Thèse de doctorat effectuée en cotutelle avec la Faculté de droit de l'Université Jean Moulin Lyon III / Depuis le projet d’origine, l’Union européenne a étendu ses frontières, intégré de nouveaux territoires, de nouvelles traditions politiques et pris une nouvelle forme géographique. Ses frontières « non définies » se sont déplacées, le territoire cédant la place à un espace ouvert. Mais cette évolution n’a pas modifié la nature des interrogations sur son identité, sur l’existence d’une société européenne, sur l’identification des « peuples » européens à leur nouvelle communauté politique et sur l’émergence d’un espace public européen. La problématique de l'identité européenne est que malgré tous les moyens déployés par les institutions supranationales (processus d’harmonisation, d’homogénéisation et de convergence), celle-ci demeure un concept abstrait dont l’expression et l’enracinement dans le tissu social sont encore superficiels. L’Union européenne est une communauté de citoyens, les droits sont codifiés par les traités successifs, mais elle reste une communauté dont l’identité est encore incertaine. Bien que l’identité européenne concerne toute une série de questions qui doivent être saisies concurremment - élargissement, questions des frontières, hybridité politico-institutionnelle, nous l'analyserons notamment à travers le prisme de la citoyenneté européenne et de la Charte des droits fondamentaux de l'Union européenne. La question suivante sera ainsi posée : la citoyenneté européenne et la Charte européenne contribuent-elles à faire émerger, voire à consolider, une identité européenne? / Since the original project, the European Union has extended its borders, integrated new territories, new political traditions and has taken a new geographic form. Its borders "undefined" moved, the area giving way to an open space. But this evolution did not alter the nature of questions relating to its identity, the existence of a European society, the identification of "peoples" to their new European political Community and the emergence of a european public space. The issue of the European identity is that despite all measures deployed by supranational institutions (harmonization process, homogenization and convergence), it remains an abstract concept whose expression and rooting in the social sphere are still superficial. The European Union is indeed a community of citizens, the rights are codified by successive treaties, but it remains a community whose identity is still uncertain. Although the European identity concerns a range of questions that must be considered concurrently - enlargement, border issues, political-institutional hybridity, we will analyze it mainly through the prism of European citizenship and the Charter of Fundamental Rights. The following question will therefore be asked : European citizenship and the Charter of Fundamental Rights will they contribute to emerge or even consolidate a European identity?

"The Response of African Religion to Poverty with specific reference to the Umzimkhulu Municipality" is a particular effort of the wider world that researches the ways and means for combating the scourge of poverty in society aiming at securing a better future for the future generations. In as much as African traditional religion is part of the culture, tradition and custom of its tenants, and as such aims at the wellbeing of its tenants, it is able to offer a response to poverty. It teaches about the importance of the values of community, meaningful and life-affirming relationships and the value of ubuntu. All these clamour for extended sharing and extended participation which are essential if society will continue to exist. African traditional religion maintains an ethic that says: `Real poverty results from the blockage of the vital links'. Celebrating economic achievements in food must be preceded by the celebration of people. `Batho pele': is the contemporary Democratic South Africa's slogan that suggests putting people in the center of life. It does not only call us to serve the poor, but also to allow them to champion the courses of the kind of service they desire. African traditional religion teaches that, together with the other institutions that govern the lives of people, religion and politics should have among other things a concern about production and distribution of the resources, hence the claim: `Food is also politics'. In their dealing with the problem of poverty, religion, politics and other social institutions ought to dedicate a special place to instilling positive attitudes towards the concept of work among their tenants. In this way the slogan `Batho pele' or people first, does not merely mean waiting to be served, but it also means that every body to the best of their ability ought to be doing something towards the production of the items of service. The inclusiveness of African religion in terms of what it calls `community' cautions society about the importance of the other beings in its consideration of poverty alleviation. Our economic wellbeing depends mostly on our attitude towards the other non-personal neighbours, prominent among which is our common abode, the earth, the land. / Religious Studies & Arabic / D.Th.

This study theoretically presupposes that the individual is an integral entity, therefore, education should take place according to the harmonious development of all the facets of a child's being. Even in antiquity, physical education and sport were seen to be important for a balanced education. Every society implements physical education and sport according to own needs and requirements, according certain values to sport, which values are reviewed in this study. A literature study corroborates that the intellectual, physical and social development of the child undoubtedly forms part of the total environment of the educative process. Exclusion of any facet could cause an imbalance in the development of the child. Incorporation of physical education and sport in the post-apartheid educational dispensation of South Africa forms the later part of the investigation. Various factors in South Africa have an influence on the role and place of physical education and sport within the curriculum. Government involvement in sport can determine the place of sport in society and in the curriculum. The readmittance of South Africa into international participation and changes in the political policy also play a role. These factors pose the challenge and facilitate the possibility to reinstate physical education and sport at schools. The structure of South African sport is undergoing a total change and the role players in the sports fraternity are now faced with numerous challenges and opportunities. Reinstating physical education and sport in the school curriculum serves a vital role in the reconstruction and development of a healthy and well-balanced society. Furthermore, reinstatement could reverse the consequences of social and economic injustices. Research undertaken in Australia, also provides some answers to problems for the South African situation. It proposes new initiatives that could be of help to the relevant role players in the planning of physical education and school sport in the post­ apartheid educational dispensation of South Africa. / Educational Studies / D.

La construction des indicateurs dans les évaluations des politiques publiques en matière d’aide au développement est révélatrice des liens et d’échange que les pays occidentaux et africains entretiennent. De la diversité des méthodes aux négociations des normes requises, la construction des indicateurs devient un enjeu pour défendre les visions politiques des types de développement. Il parait, du point de viue de la science politique nécessaire, de déconstruire les systèmes de domination, d’entrer pleinement la construction des indicateurs dans le champ de la négociation et dans celui du pouvoir. Cette thèse interroge le contenu politique des indicateurs, leur abscence de neutralité vis-à-vis d’un projet politique, d’un rapport à l’Etat et à la politique en général. / The index building in evaluation of development aid public policies can contribute to define the exchange and link between African and western countries. By the diversity of methods and negotiation of standards, building indicators become stakes in defining political views of development. It is now necessary from the point of view of the political science, to deconstruct the system of monopoly by introducing index building in the field of negotiation, as well as the field of political power. This research is about the political content of index, their absence of neutrality in political project, states vision and finally in policy.

In the submitted thesis I focus on domestic violence issues. In the theoretical part, I outline these issues based on a bibliographic research; I specify a basic classification of domestic violence, its development, and the current situation in the Czech Republic. Further, I deal with an analysis of the victim and offender personalities and present a valid legislative framework. Last but not least, I present a list of selected organisations providing support for the persons at risk of domestic violence and principles of their work with such victims. In the empirical part I focus on an analysis of the methods of work and cooperation among selected supporting organisations and this based on interviews with their representatives. After reviewing all the obtained information, I present a proposal aimed at an improvement of the work with domestic violence victims. At the same time, I propose a task that is to be developed as a project by secondary school students within primary prevention; the project is aimed at familiarization of students with the correct and adequate procedures applied by workers from the organisations providing support for domestic violence victims.

It is its intention to analyze the solidary economy, while a possibility to generate work and income and of exercise of the participation, being had themselves as reference previous the personal and work experiences of cooperated/the associates, the experiences of the collective work in the solidary economical enterprises, including also the formation continued. One is about a research developed in three located solidary economical enterprises in the State of Sergipe, with activities in the branches of solid residues, confection and improvement of the shrimp. In the research, the qualitative method was used, understanding the collection of depositions gotten by means of half-structuralized interviews, participant and research bibliographical and documentary comment. Moreover, they had been used given statisticians for the characterization of the enterprises and it s cooperated/associates. The theoretical landmark has as base authors who study thematic of the solidary economy and the participation. The results had disclosed that the searched enterprises come propitiating the generation of work and income for cooperated/the associates, even so still are limited the financial results. However, the experiences show that the insertion in the enterprises, goes beyond the generation of work and income. Such experiences are bringing significant changes for the cooperated lives of/the associates, being distinguished: the learning of the automanagement collective work; the personal growth; the discovery and the development of potentialities; the magnifying of the vision of world and the importance of the participation in other social instances. It has, still, a long way to cover, as much in the direction of the consolidation of the enterprises and an effective generation of income as in the perspective of the automanagement and construction of a solidary and participative culture that assures the effective exercise of the citizenship / Esta tese tem como objeto de estudo a economia solidária. É seu propósito analisar a economia solidária, enquanto uma possibilidade de gerar trabalho e renda e de exercício da participação, tendo-se como referência as experiências pessoais e laborativas anteriores dos cooperados/associados, as vivências do trabalho coletivo nos empreendimentos econômicos solidários, incluindo-se também a formação continuada. Trata-se de uma pesquisa desenvolvida em três empreendimentos econômicos solidários localizados no Estado de Sergipe, com atividades nos ramos de resíduos sólidos, confecção e beneficiamento do camarão. Na pesquisa, foi utilizado o método qualitativo, compreendendo a coleta de depoimentos obtidos por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, observação participante e pesquisas bibliográfica e documental. Além disso, foram utilizados dados estatísticos para a caracterização dos empreendimentos e de seus cooperados/associados. O marco teórico tem como base autores que estudam a temática da economia solidária e participação. Os resultados revelaram que os empreendimentos pesquisados vêm propiciando a geração de trabalho e renda para os cooperados/associados, embora ainda sejam limitados os resultados financeiros. Todavia, as experiências mostram que a inserção nos empreendimentos, vai além da geração de trabalho e renda. Tais experiências estão trazendo mudanças significativas para as vidas dos cooperados/associados, destacando-se: o aprendizado do trabalho coletivo autogestionário; o crescimento pessoal; a descoberta e o desenvolvimento de potencialidades; a ampliação da visão de mundo e da importância da participação em outras instâncias sociais. Há, ainda, um longo caminho a percorrer, tanto no sentido da consolidação dos empreendimentos e uma efetiva geração de renda como na perspectiva da autogestão e construção de uma cultura solidária e participativa que assegure o efetivo exercício da cidadania

For the study of this subject, it was chosen a sector of the Brazilian economy that was out of the patterns of the new products and businesses enterprises, classified as dot.com and, at the same time globalized, with high fluctuation of prices and demand, requiring integrated information. According to this, it is important to consider that the way of sustaining the basic columns of enterprise management, named statistical, economical and behavioral, needs supporting of the information management. In this way, some information models have been developed, according to the management techniques, to make possible a dynamic process for the maximization of the performance indicators of the organization. Nevertheless, in these models, it is considered that the communication of information is closely related to the individual performance and, therefore, related to the human subjectivity. Thus, the relationship between the information management and the segments of enterprise management systems, aligned with the strategy of the undertaking, incite competitive differential, assuring the increasingly improvement of the organization process. / A proposta de um modelo de gest?o da informa??o caracteriza-se como um meio capaz de sustentar e direcionar o sistema de gest?o empresarial. Para o estudo deste assunto, escolheu-se um setor da economia brasileira que estivesse fora dos padr?es das empresas de novos neg?cios e produtos, categorizados como dot.com, mas que, ao mesmo tempo, estivesse globalizado, com alta volatilidade de pre?os e demanda, por conseguinte, requerente de informa??es integradas. Diante disso, urge considerar que a forma de sustenta??o dos pilares b?sicos da gest?o empresarial, denominados como estat?sticos, econ?micos e comportamentais, necessita do apoio da gest?o da informa??o. Neste sentido, foram desenvolvidos alguns modelos informacionais que, em conformidade com as t?cnicas de gest?o, venham possibilitar um processo din?mico de maximiza??o dos indicadores de desempenho da organiza??o. Todavia, nestes modelos, considera-se que a comunica??o da informa??o est? condicionada ? atua??o de cada indiv?duo, portanto, associada ? subjetividade humana. Desta forma, a rela??o entre a gest?o da informa??o e os segmentos do sistema de gest?o empresarial, alinhados com a estrat?gia do empreendimento estimulam diferenciais competitivos, assegurando, assim, a melhoria cont?nua dos processos da organiza??o.
