Why the term 'Anglo-Scottish Struggle' between 1337 and 1346? Why 'The Perspective of English Official Documents'? What influence did the so-called 'Hundred Year's War' have on the Anglo-Scottish relations in the first years of the war? What impact did the 'Scottish issue' have on the policy of the English king during the Anglo-French conflict? How did the perspective of English official documents differ from that of English chronicles or Scottish/French primary sources? What role did the rhetoric of these source play? How was it portrayed? The following thesis will try to analyse some of the aforementioned issues and will strive to prove that the Scottish kingdom had a profound impact on the English policy in multiple respects from the outset of the Hundred Years' War until the battle of Neville's Cross almost ten years later.

Adopting a Strategic Sustainable Development (SSD) approach to official bilateral development assistance could result in more effective development planning that yields lasting results in developing countries. A Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development Assistance (FSSDA) based on SSD and customised to the needs of a development agency offers guidance in planning for development towards sustainability. This it does by directing donor and recipient planners in generating holistic perspectives, setting the goal of development as an attractive and sustainable society, and providing a flexible decision-making framework to guide strategic planning. Development assistance donor agencies face several difficulties in ensuring aid effectiveness. The FSSDA offers support in addressing these challenges by: positioning the creation of sustainable societies as the fundamental goal of development; allowing progress against imminent sustainability threats while minimizing the risk of unforeseen negative impacts; balancing economic, environmental and social considerations; and providing a fairer basis for aid conditionality.

The master thesis analyzes the Act No. 234/2014 Coll., On Civil Service, from the aspect of related legislation, Act No. 312/2002 Coll., On Public Officials of the Local Self-Government Units. When the Law On the Civil Service came into force, at the beginning of last year, two categories of officials were created. On the one side there are civil servants who are in service of the Czech Republic, on the other side there are officials who are employed by local self-government units. The analysis is focused on five areas, where it is possible to compare the method of legislation under both laws. After review of these selected areas, the application problems of the civil service are identified. At the end of the thesis, there are legislative proposals for changes that are inspired by relevant legislation.

Notre thèse a pour objectif de renouveler la perception que nous avons habituellement de l’aide publique au développement (APD) à travers un nouveau concept, celui de « biens publics internationaux et mondiaux ». L’aide internationale ne doit plus être fondée exclusivement sur le caractère « charitable » ou/et « intéressé » des pays du Nord, mais sur une prise de conscience effective et collective concernant la préservation des intérêts communs à tous les Etats. En ce sens, nous entendons démontrer que le concept de BPIM peut éclairer d’un jour nouveau celui d’aide publique au développement (APD) et conduire à une conception élargie de la coopération internationale dans la mesure où la fourniture à la collectivité de ce type de biens est un enjeu fondamental pour la communauté du développement. / The objective of the present work is to present a renewed perspective for the study of Official Development Assistance (ODA) through the new concept of “International and Global Public Goods” (IGPG). International assistance should no longer be solely based on the “charitable” and/or “self-interested” behaviour of the North, but should be motivated by the collective realisation that such assistance preserves the common interests of all States. To this effect, the present work seeks to demonstrate that the IGPG concept sheds a new light on our understanding of ODA leading to a larger conceptualisation of international cooperation, where supplying such public goods becomes a fundamental stake for development.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Emerson Francisco De Souza.pdf: 847858 bytes, checksum: 9ecec83a05260166e1de3b30c9fd8530 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-04-06 / The state government of São Paulo, through the State Secretary of Education, presented and implemented, in 2008, a new curriculum proposal for all schools in the state public school system. In 2010, this curriculum proposal became the official curriculum. This research object of study is the proposed curriculum for the subject of history. Our main concern is to try to understand how history teachers that work in state schools understand, analyze and incorporate the official curriculum objectives, and procedures, and educational concepts, and guidelines into their routine and school practice. Research sources are constituted of official documents that support the proposal such as the base document, the teacher's notebook and student's notebook, the regulatory framework produced by SEE-SP and a set of four interviews with history teachers. Interviews approach teachers’ educational background, their understanding of the curriculum debate, their analysis of the implementation process and how the proposals present in the curriculum have been incorporated in their daily work at school. In this process, the text initially presents different curriculum theories that inform the current debate to show the approximations and distances with the official curriculum. Following, it presents the official curriculum, its foundations, guidelines and structural axes. At the end, it presents history teachers speeches, specifically relating their training to their understanding of curriculum processes, their reading of the official curriculum, the criticism that manifest, the experiences built daily to deal with the curriculum. In the face of the findings in this research, it is clear that there is little understanding of the curricular debate among teachers and that resistance or acceptance they manifest in relation to the official curriculum is guided by a conception of education that they understand to be critical and disruptive of the official discourse. The practices that they report show critics to the curriculum objectives, specifically to its imposition and linking with the pedagogy of competencies. Teachers defend the need for the curriculum to be standardized across the school network. They incorporate the proposed content, although making remarks to the form of distribution and organization. / El gobierno del estado de São Paulo, por intermedio de la Secretaria del Estado de Educación, he presentado y puesto en práctica, en el año 2008, una nueva propuesta de plan de estudios para todas las escuelas del sistema de educación pública del estado. En 2010, esta propuesta curricular se convirtió en el currículo oficial. El objeto de estudio de esta investigación es el currículo propuesto para la disciplina de la historia. Nuestra principal preocupación es tratar de comprender cómo los profesores de esta disciplina que trabajan en las escuelas de la red estadual de enseñanza entenden, analizan e incorporan en su cotidiano y en la práctica escolar, los objetivos, procedimientos, conceptos y directrices educativas presentes en el currículo oficial. Las fuentes de investigación constituyense de documentos oficiales que apoyan la propuesta como el documento base, el cuaderno del profesor y cuaderno de estudiante, el marco normativo producido por la SEE-SP y un conjunto de cuatro entrevistas con maestros de historia. Las entrevistas discuten acerca de la formación de los maestros, el entendimento que tienen sobre el debate curricular, el análisis que hacen del proceso de implementación y cómo, en su trabajo diario en la escuela, se han incorporado las propuestas presentes en currículo. En este proceso, el texto presenta inicialmente diferentes conceptos de currículo que informan el debate actual con el fin de mostrar las proximidades y las distancias con el currículo oficial. A continuación, se presenta el currículo oficial, sus fundamentos, directrices y líneas de construcción. Al final, se presenta el discurso de los profesores de historia, específicamente cerca de la relación entre su formación y la comprensión del proceso curricular, la lectura que hacen del currículo oficial, la crítica que manifiestan, las experiencias que se crontroyen en el trato diario del plan de estudios. A la vista de los resultados de esta investigación, es posible afirmar que hay poca comprensión entre el profesorado del debate curricular, que la resistencia o la adhesión que manifiestan en relación al currículo oficial es guiada por una concepción de educación que los maestros entienden cómo crítica y contestadora del discurso oficial. Las prácticas que relatan muestran que se critican los objetivos del currículo, específicamente su imposición y vinculación con la pedagogía de las competencias, afirman la necesidad de que el currículo sea estandarizado en toda la red, que incorporan los contenidos propuestos, pero hacen críticas a la forma de distribución y organización. / O governo do Estado de São Paulo, por intermédio da Secretaria de Estado da Educação, apresentou e implementou, no ano de 2008, uma nova proposta curricular para todas as escolas da rede pública estadual de ensino. Em 2010, essa proposta curricular se tornou o currículo oficial. O objeto de estudo dessa pesquisa é o currículo proposto para a disciplina de história. Nossa preocupação central é procurar compreender a forma como os professores dessa disciplina que trabalham na rede estadual de ensino compreendem, analisam e incorporam em seu cotidiano e prática escolar, os objetivos, os procedimentos, as concepções de educação e as diretrizes presentes no currículo oficial. As fontes de pesquisa se constituem dos documentos oficiais que subsidiam a proposta, como o documento base, o caderno do professor e o caderno do aluno, do marco regulatório produzido pela SEE-SP e um conjunto de quatro entrevistas, feitas com professores da disciplina de história. As entrevistas discorrem sobre a formação dos docentes, a compreensão que possuem sobre o debate curricular, a análise que fazem do processo de implementação e como, em seu trabalho cotidiano na escola, as propostas presentes no currículo foram incorporadas. Nesse processo, o texto apresenta inicialmente diferentes concepções de currículo, que informam o debate atual, na perspectiva de mostrar proximidades e distanciamentos com o currículo oficial. Na sequência, apresenta o currículo oficial, seus fundamentos, diretrizes e eixos estruturantes. Ao final, apresenta a fala dos professores de história, especificamente sobre a relação entre sua formação e compreensão dos processos curriculares, a leitura que fazem do currículo oficial, as críticas que manifestam, as experiências que constroem ao lidar cotidianamente com o currículo. Diante dos achados dessa pesquisa, é possível afirmar que há pouca compreensão entre os professores do debate curricular, que a resistência ou adesão que manifestam em relação ao currículo oficial é orientada por uma concepção de educação, que eles entendem como crítica e contestadora do discurso oficial. As práticas que relatam mostram que se criticam os objetivos do currículo, especificamente sua imposição e vinculação com a pedagogia das competências, defendem a necessidade de que o currículo seja padronizado em toda rede, que incorporam os conteúdos propostos, embora façam ressalvas à forma de distribuição e organização.
