Sommario/riassunto

This volume provides a history of the domination of the Big Four in the Chinese accounting industry, explaining why China was unable to keep the market for its own accounting firms. The book details how easy access to U.S. capital markets led to major accounting scandals, and a clash between U.S. and Chinese regulators.

Sommario/riassunto

La Bolivie est le pays d'Amérique latine qui a connu les périodes les plus longues d'instabilité politique et sociale depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Afin d'expliquer les raisons de cette instabilité, Jean-Pierre Lavaud analyse avec finesse la mobilisation des groupes sociaux qui, d'une manière plus ou moins directe et déterminante, influencent le jeu politique national et concourent aux changements gouvernementaux : la classe politique, tant civile que militaire, les gestionnaires du travail collectif, mais aussi les mineurs et les paysans.  À cette concurrence nationale pour le pouvoir, il faut ajouter celle d'agences étrangères, principalement nord-américaines. Au terme de l'analyse, il apparaît que des secteurs importants de la société civile se trouvent être si dépendants de l'Etat qu'il est vital pour eux de les contrôler : les luttes croisées qui en résultent entretiennent l'instabilité... Au-delà du cas bolivien, c'est un remarquable modèle d'explication du phénomène d'instabilité politique de l'Amérique latine que nous propose ici Jean-Pierre Lavaud.
