Esta investigação analisa projetos em disputas na produção de políticas de currículo em EJA (Educação de Jovens e Adultos). Para tal, são investigadas produções de dois espaços em que circulam diferentes textos que enunciam demandas de diversos grupos, a saber, os ENEJAs (Encontro Nacional de Educação de Jovens e Adultos) e o GT 18 da ANPEd (Associação Nacional de Pós-graduação e Pesquisa em Educação). Nesses, são identificadas e problematizadas demandas em disputa na produção de políticas de currículo em EJA, que articuladas no processo de significação, tencionam constituir um discurso hegemônico no currículo voltado à EJA. É destacada, no processo de produção das políticas, a atuação das comunidades epistêmicas em diferentes contextos na tentativa de influenciar e hegemonizar determinados sentidos em torno da produção das políticas de currículo em EJA. Nesse sentido, as políticas de currículo são entendidas como discurso, o que implica abordar e problematizar discursos que circulam em diferentes contextos como atravessados por relações de saber-poder. Para tal, dialogamos com a teoria do discurso proposta por Ernesto Laclau, a abordagem metodológica do ciclo contínuo de políticas de Stephen Ball e a vertente analítica das comunidades epistêmicas. É argumentado que as políticas de currículo são produzidas em diferentes contextos, com o envolvimento de diferentes atores sociais. É defendido, ainda, com base na análise de diferentes documentos e das demandas, que possíveis discursos são constituídos em função da articulação de certas demandas tornadas equivalentes e que buscam hegemonizar determinados sentidos da/na política curricular da EJA. Apontamos ainda, a possibilidade de futuras investigações no campo das políticas de currículo em EJA. / This research analyzes projects in dispute for the production of curriculum policies in EJA (Youth and Adults Education). For that, this research analysis productions of two spaces where different texts that enunciate demands of several groups walk in, namely, the ENEJAs (Encontro Nacional de Educação de Jovens e Adultos) and the GT 18 of ANPEd (Associação Nacional de Pós-graduação e Pesquisa em Educação). In these, demands in dispute for the production of curriculum policy on EJA are identified and problematized, that articulated in the process of signification, tending to constitute an hegemonic discourse on the curriculum facing to EJA. It is highlighted, in the process that produce policy, the action of epistemic communities in different contexts on the tentative to influence and hegemonies certain senses around the production of curriculum policy on EJA. In this sense, the curriculum policy is understood as a discourse, which implies to board and problematize discourses that circle in different contexts like cross by knowledge-power relations. For such, we dialogue with the discourses theory proposed by Ernesto Laclau, the methodological approach of policy cycle by Stephen Ball and the analytical side of the epistemic communities. It is argued that the curriculum policies are produced in different contexts, with the involvement of different social actors. It is still defended, based on the analysis of different documents and demands, that possible discourses are constituted as a function of the joint of certain demands, turned equivalents, and that search to make hegemony certain directions of/in the curricular policy of EJA. We still appoint the possibility of future researches about the curriculum policy in EJA.

Situa-se no campo de pesquisa em Políticas Públicas voltadas para a formação do bacharel e do licenciado em Ciências Biológicas. Objetivou compreender os elementos que compõem as políticas curriculares voltadas para a formação do licenciado e do bacharel em Ciências Biológicas e, também, analisar as continuidades e rupturas do fluxo curricular do curso de graduação em Ciências Biológicas da UFU – objeto do estudo. A produção de dados empíricos foi desenvolvida via pesquisa qualitativa, utilizando pesquisa documental, em três instituições: UFU - nos processos administrativos de criação e alteração curricular; CFBIO - nas atas das reuniões; CNE/MEC – na documentação disponibilizada no sítio institucional ou obtida pelo e-SIC. Verificou-se que os autores curriculares – o CFBIO, o MEC e a IES, apresentaram-se, por vezes, imbricados, ora individualizados. Na IES, a condução das graduações é permeada de ressignificações. As propostas formativas demonstraram que nos espaços CNE/MEC e CFBIO operam forças que não se tornaram definitivamente vencedoras na edificação de seu projeto, de modo que ora são mais administradas por um ora por outro. A tese sustenta que não há políticas públicas para a formação do biólogo nas últimas décadas, no sentido de projetarem um modelo de ensino que seja vinculado à suas particularidades ou de avançarem para além de questões específicas e pontuais pautadas pelas comissões criadas pelo CNE/MEC e pelo CFBIO. / This study is linked to the 'Public Policy, School Organization and Teachers Training' line of research from the postgraduate course in Education offered by Universidade Estadual Paulista's Faculty of Science and Technology. It is set in the search field of Public Policies focused on the training of graduation and baccalaureate students in Biological Sciences. It's aimed to understand the elements that compose the curriculum policies focused in training both graduation and baccalaureate students in Biological Sciences and also analyze the continuities and ruptures of curriculum matrices of this undergraduate course at Federal University of Uberlândia. The production of empirical data was developed through qualitative documentary research using the records of creation and modification of the Biological Sciences's undergraduate course curriculum kept by the Federal Council of Biology. The curriculum authors - CFBIO, MEC and IES, presented themselves sometimes overlapping, other individualized, productions in the training policy of the above mentioned biologist. In the IES, in many respects, the combined conduct of graduations accompanied the greatest regulations. In other respects, this conduct left traces of curriculum development by proximal authors, illustrating the reinterpretation of training policies. The policy analysis supports the view that in CNE / MEC and CFBIO spaces, operate some forces that have not become definitely winning in the building project, sometimes run by the state, other representing organized civil society sectors. The thesis argues that there are no public policies for training biologist in recent decades in order to design an educational model that is linked to its particularities, or advance beyond the specific and pointed questions ruled by the committees created by CNE / MEC and by CFBIO.

Les ONG font partie intégrante du paysage médiatique, dans le cadre duquel elles cherchent souvent à se présenter comme les artisans d'une meilleure prise en compte des aspirations des populations. Mais qu'en est-il réellement, notamment au niveau international ? Pour répondre à cette question, nous nous sommes intéressés à la façon dont les ONG tentent de faire connaître leurs points de vue aux Organisations Intergouvernementales (OIG), et de les inciter à adopter des résolutions allant dans le sens de leurs convictions, pour les plus puissantes et les mieux introduites d'entre elles. Nous avons confronté les résultats obtenus en matière d'influence aux principes développés par les démocrates délibératifs qui voient en elles les instruments de l'idéal délibératif en raison de leur aptitude à communiquer et à travailler en réseaux. D'un point de vue méthodologique, nous nous sommes appuyés sur l'analyse des réseaux de politique publique afin de préciser les ONG qui s'appuient sur le même socle de principes et de convictions et qui travaillent ensemble de façon suffisamment régulière pour que l'on puisse parler de stratégie commune. Afin de compléter cette analyse, nous avons réalisé une trentaine d'entretiens semi-directifs et dépouillé 300 communiqués de presse. Pour chacune des Organisations que nous avons étudiées (OMC, OMS, OMPI), nous avons tenté de préciser dans quelles circonstances et dans quel contexte les ONG sont parvenues à exercer une influence qui s'est traduite par une institutionnalisation de leurs idées. Nous arrivons à la conclusion que les ONG influentes empruntent bien davantage aux groupes d'intérêt et à la conception pluraliste de la démocratie qu'aux idéaux délibératifs. Ce faisant, elles contribuent à améliorer la transparence des décisions internationales et parviennent dans certains cas à modifier l'agenda politique. A un niveau plus général, cette étude permet de revenir sur l'activité de plaidoyer des ONG internationales et de montrer à quel point les opportunités qui s'offrent à elles diffèrent d'un forum à l'autre. / NGOS are willing to present themselves as key actors whose involvement in the decision making process would ensure consideration of populations' expectations. We wondered if they pushed their ideas in international fora accordingly with the principles developed by deliberative democrats, some of whom present NGOs as the mainspring of deliberation at a large scale. To answer this question, we studied the way NGOs (at least the most powerful among them) push their ideas towards international organizations in order to influence their resolutions. Methodologically speaking, we focused on public policy network analysis to be able to identify a group of principle-based NGOs following a common strategy. To complete this analysis, we realized 30 semi-directive interviews and studied 300 press releases. For each of the three organizations we analysed (WTO, WHO, WIPO), we tried to specify the context and the circumstances in which NGOs' activities leaded to an institutionalization of their ideas. We concluded that influential NGOs behave more as interest group and pluralist democrats than as deliberative ones. They contribute to implement international decision making's transparency. In certain cases, they are also able to shape political agendas. At a more general level, this study points out INGOs' advocacy activities and shows the differences in IGOs'openess towards private actors.

L'étude de la formation d'une communauté épistémique québécoise en santé publique en ayant recours à l'interactionnisme-structural permet d'appréhender ce phénomène social sous l'angle d'une influence réciproque entre d'une part des acteurs sociaux interagissant entre-eux et d'autre part, des conceptualisations variées des objets de santé publique; ces éléments sociaux et sémantiques subissent des transformations simultanées. Notre étude démontre et illustre qu'au même moment où un réseau social de chercheurs prend forme, une thématique nouvelle prend place et rallie ces mêmes chercheurs, non pas seulement dans leurs relations sociales, mais dans les idées qu'ils manipulent lors de leur travail de production et de diffusion de connaissances; les identités sociales se lient, mais pas au hasard, parce qu'elles partagent des éléments sémantiques communs. C'est notamment en explorant 20 ans de collaborations scientifiques à l'aide d'outils d'analyse de réseaux, d'analyse en composantes discrètes et par l'exporation de treillis de Galois que cette étude a été menée. Notre approche est principalement exploratoire et une attention toute particulière est portée sur les aspects méthodologiques et théoriques du travail de recherche scientifique. / The study of the formation of an epistemic community in Quebec's public health by using structural interactionism allows to understand this social phenomenon in terms of an interaction between, on the one hand, social actors interacting together and, on the other hand, various conceptualizations of the objects of public health. These social and semantic elements undergo simultaneous transformations. Our study demonstrates that the formation of a network of researchers leads to the emergence of a new thematic at the center of interest of those researchers. Researchers are linked, not only in social networks term, but also at a conceptual level : social identities are linked, but not randomly, they are linked by semantics elements. It is by exploring 20 years of scientific collaboration by using tools from social networks analysis, discrete components analysis and the exploration of concept lattice in particular that this study was conducted. Our approach is more exploratory and a special attention is put on methodological aspects of scientific work.

This research was based on the production of dissertations and post-graduation theses entered in the database of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES in Portuguese), from the period between 1993 and 2010. There could be found 117 dissertations and 22 doctor theses, totaling 139 papers on the topic adult population living on the streets. Out of these, 27 studies (19.5%) came from the Social Service branch, produced in the period from 1993 to 2010, which were divided into 24 dissertations and three doctor theses. This set of works reveals the predominance of studies aiming to characterize this phenomenon and to give more visibility to the process of exclusion, as well as services offered to this population in the areas surveyed. This study reveals the concern of the authors to register the bonds between people created by this phenomenon, the changes in the labor force and the globalization process undergoing today. The most productions on this subject were done in universities, which can motivate a movement of exchange to generate an epistemic community on that subject / Essa dissertação procurou identificar iniciativas de investigação e produção de conhecimentos sobre a população adulta em situação de rua como indicação para constituição de uma comunidade epistêmica sobre a temática. Tomou-se por base a produção de teses e dissertações de Pós-Graduação inscritas no Banco de Dados da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES, no período de 1993 a 2010. Nele foram encontradas 117 dissertações de mestrado e 22 teses de doutorado, totalizando 139 trabalhos sobre o tema população adulta de rua. Destes, 27 trabalhos (19,5%) são da área de Serviço Social, produzidos no período de 1993 a 2010, sendo 24 dissertações de mestrado e três teses de doutorado. O conjunto das produções revela o predomínio de estudos voltados para a preocupação em caracterizar o fenômeno, dando visibilidade ao processo de exclusão, bem como os serviços oferecidos a essa população nos espaços pesquisados. O estudo revela a preocupação dos autores em registrar os vínculos do fenômeno, as mudanças ocorridas no mundo do trabalho e o processo de globalização vigente. Identificaram-se concentrações de produção sobre o tema em universidades, o que pode ser incentivo de movimentos de intercâmbio a gerar uma comunidade epistêmica sobre o tema

<p>This dissertation explores the potential contributions of the mechanisms for early warning and intelligence sharing to regional security in Africa. The Continental Early Warning System (CEWS) and the Committee on Intelligence and Security Services of Africa (CISSA) are centrally concerned with the dissemination of information to enable decision-making on continental security. The main focus of the dissertation is on the manner in which the information generated by the CEWS and CISSA can contribute to regional security. In order to analyse the potential contribution of the CEWS and CISSA to regional security, a sound theoretical framework is proposed so as to explore how and why states choose to cooperate, as well as addressing multifaceted cooperation and integration at inter-state, government department and nonstate levels. Constructivist interpretations of international cooperation are utilised to explore the role of ideas, meanings and understandings in shaping behaviour. The focus is placed on the manner in which interaction as provided for by the CEWS and CISSA can shape understandings of reality and potentially impact on the definition of actors&rsquo / interests. This is based on the assumption drawn from security community and epistemic community theory that, enabling the creation of shared meanings and shared knowledge there is the potential for both the CEWS and CISSA to have a positive influence on the choices that stakeholders take in favour of peaceful change.</p>

Dès les années 1970, à l’appui de travaux scientifiques et statistiques, un groupe de scientifiques de la NASA convainc les plus hautes autorités américaines des conséquences désastreuses de la prolifération des débris dans l’espace extra-atmosphérique. Déjà, ils mettent en garde contre les tests antisatellites, accélérateurs du phénomène. Ces chercheurs essaiment leurs croyances au-delà des frontières américaines, et au-delà de la communauté scientifique. Ils sont aidés en cela par la popularisation du thème plus global de développement durable. Le résultat est qu’aujourd’hui, presque n’importe quel citoyen est capable de discourir sur le problème des débris dans l’espace. Une communauté épistémique s’est formée autour de ce sujet rassemblant scientifiques, ingénieurs, militaires, diplomates, étudiants et citoyens. Les savants et les profanes. Fort de ce contexte, la nécessité d’une norme semble s’imposer afin de sécuriser les activités spatiales. Bien qu’existante depuis la conquête de l’espace de manière latente, cette norme n’a jamais fait l’objet de consensus entre les Etats permettant d’aboutir à un régime. Or, de 2007 à 2016 il devient l’objet de toutes les attentions mais aussi de toutes les divisions entre puissances spatiales, amenant même à créer de manière schématique deux camps opposés. Cette thèse interroge la supériorité américaine dans l’espace au 21ème siècle, le rôle des institutions supranationales dans leur capacité à réguler les relations entre Etats, mais aussi la place de ces derniers face aux acteurs non étatiques. Dans cette même idée, elle analyse le rôle, l’influence voire le pouvoir des communautés épistémiques sur les Etats et inversement. / From the seventies, a small group of scientific in NASA convinced American authorities of the dangerousness of orbital debris. At that time already, they warned against the antisatellite weapons tests which exacerbate the phenomenon. These researchers disseminated their knowledge beyond the American borders and beyond the scientific community. In their struggle of recognition, they are helped by the global awareness on sustainable development. As a result, today, almost no citizen in the world ignores the problem of debris in outer space. Thus, an epistemic community made of scientifics, engineers, servicemen, diplomats, academics, students, and citizen arose. Scholars and laymen all together. Thanks to that global awareness, the need for a standard seems to be necessary in order to regulate and secure the space activities. Although it has existed since the conquest of space in a latent way, this norm has never been the object of a consensus between the States allowing reaching a regime. However, from 2007 to 2016, States renew their interest for this norm. But because they don’t agree with each other, the debate creates schematically two opposing camps.This dissertation aims at questioning the American superiority in the 21st century, the role of the international organizations to mitigate the conflicts between States, but also the influence of the latter facing the non-States actors. Similarly, the dissertation tries to assess the role and the influence of the epistemic communities on States and conversely.
