Assesses the extent to which think tanks are effective in exercising influence beyond the political and policy spheres.

Depuis quelques annees, les confreries et les marabouts qui agissaient en milieu rural ont reussi a etendre leurs activites en milieu urbain. L'auteur propose de souligner certains aspects du role joue par les confreries et les marabouts dans la vie sociale et politique. Les marabouts apparaissent aupres des instances politiques comme des "marabouts de cour" tout en etant responsables de communautes autonomes, comme il en fut d'ailleurs de tout temps. Seulement la difference reside actuellement dans le fait que les elites politiques et les leaders religieux sont issus des memes milieux. L'auteur presente les differents elements propres a l'islam en Mauritanie ainsi que sa dimension transnationale. Il constate que le nombre de ceux qui sont affilies a une confrerie est actuellement en declin et qu'une rupture est intervenue dans la maniere dont se determinent les affiliations a celle-ci. La question qui se pose maintenant, est de savoir dans quelle mesure le nouveau mouvement islamique sera susceptible de creer de nouvelles identites pour ceux qui s'y attachent et de fournir la base de nouvelles alliances trans-ethniques.

Published online: November 2019 ; Global policy making is taking shape in a wide range of public sector activities managed by transnational policy communities. Public policy scholars have long recognised the impact of globalisation on the industrialised knowledge economies of OECD states, as well as on social and economic policy challenges faced by developing and transition states. But the focus has been on domestic politics and policy. Today, policy studies literature is building new concepts of 'transnational public-private partnership', 'trans-governmentalism' and 'science diplomacy' to account for rapid growth of global policy networks and informal international organisations delivering public goods and services. This Element goes beyond traditional texts which focus on public policy as an activity of states to outline how global policy making has driven many global and regional transformations over the past quarter-century. ; -- 1 Public policy for global problems -- 2 Creating global policy : public and private constructions -- 3 Transnational networks : policy in partnership -- 4 Global policy persuasion : from evidence-based policy to science diplomacy -- 5 Navigating global policy processes

Global policy making is unfurling in distinctive ways above traditional nation-state policy processes. New practices of transnational administration are emerging inside international organizations but also alongside the trans-governmental networks of regulators and inside global public-private partnerships. Mainstream policy and public administration studies have tended to analyse the capacity of public sector hierarchies to globalize national policies. By contrast, this Handbook investigates new public spaces of transnational policy making, the design and delivery of global public goods and services, and the interdependent roles of transnational administrators who move between business bodies, government agencies, international organizations, and professional associations. This Handbook is novel in taking the concepts and theories of public administration and policy studies to get inside the black box of global governance. Transnational administration is a multi-actor and multi-scalar endeavour having manifestations at the local, urban, sub-regional, subnational, regional, national, supranational, supra-regional, transnational, international, and global scales. These scales of 'local' and 'global' are not neatly bounded and nested spaces but are articulated together in complex patterns of policy activity. These transnational patterns represent an opportunity and a challenge for the study of both public administration and policy studies. The contributors to this Handbook advance their analysis beyond the methodological nationalism of mainstream approaches to re-invigorate policy studies and public administration by considering policy processes that are transnational and the many new global spaces of administrative practice.
