Une boussole des possibles
Gouvernance mondiale et humanismes juridiques
Mireille Delmas-Marty

Éditions du Collège de France
Collection « Leçons de clôture »

Le processus de mondialisation ouvre des possibilités inédites, mais suscite aussi des menaces pour l’être humain et l’ensemble de l’écosystème, provoquant ainsi un repli souverainiste dans un monde de plus en plus «déboussolé». Quelle place, donc, pour un humanisme juridique au sein de la gouvernance mondiale ? Mireille Delmas-Marty confronte au récit de l’effondrement celui de la mondialité, communauté de destin unie et solidaire dans sa pluralité. Aucroisement des droits nationaux et du droit international, elle revisite trois voies qu’elle avait explorées près de dix ans auparavant : résister à la déshumanisation, responsabiliser les acteurs globaux et anticiper les risques à venir. Ponctuée de nouveaux commentaires, et relue sous l’angle d’une « boussole des possibles », cette leçon de clôture prononcée en 2011 se révèle d’une actualité saisissante.

Juriste, Mireille Delmas-Marty a enseigné le droit dans les universités de Lille II, Paris XI et Paris I. Elle est professeure émérite au Collège de France, où elle a été titulaire de la chaire Études juridiques comparatives et internationalisation du droit de 2002 à 2011. Elle est membre de l’Académie des sciences morales et politiques.

Una bussola dei possibili
Governance mondiale e umanesimo giuridico
Mireille Delmas-Marty

A cura di Emanuela Fronza e Carlo Sotis

Viviamo una situazione di spaesamento sconvolta da “venti opposti”, apparentemente inconciliabili. Libertà e sicurezza, competizione e cooperazione, esclusione e integrazione, innovazione e conservazione. In un’acuta riflessione sul diritto e sulla giustizia, Mireille Delmas-Marty ci ricorda che l’umanesimo e la centralità della persona sono più che mai necessari di fronte alle sfide della nostra era: crisi sanitarie e finanziarie, sociali ed ecologiche, disastri umanitari e terrorismo globale, sono tutti accomunati da interdipendenze così forti che nessuno Stato può più rispondervi da solo. L’umanesimo giuridico è la bussola individuata dalla jurispoète Delmas-Marty per la ricerca di un ordine accettabile da tutti, immaginando un nuovo mondo.

Mireille Delmas-Marty (1941-2022) è stata professoressa al Collège de France (cattedra di Études juridiques comparatives et internationalisation du droit, 2002-2011) e membro dell’Institut de France dal 2007 (Académie des sciences morales et politiques). Ha partecipato come esperta a numerosi progetti presso istituzioni francesi, europee e internazionali. È stata autrice di oltre quaranta libri e le sue opere sono state tradotte in dodici lingue.

A compass of possibilities
Global governance and legal humanism
Mireille Delmas-Marty

Edited by Emanuela Fronza and Chiara Giorgetti

Globalization opens up unprecedented opportunities, but it also creates threats not only to human beings but also to the entire ecosystem, provoking a sovereigntist withdrawal in a world that is losing its way through powerful, seemingly irreconcilable, winds of globalization: freedom and security, competition and cooperation, exclusion and integration, innovation and preservation. What is the place, then, for legal humanism within the global governance system? Mireille Delmas-Marty confronts narrow narratives – disaster-narratives of collapse or programmatic-narratives with the adventure-narrative of Mondiality, a community of destiny united in its plurality. This book proves the striking relevance of her thought in order to face the challenges of our era: health, financial, social and ecological crises, humanitarian disasters and global terrorism. All these complex phenomena reveal that it is illusory to think we are able to act alone: rather, it is necessary to imagine a new path to navigate globalization and create a politics of solidarity between global actors. Mireille Delmas-Marty proposes new tools for this, and namely A Compass of Possibilities, in order to create a new governance of the world soothed by legal humanisms in movements.

Mireille Delmas-Marty (1941-2022) was Professor Emeritus at the Collège de France, where she held the Chair of Comparative Legal Studies and Internationalization of Law from 2002 to 2011. She was also a member of the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences at the Institute de France and Doctor Honoris Causa of eight universities around the world. She acted as an expert in numerous projects at French, European and international institutions. She authored over forty books, and her works have been translated into twelve languages.
