Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La thèse s'organise autour du système commercial multilatéral, facteur de croissance économique et les incidences de cette croissance sur l'environnement et analyse les dispositions environnementales contenues dans les accords de l'OMC ainsi que leur degré d'efficacité environnementale au travers les pays Membres de l'Organisation mondiale du commerce. La situation des pays en développement est examinée de façon approfondie tout comme les différents mécanismes environnementaux à l'échelle régionale et mondiale tels que les accords commerciaux régionaux : La Communauté européenne, l'ALENA et l'APEC, ainsi que les accords environnementaux multilatéraux : CITES, Le Protocole de Montréal et la Convention de Bâle. Compte tenu de l'interdépendance entre le commerce et l'environnement clairement démontrée au cours des plus grandes conférences internationales sur l'environnement et le développement à savoir: Rio, Johannesburg... nous plaidons en faveur de l'adoption des principes des principes clé du développement durable : équité intergénérationnelle, responsabilité commune et différenciée. Ce qui va dans le sens d'un soutien à apporter aux pays en développement afin de leur permettre de faire face à l'interface commerce-environnement. Ainsi nous abordons la question du transfert de technologie et de l'aide financière du Sud vers le Nord. Nous soutenons également qu'il faut une plus grande cohérence entre le système commercial multilatéral et les instruments juridiques internationaux d'environnement afin d'aller efficacement vers un développement durable à l'échelle mondiale. En somme, dans un premier temps, ce travail consiste à revenir sur les rapports des sommets mondiaux en relation avec les concepts qui sous tendent la notion de « développement durable », puis il met en évidence le bien-fondé de certains principes commerciaux pertinents au regard de cet objectif, tout en présentant différents accords multilatéraux d'environnement à titre de confrontation avec les accords commerciaux de l'OMC contenant des dispositions environnementales ainsi que les principes clé du droit de l'OMC. Les concepts et principes pris en compte sont considérés tant du point de vue des propriétés économiques générales que du point de vue écologique ainsi que des difficultés associées à leurs propriétés, étant donné qu'ils souffrent d'un défaut de mise en œuvre. Compte tenu du fait que les études des cas considérés se sont présentés dans une période qui couvrent pour la plupart, plus d'une dizaine d'années, et que les mécanismes divers et variés semblent privilégiés la création de zones d'influence plutôt que le « développement durable » au sens large, ce qui est dû entre autres choses à un manque de cohérence entre les divers instruments, nous faisons quelque propositions en vue de remédier à ce problème. La démarche adoptée ici peut être vue comme le bilan d'un programme de recherche sur l'articulation entre les principes fondamentaux du commerce et ceux du développement durable dans le contexte de l'OMC. Les méthodes utilisées pour rendre compte des phénomènes observés possèdent une double analyse : celle de l'application du droit de l'OMC et celle de la cohérence de celui-ci avec les accords environnementaux multilatéraux et les mécanismes régionaux. Nous faisons également l'analyse de leur mise en œuvre au sein des pays qui en sont parties, tout comme leurs implications pour les PED qui en sont signataires. Cette recherche compte, au moyen d'une analyse critique du droit de l'OMC contribuer au débat en cours dans le communauté internationale sur le rôle que peut jouer le commerce international dans poursuite du développement durable.

This book was released on 2008-07-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'idée que le commerce était facteur de développement a longtemps prédominé dans le discours économique. Le commerce, et donc le libre-échange, permettaient d'atteindre les objectifs nécessaires à la croissance. Mais il est apparu que le libre-échange n'était pas toujours un facteur de développement et qu'il pouvait conduire à la détérioration de l'environnement global. L'apparition du concept de développement durable est une réponse à cette remise en cause du modèle économique et implique la réalisation d'objectifs sociaux et environnementaux... Comment concilier ces deux notions a priori incompatibles ?

Download or read book Handbook for Evaluating Infrastructure Regulatory Systems written by Ashley C. Brown and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 200 new infrastructure regulators have been created around the world in the last 15 years. They were established to encourage clear and sustainable long-term economic and legal commitments by governments and investors to encourage new investment to benefit existing and new customers. There is now considerable evidence that both investors and consumers-the two groups that were supposed to have benefited from these new regulatory systems-have often been disappointed with their performance. The fundamental premise of this book is that regulatory systems can be successfully reformed only if there are independent, objective and public evaluations of their performance. Just as one goes to a medical doctor for a regular health checkup, it is clear that infrastructure regulation would also benefit from periodic checkups. This book provides a general framework as well as detailed practical guidance on how to perform such "regulatory checkups."

Download or read book An Introduction to the African Convention on the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources written by World Conservation Union and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2009 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The African Convention on the conservation of nature and natural resources was adopted in 1968 in Algiers. Considered the most forward looking regional agreement of the time, it influenced significantly the development of environmental law in Africa. Two and a half decades of intense developments in international environmental law made it necessary to revise this treaty, update its provisions and enlarge its scope. This was undertaken under the auspices of the African Union (previously OAU), and the revision was adopted by its Heads of State and Government in July 2003 in Maputo. The introduction provides an overview of this new international treaty, as well as a commentary to each of its provisions.

Download or read book Reducing Inequalities written by Rémi Genevey and published by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reduction of inequalities within and between countries stands as a policy goal, and deserves to take centre stage in the design of the Sustainable Development Goals agreed during the Rio+20 Summit in 2012.The 2013 edition of A Planet for Life represents a unique international initiative grounded on conceptual and strategic thinking, and – most importantly – empirical experiments, conducted on five continents and touching on multiple realities. This unprecedented collection of works proposes a solid empirical approach, rather than an ideological one, to inform future debate.The case studies collected in this volume demonstrate the complexity of the new systems required to accommodate each country's specific economic, political and cultural realities. These systems combine technical, financial, legal, fiscal and organizational elements with a great deal of applied expertise, and are articulated within a clear, well-understood, growth- and job-generating development strategy.Inequality reduction does not occur by decree; neither does it automatically arise through economic growth, nor through policies that equalize incomes downward via ill conceived fiscal policies. Inequality reduction involves a collaborative effort that must motivate all concerned parties, one that constitutes a genuine political and social innovation, and one that often runs counter to prevailing political and economic forces.

Download or read book World Development Report 2017 written by World Bank Group and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are carefully designed, sensible policies too often not adopted or implemented? When they are, why do they often fail to generate development outcomes such as security, growth, and equity? And why do some bad policies endure? World Development Report 2017: Governance and the Law addresses these fundamental questions, which are at the heart of development. Policy making and policy implementation do not occur in a vacuum. Rather, they take place in complex political and social settings, in which individuals and groups with unequal power interact within changing rules as they pursue conflicting interests. The process of these interactions is what this Report calls governance, and the space in which these interactions take place, the policy arena. The capacity of actors to commit and their willingness to cooperate and coordinate to achieve socially desirable goals are what matter for effectiveness. However, who bargains, who is excluded, and what barriers block entry to the policy arena determine the selection and implementation of policies and, consequently, their impact on development outcomes. Exclusion, capture, and clientelism are manifestations of power asymmetries that lead to failures to achieve security, growth, and equity. The distribution of power in society is partly determined by history. Yet, there is room for positive change. This Report reveals that governance can mitigate, even overcome, power asymmetries to bring about more effective policy interventions that achieve sustainable improvements in security, growth, and equity. This happens by shifting the incentives of those with power, reshaping their preferences in favor of good outcomes, and taking into account the interests of previously excluded participants. These changes can come about through bargains among elites and greater citizen engagement, as well as by international actors supporting rules that strengthen coalitions for reform.
