Fleury, Thibaut Charles. „La question du territoire aux Etats-Unis de 1789 à 1914 : apports pour la construction du droit international“. Thesis, Paris 2, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA020018/document.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis study is based upon the hypothesis that, from the entry into force of the federal constitution to the First World War, the United States territorial expansion, as well as the federal project, called for a « construction » of international law’s rules and principles within the American boundaries. It is to be remembered that, in 1789, the United States, the member States and the Indian Nations claimed for themselves, on parts or the whole of that space, the sovereignty that every « State » is entitled to according to international law. It is therefore by defining, adapting, or rethinking the notions of « State » or « territorial sovereignty », the conditions required for a territorial title to be held or formed, and by setting the legal status of international law, that those claims have been enforced – or not. Grounded upon the analysis of the American doctrine, practice and case law, the purpose of this study is thus to inquire about territorial issues as raised within what is usually described as a « federal State », sovereign on its territory. Because those issues, and mainly jurisdictional ones, are fundamental to international law, this work hopes to bring to light constructions of international law which are still relevant today

The purpose of this study was to examine the motives for participation in and withdrawal from sport of Special Olympics (SO) athletes using the frameworks of motivation in sport for athletes without disabilities. Two theoretical frameworks were applied--achievement motivation and self-determination theory (SDT). In addition, previous studies on the application of SDT to understanding motivation in people with intellectual disabilities (ID) were examined. This study included a nationally representative sample of 1,307 families, 579 SO athletes, and 300 SO coaches from 17 randomly selected states in the United States. Athletes and families were interviewed by telephone by trained interviewers from The Gallup Organization. Coaches were also interviewed by telephone, by the author and trained graduate students. Interviews followed scripted protocols that included questions about demographics, SO participation, and motivation for sport participation and withdrawal. The findings of this study suggest that there is similarity in motivation for sport participation between athletes with and without ID, as compared to the literature. The findings suggest, contrary to the literature on motivation for people with ID, that athletes with ID can be intrinsically motivated. However, there was a dichotomy of reasons for sport withdrawal. SO athletes generally left sport due to one of two reasons, personal interest in sport or other activities or some factor outside of the athlete's control, namely access to a local SO program. It is critical to note the relevance of the latter reason for sport withdrawal as it underscores a striking difference between athletes without disabilities and athletes with ID. In all, the theoretical frameworks of motivation have demonstrated relevance on the motivation for sport participation and withdrawal for athletes with ID. However, withdrawal due to external factors suggests a limitation in the application of the theoretical frameworks to adequately describe sport withdrawal for athletes with ID. Overall the results of this study emphasize that sport can also be a powerful experience for people with ID and promote an empowering message--that athletes are athletes, regardless of disability.

Esta tese argumenta que a participação do Brasil na Missão de Estabilização da ONU para o Haiti pode ser compreendida para além das explicações tradicionais que entendem a política externa como uma ponte entre a política interna e a política internacional, resultante de decisões racionais, interesses objetivos e identidades fixas. Partindo da premissa de que as articulações discursivas não são uma construção retórica superficial atrás das quais se encontra uma causa ou explicação real, não se busca discutir quais foram as intenções e motivações dos formuladores da política externa quando decidiram pela participação do Brasil na missão da ONU no Haiti. Rompendo com as perspectivas convencionais acerca do papel da identidade e da diferença nos estudos de política externa, essa tese analisa os discursos e práticas dominantes de construção do estado moderno no Brasil, no século XIX e início do século XX, e como estes funcionam produzindo uma determinada compreensão do self estatal – e da relação entre self e outro. Tal movimento, empreendido a partir do estudo de duas narrativas de pacificação, permite tanto pensar sobre os discursos e representações que tornaram possível a decisão brasileira de liderar o componente militar da MINUSTAH, quanto refletir sobre as constantes tentativas, passadas e contemporâneas, de reproduzir e estabilizar uma identidade específica para o Brasil, e para aqueles que agem, dentro e fora, em seu nome.
This dissertation argues that the participation of Brazil in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) may be understood beyond traditional explanations that understand foreign policy as a bridge between internal and international politics, resulting from rational decisions, objective interests and fixed identities. Based on the assumption that discursive articulations are not a superficial rhetorical construction behind which one may find real causes or real explanations, it does not aim to discuss the intentions and motivations behind Brazilian foreign policy decision makers resolution to participate in the UN mission in Haiti. Contrary to conventional approaches on the role of identity and difference in foreign policy studies, this dissertation analyzes dominant discourses and practices constructing the modern state in Brazil between the 19th and beginning of the 20th Century, and how these discourses and practices produce a specific understanding of the state self – and of the relation between self and other. Through the study of two pacification narratives, this movement allows one to think about the discourses and representations that made possible Brazil s decision to lead the military component of MINUSTAH; it also helps one to reflect on the permanent attempts – past and present – to reproduce and stabilize a specific identity for Brazil and for those acting in its name, both inside and outside.
Joie, Thomas. „Titres et statuts territoriaux au Moyen-Orient“. Thesis, Lyon 3, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013LYO30032.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleTerritorial titles and statuses occupy a central place in international law because of the territoriality of this legal order. The emergence of the Middle East States presents historical and legal specificities which are largely the sources of current territorial problems. Indeed, in the region under study, the application of Protectorate and Mandate regimes had a significant impact on the States territorial titles. Under these territorial regimes, unlike outright colonization, a separate international personality remained, in principle, for the entity under domination. Such an intermediate situation has often led to questions about the applicable rules of international law. The study considers precisely this issue: what effects have had the regimes of Protectorate and Mandate on the establishment or modification of territorial titles? The objective of thestudy is to contribute to highlight the origin of territorial titles in the Middle East, in order to better understand and analyze the current territorial problems in the region
Elmerich, Jérémy. „Des imaginaires rivaux. Nationalismes britanniques et écossais, canadiens et québécois“. Electronic Thesis or Diss., Valenciennes, Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023UPHF0037.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAs part of a historical sociology of nationalism, this doctoral thesis looks at the confrontation between British and Scottish, Canadian and Quebec national projects, and the mutation of the symbolic references employed, in the horizon of modernity. This trajectory first highlights the importance of these rivalries, as well as the institutional parameters specific to each state in the construction of the national identities in question. Largely marked by concomitance, the itineraries of Scottish and French-Canadian, then Quebecois, nationalisms differ not in the way they deploy their imaginaries, but in their object. Within this framework, a discourse analysis is carried out on the three referendums on self-determination held in Quebec in 1980 and 1995, and in Scotland in 2014. This analysis is articulated around the totemic notion of national imaginary, borrowed from Benedict Anderson, which is the subject of a major conceptualization and operationalization effort.Through these three comparative referendum sequences, we mobilize an analytical framework that looks first at the conceptions of British and Canadian national state identities supported by their defenders, in the monistic or pluralist relationships they maintain with sub-state identities, in the affirmation of their historicities, their foundations and their ends, both individual and communal.We then turn our attention to the sub-state national identities of Scotland and Quebec, in the way that advocates of independence make the case for their respective self-identity. Through these discourses, the terms of an asserted difference emerge; a difference whose terms vary according to the actors, anchored both in collective memory (the retrospective imaginary), in a specific understanding of the present and the relations to otherness it enshrines, while presuming the path to be taken. The final part of this discourse analysis focuses on the way in which the advocates of these entities' accession to full sovereignty envisage independence, revealing the forward-looking imaginary of actors who see it as the normal condition of a nation, the means of resolving a historical injustice through rupture, the possibility of another society or even the accession to full maturity in the form of a logical continuation.This socio-historical analysis, supported by that of referendary discourses, reveals the mutations of nationalism throughout modernity. They are characterized by the rationalisation of national imaginaries, the desubstantification of collective references and the deflation of discourses with a historical content, whose pendular movement seems increasingly magnetized by a regime of historicity in which the future, more than the past, is the driving force for action

Der volle Inhalt der Quelle„Coordinating self-enforcement of national actors against transnational bribery“. 2015. http://repository.lib.cuhk.edu.hk/en/item/cuhk-1290696.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis study develops argument based on an awareness of the limitation of a popular methodology in current literature-—the problem-solving paradigm. This paradigm is grounded in the rational-choice tradition, assumes signatories’ enforcement of the Convention as resulting from their self-serving purposes, labels the current level of Convention enforcement as “ineffective-enforcement”, and borrows solutions from conventional collective action theories to prescribe. This paradigm well explains why most signatories have brought few enforcement actions. Yet its excessive commitment to orthodoxies prevents scholars from grasping the uniqueness of the collaboration and prescribing successful solutions. Besides, it avoids explaining why some signatories have indeed enforced the Convention. A historical approach that draws causality from a process’s historicity is thus proposed as a supplementary methodology.
This study analyzes signatories’ compliance with the Convention by four steps: First, it explains a seemingly outdated but unexplained question—the dynamic of the institutionalization of the OECD anti-bribery collaboration, and finds that the central institutions did not result from signatories’ trading off conflicting values and interests, but from their attempts to coordinate demands of different stakeholders within given institutional contexts.
Second, this study explains why most signatories tend to defect rather than faithfully enforce the Convention, following the logic of the problem-solving paradigm: destabilizing factors in the indigenous collaboration encourage defection in the first place, and the monitoring program in the collaboration fails to resolve these destabilizing factors in the second place. More fundamentally, the surreptitious nature of transnational bribery fails central monitoring—a conventional effective solution to collective action problems.
This study then formulates a three-level solution model to address the monitoring problem: first, this model encourages private sector actors to report clues of transnational bribery so as to resolve the lack of first-hand information. Second, given the weakness of private sector actors in collecting solid evidence, this model stresses the dominant role of national prosecutors in the home country of bribe-paying companies to conduct in-depth investigations. Third, given that prosecutors may shirk duty because of protectionism, this model suggests to authorize prosecutors in the home country of victimized competitors the right to monitor the investigation process.
Forth, this study takes the US as an example to analyze the positive side of Convention enforcement. Given that FCPA enforcement is embodied in the SEC and the DOJ’s independent performance of their own statutory duties, this study reviews variation in the SEC and the DOJ’s enforcement efforts in past decades, and finds that this variation results from their adherence to their own missions in an evolving institutional context—which gradually incorporates their duties of enforcing the FCPA into their central missions.
美国的《反海外贿赂法》和世界经合组织的《关于反对在国际商务活动中贿赂外国公务人员行为的公约》(《公约》)为学界提供了两个重要课题:《反海外贿赂法》开创性地将跨国商业贿赂规定为犯罪,其合理性曾饱受质疑;《公约》将《反海外贿赂法》的精神推广到其他国家后,学界进而关注其执行效果,并提供政策建言—此亦是本文的论题。
本文的论述建立在对学界的“问题导向型”研究范式批判继承的基础之上:该范式植根理性主义传统,假定国家决策的自利属性,将《公约》的执行现状拟制为“非有效执行”,并试图从传统集体行动理论中借鉴对策。该范式阐释了为何多数缔约国执行《公约》乏力。然而其过于依赖传统理论,忽略《公约》项下集体行动的独特性,难以找准对策。同时该范式完全回避解释少数缔约国认真履约的现实。因此,本文在肯定该范式的理论贡献之上建议采用历史分析方法,从《公约》执行实践中总结经验,以为补充。
本文首先分析了《公约》项下反贿赂集体行动的制度化进程,发现《反海外贿赂法》和《公约》等核心制度的产生并非源自各缔约国对利益和价值的权衡取舍,而是立法者在既定的社会制度和价值体系中协调各主体的利益关切的必然选择。随后,本文立足于 “问题导向型”范式的理论成果,阐释了大部分缔约国不执行《公约》的原因:反贿赂集体行动存在着诸多结构性不安定因素,而《公约》项下的监督体制未能克服相关问题。《公约》项下集体行动问题需要系统的、三层次的应对模式:鼓励私人主体提供贿赂案件的原始线索;将私人主体获取原始线索的优势和公权力搜集确凿证据的优势整合;赋予受损的竞争者的母国对调查取证的参与权,促成缔约国相互监督。最后本文分析了美国日益激进的战略,发现其对《反海外贿赂法》的执行力度随着执法部门的执法义务和本部门中心任务的逐渐兼容而得以加强,其轨迹不同于理性主义对国家行为逻辑的预测。美国的激进战略客观上造就了国际规制竞争,为提高公约执行水平提供了新路径。

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis master’s thesis seeks to analyze what motivates a state’s military intervention in another state in order to stop mass human rights violations such as ethnic cleansing and genocide. Particularly, it tries to explain the United States inconsistent behavior towards genocide and ethnic cleansing during the Rwanda 1994, the Kosovo 1999, and the Darfur 2003 to 2008 humanitarian crisis. Using arguments of the realist approach in International Relations, whose main explanatory factor for state behavior is egoistic national self- interest, this paper examines the United States position during these three human rights crisis. Specifically, we seek to understand the United States non intervention during the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda in 1994, the United States intervention in Kosovo in 1999, and finally the United States non intervention during the mass killings in Darfur in 2003 to 2008. These case studies demonstrate that shifting definitions of the national self-interest motivate states to intervene or not intervene in ethnic cleansing and genocide crisis. First, during the 1994 Tutsi genocide in Rwanda, the United States chose to not intervene because the national interest, defined as the concentration on domestic affairs, would not be maximized by a military intervention. Secondly, the United States and NATO military intervention during the Kosovo crisis in 1999 can be explained by the pursuit of national self-interest maximization: in the post cold war context, the United States seek to strengthen their security engagements in Europe, to preserve their position and prestige in the international arena, to ensure regional stability as well as the NATO credibility. Finally, it will be argued that the national security self-interests motivated the United States non intervention in Darfur 2003 to 2008.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleFrom the ashes of devastating acts of terrorism has arIsen a resolve so powerful that measures of counterterrorism risk being manipulated by states to justify excess. In an attempt to prevent armed attacks against their interests, a number of states have adopted policies of targeted killing to permanently incapacitate terrorists on foreign soil. The intentional killing of suspected offenders, however, cannot be lawfully carried-out by states in the absence of armed conflict without regard for the right to life. The following research attempts to determine whether it is permissible for nations to use force on foreign soil to . incapacitate dangerous individuals or rescue hostages under international law. By studying article 51 selfdefense of the United Nations charter, a number of conclusions are asserted, namely that operations to "arrest or neutralise" can only be carried-out in states that support terrorists or are complacent to their presence, and that declaring "war on terrorism" cannot allow governments to kill suspected terrorists in countries where there is no war, except in a manner that is reconcilable with the rights to life and selfdefense. Since division among members of the international community may ultimately diminish their ability to collectively suppress international terrorism, the potential for hindered cooperation between abolitionist states and those that carry-out targeted killings is also addressed. The current research concludes that targeted killings can only be justified outside the context of armed conflict when they are truly necessary as a last resort to prevent armed attacks and save lives.

„The United Democratic Front as exponent of mass-based resistance and protest, 1983-1990“. Thesis, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10210/5608.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleNon-violent mass-based protest and resistance by liberation groups have a long history in the South African context. Prior to the 1980s, they had achieved only minor and isolated successes. The formation of the United Democratic Front (UDF) in 1983 and its successful mass protest action against the state to 1990, changed the equation, however. The UDF's origin could indirectly be traced back to attempts from the 1950s to launch mass-based protest and resistance against the apartheid state. Calls for the formation of a united front against the South African State were made by various persons and organisations since the 1950s, but it was only by the 1980s that circumstances allowed the formation of a united front. Demographic realities, urbanisation, the legalisation of black trade unions, an educated leadership, the growth of a grassroots-based civil society among blacks, all contributed to make the formation of the UDF a reality. Protest against the government's tricameral system, initially provided the direct stimulus for the formation of the UDF during 1983 to 1984. By the end of 1984, the UDF had built up a wide support base to directly threaten the government's position. The result was several states of emergency through which the state endeavoured to crush the UDF-led opposition. The UDF's unique structure, which consisted of affiliates from all sectors of civil society, including black trade unions as an alliance partner, managed to survive the state's repressive measures, continued to pressurise the state so that by 1989, under a new head-of-state, the National Party "capitulated" and opened the door to real elections for a democratic South Africa. The UDF's strategies were aimed to mobilise the masses and through its mass-based action, bring maximum pressure to bear on the government. This strategic approach was executed by employing various tactics, which related to the classic methods of mass-based non-violent action. In the end, the state's security apparatus proved unable to cope with the UDF's relentless actions, offset by its inability to act effectively against the UDF as an entity, mainly because of its amorphous structure. Although other factors, such as economic recession, foreign sanctions, the ANC campaign to isolate South Africa, among other played a role, the UDF provided the crucial domestic impetus to illustrate to the South African government, that black resistance couldn't be suppressed and that the situation would continue to worsen. Seen against this background, it is unlikely that CODESA would have occurred as soon as it did without the activities of the UDF throughout the 1980s.

This thesis can roughly be divided into two parts. Part One (Chapters 2 and 3) presents the historical and legal evolution of injunctive relief orders issued in "Section 337" unfair importation investigations from 1922 to 1974 (under the Tariff Commission) and from 1974 to 2006 (under the USITC, which is the main subject of this thesis). This thesis finds that extra-governmental legal pressure from the United States' main trade partners via the GATT, in combination with intra-governmental political pressure from the President (via the U.S. Trade Representative's Office) and Congress, forced the USITC to evolve a new form of exclusive order relief through administrative rulemaking processes. Part Two (Chapters 4 and 5) statistically analyzes the factual and legal bases supporting the USITC's historical issuance of General/Limited Exclusion Orders to test for the effects of bias in the USITC's decision-making. This thesis (which assumes that the USITC did not operate in a vacuum) statistically examines USITC's decisions to determine whether non-statutory factors may have affected the agency's decision-making process. (see Section 1.1.2). We also find that bias does not appear to play a statistically significant role in the USITC's decision-making process. This historical evolution in the legal structure of Section 337 created a more balanced, equitable, and trade-friendly enforcement tool to protect U.S. intellectual property rights in international trade.
