[pt] O DIREITO À ESCOLARIZAÇÃO: COMO AS NAÇÕES UNIDAS ENTENDEM E PROMOVEM O CONCEITO MÓVEL DE EDUCAÇÃO / [en] THE RIGHT TO SCHOOLING: HOW THE UNITED NATIONS UNDERSTANDS AND PROMOTES THE SHIFTING CONCEPT OF EDUCATIONANNA BECKER 13 November 2023 (has links)
[pt] A educação se tornou uma área chave tanto em estados-nação e a nível
global, em particular quando se trata da escolarização de crianças. Apesar
da responsabilidade pela educação formal ser primariamente do Estado,
Organizações Internacionais (OIs) têm se tornado progressivamente mais
envolvidas neste campo. Esta dissertação discute as concepções de
educação presents nas Nações Unidas através de duas de suas principais
agências com um mandato no tema – UNICEF and UNESCO. Uma seleção
de relatórios das agências são analisados através da Análise Crítica do
Discurso (ACD) em relação com um conceito auqi chamado de
escolarização tradicional. Este conceito é baseado em autores que
discutem como uma forma de educação foi conceitualizada e
institucionalizada como parte de processos politicos, econômicos e
culturais na Europa Ocidental entre os séculos 17 e 19, servindo como
reprodutores de uma certa ordem social. A disseração conduz um
apanhado histórico da emergência e disseminação da escola formal, assim
como o papel das Nações Unidas nesse processo, e analisa documentos
do UNICEF e UNESCO que se referem à sua visão da educação, seus
objetivos, importância, atores e métodos. Conclui-se que as visões das
organizações nem sempre se alinham em relação a esses elementos, e
apesar de frequentemente servirem como promotoras e disseminadoras da
escolarização formal, há iniciativas divergentes que indicam que há espaço
para a emergência de outras visões da educação. / [en] Education has become a key policy area both in nation-states and at the
global level, particularly when it comes to the schooling of children. Although
responsibility for formal education primarily falls to the state, International
Organisations (IOs) have increasingly become involved in this field. This
dissertation discusses the conceptions of education present in the United
Nations through two of its main agencies with a mandate on the subject –
UNICEF and UNESCO. A selection of the agencies reports are analysed
through the theoretical approach of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) in
relation to a concept here called traditional schooling. This concept draws
on authors that discuss how forms of education have been conceptualised
and institutionalised as part of political, economic and cultural processes in
Western Europe in the seventeenth to twentieth centuries, serving as
reproducers of a certain social order. The dissertation conducts a historical
overview of the emergence and dissemination of formal schooling, as well
as the role of the United Nations in this process, and analyses UNICEF and
UNESCO documents that refer to their vision of education, its goals,
importance, actors and methods. It concludes that the organisations visions
do not always align education s goals, importance, subjects and methods,
and although they frequently serve as promoters and disseminators of
traditional schooling, there are dissenting initiatives that indicate there is
room for other visions of education to emerge.

Executive leadership in international organisation : a case study of WTO Directors-General (1995-2013)White, Laura Johanna January 2015 (has links)
The thesis explores the nature of executive leadership in international organisation. Executive leadership is often praised or blamed for outcomes in international agencies, and yet, the disciplinary literature fails to incorporate the executive head into institutional analyses of politics, power, and change over time. The thesis aims to address this lacuna and the role of executive leadership by analysing if and how it matters in international politics. The thesis draws on a composite literature from other areas of political research to establish what is known. A review of the literature and prevailing approaches to leadership studies reveals that an overwhelming majority of scholarship relies on exclusively structural or agential accounts of leadership. This somewhat determinist literature has distorted the limited knowledge on the nature of executive leadership in international organisation. Approaches that focus on agency-based explanations argue that executive heads matter greatly. Approaches that utilise structure to interpret executive leadership find that it matters little, if at all. Rejecting these narrow frameworks, the thesis uses a dialectical approach, supported by critical realism, to analyse four cases of executive leadership in the World Trade Organization to address the research questions and lacuna. The case studies draw on over 70 years of multilateral trade governance to reveal a set of core and subsidiary findings about politics, power, executive leadership, and change over time. The thesis argues that executive leadership matters, but that how it matters is contingent on the executive head and the circumstances of their term. By incorporating the executive head into the disciplinary literature, the thesis argues politics, power, and change over time can be more accurately understood.

Národní identita a její promítání do diskuse o vstupu Bosny a Herzegoviny do Severoatlantické alliance / Reflection of National Identities in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Discussion of NATO MembershipFajtová, Magdaléna January 2020 (has links)
Diploma thesis "Reflection of National Identities in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Discussion of NATO Membership" is a discourse analysis focusing on the socio-political environment in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the perspective of discussion over possible accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. The first part of the thesis begins by an overview of the history of NATO engagement in the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia, followed by a summary of current NATO relations with the countries of Western Balkans, specifically with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Special regard is given to national identities and their role in the conduct of the country's foreign policy. The second part of the thesis is dedicated to examining the current political debate. It seeks to understand how national identity shapes the discussion over the accession to the organisation. Specifically, through discourse analysis, it aims to identify the tools employed in the political debate and the impact it has on the overall political environment of the country.

Le sport, analyseur de la place de l'Afrique dans la coopération internationale : l'exemple de la politique sportive de la France en Afrique-Burkina faso (1960- 2010) / Sport, analyser of Africa's place in international cooperation : the example of France's sport policy in Africa - Burkina Faso (1960-2010)Compaore, Delphine 19 December 2012 (has links)
La coopération internationale est inscrite sur l’acte constitutif de l’Organisation des Nations Unies du 26 juin 1945. Moyen d’échange et de dialogue entre acteurs internationaux, son objectif a été de trouver des solutions aux difficultés économiques, sociales, culturelles et sécuritaires de l’après-guerre pour sauvegarder la paix du monde. Elle s’est considérablement développée, allant de la forme bilatérale à celle multilatérale, dans tous les domaines et sur tous les continents. Parmi ses nombreux cadres d’échanges, le dispositif français de coopération, avec son assistance technique spécialisée dans tous les domaines, demeure une référence certaine. Il s’est déployé à travers une stratégie de géopolitique internationale où domaines militaire en plus grand et sportif en plus petit en constituent un des traits caractéristiques. La coopération française et internationale ont été un accompagnement décisif pour le continent africain après les indépendances, mais aussi un important moyen stratégique d’influence pendant la Guerre Froide. Le sport et la coopération sportive y joueront leur partition. Pour les Américains, Français, Anglais, Soviétiques et leurs partenaires respectifs, la coopération a été très efficace et a permis de sauvegarder leurs intérêts sur le continent africain. Elle demeure encore aujourd’hui un important moyen de pression sur la scène africaine, influant souvent sur les résultats des échanges et l’efficacité des actions de coopération. Finalement, c’est une coopération internationale de 1960 à 2010, avec ses réussites et ses échecs, d’une taille parfois limitée mais qui reste un moyen de dialogue pour le monde et surtout pour le continent africain engagé sur le difficile chemin de la démocratie. C’est par une approche théorique libérale et une méthode qualitative que cette recherche a été réalisée, sur le principal terrain du Burkina Faso avec ses particularités sociales et son histoire, qui constituent une grille de lecture idéale. / International cooperation is listed on the Constitution of the United Nations of 26 June 1945. Itsobjective is to find solutions to difficult economic, social, cultural, security, post-war to savepeace. It has expanded from the multilateral to the bilateral form, covering all areas of activitieson all continents, including Africa in the 1960s with its plurality of actors. The Cold War, whichwill keep the world on guard until 1991, will make this cooperation an important strategy for itsactors, whom, on behalf of their interests and preferences, will use it at will by putting all theirinfluence. Thus the African scene, during the Cold War up to the present day, will be thepreferred place of influence on cooperation. French cooperation will promote its linguistic spacebefore deploying across the continent, in a geopolitical strategy with the Ministry of InternationalCooperation in 1961, and later the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as the institutional base. In thisspace of the French technical assistance, the largest military matters remained with the sport inperfect minnows. The actions also cover other areas, economic, political, social, includingBurkina Faso, the main research field and a good example in terms of Africa. This research dealswith the French cooperation in its original sport. On a liberal approach theoretical framework andmethodology to qualitative data, it analyzes the evolution of African international cooperationfrom 1960 to 2010. Its results provide a picture of African cooperation shifted from bilateral tomultilateral with some complementarity. Cooperation actions are limited by international andlocal interests with their influences constant, the successes and failures. Finally it is a continentwith its economic difficulties, social, political, democratic learning difficult, but a human willpresent well to its growth and progress.

Social protection policy-making in Kenya : a study of the dynamics of policy transferOuma, Marion Atieno 04 1900 (has links)
Power, and how it is exercised within social relations is pivotal in explaining policy change. Hence, this dissertation explores policy change in Kenya by examining the transfer and subsequent adoption of social protection policies in the form of cash transfer schemes. Instead of the current analytical frameworks drawing from political settlements, political institutions, and ideational approaches in explaining policy uptake, the research studies policy making from a policy transfer and power nexus. The study examines power relations among multiple actors in the national context to explain the adoption of social protection policies. Hence this dissertation articulates power dynamics and asymmetries inherent in policy-making involving national and transnational actors as underpinning policy transfer processes. The thesis is premised on the following interrelated arguments; firstly, I show how transnational actors created and manipulated interests and incentives based on their resource base in three significant ways: controlling the policy agenda, constraining the agency of other actors and influencing the preferences of actors in the policy space. The interaction of interests and resources – financial, and ideas and knowledge – converged to bring about policy change. Secondly, I focus on the role of ideas and knowledge within policy space to show how the creation of a discursive hegemony and a structure of knowledge, social construction and policy narratives played a significant role in shaping learning and influencing national actors. Thirdly, I argue that transnational actors used structural mechanisms based on financing and coerced government to adopt social protection policies through a catalysing mechanism and imposition of conditionalities. The study depicts how transnational actors conditioned and manipulated national context and institutions to align with the idea of cash transfers. This thesis employs a qualitative approach to study policy transfer and subsequent adoption of two cases of transfer schemes in Kenya, the Cash Transfer for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (CT-OVC) and the Hunger Safety Net Programme (HSNP). / Sociology / D.

Relationen mellan WHO:s globala aidsprogram och ickestatliga organisationer : Kan bristen på samarbete förklaras utifrån new interdependence approach eller medlemsstaternas agerande? / Relations Between WHO Global Programme on AIDS and NGOs : Can the lack of cooperation be explained by new interdependence approach or the actions of member states?Tengdelius, Daniel January 2023 (has links)
This thesis aims to understand why the World health organization’s Global programme on aids (WHO GPA) does not appear to be able to collaborate with non-governmental actors (NGO), even though booth WHO GPA and NGO`s appears to value and seek cooperation. The purpose of this thesis is to examine whether the lack of cooperation between WHO GPA and NGO: s can be explained using new interdependence approach or if the actions of WHO´s member states v. The selected case in this thesis is WHO GPA which existed from 1987 to 1995 and represents the first anti-aids program supported by UN and its member states. WHO GPA is therefore active in a policy area where a lot of interactions with NGO: s could be expected. To analyse the apparent lack of cooperation between WHO GPA and relevant NGO: s, this article will apply the theories new interdependence approach and neorealism. To explain the research questions, how does the interaction between WHO GPA and NGO: s appear within the global effort against the aids pandemic, what role did member states have in limiting or enable formal cooperation between WHO GPA and NGO:s and finally how the theory new interdependence approach can explain the interactions between the WHO GPA and NGO: s. To answer the research questions this thesis will apply a qualitative text analysis on material from WHO GPA, for example annual reviews, as well as previous research articles and books that concerns the WHO GPA. The analysis concludes that the interaction between WHO GPA and NGO: s, can be explained with the fact that informal cooperation does appear but not formal cooperation. This appears to be because while booth WHO GPA and NGO: s seeks support and cooperation, the interactions between them is still affected by mistrust. The member state’s role in limiting or enabling cooperation can be answered two levels, globally where powerful states have strong informal powers to control WHO GPA. When NGO: s are granted formal representation, the selection of NGO: s is not representative of the larger NGO community and not in response to cooperation between WHO GPA and NGO:s. Recipient states does also appear to hinder cooperation between NGO:s, WHO GPA and national aids programmes, because of rivalry between the state and NGO over limited aid. Finally, new interdependence approach appears to explain to lack of formal cooperation, because of a lack of distinct resources. However, it cannot explain the cases where NGO: s achieved official representation as the result of cross-national layering.
