelists - Yan Kestens, Allison Marchildon and Karine Lefeuvre - enriched this meeting with their expertise in public health and ethics. This exchange highlighted the value of citizen participation in public health and the importance of nuancing its understanding and application. It is a priority to consider the relationships between the various stakeholders, the contextual factors that can affect this process and the ethical strategies that can be used to strengthen "good" citizen participation. This meeting was part of a series of Bioethics Cafés held in Montreal and Quebec City on the subject of ethics, health and data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This text is a review of a Bioethics Café in June 2019 that focused on the protection of genetic information and the ownership of such data, but also on the impact of genetic tests offered to the public. Topics such as privacy, the ownership of genetic information, its uses and the benefits and risks of genetic testing were addressed and treated from a variety of ethical perspectives.

The territorial management cannot be reduced to a public policy, but it should be a concerted action, approved by all the actors to ease the tensions, to consolidate the democratic system and to regain the confidence of the citizens. Furthermore the dialogue and the participation represent a partial answer to the new methodological difficulties introduced by the territorial management, as they aim to reduce the disparities in power, to correct the asymmetries of information and communication and to involve effectively the actors in the decision processes. Local Agenda 21, through its strategic dimension, is a framework favorable to a real dialogue between the local actors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recent discussions on corporate citizenship (CC) highlight the new political role of corporations in society by arguing that corporations increasingly act as quasi-governmental actors and take on what hitherto had originally been governmental tasks. By examining political and sociological citizenship theories, the authors show that such a corporate engagement can be explained by a changing (self-)conception of corporate citizens from corporate bourgeois to corporate citoyen. As an intermediate actor in society, the corporate citoyen assumes co-responsibilities for social and civic affairs and actively collaborates with fellow citizens beyond governmental regulation. This change raises the question of how such corporate civic engagement can be aligned with public policy regulations and how corporate activities can be integrated into the democratic regime. To clarify the mode of CC contributions to society, the authors will apply the tenet of subsidiarity as a governing principle which allows for specifying corporations’ tasks as intermediate actors in society. By referring to the renewed European Union strategy for Corporate Social Responsibility, the authors show how such a subsidiary corporate-governmental task-sharing can be organized.

The principle of transparency is something of an oddity in EU law. Indeed, some doubt that there is one general principle of transparency. The importance of transparency within the EU can be established beyond a doubt, and it is prevalent in numerous fields of EU law, but the obligations that are derived therefrom vary wildly. This makes it hard to get a good grasp of what the principle requires. It is possible to bring some system into this chaos, though. The author identifies two mechanisms by which transparency brings about the many positive consequences that have been attributed to it and combines them with the normative frameworks that guide the relation between public authorities and EU citizens into six categories of transparency obligations. Each of these categories has a distinct goal, and suggests a different answer to the questions one is faced with when confronted with a demand to be ‘transparent.’

L'atelier citoyen Dem'eau, mis en œuvre à Nantes Métropole, avait pour but d'instaurer une interaction entre experts, élus, associations et citoyens les plus divers possibles sur le thème du service public de l'eau. Bien que la plupart de ces groupes aient de nombreux doutes et a priori au sujet de l'efficacité de ce projet, il a permis de mettre en lumière les rapports entre les différents acteurs de la gestion locale et, ainsi, des possibilités d'amélioration de ceux-ci pour l'avenir.

Based on the extended conceptualization of corporate citizenship, as provided by Matten and Crane (Acad Manag Rev 30(1):166-179, ), this paper examines the new role of corporations in society. Taking the ideas of Matten and Crane one step further, we argue that the status of corporations as citizens is not solely defined by their factual engagement in the provision of citizenship rights to others. By analysing political and sociological citizenship theories, we show that such engagement is more adequately explained by a change in the self-conception of corporate citizens from corporate bourgeois to corporate citoyens. While the corporate bourgeois acts primarily for private business purposes, the corporate citoyen engages in society, performing civil and political rights and duties. As an intermediate actor in society, shaped by the principle of subsidiary task-sharing, the corporate citoyen undertakes co-responsibility for social and civic affairs and actively collaborates with fellow citizens below, beside and beyond governmental regulation.

In every legal system, consumer law indicates problems that it is supposed to solve: imbalance, unfairness and unconscionability. It raises important questions about a legal system's pre-existing ability to deal with those problems. In a way, consumer law's very presence in a legal system judges that system. When considering consumer law as a part of the system, an opposition arises between two kinds of discourse. First, there is a discourse, which constructs consumer law as a legal entity apart from the others, sometimes leftist, founded on a defense of social justice or on market regulation. From this angle, consumer law might easily appear to be subversive. Second, there is a discourse, which results from the effort to accommodate consumer law within the legal tradition's general private law. Under this discourse, rather than disrupting the core private law, consumer law is integrated into it. A gap may thus be noticeable between the initial intentions that sustain consumer law and the effects it produces. The author's claim in this paper is that this gap, which generates ambivalence about consumer law, results from western legal systems' main way of formalizing law in the contemporary era by writing.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze, from the observation of a local festival, the multiple challenges of rebuilding the bonds of belonging to the rural population , who are engaged from due to their recent urbanization in a process of restructuring and renegotiation of these links and their corresponding representations. The conflicts that have accompanied and currently accompany the process described are sometimes expressed in terms of community identity struggles, mobilizing rural , while the issue is largely about access and membership in small urban space training.

Ce text discute la relation quotidienne du citoyen avec le cité et 1'influence de 1'école et de 1'enseignement de la Géographie dans cette relation. II s'agit d'analyser Ies possibilités du plein exercice du droit du citoyen à la cité contemporaine, au milieu de la formation d'une citoyenneté consciente et active.

Le but de cet article consiste en suivre un parcour de compréhension des idées regi par la complexité de 1'ouvre de Milton Santos, partfculièrement dans le livre La nature de L'Espace. De cette façon, dês le début, 1'axe principal est la prise en c nnsidération de la puissance méthodologique de ce travail. Le mouvement de décryptage des thémes géographiques, de leur enchevitrement, vent que les fondements philosophiques soient soulignés ainsi que la rencontre de la conception de totalité, qui donne leur signification. Ignorer ce mouvement peut consolider un processus de vulgarisation de son analyse, avec des conséquences concernant le sens des possibilités et de Faction rénovatrice qui leur sont décisives
