Trying to understand this question in the Rio Grande do Norte it is necessary to consider the connection between the catholic church and the rural syndicates besides the influence of the Brazilian communist party, and still other social movements and the state. The structures politics local, national and international, had considerable importance to the organization rural potiguares workers. The rural potiguares syndicate appear in 1961 - after a hard organization work starting of the Service of Rural Assistance - and expand itself through state until the middle of 1962. Soon the first big conflicts an important manifestation are perceive, indirectly referring to a increasing movement's performance. The Favoring Progresses chains co quested a biggest influence in the politics destiny of the Rio Grande do Norte, in front of integration among syndicates, educational projects, and favoring progress's politics. But the military coup hired that the hope overflow the field / O presente trabalho procura abordar os movimentos dedicados ? reivindica??o por terra e direitos sociais para os trabalhadores do campo, no per?odo que vai de 1960 a 1964. No intuito de compreender esta problem?tica no Rio Grande do Norte, ? necess?rio considerar as liga??es entre a Igreja Cat?lica e os Sindicatos Rurais, bem como a atua??o do Partido Comunista Brasileiro e ainda outros movimentos sociais no estado. Os contextos pol?ticos local, nacional e internacional tiveram import?ncia consider?vel para a organiza??o dos trabalhadores rurais potiguares. Os Sindicatos Rurais Potiguares surgem no ano de 1961 ap?s um massivo trabalho de organiza??o a partir do Servi?o de Assist?ncia Rural e se expandem pelo Estado at? meados de 1962. Logo s?o observados os primeiros grandes conflitos e as importantes manifesta??es, aludindo a uma crescente representatividade do movimento. As correntes progressistas conquistavam maior influ?ncia nos destinos pol?ticos do Rio Grande do Norte, diante da integra??o entre Sindicatos, projetos educacionais e pol?ticos progressistas. Mas o golpe militar impediu que as esperan?as se transformassem em fatos

En América Latina, diversos partidos y organizaciones políticas de izquierda han experimentado, especialmente en las últimas décadas del siglo XX, procesos de adaptación exitosos a sus respec- tivos sistemas sociopolíticos. La adaptación se constituye como una característica indispensable para asegurar la supervivencia política frente a contextos en constante transformación, los cuales presentan diversos desafíos a las estructuras partidarias de la región. No obstante, una experiencia fallida de adaptación se ejemplifica en el caso de la Izquierda Unida peruana de la década de 1980. Para entender la caída de Izquierda Unida, este trabajo construye sobre la extensa literatura referida a la izquierda en el Perú, aproximándose al caso de estudio a partir de la exploración de variables relacionadas al sindicalismo y a los gobiernos locales. Asimismo, con el objetivo de relacionar procesos políticos en paralelo, se presenta una comparación con el Partido de Trabajadores brasileño.

Social inclusion by way of market is part of PT s political policies, which surveys have provisionally considered as moralization and/or domestication of capitalism, seeing that it strives to apply the money from speculation into productive activities that are capable of generating employment and income for workers. The moralization and/or domestication of capitalism is perceptible in the creation and management guidelines of the pension funds, which became consolidated as a great concern in the Federal Government s program, the three central unions of the country (especially CUT) and the labor unions, especially in the banking and electricity federations. The interaction among the syndicalists and former syndicalists in the Lula Government, businessmen from the pension funds sector and the Federal Government, bespeaks the complicity of interests and the convergence of the elite around the precise configuration of the pension funds. Thus, supported by the discourse of social responsibility, ethical investment, democratic management of the funds, protection of workers savings and the fight against capitalism, by means of their own instruments (domestication of capitalism), the Brazilian syndicalists have expanded accumulated legitimacy to the financial area in the workers scope. Therefore, their argument on management/protection of workers savings is justified as morally legitimate. Taking into account the aforementioned context, the present doctorate thesis set out to understand the social convention changes that the Brazilian syndicalism undergoes, the ambiguities and contradictions of such syndicate actions and the factual role and power our syndicates command. By the same token, it sought to comprehend the social inclusion policies by means of the market of the Lula Government. Lastly, it placed emphasis on the international ideas regarding the pension funds project, as well as the new institutionalizations created by the market s consolidation of pension funds in Brazil. The present work was theoretically influenced by Bourdieu, Mary Douglas, Marcel Mauss, Robert Castel, among renowned professionals of the Brazilian and international Social Sciences. Empirically, interviews were conducted with syndicalists, members of the Lula Government and those who oppose the pension funds project, in addition to observation participation in the events of this sector. Moreover, field work was carried out in central unions in France / Os projetos de inclusão social do primeiro Governo Lula passaram necessariamente pelo mercado: projeto microcrédito, Banco Popular do Brasil e especialmente fundos de pensão, são alguns exemplos. A inclusão social via mercado faz parte de uma política do PT que estamos denominando provisoriamente como moralização e/ou domesticação do capitalismo, já que busca aplicar o dinheiro oriundo da especulação em atividade produtiva, capaz de gerar emprego e renda para o trabalhador. A domesticação e/ou moralização do capitalismo fica evidente na política de criação e gestão de fundos de pensão, que se cristalizou enquanto tema de grande interesse na agenda do Governo Federal, das três centrais sindicais do país (sobretudo da CUT) e junto aos sindicatos, especialmente do setor bancário e eletricitário. A interação entre sindicalistas, ex-sindicalistas presentes no Governo Lula, empresários do setor de fundos de pensão e Governo Federal, coloca em evidência a cumplicidade de interesses e a convergência de elite , em torno da configuração precisa dos fundos de pensão. Nesse sentido, apoiados no discurso de responsabilidade social, investimento ético, gestão democrática dos fundos, proteção da poupança dos trabalhadores e na luta contra o capitalismo usando suas próprias armas (domesticação do capitalismo), os sindicalistas brasileiros têm ampliado para o espaço financeiro, a legitimidade acumulada no espaço trabalhista. Para tanto, argumentam ser moralmente legítimos na gestão/proteção da poupança dos trabalhadores. Considerando o contexto exposto acima, essa tese de doutoramento buscou compreender as mudanças de convenções sociais pelas quais passam o sindicalismo brasileiro, as ambiguidades e contradições dessa ação sindical e o real papel e poder do qual dispõem nossos sindicatos. Da mesma forma, buscou entender a política de inclusão social, via mercado do Governo Lula. Finalmente, buscou pontuar as inspirações internacionais para o projeto de fundos de pensão, e as novas institucionalidades criadas pela consolidação do mercado de fundos de pensão. Têm como inspiração teórica Bourdieu, Mary Douglas, Marcel Mauss, Robert Castel, dentre grandes nomes das Ciências Sociais do país e do exterior. Empiricamente, foram realizadas entrevistas com sindicalistas, membros do Governo Federal e opositores ao projeto de fundos de pensão, bem como observação participante em eventos do setor. Da mesma forma, foi realizada pesquisa de campo em centrais sindicais na França.

This dissertation reports on the findings of a study conducted in order to understand the impact of the attitudes and perceptions of some residents in Bloemfontein, towards rhino poaching and anti-rhino poaching initiatives in South Africa. Prominent theoretical models, such as the theory of reasoned action (TRA), the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), the decomposed theory of planned behaviour (DTPB), and the Rosenberg and Hovland Tripartite model of attitudes and perceptions, were used to help understand Bloemfontein residents’ attitudes and perceptions towards rhino poaching and anti-rhino poaching ini-tiatives in South Africa. Data was collected from residents in areas such as the Central University of Technology, the University of the Free State, the Waterfront Mall and the Mimosa Mall, respectively. A total of 252 usable responses were obtained, and the sta-tistical package for social sciences (SPSS) as well as a descriptive statistical instrument, were used to analyse the data. The findings of the study revealed that residents’ attitudes and perceptions to-wards rhino poaching and anti-rhino poaching initiatives contribute significantlytowards their intentions to act positively or negatively in curbing or reducing rhino poaching crime in South Africa. The research findings also showed that while there are differences in attitudes and perceptions between residents across different demographic groups, demographic factors alone are weak predictors of residents’ attitudes and perceptions towards rhino poaching. The study found that perceived trust, practical approaches, intentions to act and effective community involvement significantly contribute to residents’ positive attitudes and perceptions towards anti-rhino poaching initiatives in South Africa. The implications of other factors such as corruption, economic challenges, willingness of the authorities to act, and the heightened demand for rhino horn trade, have been discussed, and suggestions for future research are made. / Environmental Sciences / M.A. (Environmental Management)

Thème souvent oublié des réformes récentes de notre organisation territoriale, le droit patrimonial intercommunal n’est pourtant pas un non-sujet tant les enjeux l’entourant sont essentiels. Essentiels, d’une part, pour l’établissement public de coopération intercommunale et ses membres : exercice optimal des compétences et valorisation des biens sont les principaux défis que permet de relever le droit patrimonial intercommunal. Essentiels, d’autre part, pour l’État et le législateur : parvenir à un exercice cohérent des compétences tout en achevant et rationnalisant la carte intercommunale sans se préoccuper des impacts patrimoniaux paraît difficilement réalisable. Nous sommes donc convaincus que le droit patrimonial intercommunal doit devenir un véritable outil stratégique pour l’ensemble des acteurs de la coopération intercommunale. Si nous ajoutons à ces premières observations la circonstance que les règles composant ce que nous dénommons le droit patrimonial intercommunal ont peu changé depuis 1999 alors même que la coopération intercommunale et le contexte législatif dans lequel ses structures évoluent (l’entrée en vigueur du Code Général de la Propriété des Personnes Publiques en étant la parfaite illustration) ont connu de nombreux bouleversements, se pencher sur ce droit quelque peu particulier devient une nécessité. / Albeit oftentimes overlooked in French territorial organization reforms, inter-municipal property law is an essential topic with much at stake for various actors. Firstly, it is essential for inter-municipal cooperation syndicates and their members, for that it allows for the optimal exercise of competences and better use of goods. Secondly, it is essential for the state and the legislator: a coherent exercise of competences along with their rational distribution amongst local authorities can hardly go without considering impacts on property. Consequently, we are convinced that inter-municipal property law is a true strategical instrument for all the actors partaking in cooperation between towns. Additionally, if one considers that the rules that constitute what we call inter-municipal property law have not changed much since 1999, whilst the legal framework in which inter-municipal syndicates are placed has considerably evolved (the entry into force of the General Code for Public Legal Persons’ property being a perfect example), studying this somewhat peculiar field of law appears necessary.

Text in English / The purpose of this study was to establish the vulnerabilities of the security control measures that are being used at Impala Platinum mines and refinery to prevent the theft of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs). It is important to ensure that the security control measures in place are effective and efficient in preventing the occurrence of such theft. The research examined the security risk management approach to the prevention of theft of PGMs and the causes of theft of PGMs by organised crime syndicates operating in South Africa and abroad. The study found that Impala Platinum employees, in collusion with contractors and members of mine security services, are involved in the theft of PGMs. To achieve the goals and objective of the research study, effective security control measures were identified that will help Impala Platinum mines and refinery to overcome the risks and challenges related to the theft of PGMs. / Security Risk Management / M.
