Tout devait changer : allègement des normes, baisse des dépenses et des impôts... Mais 18 mois plus tard, la réalité est bien différente. Le décalage, pour ne pas dire le fossé, se creuse tous les jours. Certaines grandes réformes (prélèvement à la source, taxe d'habitation...) paraissent d'ores et déjà aussi ambitieuses qu'inutiles.D'autres réformes nécessaires (baisse des effectifs publics, réforme des retraites, réduction de la dépense sociale...) patinent dangereusement. Au-delà des mots rassurants, c'est bien un choc de complexité auquel sont confrontés les Français : multiplication des contraintes administratives et fiscales, organisation kafkaïenne des territoires... Où est la simplification sans cesse annoncée ? Cet ouvrage dresse, à travers de nombreux exemples souvent ubuesques, le tableau de l'ancien monde qui refuse de disparaître.L'heure tourne et malgré quelques mesures ponctuelles pertinentes, la grande transformation annoncée se fait attendre.La France va-t-elle encore rester immobile ou est-elle en marche ?

The increased focus on counterinsurgency warfare and US nation building efforts after the attacks of 11 September 2001 reignited interest in military advising within military and other government organizations, private think tanks, and defense related contractors. Most studies on the subject, based on the chronological scope and numerical preponderance of ground advising missions, has quite naturally focused on these past efforts. Less attention has been given to air or naval advisory missions. This work seeks in part to help redress this current imbalance by examining a number of historical case studies dealing with air advisory efforts. By examining a number of historical case studies, this volume analyzes the challenges and opportunities inherent in aerial advisory efforts and offers insights into the methods by which such missions succeed or fail. Air advisory missions date almost to the first days of powered flight. Air advisory efforts have a number of unique elements based on the fundamental role of advanced technology and the extensive resource requirements associated with aviation operations. For example, air advisory efforts are profoundly influenced by the types of aircraft involved and the types of mission flown. Likewise, the issues of maintenance support and the infrastructure needed for these missions plays a key role in determining capabilities available to the host nation. In the case of infrastructure, airfields, fuelling depots, maintenance and repair facilities, and radar and communications equipment offer a few of the most obvious requirements to support flight operations. The early history of advisory efforts reveal issues that remain relevant today, including questions related to the nature of aerial technology to be shared, the type of training to be provided, and the potential economic benefits that might accrue to the donor nation as a result of the sale of aviation technology to the host country. In many respects, air advisory efforts raise a number of profound strategic questions for the donor nation. Among others, these questions relate to the type of technology to be shared, the nature of training to be given, the role of foreign advisors in operations, the issue of infrastructure development and auxiliary training programs, the preparation of foreign advisors for their duties, and perhaps most significantly the development of the type of capabilities required to address the host nation's security environment. Via a series of ...

L'Arxiu Fotogràfic de Barcelona presenta des del 29 de novembre de 2018 fins al 18 de maig de 2019 l'exposició "Eduard Olivella. Documentant cultura". La selecció, integrada per més de cent fotografies i documents, fa un repàs de la trajectòria professional d'Eduard Olivella, vinculada a la vida cultural barcelonina. Així mateix, documenta alguns aspectes dels processos socioculturals que van experimentar les classes mitjanes barcelonines des de principis dels anys setanta fins després dels Jocs Olímpics, un període que es va caracteritzar per un gran dinamisme i una expansió del consum cultural. L'any 2015 va ingressar a l'Arxiu Fotogràfic de Barcelona (AFB) el fons d'Eduard Olivella i Falp (Barcelona, 1948), que consta d'unes 50.000 fotografies, fruit de la seva activitat professional.
