This book was released on 2007 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre collectif s'appuie sur l'atelier pluridisciplinaire de jeunes chercheurs qui s'est tenu à Louvain-la-Neuve les 11-13 juin 2003. Il se penche sur des cas concrets dans les secteurs du transport routier, de l'informatique et des télécommunications des années 1950 aux années 1980. Il étudie la naissance difficile et conflictuelle d'une « expertise » des acteurs sur le terrain nouveau de l'Europe intégrée. Tandis que les entreprises découvrent l'importance d'agir sur le processus de décision en marche, elles se voient attribuer une place dans cette concertation participative. Ce nouveau rôle nécessite l'accumulation de compétences techniques élargies et la multiplication de contacts avec les autres acteurs. Ensemble, ils participent à la délimitation du cadre communautaire (à travers l'élaboration des normes techniques, l'harmonisation de la fiscalité, la régulation des aides d'État, etc.) et entendent y défendre au mieux leurs intérêts. Cela peut être l'occasion d'oppositions frontales, souvent difficiles à contourner. De nouveaux apprentissages sont alors nécessaires pour tâcher d'avancer dans l'harmonisation communautaire. This collection of papers derives from the multidisciplinary workshop of young researchers which took place in Louvain-la-Neuve on 11-13 June 2003. It is based on actual case studies in the sectors of transport, data-processing and telecommunications between the 1950s and the 1980s. It analyses the long and difficult process for those involved in building «expertise» in the new field of an integrated Europe. At the same time as firms discovered the importance of influencing the decision-making process at work, they were given a place in this participative process. This new role implies the accumulation of enlarged technical competencies and the multiplication of contacts with other economic actors. Together, they have taken part in the demarcation of the Community framework, through the elaboration of technical standards, tax harmonisation, state aids regulation, and so on, and have defended their interests in this framework as best they could. This could provoke strong opposition, which was difficult to overcome. In this case, a process of learning and understanding was necessary on both sides in order to advance Community harmonisation.

This book was released on 2008-02-27 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investment in secondary schooling in Sub-Saharan Africa has been neglected since the World Conference on Education for All at Jomtien. The World Education Forum at Dakar began to recognize the growing importance of post-primary schooling for development. Only 25 percent of school-age children attend secondary school in the region--and fewer complete successfully, having consequences for gender equity, poverty reduction, and economic growth. As universal primary schooling becomes a reality, demand for secondary schools is increasing rapidly. Gaps between the educational levels of the labor force in Sub-Saharan Africa and other regions remain large. Girls are more often excluded from secondary schools than boys. Secondary schooling costs are high to both governments and households. This study explores how access to secondary education can be increased. Radical reforms are needed in low-enrollment countries to make secondary schooling more affordable and to provide more access to the majority currently excluded. The report identifies the rationale for increasing access, reviews the status of secondary education in Sub-Saharan Africa, charts the growth needed in different countries to reach different levels of participation, identifies the financial constraints on growth, and discusses the reforms needed to make access affordable. It concludes with a road map of ways to increase the probability that more of Africa's children will experience secondary schooling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built on 'the bend in the Red River', Hà Nội is among Southeast Asia's most ancient capitals. Over the centuries, it took shape in part from a dense substratum of villages. With the economic liberalisation of the 1980s, it encountered several obstacles to its expansion: absence of a real land market, high population densities, the government's food self-suffciency policy that limits expropriations of land and the water management constraints of this very vulnerable delta. Since the beginning of the new millennium, the change in speed brought about by the state and by property developers in the construction and urban planning of the province-capital poses the problem of integration of in situ urbanised villages, the importance of preserving a green belt around Hà Nội and the necessity of protection from flooding. The harmonious fusion of city and countryside, which has always constituted the Red River Delta's defining feature, appears to be in jeopardy. Working from a rich body of maps and field studies, this collective work reveals how this grass-roots urbanisation encounters 'top-down' urbanisation, or metropolisation. By combining a variety of disciplinary approaches on several different scales, through a study of spatial issues and social dynamics, this atlas not only enables the reader to gauge the impact of major projects on the lives of villages integrated into the city's fabric but also to re-establish the peri-urban village stratum as a fully-fledged actor in the diversity of this emerging metropolis.
