Award date: 22 November 2017 ; Supervisor: Professor Nehal Bhuta ; This thesis is an attempt to understand the multistakeholder model of governance within the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) through the lens of Global Administrative Law (GAL). ICANN is presented within GAL scholarship as a successful example that has incorporated principles found within GAL. This thesis questions that notion, and presents a narrative of ICANN that demonstrates some of the normative issues underlying the incorporation of GAL principles. In this thesis, I argue that ICANN does not neatly fit into the GAL narrative and is in fact an attempt akin to fitting a square peg into a round hole, by ignoring the salient features of ICANN. Ultimately, I believe that this enquiry will contribute to GAL scholarship as well as the present understanding of ICANN. For the former, this thesis discusses the most important principles of GAL, namely accountability, transparency, participation and engagement, and publicness. For the latter, this thesis highlights the shortcomings of ICANN and gives a yardstick on which ICANN could be measured.

Face à la chute du prix des céréales et au mécontentement paysan qui en résulte, Napoléon III décide, le 22 janvier 1866, d'organiser une vaste enquête agricole afin de satisfaire l'opinion publique. L'enquête va dès lors se déployer non seulement sur tout le territoire de l'Empire français, mais aussi dans toute l'Europe, en Afrique du Nord, au Moyen-Orient, aux États-Unis, etc. Ce mémoire propose d'étudier son déroulement au sein de la Bretagne dite historique, divisée pour l'occasion en deux circonscriptions. Pour mener à bien cette vaste enquête, des commissions départementales de notables sont aussitôt formées par les préfets. En principe, tout un chacun peut venir s'exprimer oralement devant ces assemblées. Il reste qu'en Bretagne, l'influence exercée par les propriétaires notables, souvent issus de la noblesse, tend rapidement à canaliser voire étouffer la parole populaire. Une première partie se consacre aux enjeux politiques et au fonctionnement de l'enquête ; la deuxième cherche à restituer le tableau qu'elle livre de l'agriculture bretonne ; une troisième partie, enfin, tente d'analyser la mentalité des notables bretons telle que celle-ci filtre à travers leurs témoignages.

The Law No. 22/1999 concerning Local Government has become a debate concerning whether or not local or the central government is ready to implement the law. Decentralization gives the opportunity for local governments to enchance their potential resources development. They can create competitiveness In city and regional development that in the end will improve the prosperity of the community. Sometimes, however, local governments have their own interest on development, that do not consider the impact to other regions and this cause a lot of conflict among regions. Hence the cooperation among authorities is needed in order to have an integrated development. One example of important aspect in development that needs an integrated approach is infrastructure. The availability of infrastructure will be highly demanded for the development "" especially in the urban areas. Yet, for the recent time the infrastructure services cannot support the demand Hence, the regional approach will be a crucial option where local government develops a regional cooperation with other au theorities in infrastructure development and management. This paper tries to review how the procedure or regional cooperation is developed in the infrastructure development and management, particularly for regional solid waste disposal site.

The performance of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) is rated as an important component of the economic development in Indonesia. Indonesian government has set strategic steps to fix the financial value of the SOEs. Knowledge management is one of strategic implementation of SOEs. The result of the researcher's analysis reveals that the implementation of the knowledge management does not always give a positive contribution to the performance of the SOEs. Accordingly, it is important to conduct a research related to the efforts taken in implementing knowledge management and its impacts on organizational performance of the SOEs. The main objective of this study is to figure out the relationship between knowledge management and organizational performance by involving organizational learning as the intervening variable. This study involves six state-owned enterprises in Indonesia. The total number of respondents successfully examined were 189 employees of the six state-owned enterprises. The data was processed by SEM technique using AMOS 22 Software and the result shows that knowledge management has a significant impact by 45% toward organizational performance, and organizational learning influences significantly by 44% on organizational performance.

This paper presents the statistical analysis of the acceptance and awareness on the Free of Plastics (FoP) campaign implemented in Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) and Kajang. Generally, FoP campaign is introduced by some state governments in Malaysia especially in Selangor in order to reduce plastics usage by conducting FoP day in all hypermarkets, supermarkets and small retail shops. Universiti Tenaga Nasional which is located in Bangi, Selangor took the opportunity to play an important role to educate and create awareness among its students. Therefore, UNITEN has taken an initiative by conducting the similar FoP campaign every day in all food courts. The study is conducted through a social survey by distributing a set of questionnaire in UNITEN and Kajang. The questionnaire consists of 22 questions which covers demographic information of the respondents and their feedbacks on FoP campaign. Other tools used are passive observations through time interval sampling method and analysis of survey questionnaire data using SPSS Version 15.1. The Results from survey and observations show that the acceptance of FoP campaign among UNITEN respondents are satisfactory while in Kajang many respondents are still clueless about the objective of FoP campaign.

2-Hydroxydihydropyran-5-ones behave as excellent polyfunctional reagents able to react with enals through oxa-Michael/Michael process cascade under the combination of iminium and enamine catalysis. These racemic hemiacetalic compounds are used as unconventional O-pronucleophiles in the initial oxa-Michael reaction, also leading to the formation of a single stereoisomer under a dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) process. Importantly, by using β-aryl or β-alkyl substituted α,β-unsaturated substrates as initial Michael acceptors either kinetically or thermodynamically controlled diastereoisomers were formed with high stereoselection through the careful selection of the reaction conditions. Finally, a complete experimental and computational study confirmed the initially proposed DKR process during the catalytic oxa-Michael/Michael cascade reaction and also explained the kinetic/thermodynamic pathway operating in each case. ; This research was supported by the Spanish MINECO (FEDER CTQ2014-52107-P, FEDER-CTQ2013-44367-C2-1-P and FEDER CTQ2016-76155-R), the Basque Government (Grupos IT908-16), UPV/EHU (UFI QOSYC 11/22) and Government of Aragón (Grupos Consolidados, E.10).

Following the severe attacks by the so-called "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" on the Yazidi population, which started in summer 2014, the state government of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, funded a Special-Quota Project to bring 1,000 very ill or left-behind women and children who were being held hostage to 22 cities and towns in Baden-Württemberg to receive integrated care. Here, we report for the first time on the cases of four Yazidi women living in Ulm, Germany, focusing on the clinically observed and psychometrically assessed mental phenomena or disorders. Our primary aim was to explore what International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision diagnoses are present in this population. Although highly traumatized, these women were suffering primarily from adjustment disorder rather than posttraumatic stress disorder according to official classification systems. Despite their symptoms of depression and anxiety, the women's responses to self-assessment questionnaires provided no evidence of compulsion, somatization, or eating disorders. The results suggest that further investigation of the individual-level effects of rape and torture, as well the historic, systemic, and collective effects, e.g., on families and societies, is required.

En juillet 2015, le sommet de la zone euro fait part de l'existence de "sérieux doutes" sur le caractère soutenable de la dette grecque. La possibilité d'un reprofilage de la dette est envisagé et sa discussion reportée à la réalisation de la première évaluation des mesures d'ajustement mises en oeuvre par la Grèce. Toute décote nominale est cependant formellement exclue, car contraire au droit de l'Union. Les discussions se sont ouvertes au printemps 2016 sur les modalités d'allègement de la dette publique de la Grèce. Le sujet a été au coeur de la réunion de l'Eurogroupe du 22 mai. Aucun accord n'a été trouvé, mais les discussions continuent. Dans ce contexte, Frédéric Allemand a présenté le 17 mai dernier une communication sur la saisine des opérations de restructuration par le droit de l'Union lors du séminaire de recherche pluridisciplinaire "Les administrations publiques à l'épreuve de leur dette" organisé par Jean-François Boudet (Université Paris II) et Caroline Lequesne-Roth (Université de Nice). L'auteur conclut à la compétence de l'Union pour encadrer la restructuration des dettes publiques des États membres.

State legislative opposition to President Obama's healthcare reforms invites renewed attention to the dynamics of power sharing and the allocation of sovereignty in the U.S. federal constitution. Between 2010 and early 2016, 22 state legislatures enacted laws and measures challenging or opting out of broad health reforms related to mandatory provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Some scholars have seen in these bills a resurgence of the doctrine of nullification, discredited because of its historical associations, specifically with those of secession, Jim Crow and Massive Resistance. Others take a more nuanced view and argue that the so called "Health Care Freedom Acts" were pragmatically designed to trigger challenges to the PPACA that can work within the contemporary framework of constitutional orthodoxy. This paper analyses the language of the Health Care Freedom Acts and compares them with the Massive Resistance resolutions to enquire whether states have learned from the lessons of the past to develop more successful strategies for challenging the unwanted reach of federal law and regulation.

This article will examine the driving dynamics behind the increasing relations between Turkey and Somalia. Turkey has been an important actor on the African politics since the AK Party (Justice and Development Party) came to power in 2002. For instance, while Turkey only had 12 embassies across the continent until 2005, it currently has 35. Turkey is today among the countries in the world having one of the most diplomatic missions on the African continent. Turkey's economic relations with the continent have also changed significantly. Whereas Turkey's total trade with Africa was 2 billion dollars in 2005, it is presently about 22 billion dollars. Importantly, Turkey is aiming to increase her total trade with Africa up to 50 billion dollars until 2020. Furthermore, Turkish NGOs are actively involved in many humanitarian projects in the different African countries. Turkey has particularly paid a great deal of attention to increasing political, economic and social relations with Somalia during the AK Party government. This article argues that the AK Party has been establishing a new foreign policy identity and transforming the parameters of the traditional Turkish foreign policy through the social interactions with Somalia.

Perjalanan sejarah pengaturan desa dalam sistem ketatanegaraan sejak kemerdekaan hingga kini, bahkan dari era sebelum masa kemerdekaan mengalami pasang surut mengikuti arus perubahan dan dinamika sosial politik. Di era kolonial Belanda dan Jepang desa sangat terabaikan. Bahkan dari masa awal kemerdekaan hingga Orde Lama yang banyak melahirkan produk hukum yang mengatur desa, justru semakin membuat desa tergerus dan terpinggirkan. Di masa Orde Baru desa diatur tersendiri dalam UU Nomor 5 Tahun 1979 yang menganut penyeragaman seperti desa di Jawa, justru menyebabkan eksistensi masyarakat hukum adat di luar Jawa mengalami reduksi luar biasa. Seiring jatuhnya Orde Baru dan digantikan Orde Reformasi, eksistensi desa dan masyarakat hukum adat direduksi menjadi bagian dari wilayah atau daerah kabupaten/kota yang pengaturannya disatukan dalam UU Nomor 22 Tahun 1999. UU Nomor 6 Tahun 2014 akhirnya mengakomodir eksistensi desa dan desa adat. Keberpihakan UU ini terhadap desa dalam praktiknya layak untuk dikaji dan diuji. Tulisan ini akan mendeskripsikan perkembangan pengaturan desa dalam sistem ketatanegaraan Indonesia dari awal kemerdekaan hingga sekarang. Kata kunci: desa mawa cara negara mawa tata, desa, sistem ketatanegaraan

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivos identificar las construcciones metodológicas que despliegan los residentes de un instituto de Educación Física en sus intervenciones pedagógicas en escuelas de Educación Primaria en la provincia de San Juan, y describir las características que presentan, dando cuenta del modo en que facilitan u obstaculizan el proceso de construcción del conocimiento. Conformaron parte de este proyecto "exploratorio descriptivo" las intervenciones pedagógicas llevadas adelante por 12 (doce) residentes durante 22 (veintidós) clases en 3 (tres) escuelas coformadoras. A través de una metodología cualitativa, en cada una de las observaciones se dejó constancia de las mismas a partir de un registro descriptivo y una copia del plan de clase propuesto por cada uno de los estudiantes. El juego, los juegos modificados, la clase concebida como una unidad, el clima de confianza y seguridad, los resabios de la gimnasia militar, las situaciones problemas, el trabajo cooperativo y el conocimiento de la neurociencia aplicado a la clase, representan los principales factores que afectan las propuestas de acción de los futuros docentes de Educación Física.

Water scenario in India has been now fast changing because of increasing population, rising demand for irrigation to raise high-yielding varieties of crops, rapid urbanization and industrialization, electricity generation, impact of global warming, erratic rainfall, among others. Water for Life Decade [2005-15] and the annual World Water Day being celebrated on March 22 every year has significance to create awareness among all stakeholders that water is finite, scarce, costly, precious and has competing demand. Water should, therefore, be efficiently managed for country's sustainable socio-economic development. Drinking water in India has been significantly dependent upon the monsoon rains and increased climate variability is expected to impact it. Despite Government's several initiatives the current drinking water scenario needs strategic action plan to ensure that safe and quality drinking water is delivered in rural India by 2022. It is in this context this article highlights the Government's initiatives, current scenario and performance under the rural drinking water supply system and suggests strategic action plan for efficient management of rural drinking water supply system.
