Les ressources naturelles, un bien commun ?

Posted 9 May 2009 - 5:00am by Chahira Nouira
La démocratie a triomphé dans son principe alors qu'elle s'est fragilisée dans son fonctionnement. Elle s'est imposée comme la seule figure du bien politique, mais les citoyens n'ont jamais été aussi désenchantés, entretenant une étrange atmosphère de déception mêlée d'impuissance. Nos sociétés sont marquées par les inégalités et par les disparités fortes entre les régions et les territoires, elles tendent à se crisper dans des replis identitaires et communautaires et génèrent de fortes poussées de xénophobie et de rejet de l'autre. Comment sortir de cette situation et refonder nos démocraties ? telle est la question. Et il y a urgence. D'où la nécessité de creuser le diagnostic et de confronter les analyses du malaise contemporain.
