Abstract

Dans cet ouvrage consacré à l'histoire des jésuites dans le continent Nord-américain, l'auteur parcourt cinq siècles de présence ignatienne. Il détaille avec une rare compétence les divers développements, les adaptations permanentes, les échecs, les succès et les enjeux géopolitiques des jésuites dans cette partie du monde. David Collins s'attarde également sur l'action sociale, éducative et pastorale mise en oeuvre par la Compagnie de Jésus, en Amérique du Nord d'abord dès le 16ème siècle, puis plus spécifiquement aux Etats-Unis après la naissance de ceux-ci.

Abstract

This incisive volume of the Elgar Encyclopedia of Environmental Law offers a broad analysis of the foundations, main concepts, and substantive and procedural requirements of selected chemical law regimes as they pertain to the environment. Featuring contributions from more than 40 expert scholars and practitioners in the field, the volume focuses on chemical regulatory systems from representative jurisdictions, including the EU and the US, to provide a coherent overview of this expansive and often fragmented area of law.Divided into five thematic parts, the volume first examines the fundamental concepts of chemical law, addressing topics including risk assessment, nomenclature, environmental justice and animal testing. Entries then discuss types of chemicals and exposures, regulation of chemicals in products and manufacturing, and waste and contamination, as well as covering liability rules as they apply to chemicals.This volume will be an essential resource for scholars and students looking for a clear understanding of chemicals regulation and governance from environmental and public health perspectives at both national and international levels. Its insights into policy developments and liability issues will also be of interest to policymakers and practitioners.

Abstract

This book looks at regulation, policy and implementation of framework agreements, supplier lists and other similar public procurement tools, with a strategic and pragmatic perspective.Whilst procurements of huge volumes and value are performed worldwide through such tools on a daily basis, and despite their complexity and diversity, this topic has rarely been studied in a systematic way. The book fills this major gap. It examines a series of public procurement systems or legal instruments selected to ensure wide coverage - the UNCITRAL Model Law on Public Procurement, the World Bank, the US federal procurement system, EU law, France, Romania, and the UK pre- and post-Brexit.By deconstructing over 20 'clusters' of tools into their key features along a pattern for analysis, the book reconstructs a conceptual framework for purchasing uncertain or indefinite requirements through a transversal perspective across public procurement systems. In this way, the book provides valuable orientation to law and policy makers for improving or reforming this area, to procurement officers in interpreting existing regulation and identifying innovative practical solutions, and to lawyers and the judiciary for a balanced application of the regulation.The book delivers essential material for procurement of uncertain or indefinite requirements.

Abstract

Les articles de John Brinckerhoff Jackson réunis ici reflètent les qualités fondamentales de son regard sur les réalités paysagères contemporaines : sens de la précision, observation des détails révélateurs, attention aux changements plus ou moins perceptibles des paysages et des éléments qui les composent, le tout dans une écriture légère, et parfois incisive. Dans ce livre, Jackson aborde de nombreux thèmes essentiels : l’évolution de l’inter­prétation des paysages et de la notion de « paysage public », l’importance de la grille comme moyen d’organiser l’espace rural et urbain aux États-Unis, ou encore le rôle de la route et du chemin dans la structuration de l’espace. Un ouvrage précieux pour apprendre à déchiffrer ce que nous disent les paysages, à la fois de ­l’histoire géologique longue et du temps court des sociétés humaines.
