Resumo: No contexto de crescentes preocupações com a dimensão ambiental na agenda política global, tem havido um aumento de iniciativas de cooperação internacional para esta temática. O Fundo para o Meio Ambiente Mundial (GEF), criado em 1991, constitui um organismo multilateral, cujo financiamento se destina a projetos para a proteção do meio ambiente global, realizados em países em desenvolvimento. A proposta do GEF se enquadra no âmbito das assimetrias Norte-Sul para gerir os problemas ambientais, consistindo em um instrumento de auxílio aos países com menos recursos para participar na prevenção de problemas ambientais globais. A presente dissertação examina as dinâmicas de conhecimento envolvidas neste padrão de cooperação. Com base no referencial teórico do neofuncionalismo nas relações internacionais, discute-se o papel central que formas de expertise adquiriram na realização da cooperação internacional em geral, e mais especificamente, nas iniciativas voltadas ao meio ambiente, tendo sido incorporadas na estrutura das principais agências multilaterais de cooperação. A importância da expertise no estabelecimento de padrões e políticas ambientais é contraposta por abordagens - como os Estudos Sociais da Ciência e Tecnologia e a Teoria Cultural do Risco - que questionam a aparente neutralidade do conhecimento científico neste processo. Assim, argumenta-se que o maior nível de capacidades científicas e tecnológicas no Norte permite que este tenha uma posição privilegiada no momento de definir as políticas e opções de cooperação para o meio ambiente. Este referencial é utilizado para analisar um projeto de cooperação realizado no Brasil com recursos do GEF, para o desenvolvimento e teste de um protótipo de ônibus movido a hidrogênio. Foi possível concluir, com base neste projeto, que alternativas tecnológicas constituem um dos focos da cooperação internacional para o meio ambiente, e que a realização dos projetos permanece fortemente centrada na participação de experts. Por outro lado, promove-se a disseminação do uso de tecnologias e de conhecimentos associados a modelos de gestão ambiental, mas perpetua-se a dependência de tecnologias dos países em desenvolvimento em relação aos países desenvolvidos. Além disso, a participação do Sul na definição de agendas ambientais permanece prejudicada
Abstract: In the context of growing concerns about the environment in the global political agenda, there has been an increase in international environmental cooperation. The Global Environmental Facility (GEF) was established in 1991 as a multilateral organization, to fund projects aiming to protect the global environment, carried out in developing countries. This format is a response to international demands to consider North-South asymmetries in the promotion of environmental policies and projects. The present dissertation examines the dynamics of knowledge involved in this pattern of cooperation. Based on the theoretical framework of neo-functionalism from the field of International Relations, this work discusses the central role of expertise in conducting international aid, having been incorporated into the work and structure of the main multilateral agencies for cooperation. The importance of expertise in setting standards and policies for environment management is countered by scholars within the Social Studies of Science and Technology and Cultural Theory of Risk that challenge the apparent neutrality of scientific knowledge in this process. Thus, it is argued that the highest level of scientific and technological capacities in the North allows it to have a privileged position in defining environmental policies and international cooperation. These approaches are applied to analyze a project of cooperation carried out in Brazil and funded by the GEF, aimed to develop and test a prototype of hydrogen-powered bus. Based on this project, we concluded that alternative technologies are one of the main focus of international cooperation for the environment, and that the implementation of projects remains strongly based on participation of experts. On the other hand, environmental cooperation may promote the widespread use of technology and knowledge associated with environmental management, but it also perpetrates the technology dependence from South to North. In addition, the participation of developing countries in setting the global environmental agenda setting remains impaired towards the developed world

Full textThis study aims at verifying the existence of the professional field of rural development in the Sisal Region, in Bahia’s semi-arid region, analyzing the forms through which this process might have contributed to the institutionalization of ideas on what rural development entails and how it might have opened space for the creation of new local logics. As to methodological approaches, micro and macro social analyses were integrated, having the concept of social field as analytical level so as to deal with middle range theories in order to explain social phenomena, particularly neo-institutional and social movement theories. Empirical survey was based on primary data collected in different periods from interviews and observations, to which were added a considerable amount of secondary data gathered from reports, newsletters, videos, newspapers and other academic works. In order to historically recover the field of rural development, from the 70’s to the present days, discourse analysis technique was employed, so as to characterize actors, their main logics of action, particularly those related to professionalization. The attempt at conceptualizing professionalization and clarifying what is being considered as the field or rural development were an important task of the work. Four main contrasting forces in the field, influencing its professionalization were identified: Insurgent Solidarity; insurgent solidarity and economic insertion conflicts; particular forms of relation between State and society; and the insertion of themes and practices absorbed during actors/fields mimetic, regulative and normative mechanisms at micro and macro levels. From the identification and analysis of forces involved in professionalization in the field, suggestions are put forward as to the enlargement of the understanding on professionalization and institutional entrepreneurship, which might be relevant to future studies aiming at integrating agency-structure analyses and individual and collective action dimensions.
Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar a existência de campo profissional do desenvolvimento rural na Região do Sisal, no semi-árido baiano, analisando de que forma este processo contribuiu para a institucionalização de idéias sobre o que vem a ser desenvolvimento rural, e como ele, também, abriu espaços para a criação de novas lógicas locais. Como estratégia metodológica buscou-se integrar análises macro e micro sociais, utilizando-se noção de campos sociais como nível de análise, com o objetivo de trabalhar com teorias de médio alcance para explicação de fenômenos sociais, em especial as teorias neo-institucionais e as teorias de movimentos sociais. O levantamento empírico fundamentou-se em dados primários, recolhidos em diferentes momentos a partir de entrevistas e observações, aliado a uma ampla gama de dados secundários, recolhidos a partir de relatórios, boletins, newsletters, vídeos, jornais, e outros trabalhos acadêmicos. Foi utilizada a técnica da análise de discurso para trabalhar com os dados fazendo uma reconstituição histórica do campo do desenvolvimento rural entre a década de 70 e os dias atuais, buscando caracterizar os atores participantes, suas principais lógicas de ação, em especial aquelas relacionadas à profissionalização. Esclarecer o que se entende por profissionalização e o que foi considerado como campo do desenvolvimento rural fizeram parte de um esforço de conceituação do trabalho. Foram identificadas quatro principais forças que se contrastavam no campo e que influenciaram na sua profissionalização: a Solidariedade Insurgente; os conflitos entre inserção econômica e a solidariedade insurgente; formas particulares de relacionamento entre sociedade e Estado; e a inserção de temáticas e práticas absorvidas através de mecanismos miméticos, regulativos e normativos de atores/campos localizados em níveis meso e macro. A partir da identificação e análise das forças envolvidas na profissionalização do campo, são propostas sugestões para a ampliação do entendimento sobre profissionalização e empreendedorismo institucional, que poderão ser pertinentes para futuros estudos que busquem integrar as análises sobre agência-estrutura e as dimensões individual e coletiva da ação.
Shungur, Shantarene. "Cooperation among adversaries : managing transboundary water disputes in conflict settings." Thesis, McGill University, 2005. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=102173.
Full textNext, a model is developed that first illustrates the causal pathways among five independent variables, (water scarcity mode, critical environmental threshold, riparian position, state power profile and sustainable development of water resources); three contextual variables, (conflict setting, economic-developmental level, economic-developmental crisis) and the dependent variable of riparian conflict. The pathway is then extended with the addition of two more contextual variables (negotiation structure and strategy) to explain the second dependent variable of regime emergence. Eight hypotheses are then theoretically derived and tested with specifics from four cases covering both developing and developed state riparian conflicts within protracted and non-protracted settings. The Middle East, South Asian, and North American regions are thus studied.
It was evident that the degree of water scarcity has either conflict enhancing or conflict mitigating properties depending upon the patterns of interaction among the variables. Both contextual variable clusters had theoretically significant effects on the nature of the regime. I inferred that the state formation dynamic influenced the economic-developmental context in which water policy is formulated and shaped the domestic configuration of water interests. It appears that the influence of rent-seeking groups opposed to a transboundary water treaty wax and wane once critical environmental thresholds, which aggravate or cause an economic-developmental crisis, are exceeded (especially in the most powerful state). This, along with other economic, international and geographic factors, ultimately, alters the preferences of the policymakers to enable compromise at the international level. A state's institutional capacity to adopt a more sustainable water usage pattern is also relevant in this regard.

Full textThe study is structured around a theoretical examination of development and the discursive practices that constitute and sustain it, followed by three case studies drawing upon different dimensions of engagement and struggle within one organisation. The first case takes as a point of focus the internal struggles around action within the organisation, the second considers engagement between the organisation and one of its funding partners, while the third considers relations of power and authority between the organisation and a community based Federation it aims to support. Methodologically, all three of these cases involved the use of extended semi-structured interviews, on-site observation, and discourse (textual and oral) analysis. The final two cases involved an action-oriented approach to the research where lines of questioning and points of struggle arising from the community (or institution) over time formed the basis of the investigation and helped to shape the direction it took.
The study concludes by exploring the limits and possibilities of engaging with power at these particular sites, and considers how critical, reflexive and dialogical approaches to informal learning can serve as vehicles for this engagement. Drawing upon an examination of the three case studies, it suggests specific conditions needed to for actors to engage in the forms of collective learning which might strengthen collective voice and agency and expand the limits of what is deemed possible at the specific sites and instances of struggle.
La présente étude examine le travail et les partenariats d'une organisation non gouvernementale environnementale située au Sénégal afin de comprendre les façons dont le pouvoir est exercé et son impact sur les activités des gens au sein des réseaux multilatéraux des institutions de développement et des intervenants à l'échelle internationale, nationale, régionale et locale. Portant particulièrement sur les relations discursives au sein de ces réseaux, l'étude vise à dévoiler les cultures de discipline, de pouvoir et de contrôle complexes et à paliers multiples au sein du développement; à décrire sommairement les stratégies conçues pour aider à resituer les notions d'autorité, de reddition de comptes et de pouvoir dans le cadre de la gestion et de l'évaluation du développement; et à suggérer des façons dont l'apprentissage et la pratique réflexive pourraient être utilisés pour révéler les relations de pouvoir au sein de l'appareil de développement, s'engager dans celles-ci et les transformer.
L'étude s'articule autour d'un examen théorique du développement et des pratiques discursives qui le constituent et le soutiennent. Elle est suivie de trois études de cas portant sur différentes dimensions de l'engagement et des enjeux au sein d'une organisation. La première étude de cas met l'accent sur les enjeux internes relatives aux mesures prises au sein de l'organisation, la deuxième étude de cas est axée sur l'engagement entre l'organisation et l'un de ses partenaires financiers, tandis que la troisième étude de cas porte sur les relations de pouvoir et d'autorité entre l'organisation et une fédération communautaire qu'elle vise à appuyer. Sur le plan méthodologique, les trois études de cas comportaient des entrevues en profondeur semi-structurées, des observations sur place et des analyses du discours (écrit et oral). Les deux dernières études de cas comprenaient une approche en matière de recherche centrée sur l'action au sein de laquelle les questions et les enjeux soulevés au fil du temps par la communauté (ou l'institution) ont jeté les bases de l'enquête et ont permis de façonner son orientation.
L'étude se termine par un examen des limites et des possibilités liées à la prise de pouvoir dans ces sites particuliers, et tient compte de la façon dont des approches en matière d'apprentissage informel critiques, réflexives et dialogiques peuvent agir à titre de véhicules pour cet engagement. Fondée sur l'examen des trois études de cas, l'étude propose des conditions précises requises pour que les intervenants participent aux méthodes d'apprentissage collectif susceptibles de donner voix et vie et d'étendre les limites de ce qui est jugé possible dans ces sites particuliers et dans les cas d'enjeux.

Full textCette thèse a pour objet l'étude des contrôles du commerce et de la prolifération de la technologie spatiale. Elle se concentre sur deux questions majeures illustrant d'une part les défis que poseraient une future réforme et d'autre part les perspectives que cette dernière serait susceptible d'ouvrir. La première question examinée est le défi posé par une réforme de la politique et du droit interne au regard de la diversité de la règlementation internationale. Elle est abordée à travers une étude de cas portant sur le régime américain de contrôle des exportations de satellites de communication. La seconde question concerne les conséquences internationales induites par le contrôle du commerce et de la prolifération de la technologie spatiale sur la coopération spatiale civile mondiale. Cette thèse vise à démontrer que les Etats opèrent dans un système juridique international qui entretient un dilemme sécuritaire auto-justifié provenant du droit international des Etats à produire, acquérir et entretenir des technologies spatiales d'ordre militaire. Par conséquent, le système juridique international gouvernant le commerce et la prolifération de la technologie spatiale génère une tension entre les besoins de sécurité nationale tels qu'ils sont perçus et les bénéfices d'une coopération mondiale.

That is why africa is, and will perhaps remain so for a long time, divided still against herself as much in the so innocent field of human rights applicable to the armed conflicts as in that of the diplomacy and of the general legal politics

Full textThis thesis aims to contribute, in the light of the principles and postulates of social management, to the comprehension of the process of construction of knowledge in the field of international cooperation to South-South development. Therefore, the theoretical construction that supports our study covers: (i) the international cooperation for development as a field of power, in which we can practice two ways of cooperation: North-South and South-South; (ii) some disputes in this field are powered by a world-system, in which central countries exert their power of hegemonic mode by replicating, through North-South cooperation, the neoliberal logic for the semi-peripheral and peripheral countries, as well as enforcing an intellectual domination, from an Eurocentric vision, in a context of coloniality of knowledge; (iii) also that in an attempt to intend to the field of international development cooperation, the semi-peripheral and peripheral countries have teamed up to build South-South political concept, which bases the modality of South-South cooperation that, theoretically, provides respect for historical, social and cultural singularities of each country; (iv) among international interventions for the promotion of "development", North-South international cooperation transfers scientific knowledge to peripheral countries, in the name of scientific progress and "development"; (v) that there is no universal model to promote development, which requires respect for particularities of each society; (vi) that overcoming adversities that characterize the situation of peripheral countries requires consideration and respect for local knowledge, in a process of collective construction of knowledge; (vii) that the process of construction of knowledge establishes the respect for the diversity of an epistemological world, proposing the ecology of knowledge in terms of Santos (2008), where there is the work of translation, in which the experiences and knowledge of society are connected to scientific knowledge to provide new and suitable knowledge according to the social reality of each society; (viii) that the relations established in the field of international development cooperation are power relations, and therefore, need to be managed; (ix) that the adoption of the concept of social management is pertinent to discuss relations in the field of international development cooperation, since it has covered the social and political dimension of relations, in addition to the technical dimension. Based on these theoretical postulates, this thesis investigated and reviewed the cooperation agreement between Brazil and Cape Verde, in the area of education, for the implementation of the Master's degree in Public Administration in Cape Verde. The results showed that, to build knowledge in the field of international development cooperation, it is necessary to respect the challenge of time and the inherent challenge in the learning process. Which implies in recognizing the time of others, which is not the linear time advocated by modern world-system, necessarily, as well as to carry out the translation, through which the experiences and knowledge of societies link scientific knowledge generated at the University, building new and adequate knowledge tailored to the social reality of each community. However, it implies treating each project as the only international cooperation since it brings agents constituted both by different worldviews as different historical, social, economic and political contexts.

Full textThe study “Water carved out the mountains. Policy communication of Engaged Buddhists related to international development cooperation” contributes to an understanding of development from perspectives of non-denominational action among so called Engaged Buddhists. Departing from qualitative interviews with nine leaders of socially engaged organizations from five Asian countries, the systemic programming resulting from their ideals are compared to key principles and programming of international development cooperation. Responding to the question:”What policy ideals shape the development programming, and can these be linked to forms of power and the rights-based approach?” this inter-disciplinary and multi-sited study feeds into the increased interest in faith-based expressions within the general public sphere, and specifically in the development industry. Guided by the ontology of critical realism, a mixed method is used shaped by qualitative interviews and participatory observations, enabling both analysis of meanings and development programming. Based on their views on Buddhist ethics and practices, the leaders address development topics common today. Policies expressed are placed within a communication culture for change, yet not necessarily by conventional confrontational advocacy modes. Diverse understandings are at play, such as how to convey meanings of “kindness”. Although not referring to concepts common within the social and cultural structures of contemporary international development cooperation, the actors develop methods based on principles of participation in particular and the work today can also be related to other principles of the Human Rights Based Approach. The policies and programming are linked to invisible, informal and formal forms of power although informants refer to interpretations of compassion, inter-relatedness and non-dualism, among other.From a perspective of development cooperation, a hypothetical argument is advanced suggesting that the informants do not differ at substantial level related to their understanding and practice of Buddhism or their general approaches to development topics, as much as they differ regarding their approach to programming aimed at influencing forms of power. The common criticism of Buddhists not addressing power can then for this group be nuanced, and indicatively suggested not to be valid regarding invisible and informal power, but rather regarding formal power.Academic fields: Communication for development with reference to sociology of religion, political science, global studies and multi-sited ethnography.Key words: Engaged Buddhism, Civil Society Organizations, Faith-Based Organizations, Human Right Based Approach, participation, complexity/systemic approaches, power, Thich Nhath Hanh, Sister Chan Khong, Sulak Sivaraksa, Bikkhuni Dhammananda, A.T.

Full textThis study has aimed to analyze the management process, participation and knowledge sharing in the Project Decentralized International Cooperation (CID) Purefood (Urban, peri-urban and regional food dynamics: toward na integrated and territorial approach to food) from the perspective of Social Management assumptions. The Project has been funding by the European Union through the Marie Curie fund, and it has been developing by a consortium of seven universities – five european, one from Uganda and one from Brazil, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, through the Post Graduation Program in Rural Development (PGDR), the central object of analysis. As theoretical and epistemological background, this study is based on: (a) the existence of a worldsystem (WALLERSTEIN, 2001) on the dynamics of international cooperation and relations; (b) the understanding of diversity of development models MILANDO, 2005); (c) the knowledge plurality, sharing and integration (SANTOS, 2004, 2009); and (d) the understanding that Social Management (CARRION, 2009, 2012) may offer alternatives to the model for projects management of Decentralized International Cooperation. This research is characterized as exploratory and qualitative, and choosing the single case study, according to the characteristics of the object. In the data collection were used documentary sources (notices, reports, websites) and six semi-structured interviews with key actors involved in the Brazilian subproject. Short after, it was performed the content analysis on the data collected. It is highlighted that the results show that the project management is centralized, according to the rules of the European Union for the funding, which implies a different design of CID. Besides, the actors participation, although it is suggested to be autonomous, it actually configures a instrumental participation, as they are not conscious of all the decisions taken about the project. It was also possible to verify that the sharing and integration processes are limited, because there is little integration between the actors, since they are separated by the distance and they find difficulties to share their work. Furthermore, it was noticeable, subtly, the difference in the importance and role of the various participating countries in the project. Another emerging observation was about the need to prepare the universities to house projects with similar nature to this. In the CID context, this study has contributed to the discussion of the approximation of the Social Management and International Cooperation fields, and to what extent the precepts of an international cooperation project, which aim the ‘development’, are aligned with a more inclusive and transforming management view.
