John Roemer points out that there are two views of equality of opportunity that are widely held today. The first, which he calls the nondiscrimination principle, states that in the competition for positions in society, individuals should be judged only on attributes relevant to the performance of the duties of the position in question. Attributes such as race or sex should not be taken into account. The second states that society should do what it can to level the playing field among persons who compete for positions, especially during their formative years, so that all those who have the relevant potential attributes can be considered.Common to both positions is that at some point the principle of equal opportunity holds individuals accountable for achievements of particular objectives, whether they be education, employment, health, or income. Roemer argues that there is consequently a "before" and an "after" in the notion of equality of opportunity: before the competition starts, opportunities must be equalized, by social intervention if need be; but after it begins, individuals are on their own. The different views of equal opportunity should be judged according to where they place the starting gate which separates "before" from "after." Roemer works out in a precise way how to determine the location of the starting gate in the different views.

L'éthique du care, développée par la psychologue Carol Gilligan, permet de renouveler la question éthique du lien social. Elle a marqué un tournant dans l' Amérique des années 1980, au sein des champs universitaire et politique comme dans le monde professionnel. C. Gilligan invite à prendre en compte la manière dont les individus se préoccupent et s' occupent à la fois d' eux-mêmes et des autres. Elle offre une conception éthique qui n' est limitée ni à l' impartialité, ni à des principes abstraits de justice. Féministe, le care articule également l' éthique et le politique, au-delà des questions de genre, en ébranlant la dévalorisation traditionnelle des activités sociales tournées vers le soin. C' est ainsi à une meilleure prise en compte de la texture morale des relations humaines que nous invite l' éthique du care.

Jamais le monde n'a paru si totalement unifié (par les communications, le commerce, la culture) et aussi sauvagement déchiré (par la guerre, la crise financière, le réchauffement de la planète, la diffusion de pandémies) qu'aujourd'hui. Quels que soient nos efforts intellectuels face aux défis d'une mondialisation accélérée, nous ne sommes pas à la hauteur : l'espèce humaine semble incapable de concentrer vraiment ses ressources mentales collectives pour «penser globalement et agir localement». Dans son livre, l'auteur montre que cette déconnexion entre notre vision pour la planète et notre aptitude à la concrétiser s'explique par l'état actuel de la conscience humaine. Nos cerveaux, nos structures mentales, nous prédisposent à une façon de ressentir, de penser et d'agir dans le monde qui n'est plus adaptée aux nouveaux contextes que nous nous sommes créés."

Serious scholarly analyses of the types and roles of accountability in health care first appeared in the late 1980s. That issue, along with the related issue of responsibility in health care, has continued to interest policymakers, analysts and scholars ever since. Indeed, there has been a renewed surge of interest in recent years, with growing attention to the notion of accountable care organizations in the US, clinical audits in the UK, and governance as stewardship in many other countries. Accountability and responsibility in health care was also the theme of a major international conferenc

Faced with budget problems and an aging population, European governments in recent years have begun reconsidering the structure and extent of the welfare state. Guarantees and directives have given way to responsibilities and choice. This volume analyzes the effect of this change on the citizens of Germany, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands, France, Italy and the United Kingdom. It traces the emergence of new discourses around social movements for greater independence, power, and control, and the way these discourses serve to reframe the struggle at hand. Making use of ethnographic research and policy analysis, the authors analyze the cultural transition, tensions, and trajectory of this call toward active citizenship.

"Que signifierait, dans la société contemporaine, prendre au sérieux, comme faisant partie de notre définition d'une société bonne, les valeurs du care – prévenance, responsabilité, attention éducative, compassion, attention aux besoins des autres – traditionnellement associées aux femmes et traditionnellement exclues de toute considération publique ?". Telle est la question que pose la théoricienne féministe Joan Tronto dans ce livre majeur qui a largement contribué à renouveler le champ de la philosophie politique dans le monde anglo-saxon. Le care a longtemps été compris comme une qualité féminine moralement positive. La " moralité des femmes " est même apparue à certains comme une stratégie convaincante pour provoquer le changement politique. Or les femmes restent encore largement exclues du pouvoir. Pour sortir de cette impasse théorique et politique, affirme Joan Tronto, il faut cesser d'associer le care à la " moralité des femmes ", comme le fait encore Carol Gilligan dans Une voix différente. Il s'agit plutôt de présenter une défense politique de l'éthique du care, défini comme " une activité générique qui comprend tout ce que nous faisons pour maintenir, perpétuer et réparer notre "monde', de sorte que nous puissions y vivre aussi bien que possible ". Tronto considère qu'à condition de déplacer les frontières entre morale et politique, raison et monde des sentiments et entre vie publique et sphère privée, le care peut apparaître comme un concept politique utile, susceptible de nous aider à repenser la coopération démocratique d'êtres qui sont tous fondamentalement vulnérables, comme l'est aussi leur monde commun.

Nestled in the Himalayan foothills of Northeast India, Darjeeling is synonymous with some of the finest and most expensive tea in the world. It is also home to a violent movement for regional autonomy that, like the tea industry, dates back to the days of colonial rule. In this nuanced ethnography, Sarah Besky narrates the lives of tea workers in Darjeeling. She explores how notions of fairness, value, and justice shifted with the rise of fair-trade practices and postcolonial separatist politics in the region. This is the first book to explore how fair-trade operates in the context of large-scale plantations. Readers in a variety of disciplines-anthropology, sociology, geography, environmental studies, and food studies-will gain a critical perspective on how plantation life is changing as Darjeeling struggles to reinvent its signature commodity for twenty-first-century consumers. The Darjeeling Distinction challenges fair-trade policy and practice, exposing how trade initiatives often fail to consider the larger environmental, historical, and sociopolitical forces that shape the lives of the people they intended to support.
