    International audienceWe prove L p-bounds for the Riesz transforms d/ √ −∆, ÎŽ/ √ −∆ associated with the Hodge-Laplacian ∆ = −ήd − dÎŽ equipped with absolute and relative boundary conditions in a Lipschitz subdomain Ω of (smooth) Riemannian manifold M, for p in a certain interval depending on the Lipschitz character of the domain

    Le microcrédit est-il le faux-nez du néolibéralisme ?

    Dans un contexte de mondialisation, le microcrĂ©dit pour des femmes a Ă©tĂ© largement investi par la plupart des grands organismes internationaux et de nombreuses ONG. Est-ce une panacĂ©e pour combattre la pauvretĂ© dans le monde ou une maniĂšre d’introduire aussi les plus vulnĂ©rables dans l’économie nĂ©olibĂ©rale mondiale ?Pour faire le point sur ce dĂ©bat, nous proposons d’aborder la question sous deux angles. PremiĂšrement, celui de l’efficacitĂ© du microcrĂ©dit comme instrument de la lutte contre la pauvretĂ©. Il semble alors qu’elle est trĂšs variable et que ce sont au mieux les « moins pauvres » qui peuvent en profiter. DeuxiĂšmement, celui de l’objectif secondaire du microcrĂ©dit qui se veut aussi l’élĂ©ment dĂ©clencheur de l’empowerment des femmes pauvres. Les Ă©lĂ©ments de rĂ©ponses sont Ă©galement divers et l’empowerment clairement constatĂ© dans certains exemples indiens semble ĂȘtre surtout l’impact des groupes d’entraide (self-help groups), dont le microcrĂ©dit ne reprĂ©sente qu’une des activitĂ©s.En conclusion, il semble que, dans la majoritĂ© des cas, la microfinance crĂ©e un filet de sĂ©curitĂ© Ă©vitant ainsi des situations sociales explosives, sans pour autant reprĂ©senter une Ă©chelle pour sortir durablement de la pauvretĂ©.Is microcredit the mask of neoliberalism? Microfinance and poor women: the story so far. In the context of globalisation, micro-credit for women has been invested by the majority of the international institutions and many NGOs. Is it the panacea for fighting against poverty or a means of introducing even the most vulnerable into the neo-liberal world-economy?In order to give an overview of the debate, we propose to look into the question from two points of view. Firstly, the effectiveness of micro-credit as an instrument to fight against poverty seems variable and apparently the “least poor” are the only ones who might benefit. Secondly, micro-credit often pretends to trigger off poor women’s empowerment. The conclusions are once more divers and in some Indian cases where clear evidence of empowerment could be found, this seems to be first of all the positive impact of the self-help groups who provide many more services on top of micro-credit.In conclusion, it seems that most of the time, micro-credit creates a safety net that avoids socially explosive situations but does not provide a ladder to climb durably out of poverty
