Municipalities are faced with the major task of providing water services to their local residents. Dissatisfaction regarding water services in South Africa has been manifested in protests staged by communities. However, service delivery is still reflecting a backlog. This study aims to describe the current situation and challenges facing Greater Tubatse Local Municipality and the roles of the major players regarding water services. The study indicated that the residents of Praktiseer have no sustainable potable water. The critical part of this inquiry is to establish whether the local municipality has strategies in place to deal with the identified problems. Access to clean water and sanitation is essential to health. The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa mandates the local governments to ensure the provision of water services to their communities in a sustainable manner. This study also defined the roles of the local municipality within the context of the existing legislative framework. / Thesis (M.

This thesis seeks to trace the process of Germany&rsquo / becoming a multicultural society through the politico-historical analysis of the matter of immigration to Germany. The working assumption while projecting this study is as follows / there is a close relation between the policies and implementations of Germany in practice and becoming a multicultural society during the process in question. Germany became a multinational society with its composition of different ethnic, religious and cultural groups / but it is clearly seen that Germany is not moving toward becoming a multicultural society, at least in the near future, considering its policies and implementations in practice. At the same time, considering the main arguments and effects of these new immigration and citizenship laws concerning immigrants will provide an essential ground for recognizing whether Germany is a multicultural society or not.

Les crises financières internationales ne se présentent pas comme des événements rares et isolés dans le temps. Des dénominateurs communs classiques à toute crise financière se retrouvent dans chaque cas historique : la détérioration des indicateurs macroéconomiques, la psychologie et les paniques des investisseurs, la spéculation. La problématique des dettes souveraines ne relevait jusqu’à présent principalement que des pays en développement, alors que les récentes perturbations financières ont démontré que les pays développés pouvaient également être gravement affectés. L’objectif de ce travail est d’analyser les évolutions du cadre juridique de la gestion des dettes souveraines pour réunir des éléments qui permettent de comprendre le choix normatif privilégié par chaque opérateur. L’actuel scénario d’endettement des États souverains entraîne nécessairement un bouleversement irréversible des règles et des structures juridiques connues qui visent à assurer le bon fonctionnement de l’économie mondiale. Face à l’actuelle incertitude normative, il est primordial d’étudier les supports du financement souverain, le traitement des crises, les propositions de réformes visant à améliorer le système et le rôle des institutions multilatérales dans la gestion de la dette souveraine. Après avoir déterminé l’existence d’un engagement international de gestion des dettes souveraines, nous plaidons pour la mise en œuvre d’un ensemble normatif d’outils conçus pour intégrer les réglementations nationales sur la base de modèles préexistants. / Historically, international financial crises do not occur in isolation but rather go hand in hand with the deterioration of macroeconomic indicators, investor panic and speculation. Until recently, the sovereign debt issue has principally concerned developing countries. However, the recent financial turmoil has revealed that developed countries can similarly be severely affected. Since the beginning of the 20th century, experts in international law have periodically discussed the possible remedies to the endemic situation of sovereign indebtedness. In 2001, the International Monetary Fund launched a proposal for a Sovereign Debt Restructuring Mechanism known as the ‘Krueger Plan’; this was quickly abandoned in 2003. Due to the present economic and political cul-de-sac, the legal framework of sovereign debt management strongly preoccupies the international community. The current sovereign debt scenario necessarily involves an irreversible disruption of the legal rules and structures that currently support a proper functioning global economy. This doctoral thesis analyses the evolution of the legal framework and the normative choices favoured by each actor. Identifying which particular legal issues are essential to evaluate such complexity allows us to deepen the theoretical and practical suggestions designed to facilitate the resolution of sovereign debt crises. After establishing the leading international requirements for sovereign debt management, this thesis advocates the implementation of a normative set of tools designed to integrate domestic regulations on the basis of previous models. / Internationale Finanzkrisen erweisen sich als nicht seltene und zeitlich unbegrenzte Ereignisse. Jeder Finanzkrise in der Historie haften die gleichen klassischen Charakteristiken an: die Beschädigung makroökonomischer Indikatoren, der Psychologie sowie die Panik der Investoren, Spekulationen. Darüber hinaus beschränken sich die aktuellen Finanzstörungen nicht mehr nur auf Entwicklungsländer. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit besteht darin, die Entwicklung des Rechtsrahmens der Verwaltung souveräner Schulden zu analysieren, um Elemente zusammenzutragen, die es erlauben die bevorzugten normativen Entscheidungen jedes Akteures zu verstehen, zu bewerten und im Anschluss entsprechend Handlungsanweisungen zu geben. Das gegenwärtige Szenario der Verschuldung souveräner Staaten führt unweigerlich zu einer unumkehrbaren Umwälzung der bekannten Rechtsverordnungen und -strukturen, die auf die Gewährleistung eines reibungslosen Funktionierens der Weltwirtschaft abzielen. Angesichts der gegenwärtigen normativen Unsicherheit, ist es von größter Bedeutung die Auseinandersetzung mit finanziellen Krisen, die entsprechenden Reformvorschläge, die Suche nach Systemverbesserungen hinsichtlich einer Marktregulierung und die Rolle der multilateralen Institutionen bezüglich der Verwaltung souveräner Schulden genauer zu untersuchen. Nach der Feststellung des Vorliegens einer internationalen Verpflichtung zum Staatsschuldenmanagement wird die Einführung einer Reihe normativer Werkzeuge befürwortet, um nationale Vorschriften auf Grundlage bereits bestehender Modelle zu integrieren.

The work is divided in two parts. The first, to verify the adequacy of construction agreement (empreitada) rules to the EPC agreement and the possible need for specific ruling on this matter. Analyzes the legal framework of construction agreement (empreitada) stated on Brazilian Civil Code, drawing a parallel with the main characteristics and differences between construction agreement (empreitada) and the EPC from its legal and economic perspective of project finance. The second part analyzes the main characteristics of the FIDIC’s EPC standard form, known as Silver Book, and its application in Brazil considering the peculiarities of our legal system. / Esta dissertação de mestrado visa analisar os contratos de EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) bem como sua utilização em padrões ou formulários, tal como o apresentado pela Federação Internacional de Engenheiros Consultores (FIDIC). O trabalho está dividido em duas partes. A primeira tem como objetivo verificar a adequação das normas da empreitada ao contrato EPC e a eventual necessidade de regramento específico sobre a matéria. Analisa-se o regime jurídico do contrato de empreitada do Código Civil de 2002, traçando um paralelo entre suas principais características e diferenças em relação ao EPC considerando o modelo de project finance como seu racional jurídico. A segunda parte analisa as principais características do contrato EPC no padrão FIDIC, conhecido como Silver Book, e sua aplicação no Brasil diante das peculiaridades de nosso sistema jurídico.

Analisa o impacto da convergência tecnológica na atual classificação do setor de comunicação do GATS e, em que medida tal impacto altera os compromissos assumidos pelos Membros da OMC nos serviços de telecomunicação e audiovisual, e em particular no que respeita ao conteúdo audiovisual. Ademais, investiga os interesses brasileiros na questão diante das iniciativas governamentais para a regulação do conteúdo audiovisual. Com base na experiência profissional da autora na OMC e no setor de comunicação no Brasil, da leitura de doutrina nacional e estrangeira sobre o tema proposto e de conversas com negociadores brasileiros na OMC, o trabalho verifica primeiramente a estrutura básica do GATS, seu histórico de negociações, indicando as motivações para a inclusão no Acordo do setor de comunicação, bem como sua arquitetura organizacional que é fundamental para a flexibilidade conferida aos Membros. Trata, ainda, do controle pela OMC na aplicação das obrigações concernentes ao GATS. Posteriormente, discute o tratamento dado ao setor de comunicação e, em particular, aos subsetores de telecomunicação e audiovisual, bem como suas diferenças e inter-relações, verificando exemplos práticos do impacto da convergência, bem como da internet. Na sequência, aborda dispositivos do GATS que preservam a capacidade dos Membros de eleger políticas regulatórias, examinando o artigo VI(4), pois garante um equilíbrio entre a premissa de liberalização comercial da OMC e o direito à preservação da capacidade regulatória dos Membros. Verifica, também, o conceito de regulamentação doméstica no GATS e nos direitos brasileiro e comparado, vislumbrando o alcance da regulação de conteúdo audiovisual no Acordo, e se, dada a natureza especial que a ele se atribui, deve ou não ser tratado de modo especial. Para tanto, analisa a distinção entre os enfoques cultural e econômico protagonizados, respectivamente, por União Europeia e Estados Unidos, e a influência da Convenção da UNESCO sobre a Proteção e Promoção da Diversidade das Expressões Culturais nos compromissos em audiovisual, mesmo sem ser parte integrante do GATS. Mostra, também, o atual cenário sobre conteúdo audiovisual no GATS, examinando os marcos regulatórios norte-americano e europeu, inclusive no tocante às cotas de conteúdo nacional, bem como a influência desses marcos nas negociações, inclusive no âmbito de propostas apresentadas na Rodada Doha. Verifica, ainda, que há poucos compromissos e muitas isenções à cláusula de nação mais favorecida inseridas nas Listas Nacionais, o que leva ao exame da Lista brasileira para o setor de comunicação. Examina, na sequência, as decisões do Órgão de Solução de Controvérsias da OMC que poderão ser utilizadas em futuras controvérsias sobre o setor. Por fim, trata do marco regulatório sobre conteúdo audiovisual no direito brasileiro, observando os efeitos da convergência, além de estudar se a legislação atual comporta as mudanças por ela provocadas. Para tanto, analisa a atuação das agências reguladoras e Ministérios que disciplinam o setor da comunicação face às garantias constitucionais da liberdade de expressão e acesso à informação para entender a relação entre conteúdo e regulação e verificar quais situações justificam a regulação. No contexto, verifica a iniciativa brasileira quanto à criação de cotas de conteúdo nacional. / This thesis analyses the impact of technological convergence at the current classification of the communications sector at the GATS and to which extent it changes the commitments made by the WTO Members at the telecommunications and audiovisual services, in particular regarding audiovisual content. In addition, it examines the Brazilian interests regarding governmental initiatives for audiovisual content regulation. Based on the professional experience of the author at the WTO and the communications sector in Brazil, a considerable amount of foreign and Brazilian literature about the proposed subject and conversations with Brazilian negotiators at the WTO, the thesis firstly analyses the basic structure of the GATS, contextualizes its negotiations, pointing out the motivations to include the communications sector and verifies its organizational architecture, which is fundamental to preserve the flexibility granted to WTO Members. Secondly, it discusses the treatment given to the communications sector, mainly to the subsectors of telecommunications and audiovisual, as well as the differences and correlations among those subsectors. It also verifies practical examples of the impact of technological convergence and the internet at the sector. Thirdly, it addresses GATS provisions preserving Members capacity to choose regulatory policies. The work analyses article VI (4) which guarantees the balance between WTO commercial liberalization and the right to preserve Members regulatory capacity. Also, it addresses the domestic regulation concept at the GATS and at Brazilian and foreign laws in order to understand the extent of audiovisual content regulation at the referred agreement and whether audiovisual content should be treated in a special way. In this sense, it studies the distinction between cultural and economic approaches defended respectively by the European Union and the USA and the influence of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions on the commitments made for audiovisual services, even without being part of the GATS. Fourthly, it shows the current GATS scenario on audiovisual content by examining the European and the US legal frameworks, including content quotas, and the influence of said frameworks at the negotiations, including as per the Members proposals submitted at the Doha Round. It also verifies that there are few commitments and many exemptions to the MNF clause listed in the National Schedules of specific commitments, therein included the Brazilian schedule for the communications sector. The thesis also discusses certain decisions of the WTO Dispute Settlement Body which could be used in future disputes related to the sector. Finally, it addresses the Brazilian legal framework on audiovisual content, identifying the effects of convergence, and examines whether the current legal framework supports the changes caused by convergence. In this sense, the work analyses the role of regulatory agencies and ministries ruling on the communications sector in Brazil vis à vis the constitutional guarantees of freedom of expression and access to information so as to understand the relation between content and regulation and to verify which situations justify content regulation. In this context, it verifies the Brazilian content quotas initiative.

Neste intuito fez-se necessário buscar no referencial teórico algumas considerações sobre o Estado e a concepção de Estado do Bem-Estar Social e sua crise, com o fim de compreendermos a dinâmica na transferência da execução de serviços públicos para organizações da sociedade civil através da celebração de parcerias. Verifica-se que no caso brasileiro as parcerias foram incentivadas a partir da reforma administrativa que aconteceu em meados da década de 1990, com fundamento na Constituição Federal de 1988, que se mostra propícia à descentralização e terceirização de serviços. Neste trabalho o conceito de organizações da sociedade civil sem fins lucrativos está intimamente ligado a ideia de terceiro setor e ao modelo de instituições brasileiras sem fins lucrativos. Desta maneira, procuramos realizar uma análise sobre os elementos do desenho das parcerias das ONGs conveniadas com o poder público à luz da legislação atual e do Novo Marco Legal / The present work is mainly aimed to conduct an analysis of contracting mechanisms of non-governmental organizations by the government in Brazil, identifying the models imposed by applicable laws, as well as analyzing the new Legal Framework. To this end he was made in the theoretical framework necessary to seek some considerations about the state and the conception of the State Social Welfare and its crisis, in order to understand the dynamics of executing the transfer of public services to civil society organizations through the partnering. It appears that in the Brazilian case the partnerships were encouraged from the administrative reform that happened in the mid-1990s, based on the Federal Constitution of 1988, which shows favorable to decentralization and outsourcing services. In this work the concept of civil society organizations nonprofit is closely linked to the idea of third sector and the Brazilian nonprofit model. Thus, we tried to perform an analysis on the design elements of partnership agreements with the government in the light of current legislation and the New Legal Framework NGOs.

Over the past years, our country has witnessed a great increase in the hiring of foreigners for work purposes. It is in this context that it becomes relevant what has been established by de Legislative Decree 689, the Act of Recruitment of Foreign Personnel.In the present article, the authors develop the legal framework of foreigner´s hiring in Peru, as well as its requirements, limits, migration procedures and its scope of application. A reference is also made to the International Covenants signed by our country regarding the topic. The authors conclude, however, that national regulation on the hiring of foreign personnel is insufficient and has alimited scope. / Durante los últimos años, nuestro país ha presenciado un incremento en el número deextranjeros contratados con fines laborales. Es en este contexto que resulta importante lo establecido por el Decreto Legislativo 689, Ley de Contratación de Personal Extranjero.En el presente artículo, las autoras desarrollan el marco legal de la contratación de extranjeros en el Perú, sus requisitos, limites, procedimiento migratorio y ámbitos de aplicación. Asimismo, se hace referencia a los convenios internacionales celebrados por nuestro país sobre la materia. Se llega a concluir, sin embargo, que la regulación nacional en materia laboral migratoria es insuficiente y sólo tieneun alcance parcial.

Au cours du dernier demi-siècle, en France, des communes jusqu'ici considérées comme rurales ont connu une forte évolution démographique, triplant, voire quadruplant leur population, ce qui provoque une mutation de leur structure spatiale. Ces territoires sont dès lors pris en tenaille entre des législations édictées au niveau national qui mettent désormais en œuvre un « modèle de développement durable » et des dynamiques socio-économiques locales. L’enjeu de ce travail de thèse est de comprendre comment l’aménagement spatial peut accompagner la transition écologique dans ces communes de l’espace rural métropolisé pour tendre vers un développement durable. Le terrain d’étude, le territoire de la communauté de communes Eure Madrie Seine, (CCEMS : 23 communes, 28 663 habitants, 191,2 km²), entre Rouen et Paris, constitue un observatoire remarquable du complexe jeu d'échelles spatiales et temporelles qui mobilise les ressources locales, humaines et naturelles. Ce terrain permet en outre de considérer un niveau de décision et de cohésion trans-territoriale où les acteurs éprouvent dans l’action les différentes représentations du développement durable. Le premier objet de ce travail de thèse est d’examiner comment les composantes territoriales de cette communauté de communes influent sur la définition du développement durable à l'échelle locale (besoins des communes, logiques et stratégies des acteurs pour l'aménagement de l'espace). Le second aspect de cette étude est de déterminer comment le cadre législatif agit sur la mise en œuvre du développement durable dans les communes de cet espace rural métropolisé, et d’en analyser ses conséquences spatiales. Formant l’hypothèse que territoire et transition écologique sont intimement liés, il s’agit d’explorer les enjeux territoriaux au prisme du développement durable : une action locale qui s’inscrit dans un cadre législatif global au travers duquel se dessine une nécessaire équité territoriale. / Within half a century, in France, the municipalities so far regarded as rural have experienced a strong demographic evolution which have tripled, or even quadrupled, their population, causing a disorganisation of their spatial structure. Those territories have to link recent national legislation which now implements a "model of sustainable development ” and local socio-economic dynamics. The aim of this PhD thesis is to understand how spatial planning could accompany the ecological transition in these metropolitan rural areas. The district council Eure Madrie Seine, (CCEMS : 23, Municipalities, 28 663 habitants, 191,2 km²), between Paris and Rouen, offers an outstanding field for scale and temporality variations study mobilising local resources, including natural, human. This survey study also considers a new level of decision and trans-territorial cohesion where local stakeholders feel in the action various representations of sustainable development.The first objective of this research is to examine how territorial data oh this council district influences the definition of sustainable development at the local level (needs of the localities, spatial planning strategies of local stakeholders). The second objective is to determine how the legislation framework affects the implementation of sustainable development in rural metropolitan areas, and in particular to analyse the spatial consequences of this complex process. Based on the assumption that territory and ecological transition are interrelated, the aim is to explore territorial interest regarding sustainable development: local action included in a global legislation framework trough a necessary territorial equity.
