D’un côté, tout doit circuler : les marchandises, les capitaux, les informations. De l’autre, il faudrait que rien ne bouge, que chacun reste chez soi, que les identités collectives se maintiennent, que les frontières anciennes se reconstituent. Double mouvement contradictoire qui agite le monde, accroît la richesse des uns et la précarité de l’existence des autres, fabrique de nouvelles manières de vivre et d’autres raisons de mourir. A partir du concept d'anti-société, ce Cahier s'interroge sur la double dérive qui guette aussi bien la mondialisation que les replis identitaires, par laquelle des groupements humains substituent les rencontres avec l'autre en privilégiant le virtuel comme lieu de communication social...

Les mouvements anti-mondialisation ont fait irruption sur la scène internationale. La polémique fait rage sur le rôle des ONG qui dérangent les pouvoirs en place. L'auteur replace les mouvements anti-mondialisation dans le contexte plus large de l'émergence de la société civile sur le plan international et de la construction d'une démocratie sans frontières. Il explique les raisons profondes de la contestation, décrypte ses messages parfois contradictoires, analyse aussi ses faiblesses et s'interroge sur ses méthodes.

Addressing a previously ignored area, this text analyses two converging factors: globalisation and Korean foreign direct investment policy. It looks at the emergence of the Korean government's globalisation objectives, and at the response of the chaebol, the business groups that brought about their country's rapid industrialisation. The chapters reveal a complex story with political as well as economic dimensions. They also note the impact of the 1997 crisis, and the growing importance of inward investment. The book, therefore, covers developments in Korean economic policy from the Chun-Roh regime to the Kim Dae-Joong era.

This book considers de-marginalization attesting that marginal regions have the potential for de-marginalization and are anchored in developmental terms on the following core themes: nature; tourism; ethnicity and general factors including migration. Adding to the discussion on marginality and sustainability this book contributes a number of case studies on a diverse selection of topics and regions in which these crucial issues connect. It delivers a reflection of (de)marginalizing processes in today’s globalized world where an increasing number of people, groups, societies and regions are marginalized and vulnerable not only from social and economic factors, but also from natural causes such as natural hazards. This book addresses the unsustainable practices in the past that have often generated difficult conditions for sustainable development in the future. Marginal regions that have not been developed are given much needed consideration as they may now enjoy the benefits of having not been exploited in the past to their present-day developmental advantage. The overview offered by this book is significant in that marginal regions with relatively unspoiled and attractive natural (and cultural) landscapes have a great potential for sustainable tourism. Contributions include the (de)marginalization of ethnic groups, the role of education and migration in the process, and different economic and political perspectives. Considering the topics covered, the book should be appreciated by all those involved in creation of social policies, urban and regional planning – coordinating economic with spatial and social development and by those studying in the fields were competencies for such activities are important part of the study program.
