Texte intégralThis thesis focuses on how Public service Co-ordinating Bargaining Council (PSCBC) contributes to social dialogue within South African Public service. This thesis seeks to filL a significant literature gap on collective bargaining as accomplished by the PSCBC. The thesis briefly examines the history of collective bargaining in the South African Public Service. The research methodology used includes information gleaned from annual reports published by the PSCBC. Interviews of selected stakeholders such as government officials and labour organisations involved in the PSCBC were conducted.The thesis holds that historically an adversarial relationship existed between the state as employer and the recognised trade unions.
Rollet, Jacques-Hubert. « Henri Rollet : historien de l’Action catholique et chrétien engagé ». Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040047.
Texte intégralWhile studying history at the Sorbonne, Henri Rollet (1917-2003) discovered the Church’s social teaching through Emmanuel Chaptal, an auxiliary bishop of Paris. Though he was an industry manager, he nevertheless submitted a doctoral thesis in 1948 on how Catholics had engaged with French society between 1871 and 1901. The following year, he was appointed President of the Secrétariat Social de Paris. Later he would become national President and then international President of Catholic Action for men, a lay auditor at Vatican II, and then president of the Institut Catholique de Paris. During this period he wrote several works on the role of socially engaged Catholics, mostly of a historical kind, as well as many articles; and he gave numerous conferences. It is essentially though press reports and commentaries on his books, articles and talks that one can discover who this committed lay person was: his attitudes, his opinions, the stands he took. How did this committed lay person conceive and carry out his mission in the second half of the 20th century? How did he bear witness to his faith, not only in France but also in other countries? How did he struggle to give the lay person a more significant role within the Church? As will be seen, a number of topics worked through fifty years ago are still all too relevant. Drawing on newly discovered documents, this study attempts to answer these questions, while bringing out the full importance and relevance of Catholic Social Teaching

Texte intégralNamibia was under South African rule until March 1990. On 11 September 1962, the Odendaal Commission was set up by the State President of South Africa to enquire into the welfare and progress of all the inhabitants of South West Africa, particularly the African people. The Commission was required to make recommendations for the development of the various African people inside and outside their designated areas. The outcome of the Commission was the division of South West Africa into ten designated areas for the various native nations. These areas later became the homelands for the Africans in South West Africa. This thesis was concerned with examining the Kavango Legislative Council, its constitution, its powers, the role of the traditional authorities within the body, and the legislation passed by the Council.

Texte intégralDe 1758 à 1928, la Nouvelle-Écosse a eu une législature bicamérale constituée de la Chambre d'assemblée et du Conseil législatif. Au cours de la période suivant la Confédération, le Conseil législatif fut incessamment attaqué, accusé d'être inutile, coûteux et anachronique. Cela étant, durant une période d'un demi-siècle, tous les efforts pour l'abolir faillirent. Suite à l'écrasante victoire des Conservateurs aux élections provinciales de 1925, cependant, le Premier Ministre entrant Edgar Nelson Rhodes lança une croisade pour abolir définitivement le Conseil législatif, qui arriva jusqu'au comité judiciaire du Conseil privé à Westminster. Armé d'une opinion du Conseil privé lui permettant de démettre les membres existants du Conseil législatif et de nommer un nombre illimité de remplaçants, Rhodes put faire voter un projet de loi d'abolition le 24 février 1928. A la fin de la session législative de 1928, le Conseil législatif cessa d'exister, et ses pouvoirs furent dévolus à la Chambre d'assemblée et au lieutenant-gouverneur. Ce mémoire étudie l'histoire de cette bataille et se penche notamment sur la nature de la constitution de Nouvelle-Écosse, l'impulsion initiale donnée par Rhodes à la bataille pour l'abolition, son appel à Ottawa lorsque l'impulsion initiale fut infructueuse, le litige à la Cour suprême de Nouvelle-Écosse et au comité judiciaire du Conseil privé, et enfin sur l'abolition finale du Conseil législatif.

Texte intégralO trabalho é um estudo de caso sobre o Conselho Popular de Vitória (CPV) organização representativa das associações de moradores do município de Vitória de sua fundação, em 1986, até 2004. Ancorado em autores que estudaram a participação política da sociedade civil nas décadas de 80 e 90 o objetivo é empreender uma análise que especifique o perfil de atuação deste movimento em termos de interesses e demandas, do seu papel junto aos movimentos de bairro que representa e da sua relação com o poder municipal. A estratégia de apreensão do objeto de estudo deu-se pela metodologia qualitativa que possibilita a compreensão de fenômenos, fatos e procedimentos particulares de pequenos grupos. O resultado da pesquisa revelou que o CPV, ao longo da sua trajetória, sofreu modificações no seu perfil de atuação. Se nos anos 80 apresentou uma postura mais independente na relação com o poder público, nos anos 90 assume uma posição mais próxima ao governo, fortalecida pelo processo de abertura e institucionalização dos canais de participação. Contudo, essa postura levaria ao longo dos anos a um padrão de relação extremamente frágil com o poder público e entidades dos movimentos de bairro, visto que, assumindo uma postura de parceiro e legitimador das ações do poder público, tem deixado de ser um operador das demandas da sociedade civil e se transformado em agente cooperador do poder público.
This paper is a case study about the CPV (Vitória Popular Council) organization that represents the resident associations in the city of Vitória from its foundation and in 1986 to 2004. Based on authors who studied the political participation of civil societies in the 1980s and 90s, the aim is to perform an analysis to specify the acting profile of this movement in terms of interest and demand; its role in the movements of the neighborhoods it represents and its relation with the city government. The study strategy adopted qualitative methodology, which allows understanding particular phenomena, facts and procedures of small groups. Results showed that CPV, throughout its history, has changed its acting focus. If in the 80s the movement had a more independent position towards the city government, in the 90s it took a position closer to the government, strengthened by the opening process and institutionalization of channels of participation. Nevertheless, this posture would lead to an extremely fragile relation with the government and neighborhood entities, throughout the years. Since the CPV has had a position of government s partner and legitimator of actions, it has quit being an operator of the civil society s demands and become a government collaborator.

Thiault, Lauric. « Social-ecological vulnerability : from assessment to action ». Thesis, Paris 6, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA066352/document.
Texte intégralContemporary sustainability science and practice must embrace the complexity of social-ecological systems and capitalize on the lessons learned from the recent theoretical and applied advances made in various disciplines. This can be accomplished in particular by incorporating this extensive knowledge into management and decision making through integrative and operational frameworks. Based on contrasting but complementary case studies (coral reef fishery in Moorea, French Polynesia; artisanal benthic fishery in Chile and global food systems), and drawing from the recent development in social-ecological science, we extended the use of the social-ecological vulnerability framework by (1) mapping human-nature dependencies in the context of resource-user interactions, (2) integrating the temporal dimension, (3) accounting for multiple drivers of change and (4) their impact on diverse entities of the system considered. This interdisciplinary work provided the foundation to represent key linkages in social-ecological systems, understand the underlying sources of unsustainability, and address these through a set of targeted and context-grounded management interventions and policy actions. This thesis provides a new perspective on human-nature linkages and has a number practical implications for managers, conservation planners, and policy-makers that seek to incorporate a social-ecological perspective to tackle sustainability issues from local to global scales

Texte intégralToute transaction hors cour en matière de recours collectif doit être négociée équitablement, être perçue comme étant juste et équitable par les parties afin qu'elles puissent consentir à son contenu, et être évaluée comme telle à l'occasion d'une homologation par un juge donnée lors d'une audience sur le caractère équitable de la transaction. Comment ce caractère juste et équitable de la transaction peut-il être proprement évalué dans un contexte collectif? Quel processus et quelle procédure le juge doit-il suivre dans l'évaluation du caractère juste et équitable? Quel rôle le juge doit-il avoir, dans ce contexte bien précis? Cette thèse explore les raisons sous-jacentes à l'approbation judiciaire des transactions de recours collectif, le processus par lequel de telles transactions sont soumises par les parties pour évaluation et approbation, ainsi que celui par lequel le juge évalue et décide ou non d'approuver la transaction. Les critères d'équité et de raisonnabilité d'une transaction projetée sont également discutés, tout comme le rôle des principaux acteurs impliqués dans le règlement, incluant principalement celui du juge évaluateur et approbateur. La thèse suggère des hypothèses de réforme relatives au processus d'évaluation et d'approbation, aux rôles des acteurs judiciaires et au standard d'équité et de raisonnabilité transactionnelle. Ces hypothèses sont ensuite testées, pour leur plausibilité, par rapport aux données obtenues dans le cadre de dix-sept entrevues de juges, effectuées par l'auteure, juges agissant dans quatre juridictions principales dans lesquelles les pourcentages de recours collectifs intentés demeurent les plus élevés : Québec, l'Ontario, la Colombie-Britannique et les cours fédérales américaines. Enfin, des recommandations définitives de réforme sont proposées dans le but d'améliorer le fonctionnement du système d'approbation des transactions collectives, ainsi que l'équité et la raisonnabilité des processus, procédures et résultats dans ce contexte.

Texte intégralMunicipal councils are vested with the legal authority to promote financial accountability in their respective municipalities. To accomplish this responsibility, municipal council establishes committees to enable a structured and coordinated mechanism through which it can promote financial accountability effectively. However and despite the available legal and institutional mechanisms established to enable council committees to promote financial accountability, the lack of effective financial accountability in municipalities has persisted. This study focused on the role of council committees in ensuring financial accountability. It was guided by the following research questions: What are the major factors that contribute to financial accountability at local level, what is the role of council committees in promoting financial accountability and how can council committees be strengthened to play an effective role in Stellenbosch municipality&rsquo
s municipal financial accountability. Stellenbosch Local Municipality was used as a case study for this research. The data was collected from primary and secondary sources. Primary data was sourced from members of relevant council committees through structured and unstructured interviews. Secondary data was obtained from relevant municipal reports, internet sources, government department publications, journals and Auditor - General&rsquo
s reports which contributed to the reliability, validity and objectivity of the findings. The findings showed that political instability, a lack of a culture of accountability, lack of clearly defined authority for accountability, lack of relevant capacity and willingness are some of the major factors that have impacted negatively on council committees from promoting effective financial accountability. The study opens up the possibility of future research to include a wider number of municipalities.

Texte intégralWith the expression 'social attention' we refer to the ability to coordinate or to share attentional focus with social partners on an object, event, or a third person. Hand movements and actions in general are reliable signals about the interaction partners' intentions and goals. However, on one side, the vast majority of studies have mainly explored how the observation of other individuals’ actions affects the observers' own motor program rather than their attention. On the other side, social attention literature primarily focused on the role of gaze rather than on the role of hand movements. The present thesis aims at filling this gap in literature exploring the role of human gestures, with emphasis on the reach-to-grasp movements, in driving social attention. In Chapter 1, the literature on social attention and its relationship with action observation is reviewed. Then, a set of studies on the influence of reach-to-grasp movements on social attention is presented. Specifically, Chapter 2 aims to clarify whether human actions are likely to effectively shape social attention (Study 1) and if such effects are specific for biological stimuli (Study 2). Afterwards, the research program analyzes the impact of some social moderating variables. Using different behavioral responses (e.g., reaction times and eye movements), Chapter 3 investigates the role of group membership (i.e., Italian vs. Iraqi; Study 1) and social threat elicited by objects (i.e., weapons; Study 2, Study 3 and Study 4) on social attention driven by actions. Chapter 4 explores across three studies the interplay between social and physiological factors in shaping social attention during action observation. Specifically, we addressed the influence of hormonal shift during menstrual cycle on social attention (Study 1) with a particular focus on the role of products status (high status vs. low status) and social target's gender (Study 2 and Study 3). Next, Chapter 5 presents an experimental study on the effect of target's weight status (normal weight vs. overweight target) on the process. Chapter 6 represents a change in perspective with respect to the previous chapters; in one experimental study we analyzed the potential outcomes of observing informative social cues - namely, movements that help the participants in performing the task - provided by an outgroup member (i.e., Arab) on person perception and prejudice. Chapter 7 is focused on a complementary field of research and explores the impact of action observation of ingroup (i.e. Italian) and outgroup (i.e. Arab) members on motor resonance, measured by a mouse tracker. Finally, Chapter 8 presents an overview of findings, discusses the studies limitations, their implications and future directions.
Means, Peter T. « Forest stewardship council certification of public forests| Five case studies ». Thesis, Colorado State University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1564491.
Texte intégralThis study characterizes the experience of five states that have chosen to pursue third party sustainable forest certification of publicly owned lands using the principles and criteria of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Studying the impact of FSC certification on Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania may provide the Colorado State Forest Service and other forest stakeholders with an improved understanding of the potential impact of FSC certification of Colorado's public forests. This issue is especially pertinent to Colorado green builders who are attempting to acquire structural lumber from sustainably managed forests within a 500 mile (805 km) area of the construction site, as prescribed by US Green Build Council's (USGBC) Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design (LEED) standards. As there are no FSC certified forests in Colorado or neighboring states, sustainable builders cannot comply with some pertinent green building standards. Additionally, It is intended that this study will support sustainable forest policy studies and facilitate continuing research on the impact of FSC certification of Colorado public forests.
Bray, Roderick Neil. « From protest to development : the dynamics of change at the Western Province Council of Churches ». Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 1995. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/21767.
Texte intégralThe Western Province Council of Churches (WPCC) is an ecumenical organisation based in Cape Town which promotes ideals of justice. From 1971 to 1995 it was a branch of the South African Council of Churches. The WPCC regards itself as a non-governmental organisation (NGO), and it is part of the NGO sector. It is funded by foreign donor agencies. This thesis studies the transformation of the WPCC as an organisation. This occurred as a direct result of the political transition in South Africa between 1990 and 1994. The main forces pressing change upon the WPCC during this period were: (i) its commitment to retain relevance in a changing political and social environment according to the principles of contextual theology; (ii) its need to adapt its mode of operation following considerable changes in the context of its work; and, (iii) the most powerful force, the influence of foreign funding agencies upon the nature of its activities.

Texte intégralIn this study, I focus on young female activists' experiences and learning in social struggle. I rely on interviews and a participatory research project conducted with a group of young facilitators working with girls in an elementary school. The role of oppression and domination in social movements and in emancipatory projects is explored. Learning is found to be situated in particular historical contexts and to be influenced by underlying social dynamics inherent to social struggle. It is also found to be contradictory---it both inhibits and fosters change.
This study is my praxis. It is a back and forth between grassroots practice and research. It engages activists in thinking critically about their actions and uses various written texts to reflect their stories back to them, and to broader audiences. In the tradition of feminist and participatory research, I use this study as a catalyst for learning and for transforming practice.
