Résumé

Pendant deux décennies, Daniel Cohen a impulsé et soutenu de nombreux travaux sur nos démocraties et leur avenir. Cet ouvrage rassemble les plus récents à travers une série de contributions conjuguant rigueur académique et accessibilité.
Les autrices et les auteurs décortiquent les ressorts des crises et surtout tracent des perspectives pour un meilleur fonctionnement démocratique à tous les étages de la société et des institutions : selon eux, c’est la clé pour répondre aux enjeux du siècle.
Les lecteurs voyageront ainsi des modes de scrutin innovants pour mieux permettre d’exprimer les préférences des citoyens jusqu’aux nouveaux horizons de la démocratie en entreprise, de l’enjeu de la parité à celui, existentiel, du changement climatique.

The True Price of CO₂

In 2024, a grim record was set: it was the hottest year ever recorded on Earth. The signs of climate upheaval are now visible to all, as global warming manifests itself in a rapid rise in extreme weather events. In theory, the solution is straightforward: we must stop burning fossil fuels. In practice, phasing out energy sources so firmly entrenched in contemporary societies is an immense challenge. To reduce CO₂ emissions, economists — trained in cost–benefit analysis — can help policymakers design strategies that are both effective and socially acceptable.
