Résumé :

Approved for public release; distribution in unlimited.
This thesis examines the relationship between the benefits and the major objections expressed over burden sharing and international armaments cooperation. These concerns include: (1) protectionism, (2) transfer of technology and (3) bureaucratic problems. An analysis of these factors will be conducted through a case study of the Fighter Support Experimental (FSX) project. It will be conducted so as to determine the validity of these benefits and objections. The objective of this thesis is to examine both the benefits of burden sharing, and the objections raised concerning armaments cooperation in relation to the FSX project. The validity of the objections to the FSX agreement will be analyzed in addition to how they relate to future projects.

Résumé :

This study investigated what determines successful transatlantic defense policy cooperation and how that cooperation can reduce the military capability gap between the United States and its European NATO allies. It examines the differing defense policies and defense capabilities between the United States and its European NATO allies. Several theories in International Relations were also used as a foundation for the argument that cooperation is needed. The approach to defense policy is very different between the United States and Europe. The strategic vision of the world of both parties differs as well. Policy, doctrine and defense projects are all taken into consideration and analyzed. Based on the results of the analysis of policy and doctrines, the policy recommendation is that there should be more cooperation on defense policy planning, military doctrine and defense projects conducted in the effective fashion of current successful cases. The European NATO members will also need to cooperate on such policy if the military capability gap is to be lessened.

Résumé :

Background International cooperation became a wide-spread way of exchanging experience and ideas between organizations of the non-profit sector all over the world. The exchange of new ideas and experience on the international level can very often contain cases of policy transfer, which beyond all doubts can influence the participants of international cooperation. Aim The aim of the presented Master's thesis consists of the investigation and analysis of international project on violence prevention between Swedish and Ukrainian NGOs, assessing and verifying the representation in the project the particular case of policy transfer. Method In order to collect the empirical data, mixed qualitative methods were used in this thesis, which included the concept of triangulation used for the data collection. Result The conduction of the presented qualitative research gave an opportunity to uncover and examine the different roles played by Ukrainian and Swedish NGOs in the welfare systems of their respective countries. It also became possible to observe an occurrence of a particular form of cooperation between the two NGOs in the international cooperation project, which can be related to a particular type of policy transfer. Conclusions Due to the fact that the project analysed in this study is still ongoing, it is still too early to derive any final conclusion about its achievements and formulate an evaluation concerning the nature of the policy transfer process. So far the author of the presented thesis can see that the project on its current stage has an occurrence of lesson-drawing policy transfer.

Résumé :

This paper discusses the political implications of creating a Northeast Asian system of regional cooperation, as the current global political changes now make it possible, and the security and economic measures that have to be taken to implement these new developmental projects. The Tumen River Project is one of the developmental projects designed to bring together former political and ideological adversaries, such as China, Japan, Mongolia, North Korea, Russia and South Korea. Due to the economic regionalism in the world, and to the subsequent need to create some sort of regional structure in the Asia-Pacific, these countries are striving to promote regional cooperation and overcome such serious problems as the reunification of the two Koreas, the security issues on the Korean Peninsula, the Russo-Japanese territorial dispute, and others.

Résumé :

La coopération décentralisée, brique de l’Aide publique au développement et action extérieure des collectivités territoriales, existe légalement depuis 1992. L’intérêt pour la thématique "eau et assainissement" ainsi que pour les pays de la Méditerranée, nous a amené à mener notre recherche dans les Territoires palestiniens, territoires souffrant du manque d’eau. Ces actions de coopération nécessitent une coordination des parties prenantes sur le territoire partenaire. C’est cette coordination que questionne cette recherche. Pour cela les enjeux de la coopération décentralisée ont été comparés entre la littérature et le terrain, ce qui nous a permis de nous intéresser plus particulièrement à l’enjeu du transfert de connaissances. En effet, les actions de formation ont une part de plus en plus importante dans les projets de coopération décentralisée, du fait notamment des difficultés financières des collectivités territoriales. La littérature du transfert inter-organisationnel a aussi été mobilisée lors de cette recherche. Nous sommes ensuite revenus sur les différentes pratiques managériales liées à la gestion de projet, au suivi de projet, à la mise en place de consultations publiques, etc. Nous avons pu voir que la communication publique était peu existante et que d’autres difficultés existaient comme la gestion du turn-over. Nous avons souhaité comprendre quels pouvaient être les impacts liés à cela, ainsi que les solutions envisageables. Lorsque nous nous sommes intéressés aux difficultés, la coordination des parties prenantes est apparue comme primordiale à améliorer
Decentralized cooperation projects, an aspect of the development aid and external action of local authorities, has legally existed since 1992. Simultaneous interest in water and sanitation issues and in Mediterranean countries motivated us to focus our research in the Palestinian Territories, many of which suffer of a lack of water. These cooperative actions require a coordination of the stakeholders on the partner territory. This research questions the efficacy of these coordinated efforts applied to the water and sanitation field. Herein, issues of decentralized cooperation have been compared between the literature and a field study, which allowed us to focus more particularly on the issue of knowledge transfer. Indeed, training accounted for an increasingly important share of decentralized cooperation projects, due in particular to financial difficulties of local authorities. This is why we focused on knowledge transfer’s literature, inter-organizational transfer actually as it does not meet the same difficulties as private organizations (with holding information, power games, an unstable relationship, etc.) but conversely it is rarely assessed and thus warrants investigation. We also followed up on the different management practices related to project management : project monitoring, implementation of public consultations, etc. We found that public communication is scarce and found others difficulties such as frequent management turnovers. We wished to understand the impact of frequent turnover and solutions to the problems they may create

Texte intégral

Résumé :

The aim of this essay is to investigate how development projects, funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, include communication in the project cycle and if it affects their results. The research will take place in Guatemala and will be based on a comparative study in which the program evaluations conducted by the Swedish Embassy, responsible for distributing the funding, will be used to choose two projects: one regarded as successful and the other unsuccessful. By interviewing and conducting surveys with staff members from the embassy, NGO personnel that worked with the project as well as community members affected by the projects, the aim is to get a full picture of the projects themselves as well as the different personal experiences of the projects to allow for a discussion concerning communication for development, participation and governmentally funded development work. The conclusion is that there does not seem to be a defined way in which Sida-funded projects include participatory communication in the project cycle even though it is mentioned and discussed in connection to a project. The comparison of the two local initiatives indicate that defining a method and tools which allows the Embassies to better control and structure in terms of participatory communication are likely to increase the sustainability of the projects.

Résumé :

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico
This research seeks to portray and analyze the process of internationalization and the international cooperation of higher education in Brazil, since 2010 mainly, when it is inaugurated the Federal University of Latin American Integration (UNILA) in the city Foz do IguaÃu-PR, with regional integration proposal, through the teaching of Latin American countries and the Caribbean, and also that year it was founded the University of International Integration of African Brazilian Lusophone (UNILAB) having an integrative proposal between the nations that make up the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLC), comprising Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, Sao Tome and Principe, East Timor, Equatorial Guinea and Brazil in the city of RedenÃÃo-CE. With these universities Brazil presents to the world, an internationalization project by higher education, through a cooperation project called South, with a promise to ensure the humanistic, scientific and technological knowledge and the partnership in South Atlantic area, which appears as an area of political interest to Brazil for some time. The main aim of this research is to understand the strategies for internationalization of higher education in a globalized world, and to know how Brazil has been acting in this process. In this study we used as methodological basis, a descriptive exploratory survey on the perception of internationalization of higher education, from international universities in Brazil, and geopolitical and economic interests in Latin America and Africa. We interviewed teachers, administrative staff, students and people from the society, to get a sense of social actors involved and we based on literary scholars authors on the subject. We seek to understand in this study, how educational policies may interfere with power relations and local arrangements, allowing greater regional role in a globalized world. We obtained as results that the challenges are many, internally and externally, in the institution and in the municipalities involved, but it is geographically feasible and relevant for educational policies in the South Atlantic zone.

Com essas universidades o Brasil apresenta ao mundo um projeto de internacionalizaÃÃo, por meio do ensino superior, atravÃs de uma proposta de cooperaÃÃo denominada Sul-Sul, com a promessa de garantir o conhecimento humanÃstico, cientÃfico, tecnolÃgico e a cooperaÃÃo solidÃria na zona do AtlÃntico Sul, que se apresenta como Ãrea de interesse polÃtico para o Brasil hÃ algum tempo. O principal objetivo dessa pesquisa Ã compreender as estratÃgias para a internacionalizaÃÃo do ensino superior em um mundo globalizado, e como o Brasil vem agindo nesse processo. Nesse estudo utilizamos como embasamento metodolÃgico um levantamento descritivo e exploratÃrio sobre a percepÃÃo da internacionalizaÃÃo do ensino superior, a partir das universidades de integraÃÃo internacional no Brasil, e os interesses geopolÃticos e econÃmicos na AmÃrica Latina e na Ãfrica. Entrevistamos professores, tÃcnicos administrativos, alunos e pessoas da prÃpria sociedade, para obter uma visÃo dos atores sociais envolvidos e nos embasamos na literatura de autores estudiosos no assunto. Procuramos entender nesse estudo, como polÃticas educacionais podem interferir nas relaÃÃes de poder e nos arranjos locais, possibilitando uma maior atuaÃÃo regional em um mundo globalizado. Obtivemos como resultados que os desafios sÃo muitos, a nÃvel interno e externo, na prÃpria instituiÃÃo e nos municÃpios envolvidos, porÃm Ã geograficamente viÃvel e de relevÃncia para as polÃticas educacionais na zona do AtlÃntico Sul.

Résumé :

Over the past decades, public concern about global environmental change has grown, following the progressive increase in both frequency and intensity of extreme events. Even though the problem is global, it has proved to have very different societal and environmental impacts at local level, further widening the gap between disadvantaged and advantaged communities, according to the degree of vulnerability of their social, economic and environmental systems. Among the various anthropogenic activities, the agricultural sector is particularly linked to global environmental change by a two-way relationship: on the one hand, intensive mono-cultures, together with intensive livestock production, compromise the environment and produce huge CO$_2$ emissions (one of the most important factors behind global warming); on the other hand, smallholder farming is one of the most endangered sectors by global environmental change, precisely because it depends heavily on the natural resources of the territory, including favourable weather and climate. Scientific research, supported by international institutions, has been working on this subject for several decades, analysing phenomena at global and local scale and providing medium and long-term forecasts capable of directing economic and political strategies. Such complex investigations become even more complex in contexts lacking reliable environmental data, where their low-quality and low representativeness weaken their reliability, compromising the reliability of the outcomes as well. This thesis seeks to respond to the increasing need of realistically addressing environmental phenomena that threaten rural communities and the environment on which they depend in low-income countries, by investigating two of the main environmental factors affecting tropical farming practices: river-floodplain dynamics and climate change. Despite data-related constraints, the environment of tropical rural areas still provides a unique opportunity to study several near-natural processes, such as the morphodynamics of mostly free-flowing rivers. Especially in foothill regions, unconfined or partially confined conditions of tropical rivers allow evaluating the natural dynamics of erodible river corridors, with erosion and accretion shaping their interactions with the adjacent floodplain and related human activities. At the same time, the complex terrain characterizing the river valleys at the foothills of high mountain chains also offers the opportunity to study interesting local meteorological processes, especially considering the interaction between synoptic-scale dynamics and local convective phenomena. In this context, local bottom-up initiatives and new and tailored-to-context strategies for adaptation to the ongoing environmental change are deepened following a multidisciplinary approach. This PhD research has been framed within an international cooperation project entitled “Sustainable Development and Fight against Climate Change in the Upper Huallaga basin (Peru)”, promoted by Mandacarù ONLUS, and funded by the Autonomous Province of Trento. The project aimed to enhance the resilience of the local farmers of the Upper Huallaga valley (Peru), facing the consequences of climate change and implementing new agricultural initiatives with a special attention to plantain and banana fields. Thanks to the support of the involved partners (Redesign by PROMER s.a.c., the Universidad Agraria Nacional de la Selva de Tingo Maria, in Peru, and the Edmund Mach Foundation of San Michele all’Adige, in Italy), the project provided the opportunity to carry out a consistent set of fieldwork activities over an 8-months period collecting hydro-morphological data, interviewing the local population, and installing two weather stations. The PhD thesis has been structured along two main parts, related to to the assessment of climate change effects on local agricultural practices, and the interplay between river-floodplain dynamics and floodplain agriculture. The part on the assessment of climate change includes two main research elements. First, a novel approach is used to evaluate climate change in data-scarce contexts: non-conventional data sources (population survey) are compared with conventional data sources (few local historical weather stations and global reanalysis data series – ERA5), to better account for the sub-daily time scale (local conventional sources only provide daily data), correlating weather changes perceived by farmers (more thunderstorms and longer drought periods) with climate variations deduced from quantitative data. Second, after having determined the most impacting meteorological variables on crops through the survey, a weather early-warning system has been developed to provide agro-meteorological forecasts to the \textit{bananeros} (banana farmers) of the Upper Huallaga valley. The system, based on the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, and enhanced with the assimilation of real-time observations from local meteorological stations installed during the project fieldwork, issues an alert when the predicted wind speed exceeds thresholds related to potential damage to the harvest, and spreads the warning via text messages. Such alerting system contains several novel features in relation to the socio-environmental context, allowing to discuss its potential for replication in analogous, vulnerable situations. The part on river-floodplain dynamics also includes two main research elements. First, a remote-sensing analysis is conducted at reach scale in two different reaches of the Huallaga River, quantifying geomorphological river trajectories and land use changes in the adjacent floodplain. The outcomes show that river morphology reacts differently depending on the agricultural systems (extensive or intensive) in the nearby floodplain, revealing a high geomorphological sensitivity of such a near-natural, highly dynamic river reach. Second, riverine agriculture within the erodible river corridor is analysed in association with riverine islands dynamics, at the geomorphic unit scale, evaluating the morphological evolution and agricultural suitability of two cultivated fluvial islands. The three main drivers of agricultural suitability within river erodible corridors, i.e. river disturbance, cultivation windows of opportunity, and soil suitability are quantified, allowing to generalize a process-based conceptual model of riverine islands as complex-adaptive-systems.

Résumé :

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo principal a avaliação das especificidades da execução de programas de desenvolvimento local promovidos pela Prefeitura de Curitiba em conjunto com organismos internacionais. Diante da carência de políticas públicas federais para o âmbito das cidades e a insuficiência de repasses intergovernamentais, as administrações municipais rompem as fronteiras nacionais para vencer os principais campos do desenvolvimento urbano, promovendo cooperações com instituições internacionais de fomento que, além de financiar, também interferem na elaboração e execução de programas e projetos de interesse dos municípios. Perante o relevante volume de recursos obtidos pela cidade de Curitiba, o estudo observa as especificidades de tais acordos na implementação de políticas públicas locais a fim de proporcionar um referencial de conhecimento à sociedade em geral e estimular ferramentas de aprimoramento dessas parcerias pelo poder local. Por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa, um estudo de caso múltiplo é realizado levando em consideração, além dos dados dos programas em parcerias com organismos internacionais, a percepção dos gestores locais envolvidos e dos representantes dos organismos internacionais. Os resultados são apresentados a partir de uma adaptação dos eixos de avaliação defendidos por Proença (2009) (participação e Transparência, alinhamento, promoção de autonomia, condições de eficácia e sustentabilidade) e, por fim, as conclusões apontam que há uma ambivalência dos interesses dos atores nas parcerias. Os resultados mostram também que é preciso adaptar os projetos locais às condições dos organismos internacionais, que, por muitas vezes, podem acabar pautando as políticas públicas do município, demonstram o pouco engajamento popular nas parcerias, listam os elementos diferenciadores da implementação dessas políticas, verificam que novas experiências podem ser absorvidas pela gestão local a partir dessas parcerias e que há uma limitação das cooperações ao processo de execução dos programas.
This thesis aims to evaluate the implementation of local development programs promoted by the City of Curitiba in collaborative work with international organizations. Towards the lack of federal public policies for the cities' scope and the failure of intergovernmental transfers, local governments break national boundaries to win the main fields of urban development, promoting cooperation with international development institutions that, besides financing, also interfere the development and implementation of counties' programs and projects interest. Before the significant amount of resources obtained by the city of Curitiba, the study points out the special features of such agreements in the implementation of local public policies to provide a benchmark of knowledge to the society and stimulate enhancement tools of such partnerships for local power. Through a qualitative research, a multiple case study is conducted taking into account both the data of the programs in partnership with international organizations and the perception of the local managers involved and representatives of international organizations. The results are presented from an adaptation of the axes of evaluation recommended by Proença (2009) (participation and transparency, alignment, promotion of autonomy, efficiency and sustainability conditions), and the findings reveal the ambivalence of the interests of actors in the partnerships. The study indicates that it is necessary to adapt the local projects to the conditions of international organizations, which often end up basing public policies of the county; it demonstrates the unpopular engagement in partnerships; it lists the differentiating elements of the implementation of these policies; and it finds that new experiences can be absorbed by the local management from these partnerships and the cooperation's limitation to the process of implementing the programs.

Résumé :

There has been an increased focus on ICT-related projects in development cooperation in the last decade based on the assumption that ICTs expands opportunities for economic growth as well as for poverty reduction. This is also the case with the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA). I wanted to better understand the reasoning behind the increased focus on ICT. Specifically I have chosen to look at SIDA’s policies and projects with universities in Tanzania and Nicaragua to understand how different stakeholders perceive that increased ICT use at universities can affect poverty reduction. Some questions guiding my research are: In what ways can these ICT investments meet the development goals of SIDA, and might do these ICT investments theoretically fit into a national system of innovation?

Résumé :

There is a wealth of studies which suggest that manager's positive perceptions/expectations can considerably influence organisational performance; unfortunately, little empirical evidence has been obtained from development studies. This first time research explores how Japanese aid workers' perceptions towards the local staff affects their behaviour and performance in cross-cultural project settings. Moreover, this research focuses on the perceptual and behavioural trait differences of successful and unsuccessful aid workers. With cooperation from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), 244 valid responses were obtained from the aid workers (managers) through a webbased survey. As a result of statistical analysis, positive causal relationships were confirmed between perception related factors and behaviour related factors and the organisational performance variable. These results strongly suggest that aid worker's positive perceptions result in positive behaviour in local colleagues and subsequently higher organisational performance. In addition, it was discovered that the aid workers' positive perception/expectation about work and their local colleagues was related to higher organisational performance, whilst conversely, the negative perception on their part was generally associated with negative behaviour and lower organisational performance.Although the differences in perceptual tendencies suggested by that these findings apply to Japanese aid managers; however, as human nature is universal, positive perception and behaviour should bring out positive output in most organisations. It is recommended that there is a need for people-related and cross-cultural management skills to ensure successful future activities, and stress management competencies to maintain positive managerial perception on the part of aid workers.

Résumé :

Cette étude porte une analyse comparative entre quatre projets de coopération gazière en Amérique du Sud et Asie du Sud-Est. Elle repère le rôle du leadership en soulignant des questions qui importent aux acteurs et des facteurs qui conditionnent les stratégies pour former les coopérations gazières régionales. Le principal but du plan méthodologique est de développer un cadre d'analytique de leadership et de construire une narrative analytique des quatre projets de coopération gazière. Ce faisant, l'étude traite analytiquement des sources primaires et secondaires qui sont renforcées par des entretiens d'expert ainsi que des observations sur le terrain. L'analyse comparative montre que des acteurs impliqués sont multiples et complexes. Leurs interactions se produisent à deux niveaux : politique et commercial. D'ailleurs, les deux niveaux sont affectés par trois contextes: politique, économique, et technique. Au niveau politique, des acteurs sont préoccupés de la stratégie pour formuler la vision et les objectifs du projet de coopération. Puisque l'Etat est l'acteur autoritaire, l'étude constate que la consultation avec d'autres acteurs est absente. Au niveau commercial, des acteurs publiques et privés sont en tête de la formation des partenariats ainsi que de s'engager dans le lobbying pour trouver à la fois du soutien politique et financier. Tel engagement intense entre des acteurs révèle un type de leadership particulier, nommé leadership par mandataire (proxy leadership). En dernière analyse, trois catalyseurs : le pouvoir, la gouvernance, et la culture, mènent l'approvisionnement en leadership en Amérique du Sud et Asie du Sud-Est. Tandis que le pouvoir et la culture sont plus forts en Amérique du Sud, la gouvernance a une présence assez faible dans les deux régions
This study compares four natural gas pipeline cooperation projects in South America and Southeast Asia. It identifies the role of leadership by highlighting issues that matter to actors and factors that condition strategies to form regional gas cooperation projects. The study's key methodological objective is to develop a leadership analytical framework by synthesizing regime and leadership theories. It then constructs analytical narratives of the four natural gas pipeline cooperation projects. Toward this end, various primary and secondary sources are exploited, which are complemented by expert interviews and field observation. The comparative analysis shows that actors involved in regional gas cooperation projects are multiple and complex. Their interactions occur under two processes: political and commercial. These processes are further affected by three contexts: political, economic, and technical. At the political level, actors are preoccupied with the strategy to formulate vision and objectives for the cooperation project. Because states are dominant at this stage, consultation with larger stakeholders is often absent. At the commercial level, public and private actors are at the forefront forming partnerships and engaging themselves in intense lobbying for bath political and financial support. Such intense relationship between these actors reveals a particular leadership type called proxy leadership. The overall provision of leadership in both South America and Southeast Asia is driven by three catalysts: power, governance, and culture. While power and culture are more crucial in South American case studies, both regions seem to share rather weak governance in forming regional gas cooperation projects

A presente tese investiga as concepções e práticas de avaliação de políticas educacionais realizadas no Brasil pelos organismos internacionais, especificamente a Organização das Nações Unidas para a Educação, a Ciência e a Cultura - UNESCO, o Programa das Nações Unidas para o Desenvolvimento - PNUD e o Banco Mundial. O estudo envolve a análise das políticas e estratégias apresentadas em manuais, diretrizes e guias, documentos oficiais que orientam a prática avaliativa dos projetos educacionais de cooperação entre o Brasil e estes organismos. O objetivo foi investigar como as avaliações de políticas educacionais realizadas pelos organismos internacionais no Brasil se relacionam com a construção de uma avaliação pública, entendida como avaliação politizadora e participativa. Tendo consequentemente como foco: i) analisar o conceito de avaliação e em particular de avaliação de políticas públicas em educação, no contexto brasileiro; ii) compreender os pressupostos metodológicos e epistemológicos das avaliações realizadas pela UNESCO, PNUD e Banco Mundial sobre políticas educacionais no Brasil; iii) relacionar as avaliações realizadas pelos três organismos com a construção de uma avaliação pública para as políticas educacionais brasileiras. Sustentada por uma perspectiva Marxista-Bobbiana, o estudo aborda o papel do Estado na sociedade capitalista contemporânea, trazendo uma reflexão sobre fatores políticos e históricos que têm condicionado as políticas educacionais no Brasil, com a intenção de esclarecer o contexto onde a avaliação está inserida. Após uma análise dos conceitos e características da avaliação de políticas, este trabalho apresenta os aspectos estruturais da política de cooperação entre o Brasil e os organismos internacionais e o tratamento superficial dado à avaliação dos programas e projetos educacionais nesse contexto. Faz-se uma análise das determinações sobre avaliação de políticas e projetos pelo PNUD, Banco Mundial e UNESCO voltadas, em seu discurso, para o desenvolvimento sustentável, utilizando a educação básica como um dos instrumentos na superação das desigualdades sociais; ao passo que atende às solicitações do mercado mundial, e, portanto está distante da promoção de uma educação de qualidade fundada, numa perspectiva crítica, participativa e contextualizada da realidade. Ao final, a tese defendida é denominada de avaliação pública; aquela em que os beneficiários também são avaliadores e participam do processo de avaliação, em todas as suas fases, na condição de tomadores de decisão, constituindo-se assim uma avaliação onde o público é participante e politicamente ativo.
ABSTRACTThis thesis investigates the concepts and practices of evaluation of educational policies in Brazil conducted by international organizations, specifically the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization - UNESCO, the United Nations Program for Development - UNDP and the World Bank . The study involves the analysis of policies and strategies presented in manuals, guidelines and guides, official documents that guide the evaluation practice of educational projects for cooperation between Brazil and these organisms. The aim was to investigate how educational policy assessments conducted by international organizations in Brazil are related to the construction of a public evaluation, seen as politicizing and participatory evaluation. Having thus focus on: i) to analyze the concept of evaluation and in particular the evaluation of public policies in education, in the Brazilian context, ii) understand the methodological and epistemological assumptions of the assessments carried out by UNESCO, UNDP and the World Bank on educational policies in Brazil iii) relate assessments by three organizations with the construction of a public evaluation for Brazilian educational policies. Supported by a Marxist-Bobbian perspective, the study addresses the role of the state in contemporary capitalist society, bringing a reflection on political and historical factors that have conditioned the educational policies in Brazil, with the intent to clarify the context in which the assessment is inserted. After an analysis of the concepts and characteristics of policy evaluation, this paper presents the structural aspects of policy cooperation between Brazil and the international bodies and surface treatment given to the evaluation of educational programs and projects in this context. It is an analysis of the determinations on evaluation of policies and projects by UNDP, the World Bank and UNESCO focused in his speech, for sustainable development, using the basic education as an instrument in overcoming social inequalities while that meets the demands of the world market, and thus far is the promotion of quality education founded on a critical perspective, participatory and contextual reality. At the end, the argument is called public evaluation, one in which the beneficiaries are also participating in the review and evaluation process in all its phases, provided decision makers, thus constituting an evaluation where the audience is participating and politically active.

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This is a theoretical study that appraises the nature and dimensions of Sub-Saharan Africa's (SSA's) political economy and the forces that underpin them, using a Coxian framework of analysis. Since 2000 the nature of SSA's political economy has been changing. Emergent trends and shifts in the region‟s political economy, including strong economic growth performances and increasing South-South cooperation, appear in contradiction to a dependent and conflict ridden depiction portrayed by most literature on SSA. From a Coxian perspective, it is contended in this study that these changes in SSA's political economy have arisen because of systemic changes occurring in the international system. At the same time, the study acknowledges that SSA's political economy is infused with dependence that can be identified through exploring the historical context of the twentieth century that shaped it. The majority of scholarly literature written on SSA has focused on humanitarian crises, poverty, war, corruption and conflict. In addition, mainstream International Relations (IR) and International Political Economy (IPE) theory largely overlook SSA. The majority of those that explore SSA's place in world politics have failed to contextualise SSA's position within the context of structural changes occurring in the international system. This has resulted in mainstream IR and IPE paradigms being inadequate to provide explanations for emergent trends in SSA's political economy. Exploration and analysis of mainstream IR and IPE theories and Africa's epistemological and ontological requirements directed the study towards selecting a narrowed Coxian Critical Theory (CCT) framework to further explore SSA's political economy. Using the CCT theoretical tools of 'historical structures' and 'hegemony' in the international system, the study explores: What have been the key trends prevalent in SSA’s political economy from 2000-2011 and how have these been shaped by structural changes in the international system? Does the nature of SSA’s political economy between 2000 and 2011 give scope for SSA’s conditions of dependence to alter? A historicised approach in line with CCT allows for exploration of SSA's conditions of dependence through identifying the key ideas, institutions and material capabilities pertinent to SSA's political economy in the twentieth century. The main trends of SSA's political economy from 2000 to 2011 include: a resilient economic and political performance in the face of the financial crisis of 2007 to 2010; increasing engagement with emerging powers resulting in being typified as the 'swing continent'; and different ideas and new approaches with regards to development thinking and the role and nature of institutions. These trends have been highly influenced by the structural change in relative material capabilities from traditional to emerging powers during this decade. The specific use of CCT as a framework has provided the means to analyse the fluid interactions between the key forces in SSA's political economy and the international system, allowing analysis of the possibility of SSA's conditions of dependency to alter. However, this is contingent on factors such as the desire of African leaders and policymakers to end the conditions of dependence. The study identifies the scope and limitations of Coxian analysis for understanding trajectories in SSA's political economy.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie is 'n teoretiese studie wat die aard en die omvang van sub-Sahara Afrika (SSA) se politieke ekonomie en die kragte wat dit beïnvloed ondersoek, deur gebruik te maak van 'n Coxiaanse (Coxian) ontledingsraamwerk. Sedert die jaar 2000 het die aard van SSA se politieke ekonomie begin verander. Verskuiwings en tendense in die streek se politieke ekonomie, insluitende sterk ekonomiese groeisyfers en 'n toename in Suid-Suid samewerking, strook nie met die beeld van 'n afhanklike en geweld geteisterde gebied wat dikwels in die literatuur oor SSA verskyn nie. Hierdie studie voer aan, vanuit 'n Coxiaanse oogpunt, dat sulke veranderinge in SSA se politieke ekonomie hul oorsprong het in sistemiese verskuiwinge in die internasionale bestel. Terselfdertyd, word dit aanvaar dat SSA se politieke ekonomie wel aspekte van afhanklikheid toon, veral wanneer die 20ste eeu in oënskou geneem word. Meeste akademiese literatuur oor SSA plaas die fokus op humanitêre krisisse, armoede, oorlog, korrupsie en konflik. Daarbenewens het hoofstroom Internationale Betrekinge (IB) en Internasionale Politieke Ekonomie (IPE) hoofsaaklik SSA oor die hoof gesien, terwyl dié wat SSA se plek in die internasionale sisteem ondersoek, dikwels daarin faal om SSA se posisie in die konteks van strukturele veranderinge in die internasionale stelsel te ontleed. Dit het IB en IPE paradigmas tot gevolg wat onvoldoende is om ontluikende tendense in SSA te verklaar. Daar is dus tekortkominge in hoofstroom IB en IPE teorieë. Terselfdertyd stel ontleding van SSA epistemologiese en ontologiese vereistes. Derhalwe gebruik hierdie studie 'n nouCoxiaanse Kritiese Teoretiese (CKT) raamwerk om SSA se politieke ekonomie dieper te ondersoek. Deur gebruik te maak van CKT se teoretiese gereedskap, historiese strukture en hegemonie in die internasionale stelsel, ondersoek die studie die volgende vraag: Wat is die belangrikste tendense wat voorkom in SSA se politieke ekonomie vanaf 2000-2011 en hoe is hierdie tendense gevorm deur die strukturele veranderinge in die internasionale stelsel? Ook, bied die aard van SSA se politieke ekonomie tussen 2000 en 2011 ruimte vir SSA se omstandighede van afhanklikheid om te verander? 'n Gehistoriseerde aanslag in lyn met CKT maak voorsiening vir die verkenning van SSA se omstandighede van afhanklikheid deur die identifisering van die belangrikste idees, instellings en materiële vermoëns wat betrekking het op SSA se politieke ekonomie in die twintigste eeu. Van die hoof tendense in SSA se politieke ekonomie tussen 2000 tot 2011 sluit in: sterk ekonomiese en politieke prestasie ten spyte van die finansiële krisis van 2007-2010; toenemende betrokkenheid deur opkomende magte wat daartoe lei tot Afrika bekend te staan as die 'swaai kontinent'; en, nuwe begrippe en idees oorontwikkeling, sowel as oor die rol en aard van instellings. Hierdie tendense is sterk beïnvloed deur strukturele veranderinge die afgelope decade in die relatiewe én materiële bevoegdhede van tradisionele en ontluikende magte. Die gebruik van CKT laat ontleding van die wisselwerking tussen sleutelmagte in SSA se politieke ekonomie toe, wat gevolglik ook analise van potensiële verandering in SSA se afhanklikheid moontlik maak. Of afhanklikheid wel beeindig sal word, hang onder meer af van die bereidheid van Afrika-leiers en beleidmakers om daad by die woord te voeg. Die studie bepaal die bydrae en beperkinge van Coxiaanse analise vir 'n begrip van die trajek wat SSA se politieke ekonomie inneem.

Résumé :

This thesis draws on David Harvey’s concept of “accumulation by dispossession” and an international political economy (IPE) approach centred on the institutional arrangements and power structures that privilege certain actors and values, in order to critique current capitalist practices of primitive accumulation by the global corporate extractive industry. The thesis examines how accumulation by dispossession by the global extractive industry is facilitated by the “free entry” or “free mining” principle. It does so by focusing on Canada as a leader in the global extractive industry and the spread of this country’s mining laws to other countries – in other words, the transnationalisation of norms in the global extractive industry – so as to maintain a consistent and familiar operating environment for Canadian extractive companies. The transnationalisation of norms is further promoted by key international institutions such as the World Bank, which is also the world’s largest development lender and also plays a key role in shaping the regulations that govern natural resource extraction. The thesis briefly investigates some Canadian examples of resource extraction projects, in order to demonstrate the weaknesses of Canadian mining laws, particularly the lack of protection of landowners’ rights under the free entry system and the subsequent need for “free, prior and informed consent” (FPIC). The thesis also considers some of the challenges to the adoption and implementation of the right to FPIC. These challenges include embedded institutional structures like the free entry mining system, international political economy (IPE) as shaped by international institutions and powerful corporations, as well as concerns regarding ‘local’ power structures or the legitimacy of representatives of communities affected by extractive projects. The thesis concludes that in order for Canada to be truly recognized as a leader in the global extractive industry, it must establish legal norms domestically to ensure that Canadian mining companies and residents can be held accountable when there is evidence of environmental and/or human rights violations associated with the activities of Canadian mining companies abroad. The thesis also concludes that Canada needs to address underlying structural issues such as the free entry mining system and implement FPIC, in order to curb “accumulation by dispossession” by the extractive industry, both domestically and abroad.

The past several decades witness a fast growth of international cooperation in scientific research. Among all the key factors underlying the cross-country cooperation, the contractual interface between research teams in different nationality is of particular importance to the success of an international scientific cooperation project; that is, the decision to take a formal or flexible interface (or a structural or relational design of governance) is shaped by the imperfectness of knowledge market conditions faced by research teams. But once made, the project interface determines the extent to which mutual resources are exchanged and reconfigured or even the ways new knowledge is jointly created. To heed the recent calls for more scholarly inquiries into the endogenous nature of governance decisions, this study is an attempt to develop a comparative perspective on the performance implication of the project interface design in the context of international scientific collaboration. The study concerns not only how the objective conditions of a knowledge market affect the project interface choices but how the unobservable factors (at the team- and dyadic levels) yield performance effects along with project interface design. Using Heckman’s two-stage model in a sample of 217 international scientific cooperation projects, the results of this study show that the collective knowledge creation of an international science cooperation project is better explained by the hidden factors, namely, team competence and inter-team social capital, than the project interface choices. Furthermore, the misfit between knowledge market conditions and interface design, i.e., either under- or over-guarded interface, is detrimental to the collective performance. The evidence also points out that performance-deteriorating effect is less significant for projects adopting flexible interactive mechanisms than those with strict ones in the presence of such a misfit.

The subjectivity and objectivity of the resources limitations cause project’s risks. Enterprise resources limitations are dynamic and unavoidable, thus projecting significant uncertainty and risk on various projects and programs. The duration of projects can range from just a few months to a few years. Project risks are entwined relationship among design, manufacturing, schedules, quality, etc. If project management does not take into consideration of the various factors during early analysis and planning phase, not only increased risk on the subject projects, engineering and cost efficiency are also greatly sacrificed.This research is focus on the project’s risks caused by the subjectivity of the resources constraints (project management, technique, quality, schedule, cost…etc.). Applying the Theory Of Constraints (T.O.C.) to the project management in order to increase the project successfully. Aerospace industries project risks are varied by the different stages of the project life cycle because of the changed resources limitations. Thus introducing theory of constraint techniques to reduce time to product delivery has become very attractive. This research is applying the TOC thinking process’s three major issues and five steps of the focusing process to analyze effects that occur in the project environment so that core causes can be discovered and simple solutions developed. The religious use of currently reality trees, evaporating clouds, future reality trees, prerequisite trees and transition trees in problem resolution at all levels to enhance project/program success rate and reduce project schedules. Finally, as an example of international aerospace cooperative project of H company, by using the TOC to meet the performance requirement and on time delivered the first shipset.

Sustainable development empowers poverty-affected people and communities by strengthening their capabilities. HRDP, a Bangladeshi development agency aims to achieve this goal by offering literacy classes and primary school edu-cation. In recent years, they have encountered obstacles to their empowerment strategy. Socio-cultural mediated expectations and moral obligations impeded the capability approach. This case study seeks to research the effects of entitlement and patronage on the empowerment of people in one of their projects. To be able to understand these structures and to determine possible implications for the asset-based ap-proach, 14 interviews and two focus-group discussions with local stakeholders have been conducted in the village of Gabtali, Bangladesh. Findings revealed that people desire to invest their own assets to increase their well-being, but expect assistance for this to happen. The study suggests align-ing expectations and obligations with the capability approach and also suggests a few ideas how this could be accomplished.

This study, taking the strategic alliance of non-profit organizations as the main interview subject, discusses the key success factors of the partnership mechanism between International Cooperation and Development Fund (ICDF) and Ming Chuan University (MCU). It takes the cooperation case of ICDF and MCU as the study scope. Qualitative case study methods and in-depth interviews are applied to conclude the success factors and other results. By doing so, this research illustrates the partnership of the non-profit organizations to form strategic partners, which should not only consider the mutual strategic means, but also take the complementation and collocation of such conditions as the structure, ability and resources into account. Furthermore, this study is strengthened with an additional quantitative approach by analyzing survey data collected from the students involved in the collaborative program between the ICDF and MCU in an attempt to understand their living and learning situations in Taiwan. The alliance between the ICDF and MCU helps to achieve the combination and benefit-sharing of complementary resources and increase the flexibility of partnership. It has not only enhanced and diversified the effects but also helped to share the uncertain operation risks. With this strategic alliance, the university can earn the benefits of resources complementation, benefit sharing and other win-win results. As the alliance has been initiated by the ICDF, however, the school partners may be replaced easily. As a result, when considering the alliance, the ICDF also takes the benefits and disadvantages into account for the purpose of maximizing the effects of alliance operations. The significance of alliance is to cope with the challenges brought by the structural change of the labor market, improve the national competitiveness and enrich the action resources by seeking cooperation subjects and operating alliance. The alliance established between ICDF and Ming Chuan University is to gather the strengths of these two institutions. In addition to the increased power and strengths as well as the external representativeness stemming from the alliance, the collaborative program, via frequent discussions at different levels, has also enabled MCU to enhance academic and practical experiences in cultivating foreign students, laying the foundation for the establishment of the University’s talent training networks. According to the findings, the key success factors in this strategic alliance case include: Teaching in English, emphasis on management, regular review meetings, high degree of adaptability and flexibility from both sides, and MCU’s strong integrative capability and highly internationalized campus. The findings of this study can provide reference for the ICDF to promote and implement cooperation projects with Ming Chuan University and other schools in the future.

Résumé :

La faillite internationale est une matière complexe qui a donné lieu à un long et vif débat doctrinal entre les tenants des systèmes de la territorialité et de l'universalité. Une faillite est internationale lorsqu'elle met en présence un débiteur possédant des biens ou des créanciers dans plus d'un pays. Puisque la matière de faillite est souvent très différente d'un pays à l'autre, l'application du système de la pluralité, retenue dans la plupart des pays, soulève plusieurs problèmes particulièrement en ce qui concerne la coordination entre les diverses faillites et le manque de protection des créanciers, notamment parce qu'elle accorde des effets limités à la reconnaissance des procédures de faillite étrangères. En effet, en présence de procédures de faillite concurrentes il s'agit de répondre aux questions suivantes: quelle est la juridiction compétente pour ouvrir et organiser la faillite? Quelle est la loi applicable? Dans quels États cette faillite va-t-elle produire des effets? Dans le présent mémoire, il s'agit d'établir une comparaison entre le système canadien et le système européen en matière de faillite internationale. Le législateur canadien a récemment envisagé de modifier sa législation sur la faillite pour permettre une meilleure coopération internationale en matière de faillite internationale. Le projet canadien C-55 reprend pour l'essentiel les dispositions contenues dans la loi-type de la commission des Nations-Unis pour le droit commercial international (CNUDCI) sur «l'insolvabilité internationale». Ainsi, il permet de faciliter réellement la reconnaissance des décisions de faillite étrangères, il accorde une plus grande portée aux effets de cette reconnaissance et il prévoit une coordination des procédures multiples en établissant une «hiérarchisation» des procédures de faillite relativement semblable au système européen. Cependant, le projet canadien atteint moins bien l'objectif d'universalité que le Règlement européen 1346/2000 au niveau du traitement égalitaire entre les créanciers locaux et les créanciers étrangers. Si la loi-type offre à tous les États une utilité pratique considérable pour les nombreux cas de coopération internationale, l'harmonisation de la faillite internationale dépendra de son adoption dans les différentes législations. Bien que plusieurs pays aient inséré ce modèle dans leur législation sur la faillite, il n'est pas encore possible, à l'heure actuelle, de parler d'un droit international de la faillite.
International insolvency is a complex subject that has given rise to a long and sharp doctrinal debate between supporters of systems of territorialism and of universality. An insolvency is international where a debtor possesses goods or creditors in more than one country. Since the matter of bankruptcy is often very different from one country to another, the application of the system of plurality, which is retained in the majority of countries, raises several problems, particularly with regard to the coordination between several bankruptcies and the lack of protection of creditors, largely because plurality grants effects that are limited to the recognition of the foreign bankruptcy procedures. Indeed, in the presence of concurrent procedures of bankruptcy, the following questions must be addressed: Which is the court having jurisdiction to open and organize the bankruptcy? Which law is applicable? In which States will this bankruptcy produce effects? This thesis will establish a comparison between the Canadian system and the European system with respect to international bankruptcy. The Canadian legislator recently planned to modify its legislation on bankruptcy in order to better foster international co-operation in the realm of international bankruptcy. The Canadian Bill C-55 largely reiterates the provisions contained in the Model Law on cross border insolvency (UNCITRAL). Bill C-55 thus facilitates the recognition of foreign decisions of bankruptcy, it grants a greater scope to the effects of this recognition and it aims to coordinate multiple bankruptcy procedures by establishing a "hierarchisation" there of that is relatively similar to the European system. However, the Canadian project does not achieve the goal of universality as well as does the European regulation 1346/2000 with respect to equal treatment between local creditors and foreign creditors. If the Model Law offers all States the considerable practical utility for many incidences of international co-operation, the harmonization of international bankruptcy will depend on the adoption of the Model Law in various domestic legislations. Although several countries have inserted this model in their legislation on bankruptcy, it is not yet possible, at the present time, to speak of an international law of bankruptcy.
