O estudo se desenvolveu através de uma análise qualitativa, valendo-se do apoio da pesquisa documental e bibliográfica para estabelecer as possíveis relações entre as orientações das Organizações Multilaterais em estudo e as determinações encontradas na legislação nacional e em outros documentos de planejamento voltados para Educação Infantil. Inicialmente o estudo discute questões relacionadas à história da infância e do atendimento educacional à criança no Brasil. Logo após situa as políticas públicas nacionais da Educação, e em especial da Educação Infantil como parte das demandas requeridas pelo movimento das transformações sociais, econômicas, políticas e culturais desejadas para o setor educacional dos países em desenvolvimento pelo novo ordenamento internacional e analisa a repercussão da Reforma do Estado brasileiro na elaboração de políticas educacionais. Discute ainda, sobre o surgimento da UNESCO e do UNICEF, e os incentivos propostos em acordos internacionalmente firmados a partir de iniciativas desses organismos para a elaboração de políticas educacionais nos diversos países em desenvolvimento e, principalmente, no Brasil, em especial para a Educação Infantil. Os resultados alcançados mostram que, no contexto do estudo, o incentivo e condução das ações dessas agências neste sentido tenderam a revelar a influência de tais orientações nas políticas para a referida etapa da educação, principalmente, no que concerne à ênfase dada à promoção da equidade de oportunidades e à construção de políticas focalizadas na pobreza. / ABSTRACT The purpose of this work was to study the correspondence between the concepts and guidelines from UNESCO (United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization) and the ones from UNICEF (United Nations Children'sFund) on Childhood Education and the principles and constant objectives in the public policies to Brazilian Childhood Education, started in the 90’s. The study was conducted through a qualitative analysis, supporting itself in documental and bibliographic research to establish the possible relations between the guidelines from the Multilateral Organizations analyzed and the determinations found in the national legislation and in other planning documents related to Childhood Education. First, this work focuses on issues related to the history of childhood and to the educational services to children in Brazil. It after concentrates on the national public policies of Education, particularly the Childhood Education policy as part of the required demands of the social, economic, political and cultural movement of transformations intended for the education sector of the developing countries by the new international order and analyzes the impact of Brazilian state Reform in elaboration of educational policies. It also focuses on the emergence of UNESCO and UNICEF, and the incentives announced in international agreements established to help the elaboration of educational policies in many developing countries and, especially, in Brazil, particularly to Childhood Education. The results show that, in the context of this work, the encouragement and the conduction of the actions by these agencies tended to reveal the influence of these policies inthe educational steps, mainly regarding the emphasis on promoting equal opportunities and creating policies focused on poverty.

UNESCO’s Biosphere Reserve model reflects a shift from segregating towards more integrating area protection. This is attempted to be achieved through combining environmental protection with sustainable development, acknowledging hereby also human interests. The model is conceptually appealing and gaining popularity, which is indicated by the growing number of reserves worldwide. However, to successfully implement the desired goals in practice is challenging and substantial evidence of the concept’s effects is scarce. The aim of this thesis is, therefore, to investigate on the basis of the Swedish Biosphere Reserves what actual effects they have on local development, with a special focus on tourism. This was accomplished through analysis of general development indicators and a negative binomial regression to investigate the effect of Biosphere Reserves on the number of guest nights in the municipalities. In addition, to determine if stakeholder perceptions and the obtained results coincide, a survey amongst stakeholders in the lodging sector of Kristianstad has been carried out. The results suggest that being a municipality with a Biosphere Reserve may have no effect on general development regarding the chosen key variables and no effect on tourism development in terms of guest nights. Regarding stakeholder perceptions in Kristianstad, the Biosphere Reserve did not seem to be perceived as such an important asset, rather the single tourist attractions located in the Biosphere Reserve area were of interest. Overall, the standpoint that Biosphere Reserves are an ideal concept for sustainable development has been challenged in regard to the studied aspects and an objective view in the future on the matter is advised.

Magister Bibliothecologiae - MBibl / The aim of this case study was to measure the compliance, or not, of the library services and resources of Wesfleur public library to the twenty-two principles of UNESCO Public Library Manifesto of 1994. The UNESCO Public Library Manifesto is a global guideline and framework for public libraries around the world to use and also to measure their library services and resources. The City of Cape Town has adopted this manifesto for all the public libraries in the Metropole. Wesfleur public library is one of these public libraries. Limited research has been done globally to measure library services and resources with the UNESCO Public Library Manifesto. No research has been done in South Africa, and or, the Western Cape to measure public library services with reference to the UNESCO principles. This study is a contribution towards filling this gap. / South Africa

In the late 1990s an attempt got underway to develop a new paradigm for cultural development policy at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). The fruit of these efforts was the adoption of the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, which entered into force in 2007. This binding international treaty has been welcomed for restoring a degree of cultural policy sovereignty to states against some of the pressures of contemporary globalisation, and celebrated for burying some of the political differences between North and South that had pulled UNESCO apart in the 1970s and 1980s. As an instrument with widespread political support the Convention on cultural diversity has also marked something of a landmark event in the more general controversies over the nature of contemporary cultural change and the role of cultural policy in the era of neoliberal globalisation. This thesis is a response to these developments over the last decade, based on a series of studies looking at the processes that led to the formation of the Convention and examining some of the effects of the new framework as they are becoming apparent in the first years following its adoption and entry into force. It looks in particular at the precise points of consensus between North and South that have been found in the new framework of cultural development, examining some of its measures and the way they are coming to feature - or not - in the work of international development agencies, policymakers and cultural industry stakeholders. These observations are developed through two main case studies looking at contemporary attempts at cultural policy reform in China and the Caribbean. The thesis also attempts to offer an alternative perspective to the legal and international relations analyses that have surrounded the Convention and its political controversies so far by approaching them within the framework of social and cultural theory, engaging in particular with recent claims about the transformation of culture into a 'resource' for trade and development in the new global economy. I argue that the new framework tends to conflate cultural rights and recognition with the right of the state to protect and promote activities that it deems worthy of recognition on cultural grounds: this has offered a welcome development to those that have come to have a privileged role to play in the contemporary concern to promote enterprise, production and trade in the knowledge-based economy of content and intellectual property creation, but it has also tended to weaken the position of others whose claims to cultural recognition are inseparable from demands which have little or no protagonism in this framework.
