This chapter reviews empirical literature on foreign aid and QoG. The chapter begins with a description of how scholarship on foreign aid and QoG developed in conjunction with prominent debates in the development community. The chapter discusses three major debates: whether or not QoG moderates foreign aid effectiveness, whether or not donors give aid selectively based on QoG, and whether or not foreign aid undermines or can help build QoG. With regard to aid effectiveness, the most recent literature suggests that aid can be effective even under conditions of poor QoG. With regard to selectivity, the existing literature shows an increasing selectivity for overall aid flows since the end of the Cold War and provides evidence of selectivity in terms of type of aid. The evidence that aid undermines QoG is not as strong as has been claimed by some of the initial studies in this literature. The chapter concludes by suggesting ways forward for all three literatures.
Challenges in Public Health Governance: The Canadian Experience is an examination of public health from a governance perspective. Part 1 begins with an examination of the fragmented nature of public health in Canada, identifies some major fault lines that characterize the public health realm, and reviews briefly the notion of network governance. Part 2 looks at specific public health theatres: crisis issues such as SARS and the HlNl pandemic, and the ongoing work of the Canadian Heart Health Initiative. It also examines the Pan-Canadian Public Health Network as the key piece of network infrastructure at the national level.

The "loi pour une république numérique" act and the Open Science Plan support the opening of public data to citizens, who finance their production, and the sharing of scientific data to encourage innovation from their reuse. While these measures are legitimate, they require significant changes in practice or even real paradigm shifts, which raise questions, despite the avenues launched by the open science plan.The objective of our group is to identify these necessary changes, from the point of view of daily scientific practices, in order to anticipate possible blockages and make recommendations to prevent them. In order to that aim, we have mobilised our knowledge of practices in the laboratories of several disciplines (disciplines represented: biology, physics, history and art history), from the point of view of several professions (researchers, professors, librairian, archivist). ; L'ouverture des données de la recherche demande des changements dans les pratiques scientifiques quotidiennes.

This article studies the idea of "World Government" as envisioned in aseries of essays published by Bertrand Russell in the period of the Cold War. It drawsupon the theoretical categories introduced by Karl Mannheim in Ideology and Utopia(1936) to account for the nature of the reconstruction schemes the author advances tospare human society a possible apocalyptic nuclear confrontation. The study hasshown that Russell's liberal outlook is utopian insofar as it has shown advancedpositions regarding self-determination, the dissemination of progress and cooperationtoward the reconstruction of a peaceful and prosperous world. However, given thetechnological abyss separating the industrial West in the 1950s from the rest, an open"World State" would be another form of imperialism in disguise. The risk involved isthat this "global utopia" whose rulers monopolize military, legislative as well aseconomic power, would turn into an institutional and ideological instrument ofcontrol in the hands of the technologically powerful few.

The standard governance theories predict the failure of cooperatives. User-owned, user-controlled and user-benefited organizations, cooperatives possess a unique ownership structure which makes them susceptible to face various governance problems according to the property-rights and agency theories. Paradoxically, cooperatives are not a marginal phenomenon worldwide. They are long-lasting, resilient to crises organizations, in particular in the agricultural sector. This observation suggests some weaknesses in the classical conceptualization of cooperatives' governance and performance. Based on a meta-analysis, a systematic literature review and a stochastic production frontier approaches, our results show that several dimensions of this organizational form deserve more academic attention. The understudied macro-institutional environment, including the existence of a federative network, shapes the effects of cooperatives on their members. Understanding how members collectively build sustainable institutional arrangements calls for an equal consideration of the economic and democratic dimensions of the cooperative through alternative theoretical frameworks. Theses approaches allow for better understanding of the members' ability to overcome and take advantage of institutional and group constrains such as member heterogeneity. ; Les théories classiques de la gouvernance prédisent l'échec des coopératives. Singulières par leur structure de propriété qui repose sur l'exercice collectif et démocratique des droits de propriété et de contrôle, les coopératives sont susceptibles de faire face à de multiples problèmes de gouvernance conduisant à un désavantage institutionnel. Paradoxalement, elles constituent une réalité statistique majeure dans le monde, dont la longévité et la résilience aux crises sont remarquables, en particulier dans le secteur agricole. Ce constat conduit à s'interroger sur l'existence de faiblesses dans la conceptualisation de la gouvernance et de la performance de la coopérative. A travers une méta-analyse, une revue de littérature systématique et une analyse de frontière de production, nos résultats suggèrent que certaines dimensions de la coopérative méritent d'être explorées plus profondément. L'articulation de la coopérative avec son environnement macro-institutionnel, y compris fédératif, façonne ses impacts sur ses membres. Appréhender l'équilibre délicat conduisant à des arrangements institutionnels durables dans l'organisation demande de reconsidérer la dimension démocratique de la coopérative en mobilisant des cadres théoriques alternatifs comme la gestion des Communs. Cet effort est nécessaire pour mieux comprendre la capacité des membres à s'organiser collectivement pour tirer parti de certaines contraintes institutionnelles et de groupe comme l'hétérogénéité du sociétariat.

Lebanon's history along with its pluri-confessional nature explain the difficulties in carrying out reforms in the country. A culture of secrecy and a lack of political will have created a breeding ground for corruption in the Land of the Cedars. Long disillusioned and disinterested in the country's politics, Lebanese citizens have contributed themselves by their passivity to the worsening of the country's economic, political and social situation.Exacerbated today by the accumulation of scandals and supported by a new generation, Lebanese citizens took to the streets for the first time in more than 15 years and demanded accountability for political and economic management. In solidarity, the Lebanese people demanded the right to a sincere, transparent, non-corrupt, accountable and responsive government.The current situation – a mixture of political, economic and health crises – has created or reinforced the "need for statehood" among Lebanese citizens. This need concentrates the expectations of a new form of government, a moral government capable of truly protecting citizens and guaranteeing their welfare. The Lebanese demand a responsible state capable of assuming and fully performing its functions. The establishment of a new governance; one that is more transparent, participatory and collaborative, is more than needed today.The Open Government Partnership (OGP) is one of the means to re-establish relations, facilitate the modernization of the state and enable Lebanon to benefit from greater openness. Joining the OGP will promote transparency and collaboration within Lebanese public administrations and will lead to a deepening of democratic life.To better understand Lebanon's interest in joining the OGP, it is necessary to review the main requirements of the OGP, starting with transparency. We will first examine the level of transparency existing in Lebanon (§ 1) and then move on to the importance of developing a policy of openness (§ 2).
