This chapter reviews empirical literature on foreign aid and QoG. The chapter begins with a description of how scholarship on foreign aid and QoG developed in conjunction with prominent debates in the development community. The chapter discusses three major debates: whether or not QoG moderates foreign aid effectiveness, whether or not donors give aid selectively based on QoG, and whether or not foreign aid undermines or can help build QoG. With regard to aid effectiveness, the most recent literature suggests that aid can be effective even under conditions of poor QoG. With regard to selectivity, the existing literature shows an increasing selectivity for overall aid flows since the end of the Cold War and provides evidence of selectivity in terms of type of aid. The evidence that aid undermines QoG is not as strong as has been claimed by some of the initial studies in this literature. The chapter concludes by suggesting ways forward for all three literatures.

The difficulties of branding are about the leadership, the restriction in the field of discourse and the capacity to be in conflict. ; A travers trois terrains, la gouvernance de la fabrication de l'image de marque de la ville est questionnée en matière d'organisation, de faisabilité et d'objectifs à atteindre.

The "loi pour une république numérique" act and the Open Science Plan support the opening of public data to citizens, who finance their production, and the sharing of scientific data to encourage innovation from their reuse. While these measures are legitimate, they require significant changes in practice or even real paradigm shifts, which raise questions, despite the avenues launched by the open science plan.The objective of our group is to identify these necessary changes, from the point of view of daily scientific practices, in order to anticipate possible blockages and make recommendations to prevent them. In order to that aim, we have mobilised our knowledge of practices in the laboratories of several disciplines (disciplines represented: biology, physics, history and art history), from the point of view of several professions (researchers, professors, librairian, archivist). ; L'ouverture des données de la recherche demande des changements dans les pratiques scientifiques quotidiennes.

Includes bibliographical references. ; Presented at the Building resilience of Mongolian rangelands: a trans-disciplinary research conference held on June 9-10, 2015 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. ; Mongolia's socio-ecological rangeland systems face a number of critical, contemporary challenges. Climatic change, persistent poverty and growing land use conflicts, especially around mining, pose complex problems both for herders and policy-makers. Furthermore, there is renewed emphasis on meeting Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and Aichi targets, following the publication of Mongolia's 5th National CBD report in March 2014, and the development of a new National Biodiversity Strategic Action Plan. (E)valuation of the contributions of rangeland ecosystem services (ES) to biodiversity and livelihoods/wellbeing are highlighted as priorities for future planning therein. ES thinking, valuation and commodification are becoming increasingly influential in other contemporary policy initiatives, not least through the development of the national REDD+ roadmap, Business and Biodiversity offset programmes and Government commitments to the 'Green Economy'. Nonetheless critical questions remain about the ES paradigm itself, values/ valuation of ES and how these may be enacted and supported through policy. Here we report on a three year Darwin-Initiative funded project, which aimed to 'generate policy and practice relevant knowledge of values of ecosystem services (ES) in Mongolia, and test the efficacy of Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) schemes, in order to enhance biodiversity and livelihoods'. Aims were realised through i) participatory mapping and analysis of ES, including cultural ES, with 300 herder households across four case study sites, and the development of innovative methods for non-economic valuation; ii) co-development and implementation of a novel rangeland payment for ES (PES) scheme at the four sites, through the Plan Vivo standard; iii) analysis of the impacts ES and of the PES scheme on biodiversity and livelihoods. Methods used included deliberative valuation approaches, mapping, ranking and choice modelling to examine group and individual values and trade-offs between ES across ecologically contrasting areas. We also applied the SOLVES (Social Values of ES) GIS model to highlight spatial, place-specific dimensions of ES values, as part of a series of wider biodiversity, livelihoods and ES assessments. Results highlight spatial and temporal diversities in ES values, importance of cultural ES for wellbeing, and the potential of carefully designed PES schemes to contribute to more resilient socio-ecological rangeland systems in the future.
This text is organised as follows. After an introduction setting out the conceptual expectations of governance, he addressed in turn: the reference to the contract; ownership and proprietyism; the restoration of political liberalism through economic liberalism; the concept of regulation; governance and governance; sovereignty; the concept of governance; governance as a sign of the emergence of the corporate figure and the "citizens' organisation"; the contours of the "liberal moment"; privatisation and "liberal moment" (the duality of "market and non-market organisations", the effects of the operation of organisations, the "dissociations-associations" of the field, privatisation); a focus on the "law of airain of oligarchy" by R. Michels; a focus: The tragedy of municipalities (or the impossibility of preventing the use of a resource) and the tragedy of 'anti-common' (or the possibility of preventing the use of a resource) or the 'market state' dilemma; a focus on the creatives comment. ; Master ; This text is organised as follows.

The enforcement of the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) is not such an administrative issue in France as it is in other countries, since competent authorities (water agencies) already have jurisdiction over major watersheds (districts). As far as the WFD implementation is concerned, setting and reaching objectives of water quality (good status) and implementing cost recovery policy are more challenging for France and will require necessary changes and adjustments. Water in France is not managed according to its ownership, but its uses. In this chapter, after (i) an overview of the water governance institutional framework, (ii) the water governance arrangements is tackled: the main stakeholders is described and key issues of the current process of making decision are dealt with, in the general context of implementing the WFD. The original institutional tools developed to integrate different water uses for the sake of ecosystems preservation are also considered.
