Description
Summary:The notion of common good has a specific role at the present time of globalisation. The concept of global public good is also used in this context. These terms, close together but also different, bring to the questions of appropriation, production and scarcity.

Then we propose a critical analysis of global public goods which are supposed to sublimate  global exploitation and competition.
