On the basis of the legitimate interrogations raised by the emergence of an innovative concept, this research intends to analyze several revealing variables of a State in action. In this study, we aim at re-thinking international policy-making, with references to "co-development" under the prism of the French-Malian and French Senegalese trajectories. The study seeks to explore "co-development" by looking into its essence (meaning setting) and its conditions of existence (action setting). The findings of this study show that this policy as a process has major intellectuel and practical challenges; therby displaying "co-development", not as an instrumental rhetoric, but as a product of specific institutions on the France-Africa (Sahel) "double space". This analysis examines the interaction of several actors at different levels (local, regional, national, transnational, supranational, international) and public and private sectors which jointly participate in the decision-making process and in the implementation of co-development policy. Specifically, we analyze the construction process of the concept of "co-development" as an international public policy, and the dynamic governmentality of this new political rationality made up of multilevel factors. ; Partant des interrogations légitimes soulevées par l'émergence d'un concept novateur, ce travail de recherche entend analyser plusieurs variables révélatrices d'un Etat en action. Ainsi, penser l'action publique internationale du co-développement sous le prisme des trajectoires franco-malienne et franco-sénégalaise, implique de relever ce qui en constitue son essence (mise en sens) et ses conditions d'existence (mise en action). Il en résulte que cette Policy comme processus a des conséquences intellectuelles et pratiques majeures qui induisent un autre modèle d'action publique.

Under what conditions are effective international regimes for the promotion of human rights likely to emerge? Case studies of European institutions — the European Convention on Human Rights, the European Community and the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe — confirm hypotheses more consistent with Liberal theories of international relations than their Institutionalist or Realist counterparts. The uniquely successful mechanisms of the European regime, in particular its fine-grained system of individual petition and supranational judicial review, function not by external sanctions or reciprocity, but by `shaming' and `coopting' domestic law-makers, judges and citizens, who pressure governments from within for compliance. The evolution of these mechanisms presupposes the existence of an autonomous independent civil society and robust domestic legal institutions and, even in the relatively propitious circumstances of postwar Europe, required several generations to evolve. Such institutions appear to be, with only a few exceptions, most successful when they seek to harmonize and perfect respect for human rights among nations that already effectively guarantee basic rights, rather than introducing human rights to new jurisdictions. Those nations in which individuals, groups or governments seek to improve or legitimate their own democratic practices benefit the most from international human rights regimes.

"Between 1946 and 1952, Albert O. Hirschman, a German-born economist and wartime refugee, worked as an economic analyst in the Research Division of the Federal Reserve Board of the United States. He was first in charge of the Western European desk; later he was the Fed's representative to the Economic Cooperation Administration, the organization responsible for the Marshall Plan. In that capacity, Hirschman wrote a number of internal reports about early reconstruction policies in Europe, the first efforts at intra-European cooperation, and the uncertainties that surrounded the shaping of a new international economic order with the United States at its core. Europe, the Marshall Plan, and the Post-War International Order is a collection of these interrelated pieces compiled into book form. In aggregate they provide the reader with a behind the scenes view of the American rationale for an economically rebuilt and integrated Europe, written by someone who would go on to become one the the twentieth century's most significant economic thinkers. This collection offers a first-hand analysis of crucial developments in post-war European history and US-European relations. The essays featured here offer a nuanced and sophisticated analysis of major post-war problems such as the global "dollar shortage." Hirschman's skill and style are brought to the uncertainties of economic policymaking in the post-war years in a compelling manner, highlighting the often counterintuitive and paradoxical sequences of specific economic and political processes. Further, Hirschman's writings provide an advanced view of what would become signature concepts in his later work, including "inverted sequences," inducement mechanisms," and "staged sequences of policymaking." Europe, the Marshall Plan, and the Post-War International Order is a valuable addition to our understanding of the post-war international economic order and to Hirschman's critical thinking on processes of economic development, policymaking, and reform."

Within a conflictual international milieu, Amnesty International (AI) works to enforce international human rights norms when the organization would seem to have little or no legal, economic, or physical force to wield against sovereign states. Three aspects of AI's activity that have contributed to its effectiveness are delineated: (1) by incorporating an international, "public" audience into ostensibly "private" conflicts between individuals & their governments, AI makes it more likely that international norms governing fair treatment of prisoners will be invoked. (2) AI uses particularly powerful symbols to moblize individuals, & (3) AI has focused on pragmatic demands for action by target countries. Adapted from the source document.
