Course contents :

| The course draws much of its inspiration from the work "Le nouvel esprit solidaire" (Paris, Desclée de Brouwer, 2009). The aim is to determine how the theory of association came about in the 19th century, in what was known as associationist socialism, between Marxism and left-wing liberalism. The next step is comprised of defining the key values involved in associative practice in the 20th century in order to envisage their contemporary achievements in specific structures (fair trade, non-monetary trading, microcredits, support for leaders of economic microprojects). We shall endeavour to answer a set of questions: are associative economics an alternative to capitalism or are they just a spare tyre? Should associations develop on the market or become the substitutes for services that the state can no longer offer the population? Should associations be politically engaged or be content with acting efficiently in the field? Does managerial ideology (efficiency, flexibility, assessment, good governance, etc.) have an influence on the organisation of associations? Etc.Speakers from outside the ULg (professionals of mentioned sectors) will maybe close the cycle. The examination in June will be an oral examination |
