Sommario/riassunto

La faillite politique de la SDN ne doit pas faire oublier son action dans bon nombre de domaines techniques, souvent poursuivie après 1945 par des organismes dépendant de l’ONU. Ainsi, dans le domaine de la coopération intellectuelle, l’UNESCO a pris le relais de l’Organisation de Coopération Intellectuelle (OCI), qui a fonctionné de 1922 à 1946 et dont l’élément moteur a été l’Institut International de Coopération Intellectuelle (IICI). Ce dernier, malgré ses défauts - notamment son caractère élitiste - a été un véritable laboratoire de la coopération culturelle en vue de favoriser l’activité des intellectuels et la diffusion d’une conscience universelle et pacifiste. La présente étude retrace l’histoire de l’OCI de 1919 à 1946 et tente d’établir un bilan de l’action de l’IICI tout en rendant compte du fonctionnement d’une organisation internationale dans l’entre-deux-guerres, notamment dans ses



rapports avec les États et en particulier avec la France, qui a été à l’origine de l’IICI et qui l’a hébergé à Paris de 1926 à 1946.

Sommario/riassunto

This volume examines the word that's on everybodys lips in business, in government and in society - sustainability. There are of course many aspects of sustainability which might be considered to reflect Brundtlands three pillars of economic, environmental and social sustainability. Others of course have different definitions which include such things as governance or supply chain management. Nevertheless business has recognised the significance of the concept and is responding by developing strategies to cope, although some would say that this is little more than window dressing. The debate continues however as to just what is meant by the term sustainability as far as business is concerned and how can this be achieved. This book is designed to address this debate and set it within the context of the global business and societal environment.
