This thesis has investigated the role of the British decolonization policy in Somaliland. The major aim was to identify the process and analyse the formation of the Somali political institutions from 1950 to 1960. The research was carried on a twofold perspective: on the one side, a microscopic-local level explored the relations between the British Administration in Somaliland, its clerks and officials, the Somali people and its representatives, mainly traditional/religious authorities and political leaders. On the other side, a macroscopic perspective was detect while considering the external forces which have influenced this process. The dissertation examined also the British attitude towards the Italian administration of Somalia, the awkward Ethiopian neighborhood, as well as the diplomatic and international interests of geopolitics in the Horn of Africa.

Media training since the early 1990s, the housing crisis faced by New Labour when it took power in 1997 once again pushed the urban agenda at the centre of the British political arena. The construction of more than 4 million dwellings is then deemed necessary to meet latent demand, and large cities continue to turn to suburbs. It is in this climate that Tony Blair appoints architect Richard Rogers as head of the Urban Task Force, who is responsible for sketching the country's future urban policies. Published in 1999, its rapport/1 is explicit: it is thanks to urban design that the country will make its cities attractive. If the government attaches so much importance to this criterion, it is that the projects of the last 30 years reflect more a cloning trend than a desire to encourage the emergence of new practices that would enable the "tensions between singularity and uniformity", between "originality and order", to be managed. ; Fortement médiatisée dès le début des années 1990, la crise du logement à laquelle est confronté le New Labour lorsqu'il accède au pouvoir en 1997 propulse une nouvelle fois l'agenda urbain sur le devant de la scène politique britannique. La construction de plus de 4 millions de logements est alors jugée nécessaire pour répondre à la demande latente, et les grandes villes continuent de se vider au profit des suburbs. C'est dans ce climat que Tony Blair nomme l'architecte Richard Rogers à la tête de l'Urban Task Force, chargée d'esquisser les futures politiques urbaines du pays. Publié en 1999, son rapport /1 est explicite : c'est grâce à l'urban design que le pays rendra à ses villes leur attractivité. Si le gouvernement accorde tant d'importance à ce critère, c'est que les projets des trente dernières années reflètent davantage une tendance au clonage qu'un souci de favoriser l'émergence de nouvelles pratiques qui permettraient de gérer les "tensions entre singularité et uniformité", entre "originalité et ordre".

Les conditions économiques et politiques de la Grande-Bretagne, l'histoire, l'organisation administrative donnent à la foresterie britannique certains des traits tout à fait particuliers et donc intéressants à connaître pour ses voisins. L'approche pragmatique des problèmes, les objectifs mêmes de la politique forestière avec la récente position prise quant à l'aliénation d'une surface restreinte de forêt et ses conséquences dans l'opinion, la formule de la Forestry Commission avec une seule administration sur le terrain, son statut particulier et l'intégration de la Recherche forestière sont des grandes caractéristiques assez différentes de la France. La promotion du reboisement et l'intervention de groupes financiers et de sociétés d'investissement, la sylviculture dynamique des futaies résineuses avec la controverse sur la mise précoce à distance des plantations, constituent des aspects techniques et économiques fort intéressants. Les modes d'aménagement et de planification, les contrats de vente, l'importance encore attachée à la rentabilité du capital, méritent réflexions de notre part. ; In Great Britain the economic and political background, as well as history and the administrative organization, have given forestry some characteristics which are quite unusual, and therefore of interest to neighbouring countries. Some of the ways in which it differs quite widely from France are in the pragmatic approach to problems, in the very objectives of forest policy — with the position recently adopted as regards the alienation of limited areas of forest and its effects on public opinion, and the Forestry Commission formula, with one single administration in the field, its own legal constitution, and the integration of forest research. Technical and economic aspects that are of great interest include the way in which reforestation is promoted and the part played by financial groups and investment companies, and the dynamic silviculture of the conifer stands, with the controversial early spacing of the plantations. Management and planning methods, sales contracts, and the importance still attached to getting a return on capital all give us something to think about.

two decades after decollectivisation, land hyperconcentration remains a structural singularity of Central European agriculture. The article seeks to grasp the role of the institutions which have been able to encourage the conversion of large-scale exploitation, whether collective or state, into social forms of production preserving comparable dimensional characteristics. The extent to which the land is owned by many owners and its development is separated without hindering its exploitation in very large production units. Previously integrated into the collectivist organisation, land, labour and capital remained involved, at the initiative of the managers of macro-structures who managed to take control of ownership rights over the operating capital. Through the process of reconstructing social forms of production, the great agrarian mesh has ensured the transmission of structural heritage. ; http://www.cairn-int.info/abstract-E_ETRU_190_0025--large-farms-in-central-europe-an.htm International audience AbstractTwo decades after de-collectivization, the hyper-concentration of land remains a structural characteristic of Central European agriculture. This paper attempts to explain the role of institutions that have favored the conversion of large farms, whether collective or State-owned, into social forms of production of comparable size. Land ownership, which is dispersed among numerous holders, and the farming of that land are separate systems. Yet this does not hinder the development of very large agricultural production units. Although land, labor, and capital, which were previously integrated in a collectivist structure, remain connected, they are now under the control of the managers of the large organizations that have succeeded in taking control of property rights over the business capital. Throughout the process of reconstructing the social forms of production, large farms have ensured that their structural heritage will be passed on. ; two decades after decollectivisation, land hyperconcentration remains a ...
