Description:
La mondialisation contemporaine se distingue de l'internationalisation des marchés qui s’est produite au cours de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle. Les États dont le poids a fortement augmenté au XXe siècle voient leur capacité d’agir se réduire alors qu’ils conservent leurs responsabilités traditionnelles et en assument de nouvelles. Ces transformations retentissent sur les conceptions du bien commun et les modalités de la régulation de l’économie mondiale.
Globalization nowadays is differing from the internationalization of markets which occurred in the second half of XIX century. The States, who had significantly gained weight during the XXe century, have lost in part their capacity for action, even though they keep their traditional responsibilities and become accountable for new ones. These trends affect our conception of common good and our understanding of the ability of public authorities to inch towards a better management of the world economy.
