Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-25T20:20:15Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Paulo Rogerio Scarano.pdf: 2048190 bytes, checksum: 33a0f06df2db79357f59f0dbab92aed9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-06-03 / The purpose of this work is to analyze the possibilities and limitations of the regional financial arrangement called Chiang Mai Initiative (CMI); a agreement among the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Japan, China and South Korea (ASEAN+3), whose aim is to supply temporary funds to any of its members in need, to face an international context of high volatility of capital flows in which the lacking of proper mechanisms to provide liquidity could result in crises that could go beyond the boundaries of a particular nation. This interdisciplinary study, which shares topics with the areas of International Relations and International Political Economy, is fundamental to understand the scope and the difficulties involving regional financial agreements among different countries that frequently compete with each other and have a history of rivalry and territorial disputes. So the initial hypothesis about the reaches and limitations of Chiang Mai Initiative is that they are a result of the financial and economical interdependence, associated with the political differences between the countries of the ASEAN+3. This work starts with a short review on the International Monetary and Financial System and its institutions, particularly the role of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), since the Bretton Woods agreements until the current international financial architecture. It follows a discussion about how this architecture may be associated with the Asiatic Crises of 1997-98, basing the analysis on the vulnerability indicators of the countries affected by the crises and the actions taken by the IMF. The discontentment concerning the procedures of the international financial institutions favored the conditions necessary for the progress of the CMI. Such progress will be approached based on the analysis of the documentation produced at the ASEAN+3 Finance Ministers Meeting and the associated literature. After discussed the CMI institutional characteristics, this work explores the degree of economic integration between the countries of the region, using the data available by the local governments and the international organizations like the IMF, the World Bank and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). It is also shown in this work that if in on hand the regional interdependence justifies a regional financial arrangement like the CMI, on the other hand the absence of a clear regional hegemony, the regional rivalries and a significant territorial disputes caused difficulties to establish a regional cooperation environment. The large accumulation of international reserves as a self protection mechanism among the East Asian nations illustrates their suspicious regarding a regional collective solution / O objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar as possibilidades e as limitações do arranjo financeiro regional denominado Iniciativa de Chiang Mai (CMI), acordado entre os países da Associação das Nações do Sudeste Asiático, o Japão, a China e a Coréia (ASEAN+3). Trata-se de uma iniciativa regional para fazer frente às necessidades temporárias de divisas que um país-membro possa enfrentar, em um cenário internacional de grande volatilidade no fluxo de capitais, em que a ausência de mecanismos adequados e tempestivos de provisão de liquidez pode resultar em uma crise com poder para ultrapassar as fronteiras da nação inicialmente atingida. O estudo do tema, de caráter interdisciplinar entre as áreas de Relações Internacionais e da Economia Política Internacional, é fundamental para que se possam compreender os alcances e as dificuldades que envolvem um acordo para fornecimento de divisas entre países muito diferentes, que frequentemente competem entre si, e que possuem um histórico de rivalidades e disputas territoriais. Assim, parte-se da hipótese de que os alcances e as limitações da CMI são dados pela interdependência econômicofinanceira e pelas diferenças políticas entre os países associados à ASEAN+3. Para realizar o presente trabalho, parte-se de uma breve revisão da literatura sobre o Sistema Monetário e Financeiro Internacional e suas instituições, com ênfase no papel do Fundo Monetário Internacional (FMI), dos acordos de Bretton Woods até a atual configuração da arquitetura financeira internacional. Em seguida, o trabalho discute como tal arquitetura pode ser associada à natureza da Crise Asiática de 1997-98, analisando os indicadores de vulnerabilidade dos países afetados e a atuação do FMI. Mostra, assim, que o descontentamento com o encaminhamento dado pela institucionalidade financeira internacional criou o ambiente necessário para o avanço da CMI. Tal avanço será retratado a partir da análise da documentação produzida nas Reuniões dos Ministros das Finanças da ASEAN+3 e da literatura subsequente. Exposta a institucionalidade da CMI, o trabalho parte para uma análise exploratória do grau de integração econômica entre os países da região, a partir de dados disponibilizados pelos governos locais e por organizações internacionais como o FMI, o Banco Mundial e a Conferência das Nações Unidas para o Comércio e o Desenvolvimento (UNCTAD). O trabalho mostra que, se por um lado o grau de interdependência regional justifica um arranjo financeiro regional como a CMI, e sua institucionalização é evidência disso, por outro lado, a inexistência de uma clara hegemonia na região, as rivalidades entre os países e a existência de disputas territoriais importantes criam dificuldades para a cooperação regional. O elevado acúmulo de reservas internacionais, como mecanismo individual de autoproteção generalizado entre os países do Leste Asiático, ilustra sua desconfiança em uma solução coletiva regional

La commande des peintures bouddhiques dans les monastères de la province de Chiang Mai / Order of the Buddhist paintings in the monastery of the province of Chiang Mai

Tayac, Sébastien 14 December 2010 (has links)
Cette étude, conçue comme un état des lieux des peintures murales dans les monastères de six districts de la province de Chiang Mai, a permis d’une part d’étudier les différents acteurs de la commande artistique [commanditaires, donateurs, artistes] et d’autre part de définir ces peintures en quatre groupes selon une classification à la fois chronologique et stylistique. Les multiples facteurs susceptibles d’influencer la présence ou l’absence de peintures dans les temples ont été également examinés. Une comparaison de l’iconographie présentée dans ces temples entre les quatre groupes retrouvés a été également entreprise afin d’affiner les caractéristiques de ces derniers. En parallèle, une attention toute particulière a été portée aux artistes travaillant dans les temples afin de mieux connaître ces individus méconnus et ignorés. Formations, milieux sociaux, place de la femme artiste, inspirations et influences, autant de thèmes évoqués au sein de cette étude. / This study, designed as an inventory of murals in the monasteries of six districts of the province of Chiang Mai made it possible on the one hand to study the various actors involved in an art order [sponsors, donors, artists] and on the other hand to classify these paintings into four groups according to their chronological and stylistic description. The multiple factors likely to influence the presence or the absence of paintings in the temples were also examined. A comparison of the iconography between the four groups found in these temples was also undertaken in order to refine their characteristics. In parallel, special attention was paid to the artists working in the temples in order to learn more about these unsung and ignored individuals. Training, social environments, place of the woman artist, inspirations and influences are topics discussed in this study.

Three major novels of Miguel Angel Asturias : a study in fictional method

Martin, G. M. January 1970 (has links)
Despite the award of the Nobel Prize to Miguel Angel Asturias in 1967, he appears to have gone into decline with the rise of the nueva novela latinoamericana. Emir Rodrguez Monegal's influential but negative view in "Los dos Asturias" ignores several important points already raised by G.Yepes-Boscan's "Asturias, un pretexto del mito". Asturias' two major innovations are a functional incorporation of Latin American myth allied to audacious experimentation with language, and these are the acknowledged central features of the "new" novel. El Senor Presidente and Hombres de maz together prefigure all the varied manifestations of the nueva novela, an example of which is Asturias' own Mulata de tal.

La critique radicale de la science en France : origines et incidences de la politisation de la science en France depuis Mai 1968 / Radical criticism of science in France : origins and effects of the politicization of science since May 1968

Debailly, Renaud 19 January 2010 (has links)
L’idée selon laquelle les citoyens devraient participer à la définition des choix scientifiques et techniques s’est progressivement diffusée en France à partir des années 1980. Cet idéal participatif repose sur le renouvellement de la conception des rapports entre sciences et société. Cette thèse propose d’étudier la genèse de cette nouvelle conception à partir de la critique de la science formulée par des acteurs scientifiques durant les années 1970, et d’établir les liens entre cette critique et la nouvelle sociologie des sciences. La critique est envisagée comme un processus de politisation de la science, c’est-à-dire une requalification de la science en tant qu’activité sociale indifférenciée. Trois axes ont été retenus pour étudier la constitution de cet idéal participatif : les conditions d’émergence de cette critique de la science, sa structuration dans les revues militantes, et ses effets sur des domaines déterminés (la vulgarisation au Seuil, et l’expertise avec les Boutiques de Sciences). / From the eighties, the idea that citizens should participate in the definition of both scientific and technical choices gradually spread in France. That participative ideal rests on the renewal of the conception of the relation between sciences and society. This doctoral dissertation proposes to study the genesis of that new conception from the science’s criticism expressed by scientific actors in the seventies and from the connections between that criticism and the new sociology of sciences. Here, the criticism is contemplated as a science’s politicization process, that is to say an amendment of science as an undifferentiated social activity. In order to study the constitution of that participative ideal, three main lines have been holded: the conditions of that criticism’s emergence, its structuring in activist reviews, and its effects on specific domains (popularization at Seuil publishing house and the expertise with the Science Shops).
