La politique du climat de la France: entre intérêt national et solidarité mondiale? Par rapport à la politique du climat de la France, cet article analyse l'évolution des rapports entre la construction de l'intérêt national et les principes de solidarité mondiale exprimés dans la Convention cadre sur le changement climatique de l'ONU de 1992. L'article argumente que la France a développé un modèle spécifique de politique du climat qui a démontré son efficacité par une réduction modeste mais réelle des émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Mais face aux défis renouvelés du climat, vers la fin des années 2000 les décideurs français vacillaient entre deux options, à savoir (a) une révision peu ambitieuse du modèle national sous l'empreinte d'une construction séculaire de l'intérêt national (conçu en termes de compétitivité économique à court terme), ou (b) un remaniement profond du modèle sous l'impulsion des principes de solidarité mondiale. En guise de conclusion, l'article fait valoir que les pouvoirs publics ont effectivement proposé des mesures ambitieuses mais se sont abstenus de leur mise en œuvre, en conséquence de la persistance de cette construction séculaire de l'intérêt national mais aussi à cause des balbutiements du régime international du climat entre le protocole de Kyoto de 1997 et l'accord de Copenhague de 2009.
International audience ; The paper aims at contributing to the understanding of global policies. To do so, we study development assistance and describe how it became a global policy, based on both bottom-up and top-down process. Bottom-up policy building stands on a complex political economy, uses traditional instruments, and relies on strategic documents ; top-down policy building implies global institutions, a measurement tool, good practises and common objectives. ; Cet article souhaite contribuer à la compréhension des politiques globales. A cette fin, j'étudie l'aide au développement pour décrire comment elle s'est constituée comme politique globale, selon deux processus, par le bas et par le haut. La construction de politique par le bas s'appuie sur une économie politique complexe, mobilise des instruments traditionnels, et repose sur des documents stratégiques ; par le haut, elle implique des institutions mondiales, un outil de mesure, des bonnes pratiques et des objectifs communs.

"Global Trends: Law, Policy & Justice is a Festschrift for Professor Giuliana Ziccardi Capaldo which offers a broad and challenging view of the changing world society and the implications of globalization for the content and structure of the law, the development of judicial institutions and the shaping of world policies. Contributions made by judges of international tribunals, scholars, and practitioners offers insights into different aspects of globalization and its implications on changes in the world system. It examines a variety of current issues relating to international law, judicial institutions and global policies, focusing on different aspects of globalization and its implications on key areas of the world system, with a particular focus on issues such as, human rights, global justice, global politics global environment and public goods. This special edition of The Global Community Yearbook of International Law and Jurisprudence presents not only a systemic approach to changes in the world system but gives us the outline of the future evolution of the role of law, justice and policy in tomorrow's increasingly globalized society. Global Trends: Law, Policy & Justice offers the advantage of simultaneously covering new insights into the meaning and function of the concept of globalization, combined with a thorough analysis of the evolutionary trends in key areas of the world system to provide a unified vision. Global Trends: Law, Policy & Justice is a special edition of The Global Community Yearbook of International Law and Jurisprudence, written in honor of Professor Giuliana Ziccardi Capaldo."--Publisher's website

Cet article évalue les effets non-linéaires de la politique monétaire sur les prix d'actifs et leurs déséquilibres dans la zone euro depuis la crise financière mondiale, pour les marchés boursiers et immobiliers. Les déséquilibres de prix d'actifs sont mesurés comme la différence entre les prix des actifs et une valeur de référence que nous approximons par les fondamentaux dans un modèle de flux de revenu actualisés, la valeur prédite des prix des actifs dans un modèle économétrique et par la tendance issue d'une décomposition tendance/cycle. Nous trouvons que la politique monétaire de la BCE affecte le cours des actions et les prix immobiliers dans la zone euro depuis 2008. Elle influence également les déséquilibres de prix des actions mais pas ceux de prix des logements. Cette réaction des déséquilibres de prix des actions est due aux chocs d'information de la banque centrale, plutôt qu'aux chocs de politique monétaire à proprement parler.

Background: Equity seems inherent to the pursuance of universal health coverage (UHC), but it is not a natural consequence of it. We explore how the multidimensional concept of equity has been approached in key global UHC policy documents, as well as in country-level UHC policies. Methods: We analysed a purposeful sample of UHC reports and policy documents both at global level and in two Western African countries (Benin and Senegal). We manually searched each document for its use and discussion of equity and related terms. The content was summarised and thematically analysed, in order to comprehend how these concepts were understood in the documents. We distinguished between the level at which inequity takes place and the origin or types of inequities.Results: Most of the documents analysed do not define equity in the first place, and speak about "health inequities" in the broad sense, without mentioning the dimension or type of inequity considered. Some dimensions of equity are ambiguous – especially coverage and financing. Many documents assimilate equity to an overall objective or guiding principle closely associated to UHC. The concept of equity is also often linked to other concepts and values (social justice, inclusion, solidarity, human rights – but also to efficiency and sustainability). Regarding the levels of equity most often considered, access (availability, coverage, provision) is the most often quoted dimension, followed by financial protection. Regarding the types of equity considered, those most referred to are socio-economic, geographic, and gender-based disparities. In Benin and Senegal, geographic inequities are mostly pinpointed by UHC policy documents, but concrete interventions mostly target the poor. Overall, the UHC policy of both countries are quite similar in terms of their approach to equity.Conclusions: While equity is widely referred to in global and country-specific UHC policy documents, its multiple dimensions results in a rather rhetorical utilisation of the concept.

The Bush Administration launched in 2004 the "Global Posture Review." This plan will, over several years, reorganize the ways US forces are stationed or deployed overseas, therefore amounting to the biggest change in the US military's overseas posture since the end of the Cold War. The major objectives of the realignment are to alleviate political constraints stemming from foreign governments, increase US freedom of action, reposition US forces closer to the "arc of instability," & experiment with stationing US troops in & around Africa or Central Asia. Such an ambitious plan is fraught with risks, notably whether this extension of the US global security perimeter will be supported domestically & whether it will overextend the US armed forces internationally.

We introduce the concept of carbon footprint into an aggregate demand and supply model with imperfectly competitive price and wage formation. We analyse the properties of the short-term macroeconomic equilibrium in the presence of a climate policy, which may take the form either of a carbon tax or of quotas of pollution permits. We show that in the short run climate policy (or its strengthening) is simultaneously a negative aggregate supply shock and a positive aggregate demand shock. It is thus inflationary but it has an ambiguous impact on aggregate economic activity and employment: it will only stimulate output in an economy where nominal wages are rigid enough. In all cases, climate policy will depress real wages. We also analyse the interactions between climate policy and the usual macroeconomic policies of demand (fiscal and monetary stimuli) and supply (labour tax cut). The multiplier effects of these demand and supply policies depend on the instrument chosen for implementing the climate policy (carbon tax or pollution permits). We finally establish the conditions under which a reform combining a climate policy strengthening and a labour tax cut can reach the double objective of a lower carbon footprint and a lower unemployment rate, without reducing workers' real wages. Such a policy reform has however an ambiguous impact on the government surplus (or deficit).
