• Sommario/riassunto: Le 26 septembre 2014, 43 étudiants de l'école normale rurale Raúl Isidro Burgos, communément appelée Ayotzinapa du nom de la localité où elle se trouve, sont portés disparus suite à une attaque à main armée de la police. Quelques jours après cet acte répressif, les Mexicains descendent en masse dans les rues pour réclamer la réapparition en vie des étudiants et exprimer leur douleur, leur colère et leur envie de changement. Ayotzinapa devient l'emblème du mal-être général de tout un pays. De l'indignation face à la répression à la fatigue émotionnelle après plusieurs mois de mobilisation, en passant par la joie et l'espoir qu'apporte une lutte commune, les manifestants sont traversés par des émotions multiples qu'il est nécessaire d'analyser pour comprendre leur engagement. En s'appuyant sur une étude de terrain de plusieurs mois au cœur du mouvement étudiant de la capitale mexicaine, Margot Achard souligne la complexité et l'importance du rôle des émotions dans la formation, le maintien et la baisse de la mobilisation.

• Sommario/riassunto: This second edition of Introduction to Private Equity is more than an update, it reflects the dramatic changes which have affected an industry which is evolving rapidly, internationalizing and maturing fast. What is recognized as a critical yet grounded guide to the private equity industry blends academic rigour with practical experience. It provides a clear, synthetic and critical perspective of the industry from a professional who has worked at many levels within the industry; including insurance, funds of funds, funds and portfolio companies. The book approaches the private equity sector top-down, to provide a sense of its evolution and how the current situation has been built. It then details the interrelations between investors, funds, fund managers and entrepreneurs. At this point, the perspective shifts to bottom-up, how a private business is valued, how transactions are processed and the due diligence issues to consider before moving ahead. Introduction to Private Equity, Second Edition covers the private equity industry as a whole, putting its recent developments (such as secondary markets, crowdfunding, venture capital in emerging markets) into perspective. The book covers its organization, governance and function, then details the various segments within the industry, including Leveraged Buy-Outs, Venture Capital, Mezzanine Financing, Growth Capital, Distressed Debt, Turn-Around Capital, Funds of Funds and beyond. Finally, it offers a framework to anticipate and understand its future developments. This book provides a balanced perspective on the corporate governance challenges affecting the industry and draws perspectives on the evolution of the sector, following a major crisis.
