Abstract This paper aims to reflect about the contradictions of international cooperation for development in Haiti that can be summarized in two perspectives: the North-South cooperation (NSC) and South-South cooperation (SSC). The dynamics of relationships can mix them (N-SSC). We identified governmental and nongovernmental particularly in health, linked to the OECD, the ALBA-TCP and UNASUR as empirical sources for reflection. The OECD privileges the perspective of NSC: commitment of developed nations with undeveloped. It operates mainly through NGOs. The ALBA-TCP and UNASUR have followed the perspective of SSC: commitment and solidarity among nations alike. They emphasize the horizontal partnership based on solidarity, respect for national sovereignty and peculiarities of each country. The resumption of the categories imperialism and internationalism may contribute to the understanding and analysis the contradictions in the international development agenda, illustrated by how these different actor in Haiti organize their actions. While the first one indicates bonding mechanisms geopolitical hierarchy, the latter suggests possibilities for overcoming these mechanisms.

Resumo Este artigo objetiva refletir sobre contradições da cooperação internacional para o desenvolvimento no Haiti, resumidas em duas perspectivas: cooperação Norte-Sul (CNS) e cooperação Sul-Sul (CSS). A dinâmica das relações pode misturá-las (CN-SS). Identificamos atores governamentais e não governamentais, na área da saúde, vinculados à OCDE, à ALBA-TCP e à UNASUL como fontes empíricas para a reflexão. A OCDE se orienta, predominantemente pela CNS, ou seja, pelo compromisso de assistência que os países desenvolvidos oferecem aos subdesenvolvidos. Opera principalmente através de ONGs. Nas ações da ALBA-TCP e da Unasul predominam a perspectiva da CSS: comprometimento solidário entre nações iguais. Enfatizam a parceria horizontal baseada na solidariedade, no respeito à soberania e peculiaridades de cada país. A retomada das categorias imperialismo e internacionalismo contribui para compreensão e análise das contradições na agenda internacional do desenvolvimento, ilustradas pelas formas mediante as quais esses diferentes atores organizam suas ações no Haiti. Enquanto as dos países da OCDE denotam mecanismos geopolíticos hierárquicos, as ações dos países vinculados à ALBA-TCP e da UNASUR sugerem possibilidades de superação desses mecanismos, buscando a cooperação genuína e autodeterminada.

"Proceedings of the Twenty-second International Conference on Knowledge, Culture, and Change in Organizations, hosted by the Alvernia University, 14-15 January 2022. The conference featured research addressing the following special focus: "Organizational Memetics: Nature-Centered Perspectives on Organizations" and annual themes: Organizational Intangibles and Tangible Value: What are the intangible drivers which determine the livability of organizations for insiders and their credibility and attraction to outsiders?; Knowledge Economies as the Constant: Ours is the era of the knowledge economy, but when has this not been the truth?; Organizations as Knowledge Makers: What is this nebulous thing 'knowledge' and how do organizations create, innovate, and manage it?; The Value of Culture and the Demand of Change: How do we guide change to social, stakeholder and market dynamics grounded in principles of ethics, equality and care for those in our organizations and the societies we live in?"--

The world has changed radically since 1989, when the General Assembly declared the period from 1990 to 1999 as the United Nations Decade of International Law. During that time, the international community claimed some major achievements as reflected by the adoption of conventions and treaties. This publication presents a collection of essays from legal advisers of States and international organizations, all of whom are among those committed to promoting respect for international law. Their contribution provides a practical perspective on international law, viewed from the standpoint of those involved in its formation, application and administration.

RESUMEN. Este artículo examina la actuación del Banco Europeo de Inversiones (BEI) bajo un marco de estudio adaptado al estudio comparativo de las Organizaciones Financieras Internacionales (OFIs). Basándose en investigaciones previas, contribuye a la literatura emergente en análisis comparativo de políticas. Proporciona las directrices para analizar y comparar OFIs altamente criticadas como el BEI, el mayor prestamista mundial pese a la poca atención académica recibida. ; ABSTRACT. This paper explores the performance of the European Investment Bank (EIB) under an adapted framework for the comparative study of International Financial Organizations (IFOs). Building on previous research it contributes to the emerging literature on comparative policy analysis. It provides the guidelines needed to analyse and compare highly criticized IFOs like the EIB, the largest worldwide lender despite the scant academic attention paid to it. The paper argues the EIB shows signs of bad performance; policy output does not fulfil the institution?s goals as stated in the Statutes. To demonstrate this, the article leads the way in providing the first combined qualitative and quantitative analysis of EIB lending to European Union members from 1991 to 2015. We conclude by stressing the progressive mechanization of EIB loans at the expense of securing the institution's mission.

Basándose en investigaciones previas, contribuye a la literatura emergente en análisis comparativo de políticas. Proporciona las directrices para analizar y comparar OFls altamente criticadas como el BEI, el mayor prestamista mundial pese a la poca atención académica recibida. El articulo muestra que los préstamos del Banco no cumplen los objetivos especificados en sus Estatutos a través de un análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo combinado de los préstamos otorgados a países miembros de la Unión Europea desde 1991 hasta 2015. Concluimos destacando la progresiva mecanización de los préstamos del Banco a expensas de garantizar su misión ; This paper explores the performance of the European Investment Bank (EIB) under an adapted framework for the comparative study of International Financial Organizations (IFOs).
