Sommario/riassunto

Beaucoup a été dit sur l’offensive économique du « grand tournant néolibéral » et ses conséquences sur le système de protection sociale : réduction des sécurités, retour de la vulnérabilité sociale… On a beaucoup moins souligné ce que l’on peut appréhender comme l’autre face de ce phénomène : l’irruption dans le champ des politiques sociales de la philosophie des droits de l’homme dont la notion centrale de dignité est en passe de devenir le nouveau référentiel. Elle est au principe des changements qui affectent l’état social sous les coups de l’économisme ambiant. La visée organisatrice de la société, l’ambition d’une émancipation individuelle et collective qu’il portait, laissent place à une visée correctrice des « défaillances » du marché. Sa source de légitimité est désormais moins puisée dans un projet politique de « faire société » que dans une volonté affichée, revendiquée d’attribuer des droits à des individus qui paraissent de plus en plus affranchis des exigences du collectif. Telle semble être la



mutation majeure qu’a connue l’état social depuis les trois dernières décennies. Le présent ouvrage entend prendre la mesure de ces mutations à partir des transformations du droit du travail dans ses deux fonctions, celle de codification des relations professionnelles et celle de facilitation d’accès au marché du travail via les politiques de l’emploi. Au-delà, c’est à une réflexion sur la place du droit dans notre société, sur ses usages politiques et sociaux, que l’auteur nous convie.

Sommario/riassunto

We study the effects of a bank's engagement in trading. Traditional banking is relationship-based: not scalable, long-term oriented, with high implicit capital, and low risk (thanks to the law of large numbers).



Trading is transactions-based: scalable, shortterm, capital constrained, and with the ability to generate risk from concentrated positions. When a bank engages in trading, it can use its ‘spare’ capital to profitablity expand the scale of trading. However, there are two inefficiencies. A bank may allocate too much capital to trading ex-post, compromising the incentives to build relationships ex-ante. And a bank may use trading for risk-shifting. Financial development augments the scalability of trading, which initially benefits conglomeration, but beyond some point inefficiencies dominate. The deepending of the financial markets in recent decades leads trading in banks to become increasingly risky, so that problems in managing and regulating trading in banks will persist for the foreseeable future. The analysis has implications for capital regulation, subsidiarization, and scope and scale restrictions in banking.

Sommario/riassunto

Rivalries are a fundamental aspect of all international interactions. The concept of rivalry suggests that historic animosity may be the most fundamental variable in explaining and understanding why states commit international violence against each other. By understanding the historic factors behind the emergence of rivalry, the strategies employed by states to deal with potential threats, and the issues endemic to enemies, this book seeks to understand and predict why states become rivals. The recent increase in the quantitative study of rivalry has largely identified who the rivals are, but not how they form and escalate. Questions about the escalation of rivalry are important if we are to understand the nature of conflictual interactions. This book addresses an important research gap in the field by directly tackling the question of rivalry formation. In addition to making new contributions to the literature, this book will summarize a cohesive model of how all interstate rivalries form by using both quantitative and qualitative methods and sources.
