Louis, Marieke. "La représentativité : une valeur pratique pour les organisations internationales : le cas de l'Organisation internationale du travail de 1919 à nos jours." Thesis, Paris, Institut d'études politiques, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014IEPP0044.
Full textIn the past two decades, the representativeness of international organisations has been at the heart of political debates on the reform of world governance institutions. Representativeness is key to the legitimacy of international organizations. It entails the fact of "representing well" but also constitutes a tool which the institutions use in order to make certain actors represent others. Building on empirical research on the International Labour Organisation (ILO) from 1919 to 2014, this work develops the concept of "practical value" to address the polysemous and ambivalent notion of representativeness. The case of the ILO is both particular and emblematic of the problems that representativeness poses today. Indeed, unlike the United Nations or Bretton Woods systems, the ILO, created in 1919, is the sole international organisation composed of government representatives and representatives from workers’ and employers’ unions (tripartite representation). Hence, the ILO is a particularly interesting case to study representativeness over the long term at the level of states and non-state actors. Methodologically, this work defends a socio-historical approach that gives a central place to actors’ conceptions about representativeness, while also analysing the way representational practices are objectivised through time

Full textToday, normative action of international maritime organization (I. M. O. ) can be interstood through an extended conception of the global process. This process includes graduelly three stades : the stade of conception, the stade of realization, the stade of execution. At the level of conception, I. M. Om has modified its structures and affirmed its cometences so that it can be adapted to new international situations. At the level of realization, I. M. O. Elabores, revises I. M. O. International conventions and cooperates with other international organizations. At the level of the execution, I. M. O. Practices a normative technique an enforces its regional cooperation to facilitate the application of the I. M. O conventions
Guérin, François. "La qualité de membre d'une organisation internationale." Paris 2, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA020043.
Full textA member state in an international organization is a party to a specific treaty, a constitutive treaty. In a national system of law, a loan agreement for example is a specific contract, characterized by its purpose, and the same classification is put forward for international treaties. Therefore, a member state is a party to a treaty, with its 'conventional' and 'institutional' components, i. E. Its usual and specific components. The following conventional components are studied: treaty-making, admission, accession, withdrawal (studying for those concepts both agreements and unilateral acts based on them), as well as legal entities entitled to membership, cases of state succession, invalidity of juridical acts, and some reservations. Institutional treaty components are defined so as to explain a different legal regime. Some are not specific to constitutive treaties: delectus personae is the basis of rules preventing succession to membership in international organizations, and might be the basis of a member state's right of withdrawal when there is no provision to that effect. The concept of non-correlative obligations is proposed as a substitute to the german concept of vereinbarung so as to explain the lack of a power of expulsion when there is no provision to that effect. Other elements are studied: inherent rights, principle that any institution is one and uniform and the consequences thereof, some reservations, amendments, insolvency, dissolution. The purpose of this study is to use a usual concept of national law, specific contracts, and to show its relevance in international law

Full textIn the first part of this dissertation I analyse upstream competition between integrated firms. I show that there can exist equilibria, in which one of the integrated firms supplies the upstream market at its monopoly upstream price, while its integrated rivais choose rationally to stay out of the market. These equilibria degrade both consumers' surplus and social welfare. They exist when final products are sufficiently close substitutes, or when firms compete in two-part tariffs on the upstream market. I propose several regulatory tools: I show that an upstream price cap, the vertical separation of an integrated firm, or the entry of an unintegrated upstream competitor can restore the competitiveness of the upstream market. This model can be applied to the analysis of wholesale markets in the telecommunications industry, and sheds some light on the recent merger wave which took place in the digital maps sector. The second part of the dissertation investigates the impact of the presence of trade unions in a sector on a country's exports, and on firms' location decisions. On this issue, the conventional wisdom seems to be the following: unions degrade firms' competitiveness, and a country's attractiveness to capital. I show that this reasoning does not necessarily hold for two reasons. First, this is an absolute advantage reasoning, not a comparative advantage one. Second, trade unions can increase their country's aggregate demand, and hence its attractiveness
Fine, Shoshana. "Bordering subjects, souls and states : an enquiry into "bordercratic" practices and rationalities in Turkey." Thesis, Paris, Institut d'études politiques, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016IEPP0004.
Full textThis doctoral thesis seeks to explore how bordering is performed in Turkey with respect to the governance of the ‘undesirables’, by whom, for whom, and with what effects. This enquiry argues that Turkey’s migration and refugee landscape has been problematised through its particular positionality as neither completely European nor completely non-European. This ambivalent positionality is partly due to the permeation of orientalist ways of seeing Turkey and the migrants and refugees who inhabit this landscape, and partly an effect of the courtship/compliance externalisation strategy of the EU. In taking the Turkey case, I argue that mobility governance has to be understood as a matter of diffuse power that is particularly vested in IGOs, but also in organisations that might be called peripheral bordercrats. I advance the notion of bordercracies, transnational bordercratic tribes and bordered objects to make sense of the workings, epistemic authority, connectivities and the agentic forces of this diffused power. I argue that bordercratic tribes rely on intermingling managerial, security, humanitarian and orientalist rationalities of mobility governance, which generate a filtering logic based on selections of desirable/undesirable. I conclude that the performative functions of transnational bordercratic tribes include as they bring Turkey into an in-group and exclude as they constitute and contain ‘undesirables’ away from the West
Suchatkulvit, Vandee. "La reglementation internationale du transport aerien : vers un nouvel ordre aeronautique international." Paris 1, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA010293.
Full textThe international air transport system, has been characterized, by protectionnist policies of states. These policies have had their roots in the principale of air space sovereignty and became the legal rule which was laid down in the paris convention of 1919 and was repeates in article 1 of the chicago convention of 1944. After the failure to prompt a multilateral exchange of rights of trafic, the bilateral treaty developed as the principal diplomatic and political vehicle for these trades. As objects of the purely bilateral exchange, the freedom of the air were concedes only on the defensive reciprocity. The problems facing international aviation create pressure for regulatory reform. There are several directions in which a new order of air transport international regulation may go. One approch is the development of regionalism. This approch is now put to the test in practice within the europen communities , where mulatiralisme regional replaced the bilateralisme between the member states. The regionalisme could formulate also a common aviation policy to apply between the region and other regions. Another approch, is that of a move towards multilateralism. Given the differing interests of countries around the world. The general agreement on trade in services is an exemple of how liberalisation of several trades can be achieved if they are all negotiated together. This approche could help to liberalize trade in air services

Full textMy thesis is about global value chains and international trade.Technological progress and lower communication costs have foster the fragmentation of the process of production across countries and sectors and the expansion of global value chains. This new organization led to major changes in international trade flows and a growing interconnectedness of economies.The objective of this thesis is to study the impact of the organization of global value chains on international trade either at the macroeconomic level (countries’ comparative advantages) or microeconomic (firm performances).This thesis is organized on three chapters. The first chapter assesses the impact of global value chains on the comparative advantages of countries based on value added trade data.In this first chapter, I investigate the organization of global value chains based on comparative advantages. I show that comparative advantages are different when computed using value added trade data compared to gross trade data, which leads to a different sectoral specialization in a global value chain. The identification of the determinants of comparative advantages shows the importance of the quality of institutions, its impact is greater than traditional factors like labor or capital.The two last chapters study global value chains through plants in the aircraft industry in France, in the region Midi-Pyrénées Aquitaine.The second chapter provides empirical evidence of the impact of outsourcing and its origin on plant level performance in the aircraft sector based on panel data from 2006 to 2011. Specifically, I study the impact of the localization of outsourcing and show that, in average, plants that outsource their activities both domestically and internationally exhibit a higher productivity level, compared to plants not outsourcing or outsourcing only domestically. Quantile regressions shows that this effect is higher for lower productive plants.The last chapter describes the impact of the 2007-2008 financial crisis on plants on the aircraft sector in France. I identify two types of plants, generic outsourcers, producing standardized goods, and contractual outsourcers, producing customized goods. I show that generic outsourcers were more resilient during the crisis than contractual ones. Digitization, which reduces coordination costs and exporting activities, which permits to diversify their markets, explain part of the resilience of generic outsourcers to the crisis impact
Amilien, Caroline. "Droit international et gestion durable des forêts tropicales." Aix-Marseille 3, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995AIX32004.
Full textInternational cooperation for sustainable management of tropical forests faces two obstacles. On the one hand, because of the principle of sovereignty over natural resources, international rules regarding forest management evolve slowly. To date, proposals for a convention on global forest have failed. Other conventions indirectly or sectorally applying to tropical forests are weak. Sovereignty over natural resources also explains enthousiasm for soft-law, which is adaptable. Programs, such as the tropical forestry action program, and statements are numerous, while binding principles are few and vague. On the other hand, the effectiveness of international instruments related to tropical forest conservation has been limited by development and trade policies. Since 1972, interdependence between environment and development is increasingly recognized by economic and financial institutions. However, reforms are often insufficient or uncomplete. In addition, conflicts among existing international policies remain numerous. Harmonization among international instruments, and collaboration among international organizations are required to reach a coherent and effective international system promoting tropical forest sustainable management

Full textThe development of the international protection of human rights reveals the importance taken by non-governmental organization (ngo) in the evolution of the international order. Ngos claim a right and a duty of intervention in the dealing of question relating to the defense of human rights. This claim is reinforced by the observer status they get in intergovernmental organizations (ngo). A general view of ngo movement permits to see the predominance of western world in facilitating the development of private associations. This fact certainly has an influence into the functioning of ngos engaged in human rights protection. Relations between ngos, ngos financial resources, their membership and their structure determine their modes of intervention in the field of human rights and their eficiency. In viewing the question through states and igos attitude and action in the field of human rights, the intervention of ngos can be globally perceived in two ways: these organizations cooperate with public institutions engaged in human rights actions or they are dedicated in denounciation of human rights violations. Generally, ngos participate to the formation of international norms and they cooperate with states and igos in their implementation. In their activitites of denounciation of human rights violations, ngos give importance to the sanction of public opinion: but, their aloso use intergovernmental petition systemsin force

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The norms governing international trade on the one hand, and sustainable development on the other, have both different origins and objectives. This is the central problem that will be addressed in this research assignment, by analysing the structure, functioning and future of the World Trade Organisation Dispute Settlement Mechanism (DSM). Though there has been a significant shift from politics to legality, the dispute settlement system is still far from perfect. When looking at recent environmental trade disputes, the stress placed on the system is revealed. •• The focus is on the impact of environmental disputes on the nature and functioning of the DSM, and how these disputes have contributed to the development of international trade law, and the concept of sustainable development. These will all contribute to a greater understanding of the interaction of the World Trade Organisation and the multilateral trading system, and the future role the WTO should play on the agenda for sustainable development.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die norme wat enersyds internasionale handel, en andersyds volhoubare ontwikkeling beheer, het uiteenlopende oorspronge en doelstellings. Hierdie is die sentrale probleem wat deur hierdie navorsingsverslag aangespreek word, te wete deur die struktuur, funksionering en toekoms van die Wereldhandelsorganisasie (WHO) Dispute Settlement Mechanism (DSM) te analiseer. Hierdie dispuutskikkingstelsel is nog steeds nie volmaak nie, ten spyte daarvan dat daar reeds 'n betekenisvolle verskuiwing van politiek tot wetlikheid plaasgevind het. As daar na onlangse omgewingshandelsdispute gekyk word, kom die druk wat op die stelsel geplaas word, duidelik na vore. Die fokus word dus met hierdie navorsingsverslag geplaas op die impak wat omgewingsdispute op die aard en funksionering van die DSM het, en hoe die dispute bygedra het tot die ontwikkeling van internasional handelswette asook op die konsep van volhoubare ontwikkeling. Hierdie fokus behoort by te dra tot 'n groter begrip tot die interaksie tussen die Wereldhandelsorganisasie (WHO) en die multilaterale handelstelsels, asook op die toekomstige rol wat die WHO behoort te speel met betrekking tot die agenda vir volhoubare ontwikkeling.

Full textThe object of our study was to redirect attention to the theoretical studies about the fixed income / bond markets that remain the most important ones in the financial market. The main reason for this is the innovation that takes place in the fixed income markets. The study of the fixed income market has provided evidence for the efficiency and the arbitrage strategies in the global fixed income market. The management of a fixed income portfolio becomes interesting if we add to this, the global opening of the fixed income markets. Our study was based on the opportunity that a fixed income portfolio manager has to obtain significant profits through adopting a strategy of global arbitrage. The globalization of fixed income markets has created new opportunities to the managers of fixed income portfolios. However, we need to take under consideration the exchange risk when it comes to international investments. This risk stems from the difference of the exchange rate between the time of purchase of a bond and the time that it is sold again. In any case, one needs to take into account the fact that, after performing all the tests, the global fixed income market is not efficient

Full textIn order to regulate the international civil navigation (air and maritime), the States have chosen to act through two specialized United Nations agencies. Hence they confered the International Civil Aviaton Organization (ICAO) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) the power to oversee the elaboration of technical rules relevant to this field. In general, the rules adopted by these organizations require various forms of States acceptance to be effective (i.e. express or implied, collective or individual forms). Their implementation depends on unilateral acts of States, that can sometimes act sometimes collectively. And the States are often amicably controlled by the ICAO or the IMO. Behind the apparent clarity, lay some gray areas. Beyond the situation of third and private individuals, and the relationship between international order and national legal systems, one can wonder about the nature of these normative institutions. These could be perceived as normative authorities acting on the basis of an established power. However, this interpretation would ignore the incessant game of States’ will. Whenever the will of the States stretches the power of the institution, the irreducible constituent and contractual freedom of the States appears. The degree of centralization of these systems would be blurred by the observation that their effectiveness depends on the willingness itself of their subjects, which is more or less held by technical necessities, and that would not be without practical consequences

Full textThis doctoral thesis is an intellectual contribution to the analysis of the unquestionable, process of internationalization of public health policies. Starting from a precise and even narrow point—the transition from “health education” to “health promotion” in the discourses and practices put forward by the World Health Organization (WHO)—we retrace the historical and political representations that shape public health-related policies at the international level. This interdisciplinary work, at the crossroad of the history of ideas and the international public policies analysis, is based on an innovating methodology which articulates an intellectual and empirical research to the analysis of the history and the functions of the WHO.This history is one of knowledge intertwining with games of power and institutional processes in shifting contexts. Starting with the emergence as early as the XVIIIth century of health education as a strategy for changing personal behaviors and its inclusion far later in the WHO structure, we move to the question of (international) public (health) policies transformations. The progressive affirmation of health promotion in the 1980’s reflects how WHO instances reframed the meaning of their work, when confronted to the tensions provoked by the shifting balance of well-established conceptions, and how they modified their discourse and their practice in order to keep or acquire a capacity to influence public action.. Above all, our research shows that (international) public health policies are today characterized by a attempt to combine—in a context of complexified issues and increased heterogeneity in knowledge as well as of a greater number of stakeholders in public health (action)—an array of legitimizing discourses ranging from the defense of individual freedom and the need for collective action on behalf of health as a “common good” to (individual and collective) strategies of action that are not only different but often conflicting

Full textYet, the lack of multilateral trade regulations regarding the protection of workers' rights brings a normative creation from state and non-state participants. Indeed, in a conventional context (both bilateral and regional trade agreements) or unilateral (the generalized system of preferences) some states combine trade with the respect for work standards. In addition, what is new is the emergence of private standards (codes of conduct) in companies and in nongovernmental organizations (fair trade projects) which aim to protect some workers' rights. The failure to add a "social clause" to the Agreements of the World Trade Organization when it was created in 1994 as well as the wide variety of those "social clauses" led to the adoption, during the 1998 and the 2008 International Work Conferences, of two promotional normative instruments which reminded governments to respect fundamental principles and rights at work. The respect for this base of universal rights seems to be the result of the state' s intervention and cooperation with the International Labour Organization. The implementation of various "social clauses" is the result of binding and incentive legal mechanisms as well as the role of state and non-state participants. What is really at stake here is the protection of workers' fondamental rights by the new international economic order

Full textThe idea of francophony (“ la Ffrancophonie”) is linked with many questions and disciplines and there seem to be no limits to its literary, linguistic, political or organisational applications. The main object of this thesis is therefore to try and define it as accurately as possible while taking into account its multiple dimensions, from the word itself through the symbolism of the concept to the institution. With this –widened- definition as a starting point,” francophony” (“la francophonie”) can be considered as an object of research in communication and information sciences, as well as a subject that has its own existence in the eyes of the French media. The analysis of the media coverage of “francophony” in the French national daily newspapers and TV news rests on the notion of “event” and on a semiotic study of the image It allows to narrow a many-sided phenomenon down to a single homogeneous one by reducing it to its biennal event- the Francophonie Summit. The thesis then focuses on the agents of “francophony” (individuals, artists or institutions) as they are presented in the media: on what is at stake, on how conflicting forces and alliances appear and fluctuate according to a structural semiotic logic. Progressively, the question of “francophony” meets with that of the French identity, and the thesis ends on the ambiguous aspect of their connection

An assessment of the influences and impacts of development NGOs reveal that in spite of their diverse and resourceful nature, NGOs working in the field of advocacy tend to predominantly have incrementalist influences. These influences, being predominantly short term in nature, do have long term implications for public policy in developing countries. Well resourced NGO networks , historically rooted in the missionary movement of the post Second World War period have succeeded in firmly establishing themselves in the body politic of poor Africa countries.

Full textAttribution in the law of international responsibility is the body of rules which determines which behaviour of private persons may be regarded as an act of a subject of international law. This topic recently underwent important developments, in particular the questions of relations between a State and de facto agents or organs and of the responsibility of international organizations. International responsibility was dealt with by the International Law Commission and international courts, whose case-law gave rise to discrepancies exemplifying the difficulty in taking into account the diversity of States ways of acting. The topic of responsibility of international organizations requires studying specific questions, such as the mutual relations of control and power between the organization and its member states. These relations have consequences on the responsibility of international organizations and of the member states due to behaviour attributable to the organization. The topic of attribution implies to determine precisely which subject of international law has to answer for an internationally wrongful act. It is necessary to go beyond the mere attribution of facts and to consider the attribution of responsibility, in particular in the case of responsibility of international organizations. Indeed, international organizations and their member states frequently act through one another and thus, it is necessary to find out which subject answers for internationally wrongful acts

Full textIn a rapidly changing context, organizations need to develop new strategies to seize global business opportunities. Based on the Uppsala evolution model and the business network view, this doctoral dissertation focuses on the development of networks in international organizations. Following the micro-foundations theory, we consider two levels of analysis to better understand the interplay between the organization and its members in the network evolution process. We developed a single case study conducted at ONLYLYON, an organization aiming to promote the city of Lyon worldwide through a large network of individuals called the “ambassador network”. Using an intervention research approach, we co-constructed with the organization a research project which aims to develop the ambassador network. The empirical study is based on 36 interviews (five exploratory and 31 semi-structured interviews), 103 participant observations performed over a period of 30 months and secondary data. Our findings highlight the role played by individuals in developing networks for organizations. They emphasize the importance of creating a network allowing organizations and individuals to develop opportunities. We propose an evolution path to (1) create the ONLYLYON ambassador network in Italy and (2) develop an international “network of networks”. Both paths include a set of managerial propositions and are based on three steps: (1) establishing, (2) structuring or restructuring, and (3) growing the network. We also elaborate a model to study the interaction between an organization and its members in the process of network development. This intervention research can help ONLYLYON in developing its international networks by implementing strategic actions. It also contributes to the development of the Uppsala evolution model and the debate on the importance of micro-foundations in management research

Full textFormerly centered on the State, international public law is gradually transforming into a common law of globalization. The WTO comes to hustle the configuration of the international institutional matrix, articulated around the United nations. Equipped with an unprecedented dispute settlement mechanism, it has the means to inflect the development of all branches of public international law. Does it contribute to the acceleration of international law's material and institutional fragmentations, or is it on the contrary the vector of a greater coherence? Will the WTO impose a commercial approach to global governance, allow us to seize the evolution of an international law oscillating between contradictions. The comprehension of the changes induced by globalization requires a holistic approach of law and governance. In such an endeavor, the WTO presents itself as an ideal benchmark

Full textPackaging has a major impact on the activities performed in a logistical value chain. Packaging can improve or decrease the efficiency of the outbound logistics process. It is therefore important to consider the activities and the value that they add to the overall process. ROL International is a Swedish store interior manufacturer that design, produce and distribute their products on a global basis. One of their basic products is the shelf concept. ROL wants to improve their efficiency and consider a change in the packaging method for the shelf concept. Two alternative packaging methods have been suggested and ROL want to know if either of the two alternatives would result in increased efficiency.
The purpose of this report is to evaluate the two packaging alternatives and their impact on the activities connected to the outbound logistics at ROL International.
Since the study was conducted at request from ROL International, it is considered as a qualitative single case study. Observations, mainly at ROL’s warehouse but also through an observation at one customer’s premises, were used for determination of the activities included throughout the studied process. In addition to the observations, interviews were conducted with key persons concerned with the effects of a change in packaging method. Secondary data in form of order and shelf statistics were important for the study due to its impact on the frequency in which the studied activities are performed.
The study found that neither of the two suggested packaging alternatives are suitable for implementation in the present situation. This is mainly because of the increase in activities needed to perform the packaging of shelves, which would result in increased cost that cannot be justified through enhanced customer service and higher quality. More-over, the study also found that the current process for picking customer orders are ineffi-cient and might require a restructuring of the warehouse operation in order to become more efficient.
