Full textConceived of in many ways, the topic of income inequality opposes neoclassical economists, who publish empirical studies supporting regional convergence, to human geographers, who recurrently marshal evidence for regional divergence. Applied to the United States, the dissertation presents the construction of a new homogeneous set of panel data by state cross-sections and annually from 1913 to 2003, using the Statistics of Income publications by the U. S. Internal Revenue Service. This database represents well the top 10 percent of the income distribution, but data from other sources are needed to account for average income. Meanwhile, the top decile database offers an alternative to average income figures used by Barro and Sala-i-Martin to study the same topic. In order to address the issue of income convergence across the United States over the long-run, three types of convergence are distinguished: 1) the ? convergence, 2) the ? convergence, and 3) the convergence of top incomes towards the lower decile of the income distribution. As regards the ? convergence, evidence supporting convergence is stronger within the top decile than among average incomes across states. Moreover, income inequality is positively correlated to average income, and negatively correlated to economic growth rates. The ? convergence features a declining trend for state average incomes and the income of the top percentile. Finally, the estimation of the full income distribution provides a measure of the inequality gap between the lower and upper deciles of the income distribution from 1965 to 2003, based on the hypothesis that the functional form of the Lorenz curve fits the Pareto distribution

Full textThe notion of "fluidity of law" illuminates how the law in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) may change influencing what constitute a right serving the purpose of protecting national interest, continuing the rule of the rulers and protecting the interests of the citizens versus non-citizens in an Arab-Muslim setting. Equally important, this contextual law is just according to the idea of justice in Islamic law emphasizing the importance of knowing the local context before making moral judgements. On the international level, the UAE government has consented to certain core human rights treaties creating legal obligations domestically. But, the state's reservations to consented treaties and lack of clarity about the status of treaties in local law and courts creates uncertainty about implementation of treaty obligations. On the local level, a diversity of legal sources with Islamic law as primary source of law with its four interpretations in Sunni Islam, a non-transparent legislative and court system, three parallel court systems and persona! status law distinguishing citizens from non-citizens make it challenging to predict what the law may be. Furthermore, the notions of private and public in law are in constant flux in the jurisdiction indicating how what appears to be private might be public in intimate relations and how to be private in public domains through defamation legislation. Finally, this work shows how the authorities have established a system of control of rights based on traditional tribal organizations through a license system in law of rights in several spheres of society. This system of license creates hierarchy of rights, control of exercise of rights and at times outsources monitoring of other unacceptable behaviour. The sphere of expressions is examined in detail in this work as the regional upheavals in 2011 resulted in more legislation beyond licensing to protect the stability of the rulers. However, what the law is on the ground is also affected by local interpretations of rights and this will be illustrated through the right to education. Additionally, the license system in employment of non-citizens is based on a fusion between the interests of the authorities and citizens creating a system where citizens may willingly monitor non-citizens on behalf of the state. Against the backdrop of growing economic success in the UAE, outsiders were questioning the price of the boom resulting in attention from human rights activists and media. But, the government quickly learnt how to use its license system to protect itself by establishing a front organization to retaliate on its behalf. Other organizations with links to the authorities would appear. On the back of growing influence of the state, the authorities changed its way of responding to the view of outsiders on its law and rights. Foreign aid provided the state with status and influence as a humanitarian state making it harder to question the fluidity of law in the jurisdiction. While the unpredictable nature of the law in the UAE might seem chaotic from the outside and on the ground, I argue that the fluidity of law legitimises the state and makes it resilient

Full textIn the US, thousands even millions of people suffer from personal injuries because they use a defective medical product; this is referred as a mass tort. The class action procedure is often used in order to repair these personal injuries. Plaintiffs always ask for the use of this procedure, but the federal American courts always refuse the certification of the class because the conditions of Rule 23(b)(3) are not fulfilled. This is what is called "the new trend of American courts".
The non application of the class action procedure leads to terrible results; victims of a defective medical product cannot receive compensation for the injury they are suffering from. These victims choose the class action procedure because of its advantages, if the class action is not certified they won't sue individually. If the real problem was the non respect of Rule 23(b)(3)'s conditions, a modification or a reform of the Rule would have been done. Unfortunately the laxity of the federal judges tends to influence the American Congress who ignores the need for a reform of this rule. This makes us wonder what the real justifications motivating this refusal of certification are.

Full textThe Persian Gulf occupies a “paradoxal centrality” in American foreign policy as it is at the heart of the United States’ strategic and economic interests in the Middle East. The 1945 Quincy Agreement which aimed at securing access to Saudi oil ensured enduring U.S. presence in the region -- a presence that has grown in importance since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Today, the strategic, security and economic interests at stake have made the United States the leading foreign power in the region. While the 9/11 attacks and the American invasion of Iraq had already made the Middle East Washington’s major concern, the United States has had to reinforce its presence to face the conflicts and destabilization that resulted from the Arab Spring. If Washington had dreamt of a “pivot to East Asia”, it finds itself “imprisoned” in the Persian Gulf region, forced as it is to drag its heavy “ball of sand and oil”. American firms have consolidated their presence in the region since the 1990s thanks to huge contracts and their role in the process of transition of regional economies. For them, these markets represent major growth opportunities. What tools has Washington created over the years to support and stimulate American exports? How did U.S. policies strengthen U.S. firms’ market shares in Washington’s regional allies? Can we define an American model that could inspire European economies? Here are the questions this dissertation tries to answer. To do so it analyzes the “machinery” of U.S. foreign economic policy, its environment and the evolution from 1989 to 2014
Christin, Angèle. "Clicks or Pulitzer ? : Web Journalists and their Work in the United States and France." Paris, EHESS, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014EHES0083.
Full textThe internet is transforming journalism in many ways. Yet one of the most fundamental differences between print and online news is the multiplication of internet metrics : web journalists now receive a constant stream of quantitative information about the online popularity of their work. Does quantification always foster standardization? This dissertation argues instead that metrics take on radically different meanings when they travel between countries. Focusing on the case of online news, I compare the reception of web analytics in tv countries, the United States and France, which have different journalistic traditions and relations to market forces. Drawing on ethnographic analysis of a pair of news websites in the United States and France, as well as quantitative material, I find that web journalists in both countries are faced with conflicting definitions of journalistic value. Traditional "editorial" evaluation based on peer judgment is at odds with "click-based" evaluation, which focuses on the number of page views. In spite of these commonalities, American and French journalists manage the tension between qualitative and quantitative evaluations in different ways. At the U. S. Website, journalists distinguish sharply between editorial and click-based modes of evaluation. In contrast, LaPlace's journalists constantly switch back and forth between qualitative and quantitative criteria of value. These differences between the American and French news organizations can be analyzed as distinct "arrangements" between modes of evaluation. Such arrangements stem from the respective trajectories and structures of the American and French journalistic fields

Full textFrom its inception, intermodal transport of goods has served trade, shippers and carriers, radically increasing transactions of goods worldwide. Multimodal carrier liability rules, however, have not evolved with the same rhythm and remain fragmented cross-modally and cross-country. This is also the case of the U. S. And Canada. The need to seek uniformity of applicable rules in these two countries led us to the comparative analysis of unimodal (land-ocean) rules in these two countries. Guided by past failed initiatives (1980 United Nations Convention on International Multimodal Transport), the European intermodal reality, transport deregulation, pragmatism, fairness in the relation between the carrier and the shipper and Law & Economics principles, we used harmonization, codification and contractualism in advancing our suggestions on uniform multimodal carrier liability rules

Full textThis dissertation focuses on new paths of immigrant incorporation and on the political mobilization of undocumented youths in the New York-New Jersey area. The goal of this investigation is to assess whether contrasting state laws that either open or restrict eligibility for in-state tuition are associated with different levels of belonging and different styles of organizing among immigrant youths. This research draws from theories on political incorporation and a resource mobilization model of collective action. It also builds on theories of policy design highlighting the role of policy images in immigration reform. The contrasting cases of state-level policy in New York and New Jersey provide for an investigation into an important level of government that has largely been missing from the debate on comprehensive immigration reform. The dissertation relies on an innovative mixed-methods approach, collecting both quantitative data from a survey and qualitative data from sixty in-depth interviews. Results indicate that undocumented youths tend to become mobilized in states which provide more restrictive contexts of reception, and where the coalition of support is still being recruited. However, state laws affecting access to college do shape the availability of political and civic resources for immigrant youths. This dissertation highlights the importance of place in immigrants’ paths of incorporation into the United States, as well as the role of policy narratives in fostering or deterring political engagement. The results will help policymakers better understand the contexts of reception which public policies create for young immigrants

Full textBuilding of Peter Gourevitch's framework, which evaluates the impact of international crises on domestic politics, the thesis focuses on five possible factors that could explain the free trade outcome. Firstly, constraints and opportunities arising from the international system are assessed to evaluate if the government might have adopted the FTA to protect the "raison d'Etat": it rather appears that it is through the mediation of social actors that the post 1970 international crisis was felt. Secondly, a sectorial analysis finds that two coalitions, each one with two sets of preferences, were opposed on the FTA issue. Thirdly, the role of intermediate associations (business groups, unions and farmers associations) is assessed to see if their impact went beyond the sectorial interest they defended. Fourthly, the influence of economic ideologies is analyzed. Fifthly, the state structure is taken into account to show essentially that the Mulroney government had a double and complementary agenda with the FTA and the Meech Lake negotiations, both of which had a degree of independence from domestic economic and social pressures.

Full textSituations of population contact imply social, cultural and linguistic dynamics from which the protagonists never remain unscathed. This is the case of Hispanics in the United States, whose contact with the US culture favored the development of a mixed culture and a linguistic phenomenon known as Spanglish. Spanglish evokes concurrently linguistic, social, cultural and political questions and the purpose of the present work is to elucidate its implications in linguistics. This study focuses on transfers from English into United States Spanish, and on how these variations obey the system’s parameters. The present analysis is the latest in a series of linguistic studies focused on the oneness of the sign. It is based on the principle that variations that appeared in United States Spanish are significant ; their emergence reveals the system’s inherent dynamics and challenges the immutable nature of the cultural and linguistic factors that define the Hispanic civilization
Kellala, Chafik. "Citoyenneté, immigration et politique sociale aux Émirats Arabes Unis." Thesis, Université Grenoble Alpes (ComUE), 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017GREAH043.
Full textOur thesis aims to contribute to the scientific research on South-South immigration which has been the subject of few studies, taking the case of one of the few countries in the world (the United Arab Emirates) where immigrants are a minority (Over 85% of the population). The objectif is to provide reflection on the theoretical debates about the intrinsic links between citizenship, immigration and social policy, by examining the following issues: do the political elites in the UAE rely on prior conceptions of citizenship during social policies processus? Social policies aim the integration of immigrants into the political community? How can we explain the difference in social rights granted to citizens and immigrants?Dating from independence in 1971 and the establishment of the federal system including seven emirates (1973), UAE citizenship has a relatively recent past and must always overcome the tribal feelings that determine the real structures of power and social status. Like other Gulf countries, the UAE draws a legal and clear distinction between ethnic citizens and naturalized citizens whose status can be passed to children, a distinction reflecting the leaders fears of losing the identity of the country. As a result, citizenship in the EA.U doesn’t have the same Western understanding with its egalitarian and participatory dimensions, given that immigrant populations don’t have political rights and a broad access to social rights and privileges unlike nationals

Full textThis study of the history of American defense spending policy in the 1990s combines local economic development, national budget debates and international strategy to discuss the planning and management of the post-Cold War defense drawdown. For over 40 years during the Cold War, the primary justification for historically high levels of American defense spending was the threat of military conflict with the Soviet Union. Between 1989 and 1991, that existential threat effectively disappeared, creating expectations within the United States that funds previously dedicated to defense could be applied to domestic needs. Calls for this “peace dividend” were increased by an ongoing economic recession. However, by the end of the 1990s, the lowest the defense budget would fall was merely equal to the Cold War average level of spending. This doctoral project documents the primary political reasons for the continuation of historically high defense budgets during the post-Cold War period (1989-2001) and the related decisions about managing defense spending, defense policy, economic development and industrial policy in the context of this post-war drawdown

Full textThis dissertation asks how and why american and french decision-makers—and those striving to persuade them-use specific kinds of "experts" and "expertise" when debating if same-sex couples should have the right (or not) to marry and found families. To answer these questions, I analyze archival, interview, and ethnographic data to study "expertise"—conceived broadly—in media, legislative, and judicial debates on the U. S. State, U. S. Federal, french, and european levels from 1990 to 2013. I find that, despite addressing the same issues, decision-makers draw on divergent categories of "experts" mobilizing types of knowledge that follow systematic cross-national patterns. For instance, french institutions hear professors and intellectuals who discuss gay family rights in the abstract while U. S. Institutions hear ordinary citizens whose lived experiences ground academic testimony. Furthermore, some "expertise", such as economics in the U. S. Or psychoanalysis in France, is pervasive in one context but absent in the other. I argue that nationally specific patterns in "expertise" are due to embedded institutional logics, legal structures, and knowledge production fields that impact how information is produced, made available, and rendered legitimate nationally and historically

Full textThis dissertation examines the relationship between historians and economists in the United States from the 1880s to the 1990s. Using archival materials, it reconsiders the hypothesis that history and economics became estranged from each other as the latter became more mathematized and rose to the top of the hierarchy of the social science disciplines. To this end, the dissertation studies the changing relationship between the two disciplines, identifying periods of interdisciplinary cooperation, isolation, and conflict. Putting historians on the same footing as economists, the dissertation enriches our understanding of their relationships in three respects. First, it is shown that the interactions between history and economics shifted with their positions in the hierarchy of the sciences. Secondly, it appears that the boundary between history and economics has been shaped by conflicts over scientific method and contested by the circulation of ideas, as exemplified by the field of economic history. Finally, it is argued that the emergence and decline of schools of thought in history and economics have impacted their relationship.The dissertation begins with showing that the conflict of the methods played a crucial role in establishing the disciplinary boundary between history and economics (Chapter I). It then demonstrates that the flow of ideas between the two disciplines in the early twentieth century was unidirectional and significant, with progressive historians borrowing the theory of economic determinism from Marxist-inspired economists and modifying it in the process (Chapter II). The third chapter, focused on the relationship between neoclassical economists and economic historians, highlights a significant deterioration in their relations between the beginning of the interwar period and the end of the 1950s. It shows that a period of mutual indifference was followed by a period of conflict over the determinants of economic growth. Chapter IV deals with the consequences of the rise of cliometrics on the relationship between history and economics from the early 1960s to the late 1980s. That rise led to the "dehumanization" of economic history and the establishment of a one-sided relationship between economic history and neoclassical economics, which in turn provoked a recruitment crisis. Finally, Chapter V considers the influence of economic history on development economics and development policy through the lenses of economic historian Douglass North's (1920-2015) career. It concludes that North's historical research has played an important role in the renewal of institutional and historical approaches to the problems of economic development

Full textDisasters are produced by a vigorous mankind interaction with nature. Social and economic development are major contributors to increasing disasters' vulnerability, Regardless of its various motivators, human beings have sought methods to minimize its devastating effects. Therefore, studying risks associated to natural and non-natural disasters provides means that could be utilized in the forecasting and management of risks on both natural and non-natural sides. This research aims to analyze how disaster risk management process has been built in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirate, by the different stakeholders in charge whether on public or private actors. The UAE vulnerability to disasters is increasing with the huge development industrial activities taking place at the present. Furthermore, tectonic and weather related disasters are becoming very common in the UAE. Different types of disasters affect the UAE population and stretch the government and inter- agency resources as they all respond to the emergencies. The study came across many conclusions in regards to UAE continuous system of risk assessment and risk management. Many recommendations are listed for further investigation and implementation Finally, the national and regional emergency procedures are key factors to mitigate or increase disasters' impact on regions
Batut-Lucas, Katia. "Le sionisme chrétien contemporain aux États-Unis : entre religion et politique." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014BOR30056.
Full textThis doctoral thesis deals with Christian Zionism, and more precisely with pastor John Hagee, the members of his organization (Christians United For Israel - CUFI) and his assembly, Cornerstone Church. This movement gathers fundamentalist Evangelicals who literally obey Genesis 12: 3, which says it is necessary to bless Israel to be blessed in return. They believe that the return of the Jews to the Holy Land, the creation of the State of Israel (1948) and the conquest of Jerusalem (1967) are forewarning signs of the Second coming of Jesus Christ confirming the prophecies from the New Testament and the Old Testament. CUFI has one message for the nation of America, and also for humanity. Their message must be communicated in defense of the State of Israel and the Jews. This explains how the Christian Zionist movement, which is not a recent one, aims for reaching its ultimate objective of national influence by constantly changing its techniques along with employing progressive strategies. The question deals with the relationship between religion and politics. The research follows the progression of Hagee and his groups from the religious sphere to political engagement, and the factors that are the origins of this passage. We will see how these Christians, who are influenced by a background that is political, millenarist and prophetic, become religious actors in the political arena. Moreover, we concentrated on pro-Israel Evangelical literature, in addition to making a field study along with observations and interviews. During the field trips, the individual, as a pro-Israel Evangelical, his own experience, and his relation to religion and Israel was our focus. Finally, this thesis provides an interdisciplinary perspective between religious studies and American studies

Full textTheir diversity notwithstanding, two cultural traits set Muslims apart from other immigrants with similar ethnic and social backgrounds: the special value given by Islam to migration (hijra) and work. The latter cultural characteristic was noticed in the first Muslim workers to reach America in the days of slavery. Islam resurfaced during the Great Migration, when Blacks invented their own version of it in Northern cities, and surged after 1965, as a consequence of changes in both immigration laws and Black culture, which brought about complex relationships between America and its Muslims, in the shadow of international issues. This has raised a series of highly publicized workplace related issues when religious and work norms clashed, which must be set in the context of the diversity of American Muslims ethnic, educational, geographic and occupational characteristics, the evolution of workplace legislation and changes in American representations of Muslims. While Islam is as diverse as other religions, it has coherence: Islam’s conception of work is closely related to the role of women in the labor force, specific occupational characteristics and economic norms governing financial transactions. In the era of globalization, the classical issues of brain drain, brain gain and workers remittances also need to be addressed in a specific way when dealing with Muslims

By establishing the CIA in 1947 and the NSA in 1952, President Harry S. Truman laid the foundations of an intelligence community that would grow throughout the Cold War and beyond. The institutionalization of intelligence, which involved many bureaucratic players, both civilian and military, faced numerous hurddles highlighting the inner workings of the U.S. state apparatus as well as American democratic traditions. Based on a large amount of recently declassified archival material, this dissertation aims to identify the players and dynamics involved in the reorganization carried out by the Truman Administration. It also seeks to assess their impact on the formation of an intelligence apparatus and on how it operated from 1945 to 1953. Firstly, this study illustrates how the intelligence overhaul was influenced by the unification of the armed forces which lead to the emergence of the national security concept in 1947. It then shows how the principles of coordination and collective decision-making implied by the National Security Act hampered the development of an integrated intelligence apparatus. Lastly, it explains how the deteriorating international situation, symbolized by the start of the Korean War in 1950, prompted an uneven streamlining of intelligence activities

Full textThis dissertation focuses on the United States' perception of Canadian nationalism under the Liberal governments of Lester Bowles Pearson (1963-‐68) and Pierre Elliott Trudeau (1968-‐79/1980-‐84). Various forms of Canadian nationalism are looked at from Washington's perspective and seen as a potential factorin U.S./ Canadian relations. Under Pearson's government, Washington and Ottawa defended their economic interests and worked hard to improve cooperation partly as a response to Canadian nationalism. Then the Nixon administration (1968-‐74) took a series of economic and monetary measures that encouraged the Trudeau government to take action in order to reduce the vulnerability of the Canadian economy, deemed too dependent on its neighbour's. The Third Option policies contributed to legitimizing and reinforcing the role of the federal government, which helped shape national identity. Studying how Washington saw Canadian nationalism demonstrates that the U.S./ Canadian relationship matured over twenty years. If Washington defended its national interests and Ottawa sought an independent path, consultations till increased between the two countries

Full textOn September 12, 2002, George Bush during a speech at the United Nations General Assembly seized the opportunity to submit the Security Council and expose to the International Community his worries concerning Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction. Dictated by election requirements, referring to the United Nations was imposed on the White House because of failing neo-conservative propaganda convincing the public opinion of need for war in Iraq. This was supposed to give body to the upcoming presidential campaign’s concept of “war against terrorism”, the White House had decided to lean on the United Nations credibility and legitimacy to re-launch propaganda and disguise an illegal war into an act of self defence, by keeping the decision of war secret.The International Community was not fooled by or accomplice of this trick, but the weight of the trans-Atlantic relationship forbade the United Kingdom to set itself apart from the United States and for France to use its right to veto against its allies. These contradictions explain the 2003 Security Council crisis, where, by disagreeing the western governments faced one another on the necessity of a second resolution authorizing war.This crisis was not without consequences, for Bush’s administration or for the International Community and even so for the United Nations, since being stuck in Iraq, the United States obtained several resolutions from the Security Council without questioning their unilateralism. Being in an awkward position, the International Organisation was targeted and its headquarters in Iraq destroyed. In the chaos in the aftermath of the war, the neo-conservative administration was obliged, under electoral pressure, to give up its unilateral attitude, and let the Unieted Nations politically resolve the conflict

Full textThis thesis entitled "Evolving inflation persistence : a comparative analysis between the Euro area and the United States" intends to carry out a deep evaluation on inflation dynamics in the Euro area and the United States, with a particular focus on its persistence and link with the output gap. These concepts are key elements in the monetary transmission mechanism and important determinants for the success of monetary policy in maintaining a stable level of output and inflation simultaneously. The term of persistence have been assigned several definitions in the literature. Now, the most useful definition is certainly the one showing the most relevance for the evaluation and conduct of optimal monetary policy. Inflation persistence is then defined as the tendency of inflation to converge slowly (or sluggishly) towards its long run value following various shocks. Broadly speaking, four sources of inflation persistence can be distinguished : (i) persistence in the output gap fluctuatins ("extrinsic persistence"), (ii) dependance on the past inflation due to the price setting mechanism (intrensic persistence"), (iii) persistence due to the formation of inflation expectations ("expectations-based-persistence") and (iv) persistence of economic shocks. This thesis intends to estimate jointly and/or separately each of thoses determinants

Full textCette hypothèse nous a mené à articuler notre travail autour de trois axes de recherche :le premier portant sur la théorie politique internationale, le second sur le débat idéologique autour de la politique étrangère et le troisième sur les institutions de prise de décision et de mise en œuvre de cette politique étrangère. Ces trois axes sont reliés par les idées qui forment la structure intellectuelle des débats entre les acteurs ainsi que les déterminants de la création institutionnelle.
C’est là le cœur de notre thèse. En faisant appel à la méthodologie originale développée par Pierre Rosanvallon, qu’il décrit comme une histoire conceptuelle du politique, nous avons tout d’abord procédé à une étude du cadre intellectuel de la révolution américaine en mettant en lumière les évolutions des concepts-clefs de la philosophie des relations internationales par une analyse de la contribution de Montesquieu à la théorie politique internationale.
La thèse porte ensuite sur les débats révolutionnaires, la tension entre les idéologies des Lumières telles qu’illustrées par la pensée de Montesquieu et le désir d’expansion territoriale ou de grandeur des acteurs de la révolution. Nous avons choisi de consacrer notre étude aux élites, non pas que nous ne considérions pas l’histoire sociale digne d’intérêt mais nous avons postulé que dans cette phase de bouleversement politique, ce sont les élites politiques qui ont joué le rôle déterminant. Enfin, la troisième partie de la thèse consiste en une étude du cadre constitutionnel, législatif et institutionnel de la politique étrangère républicaine issue de l’interaction entre la structure intellectuelle des Lumières et son interprétation par les acteurs.
Ainsi, notre analyse des idées, des acteurs et des institutions de la république américaine nous a permis de contribuer d’une part à la théorie des relations internationales en mettant en lumière les évolutions des concepts-clefs de la politique internationale au cours du 18ème siècle et d’autre part à l’histoire des idées politiques en étendant son champ aux questions internationales. Cela nous a permis également de mettre en lumière le lien étroit entre la structure idéelle, les intérêts et les stratégies des acteurs et la création des institutions politiques.

Full textThe concept and justiciability of social and economic rights in the specific US legal field has never been studied by the French legal doctrine, with the exception of short comparative studies. We see the American legal field as largely aversive to the recognition of the so-called “social rights”. However, when we consider social rights guarantee, American law offers weak but very original perspectives. And the American legal doctrine offers many ways to consider social rights guarantee in the field of Common law. To better appreciate social rights, we need to distinguish two different timeline in American legal history which has influenced the creation and spreading of social rights. First timeline is Franklin Roosevelt New Deal in the 30's, second timeline is Warren court judicial activism against segregation starting in the 50's, joined by Johnson War on poverty the following decade. By dealing with social and economic regulation, these two timelines offers two antagonistic conceptions of social rights. The first conception goes back to the New Deal era. It focuses on the emancipation of worker's rights, and social insurance. That conception implies the exclusive responsibility of legislative branch to make such a social legislation. The second conception goes back mainly to Warren court era and Johnson presidency. That conception implies the protection of the minorities who didn't get access to New Deal reforms because of segregation laws at that time . It is the responsibility of the Supreme Court to put them back into the Welfare State. That specific two channels conception of social rights gave birth to a specific conceptual duality which prevents any possibility to conceive a whole theory of social rights guarantee in US legal doctrine. That conceptual duality is interesting tough, as it permits to better consider doctrinal debates about justiciability of social rights. US legal doctrines focused on two mains debates according to social rights. The first one is the problem of indeterminacy. It implies social rights as a history related and dynamic kind of law, condemning most theories based on moral transcendent principles of justice. The second is the problem of court capability for enforcing such kind of rights. It focuses on a broader debate about the Judicial review model, and the separation of powers between courts and legislative branch. The conceptual duality of social rights made their guarantee strongly contingent of the political process. Social rights guarantee depend on the background social project which put them into reality. That perspective made the basic idea of guarantee a non sense in the case of social rights, but stay as the best tool to better appreciate their evolution and the needs they fulfill

Full textIn 2013, the economy of the United Arab Emirates is still far to be entirely dependent from the exploitation of hydrocarbons. The thesis proposes to study, in the global context, the development of the emirates economy, the methods of elaboration and implementation of this sustainable development policy, which appears indispensable for the pursuit of growth. On the other hand, the environmental conditions of these urban Gulf societies, established on fragile coastlines or in desert territories, make it necessary to respect natural balances whose destruction could render harmful the pursuit of development. In addition, the exploitation of hydrocarbon reserves must now support the diversification of the economy by promoting economic sectors to transform energy into marketing products. The issue tackled by the research focuses on the context in which, within the societies of the various emirates that constitute the federation, the conditions for the establishment of sustainable development can be created. It is about questioning the forces that can support sustainable development policies and support the investments needed to achieve this ambition. The work will consist in proposing an analysis of the current economic dynamics, the differences between the various emirates and the different sectors in each emirate, and to study the perspectives for the realization of the sustainable development policies as they are projected today in the strategic, general or sectorial planning documents
Jeanne, Aimée. "L'intégration négative des marchés aux Etats-Unis et dans l'Union Européenne." Thesis, Paris 1, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA010288/document.
Full textThe establishment of an internal market results, in legal terms, from a dual mechanism: a mechanism of negative integration and a mechanism of positive integration. Negative integration refers to the prohibition addressed to the States and their local authorities, ta impede interstate movement of goods, persons, service and capital. The U.S. Constitution and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union contain provision allowing the integration of state markets. The Supreme Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union have played, in this context, a major role in specifying the meaning ta be given ta these provisions. They have in this regard, developed a similar framework to identify measures that are likely to restrict freedom of movement and ta examine whether such measures could be justified by a legitimate interest of the States. They way left to the States differs, however, substantially since the goals of negative integration are only partially identical. American case law is, indeed, essentially based on the anti-protectionist doctrine while F.U case law is based on a more dynamic principle of market liberalization. This difference is indicative of different approaches regarding the purposes of each Union and the roIe of the judge. The U .S. judge ensures, above all, that the division of competences, as provided by the Constitution, is enforced whereas the role of the ECJ is essentially to guarantee market integration

Full textThis dissertation is a study of the dynamics behind the growth of the US art market from the 1800's to the 1930's. Its main goal is to analyze the transformations which allowed the passage from local and regional networks into a national one. More specifically, it deals with how the development of the fine arts in Boston, Philadelphia and New York were based on religious and pastoral ideas and ideologies, as well as on social and cultural stereotypes and conceptions which defined art and the artist. This dissertation shows how the social origins of patrons and the restructuring of society in the nineteenth century played a pivotal in this construction. The arrival of new social groups originating from the industrialization of the country affected the role of artists inside society, as well as their cultural mission and their relationship with the public. This study also shows how new socio-professional categories, such as critics and illustrators, emerged from this new economic context and altered the position of the artist in society with the rise of the printed press. The economic power of these industrial patrons also enabled them to use their investments inside the fine arts to justify and affirm of their new social positions, while also injecting inside the art market strategies and logics from their businesses, thus affecting the functioning of the system

Full textGrounded on a rich audiovisual corpus, this dissertation focuses on the audiovisual representations of the commemoration of the American Revolution Bicentennial. Composed of three chapters, this work analyzes the process of memory and identity making that emerged from this anniversary. My research shows the demagogic, ideological and prophetic caracter of the commemoration, a series of events that celebrate the past in order to restore unity, form the national identity and shape the country’s future.The first chapter examines two pivotal aspects of the celebrations: in the one hand, the importance that the adverse context of the seventies played in the development of the audiovisual materials, and on the other hand, how the organizers of the events instrumentalized the past in order to reinstate the national unity. This instrumentalization led to the construction of a national mythology and the preservation of the collective memory.In the second chapter, I analyze the various national and international projects along with the public targeted or consciously forgotten by the organizers. In this chapter, the popular character of the commemoration is highlighted and I unveil the identity myth that went with it. Multiculturalism and historical context pushed the government and the organizers to imagine worldwide celebrations, and an universalization of the memory process evolving around the messianic temptation of the United States.Finally, I demonstrate how the national collective memory was remapped through a selective representation of the Revolution’s events, figures, and values using different broadcasting methods and formats adjusted to audiovisual stakes

Full textThis study examines the historical context in which the study of Brazilian history emerged in the American Universities during 1958–1985. Expansion of this discipline in the United States mirrored domestic and political concerns stemming from the Cold War; as such, institutional support, both federal and private funding played a significant role in Brazilianist research and facilitated subsequent specialization and scholarly development. In the U.S., the term “Brazilianist” merely designates a scholar of Brazilian history, whereas in Brazil the term is often politically charged, with some U.S. scholars suspected of furthering an imperialist agenda of some sort. While it is true that some Brazilianist research was policy-oriented, and that these scholars had greater institutional support and further research opportunities than their Brazilian counterparts (particularly during the anos de chumbo, when the latter were subjected to repression and censorship by the military dictatorship), this stance tends to undermine their scientific production. A case-by-case study of their intellectual trajectories portrays however a much more complex account, allowing for a better analysis of their motivations and their intellectual exchanges with Brazilian intellectuals, as well as a better understanding of Brazilian reception of their academic production. This study seeks to move beyond polemics by highlighting the importance of Brazilianist academic ties with the Brazilian intellectual world, the reach of their academic production, and the role played by these in the institutionalization of the field in the United States as well as the professionalization of history in Brazil

Full textIn the United States, although the feminist movement has not died after women got the right to vote in 1920, it was invigorated by the birth of N.O.W (National Organization for Women) in 1966 which also marked the beginning of what is known as the second wave of feminism.To N.O.W’s feminists; the main dailies and weeklies of the country embodied a tool serving their own interests, as they tried to set up several reforms, to influence the press so as to legitimize their existence, to be credible and to control their image. In a first part, we will see how N.O.W got familiar with the journalism’s tools in order to be in the newspapers and to spread their claims. In a second part, the question at stake will be to know how the main feminist events of the 1970s were covered by the press, and think of the impact of this coverage on public opinion and on the organization’s image. The last part will deal with the way N.O.W influenced the press, both directly, by setting up actions in order to improve the image of women and feminists, by increasing the number of executive women in newspapers and magazines; then indirectly, thanks to N.O.W’s existence and visibility which had an impact on women as a whole and on feminist organizations more specifically. N.O.W’s relationship with Ms. will be tackled as well, the underlying question will be to know whether Ms.’s birth had to be considered as N.O.W’s failure to deal with the mainstream press or as the press’s failure to provide the information to the public.Analyzing N.O.W’s relationship with the country’s dailies and weeklies, the mains take will be to know whether the mainstream press has been considered as an efficient and reliable tool by N.O.W over the 1970s

Full textSince their founding in 1870, Jehovah's Witnesses have experienced spectacular growth until 1995, in the country where Christianity predominates. A gradual slowdown in growth was then observed, particularly in the industrialized countries in the mid-1990s. Moreover, their growth has been successfully imbalanced from one country to another. Thus, in 2017, there was a Jehovah's Witness for 50 people in Guadeloupe, one for 112 people in Barbados and one for 263 in the United States.This PhD thesis examines several growth factors, borrowing from the concepts of American sociologists Ryan Cragun and Ronald Lawson as well as Rodney Stark and Lawrence Iannacone, linking the growth of a religious group to the interaction between religious offerings and religious demand. in the country where the religious group settled. A literature search was conducted to examine the history and evolution of this religious movement. In addition to that, a qualitative method was adopted in interviews with dozens of Witnesses over several years and with participant observation, in order to better understand the movement, its doctrines, but also the motivations of the members. Then, a quantitative method was applied to a survey of hundreds of Jehovah's Witnesses in Barbados, in Guadeloupe and the United States of America. The specificities of these three countries partly explain the differences in growth observed in the religious group studied

It analyses its beginnings during the Second World War, and the development of multilateral and bilateral military structures from the the Cold War, up to the election of Salvador Allende in 1970. Through the Chilean example, it highlights the will of the United States to standardize, continent-wide, doctrines, practices, and equipment according to the model promoted by Washington. The question of the reception of this influence by Chile is also examined: to what extent are these cultural transfers accepted, rejected, re-appropriated in national contexts, put in competition with those of other countries? Finally, to account for the complexity of the decision-making process, special emphasis is placed on interactions between various players, both within the bureaucracy of the departments involved in the management of the program, and between the US and Chilean protagonists in the field
