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.

International audience ; Three cities are studed in order to understand their governance of city-branding. The human organisation, the feasibility and the objectives are compared. 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. Les dynamiques territoriales basées sur des organisations politiques permettent de comparer trois démarches qui peinent à aboutir, que ce soit en coopérations intra-territoriales qu'extra-erritoriales

Challenges in Public Health Governance: The Canadian Experience is an examination of public health from a governance perspective. Part 1 begins with an examination of the fragmented nature of public health in Canada, identifies some major fault lines that characterize the public health realm, and reviews briefly the notion of network governance. Part 2 looks at specific public health theatres: crisis issues such as SARS and the HlNl pandemic, and the ongoing work of the Canadian Heart Health Initiative. It also examines the Pan-Canadian Public Health Network as the key piece of network infrastructure at the national level.
