National audience ; The virtue of national entrance examinations : the case of university professor recruitment examinations within the field of management science -- This paper questions the virtues and limitations of national entrance examinations for the senior civil service, valued as guaranteeing both the public interest, by selecting the best qualified individuals and the interests of the specific individuals concerned, by guaranteeing that they will be judged on merit. It studies the process for recruiting university professors in more specific detail. Economics, political science and management science ‑ historically derived from law ‑ are disciplines for which university professors are recruited through national agregation examinations. The research focuses on the entrance examinations organised for management science since their creation in 1976 until the 2007 competition. It identifies the factors which determine success in these examinations. By conductingeconometric analyses, which provide results with all things being equal, the paper highlights the significant impact of scientific output, as well as a network effect, which is quantitatively more important than that of publications. These results thus question the more or less fair character of these entrance examinations. ; Ce texte interroge les vertus et les limites des concours nationaux de recrutement dans la haute fonction publique, valorisés comme garantissant à la fois l'intérêt général, en sélectionnant les plus qualifiés, et l'intérêt particulier, en assurant un jugement sur le mérite.

Tanzania has been a relative success story in Africa in terms of political reform. While foreign aid has helped strengthen institutions that advance accountability, it simultaneously supports a status quo that undermines accountability and democratization. This study first explores the ways in which foreign donors directly strengthen civil society, parties, the media, as well as legislatures and the judiciary. It then looks at the ways in which donor support has unintended consequences in undermining accountability through the provision of general budget support and through support of policies that undercut vertical accountability in decentralization and in public goods provision.

The previous excerpt is taken from a column by Syrian journalist Hakam al-Baba, published in the London-based Pan-Arab newspaper al-Quds al-ʿArabi. Al-Baba, a middle-aged Syrian journalist known for his biting sarcasm, has written some of the most perceptive critiques of Syrian and Arab media, including a famous 2005 article in the Syrian daily Tishreen, in which he relates his experience of harassment by the mukhābarāt. In the excerpted column, al-Baba uses the raging Pan-Arab controversies over reality TV for a critique of Arab political dependence on the United States.

Amílcar Cabral, a little-known revolutionary intellectual and head of the major nationalist movement fighting the Portuguese in their territories of Portuguese Guiné and the Cape Verde Islands, has experienced considerable success as leader of an African independence struggle. His political thought has guided the African response to Portuguese rule for more than a decade. It has developed through the successive phases of his career, as a student in Lisbon (1946–1950), as an agronomist who surveyed agricultural resources for the Portuguese Government (1950–1956), and as a nationalist leader and a revolutionary (1956 to the present).

Whileder Altein Peking still appears reasonably durable, he has nevertheless reached the stage in his career where the succession problem may soon pass from the sphere of speculation to that of political reality. Well aware of the intra-party struggle in Moscow following Stalin's death, Mao Tse-tung has already taken steps to avoid internecine strife in China. Practically speaking, he has made his selection.
