Book excerpt: Face aux inégalités socio-spatiales françaises, l'organisation des territoires incarne l'occasion de donner d'autres chances de développement aux espaces en difficultés et, plus généralement, aux espaces non métropolitains, qui ne concentrent pas la croissance économique. De multiples acteurs, associations d'insertion, d'animation, de développement, comités de bassin d'emplois, etc. contribuent par leurs initiatives à valoriser le milieu local. Le système institutionnel, à travers la décentralisation, et le développement intercommunal, entend "rapprocher le pouvoir du citoyen" et favoriser la gestion concertée de l'espace et des ressources locales dans le cadre de projets de territoire. Pourtant, le lancement des pays naît précisément des défaillances liées au développement intercommunal. La construction de la "gouvernance territoriale" procède d'une mise en cohérence de forces d'actions diverses, notamment politiques et sociales...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Résumé en français]Les objectifs de cette recherche de management public sont, d'une part, d'élaborer un cadre d'analyse qui permette d'expliquer le développement récent de l'intercommunalité, d'autre part d'étudier la structuration de la coopération intercommunale et de mettre en relief les éléments spécifiques à son management. Après une définition de la coopération intercommunale, une synthèse des différentes justifications théoriques de ce phénomène est présentée. Puis l'analyse de la structuration de la coopération intercommunale est réalisée : empiriquement, elle se traduit par une étude clinique d'un territoire dont les communes ont développé des relations coopératives depuis une vingtaine d'années. L'importance des réseaux relationnels des élus ayant été mise en relief, l'étude se focalise en particulier sur les relations existant entre les réseaux relationnels des élus et les réseaux de coopération intercommunale en utilisant les outils méthodologiques de l'analyse de réseaux.

Download or read book Cultures of Natural History written by Nicholas Jardine and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-26 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This copiously illustrated volume is the first systematic general work to do justice to the fruits of recent scholarship in the history of natural history. Public interest in this lively field has been stimulated by environmental concerns and through links with the histories of art, collecting and gardening. The centrality of the development of natural history for other branches of history - medical, colonial, gender, economic, ecological - is increasingly recognized. Twenty-four specially commissioned essays cover the period from the sixteenth century, when the first institutions of natural history were created, to its late nineteenth-century transformation by practitioners of the new biological sciences. An introduction discusses novel approaches that have made this a major focus for research in cultural history. The essays, which include suggestions for further reading, offer a coherent and accessible overview of a fascinating subject. An epilogue highlights the relevance of this wide-ranging survey for current debates on museum practice, the display of ecological diversity and concerns about the environment.
Download or read book Smart Development for Rural Areas written by André Torre and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-11 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking book questions the framework of the Horizon 2020 strategy and the policies of smart development. It aims to answer the following question: Is there any possibility for a policy of smart development and smart specialization in rural and peri-urban areas? Based on detailed analytical studies, empirical and econometric methods, as well as various European case studies, several conclusions are drawn. Smart development policies are well adapted to the developed or intermediate regions containing at the same time rural and urban areas, but do not really function for the more rural or more peripheral regions. The development policies of rural areas must be adapted to their particular characteristics, to the structure of their economies (agriculture, small firms), as well as in their diversity (distant regions, intermediate regions, rural areas near the urban areas). It appears interesting to exploit natural and cultural amenities, to develop the multifunctional character of the agriculture, to promote territorial innovation under all its forms, to favor the synergies between the various uses of land and space, and to develop the knowledge on the ecological, socioeconomic processes, as well as on the mechanisms of territorial governance. These results are very important because they question the validity of the H2020 policy and the smart development and smart specialization policies and their applicability to the whole European area, and not only for the most urban and rich areas. It will be valuable reading for students, researchers and policy-makers in regional development, rural studies, spatial planning and economic geography.

Download or read book The Vietnamese City in Transition written by Patrick Gubry and published by Institute of Southeast Asian. This book was released on 2010 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Doi Moi policy of economic renovation was introduced in 1986, Vietnam has undergone deep transformations as a result of the transition to a socialist-oriented market economy. Social and urban transition has taken place in parallel, as urban dynamics were spurred on by Vietnamese public and private stakeholders, and by external agents such as international organizations and international solidarity organizations, experts, consultants and bilateral aid organizations.Here are the results of research carried out by French, Canadian and Vietnamese teams from the north and south of the country on the overarching theme of Vietnamese cities in transition. Some of this research deals with urban dynamics, some with the issues at stake within such dynamics, or with the strategies of the most significant stakeholders in urban transition: civil society, donors within the framework of official aid for development, consultants and international consultancy firms. These projects were carried out between 2001 and 2004 as part of the Urban Research Programme for Development (PRUD), and mainly focus on Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, or both in the case of comparative studies.Is there such a thing as a Vietnamese model of an Asian city? It seems that urban transition in Vietnam is not taking place in as radical and abrupt a manner as in China. The country's capacity for absorbing external models, the quest for a third way between state intervention and economic liberalism, and the fact that the country's architectural heritage is taken into account in urban planning, are just some of the reasons for its particularity. The issues addressed in each chapter, as well as the proposals for further research suggested by the contributors, should act as a catalyst for urban research in Vietnam.

Download or read book Orchestrating Local Climate Policy in the European Union written by Lena Bendlin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-13 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can we sidestep tedious climate policy negotiations and forge a coalition of the willing instead? Many international organizations and scholars hope to spur local climate action by orchestration, indirect and voluntary governance arrangements. Lena Bendlin looks beyond the apparent success of voluntary initiatives using the example of the Covenant of Mayors, often heralded as an exemplary multi-level EU initiative. Five in-depth case studies show why, how, and with what difficulties local governments engage in this voluntary commitment scheme. The analysis identifies durability, intensity, and causality as crucial building blocks for more cautious orchestration theorizing and derives recommendations for appropriate incentives and support at the regional, national, and international level.

Download or read book Role and Impact of Tourism in Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation written by da Silva, Jorge Tavares and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-08-07 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though conflict is normal and can never fully be prevented in the international arena, such conflicts should not lead to loss of innocent life. Tourism can offer a bottom-up approach in the mediation process and contribute to the transformation of conflicts by allowing a way to contradict official barriers motivated by religious, political, or ethnic division. Tourism has both the means and the motivation to ensure the long-term success of prevention efforts. Role and Impact of Tourism in Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation is an essential reference source that provides an approach to peace through tourism by presenting a theoretical framework of tourism dynamics in international relations, as well as a set of peacebuilding case studies that illustrate the role of tourism in violent or critical scenarios of conflict. Featuring research on topics such as cultural diversity, multicultural interaction, and international relations, this book is ideally designed for policymakers, government officials, international relations experts, academicians, students, and researchers.
