Sommario/riassunto

Le primat de l’« ici et maintenant » dans la culture japonaise souligné par Katô Shûichi et l’engagement de ce grand intellectuel disparu en 2008 sont ici discutés par Augustin Berque, Julie Brock, Pierre Caye, Maurice Godelier, Edgar Morin, Hidetaka Ishida, Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney,



Cécile Sakai, Hitoshi Sakurai, Moriaki Watanabe.  Philosophie, anthropologie, littérature, cinéma, sont réunis pour questionner ce qui fut une des interrogations majeures de Katô Shûichi tout au long de sa vie de penseur engagé : comment penser la diversité des cultures ?  Rien d’attendu dans les réponses proposées par les auteurs, qu’une table ronde avait rassemblés. L’échange avec le public, qui clôt l’ouvrage, est d’ailleurs à l’image de la liberté, de ton aussi bien que d’esprit, sous laquelle s’étaient placés les différents exposés.  Le Japon en ressort notamment plus proche, moins exotique, mais aussi confronté à des défis communs aux sociétés modernes. La comparaison, enfin, entre des pays et des époques différents, et que Katô Shûichi affectionnait tout particulièrement, démontre une nouvelle fois de l’intérêt du dialogue interculturel.

Sommario/riassunto

This paper proposes a quantitative assessment of the welfare effects arising from the Common Monetary Area (CMA) and an array of broader



grouping among Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries. Model simulations suggest that (i) participating in the CMA benefits all members; (ii) joining the CMA individually is beneficial for all SADC members except Angola, Mauritius and Tanzania; (iii) creating a symmetric CMA-wide monetary union with a regional central bank carries some costs in terms of foregone anti-inflationary credibility; and (iv) SADC-wide symmetric monetary union continues to be beneficial for all except Mauritius, although the gains for existing CMA members are likely to be limited.
