Si ce numéro ne comporte pas de dossier, un fil conducteur traverse ces varias : la Revue de la régulation y renoue avec quelques grandes discussions et thématiques au cœur de la théorie de la régulation. C’est notamment le cas des thèmes structurants de la valeur et du développement durable, mais aussi du dialogue avec des courants ou auteurs proches. A lire notamment, la note de lecture de lecture de Thomas Lamarche sur Limits of Regulation  de S. Mavroudeas, qui revient entre autres sur les relations entre théories de la régulation et schèmes d'analyses marxistes,  ainsi que la note de Richard Sobel sur le passionnant Etat social Pour sortir du chaos néolibéral, de Christophe Rameaux  (pour qui « L’État social n’englobe pas toutes les politiques à visée sociale. Qui dit social ne dit pas nécessairement public. Le social relève aussi d’initiatives privées. C’est le cas pour l’économie sociale (association, mutuelles, coopératives et fondations). »)

Le Réseau Interuniversitaire de l’ESS – RIUESS  - organise son XIIIe colloque à Angers les 5-7 juin 2013 sur le thème "Penser et faire l’ESS aujourd’hui. Valeurs, Statuts, Projets?". Programme et inscription

This symposium of the United nations Research Institute for Social Development seeks to: (i) understand the conditions and contexts that enable social and solidarity economy (SSE) to expand; and (ii) assess the implications of such processes and interactions with external actors and institutions for realizing the potential of SSE as a distinctive approach to development. What sort of enabling environment is needed for SSE realize its potential and sustain itself over the long term? As organizations and networks expand, does SSE conform or deviate from core principles and objectives? How can constraints and contradictions be addressed? From a policy perspective, the inquiry aims to give more visibility to SSE in United Nations policy debates and bring to the attention of policy makers key findings and recommendations from researchers around the world on the potential and limits of SSE, its role in addressing contemporary development challenges, and its place in a post-2015 development agenda. The UNRISD inquiry will be undertaken in close collaboration with a number of other United Nations organizations.

The 8th ISTR Asia Pacific Regional Conference. The third sector in the Asia Pacific region is very large and dynamic − it is claimed that China and India have 1+ million third sector organizations. The major growth in the third sector in Asia had been in the 1970s and 1980s – during the prodemocracy movements. The third sector activities and organizations, in the recent past, have also been influenced by many tax laws e.g. in Australia, Japan, Korea. Sadly democratization and recent extremist activities have prompted new legislations constricting the third sector in many countries. Laws affecting the third sector in the Asia Pacific region having been in existence for about 150 years have grown rapidly in the last two decades. Is this development for better or for worse? Call for paper until 31th March

The Third Sector - 'broadly defined as the voluntary, charitable, co-operative, religious, health and educational organisations which sit outside the confines of the private (‘profit’) and public sectors - is facing a rapidly changing environment which challenges its efficient management and continuation. This research workshop seeks to examine current influences on the effective operation of these non-profit organisations. We are interested in high quality research papers which address the managerial challenges facing this sector. The organisers are particularly interested in the results of managerial, economic and inter-disciplinary approaches. This workshop organised by the European Institute for Advanced Studies in Management (EIASM), will be of interest to researchers active in this area but also to policy-makers, senior managers and practitioners from all disciplines.

Microfinance has become a large banking segment as well as a widely practiced development tool. The present microfinance industry is confronted with a broad range of dilemmas and unsolved problems, and the debate about the development effect of microfinance continues. This provides our motivation for the invitation to researchers from all disciplines within social sciences and economics.The aim of the European Research Conference on Microfinance is to be the World’s most important meeting place of academics involved in microfinance research. The two former conferences organized by the Centre for European Research in Microfinance (CERMi) at the University Libre De Brussels, and by University of Groningen in the Netherlands have seen the turnout of several hundred researchers, as well as many practitioners interested in academic research, from across the globe. The upcoming conference is organized by the University of Agder in cooperation with the European Microfinance Platform (http://www.e-mfp.eu/), CERMi (www.cermi.eu) and University of Groningen (www.rug.nl/gsg) .

Le colloque 2013 du CIRIEC-Canada (colloque 458) se tiendra dans le cadre du 81 e Congrès de l’Association francophone pour le savoir.  Date limite de remise des propositions de communication: 25 janvier 2013.

Le bulletin ECO-SOC INFO de décembre 2012 de la Chaire de recherche du Canada en économie sociale est paru.

L’objet de ce colloque organisé par France business school (FBS) à l'Escem de Tours est de s’enquérir des travaux déjà existants dans d’autres disciplines des sciences humaines et sociales portant sur la responsabilité de manière générique. Il s’agira de voir comment ces travaux peuvent éclairer, mettre en perspective et même remettre en cause les différentes théories de la responsabilité sociale de l’entreprise dans ces différents aspects, qu’il s’agisse de la théorie des parties prenantes, de la gouvernance d’entreprise, etc. Etant donné que le spectre des disciplines labellisées comme sciences humaines et sociales est étendu, les disciplines suivantes ont été retenues eu égard à la fréquence de leur usage sur le thème de la responsabilité : la philosophie, la théologie, la sociologie, la psychanalyse, l’écologie et le droit.
