Cet ouvrage suit l'évolution et examine la gestion de la réforme
du système de santé du Nouveau-Brunswick lancée en 2008.
Le cadre théorique de la première partie propose un éclairage
inédit sur les ...dynamiques ayant pu moduler la réforme d'un système
public de santé. La partie suivante brosse un tableau de la
prestation des services et des soins de santé au Nouveau-Brunswick,
depuis l'après-Seconde Guerre mondiale jusqu'à maintenant, et en
tire des leçons utiles à l'élaboration et à la mise en œuvre de
réformes éventuelles dans d'autres provinces canadiennes. La
dernière partie présente un constat, à savoir qu'il importe pour
l'État de définir une finalité qui fasse consensus auprès des
principaux acteurs en interaction.
Les décideurs publics qui pensent entreprendre une réforme d'une
telle envergure, tout autant que les gestionnaires qui assurent la
mise en œuvre de plans de changement, trouveront en ce livre un
outil incontournable certain de susciter une réflexion nourrie.

Robert Schine’s intellectual biography of Max Wiener profiles a liberal German-Jewish thinker who turned toward Zionism as the only natural future for Judaism. Schine puts Wiener’s thought into ...conversation with those of his German contemporaries (both Jewish and Christian) while also resuscitating Wiener’s thought as a resource for contemporary theologians.
In most countries in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, the fall of communism opened up the possibility for individuals to acquire land. Based on Katherine Verdery's extensive fieldwork ...between 1990 and 2001, The Vanishing Hectare explores the importance of land and land ownership to the people of one Transylvanian community, Aurel Vlaicu. Verdery traces how collectivized land was transformed into private property, how land was valued, what the new owners were able to do with it, and what it signified to each of the different groups vying for land rights. Verdery tells this story about transforming socialist property forms in a global context, showing the fruitfulness of conceptualizing property as a political symbol, as a complex of social relations among people and things, and as a process of assigning value. This book is a window on rural life after socialism but it also provides a framework for assessing the neo-liberal economic policies that have prevailed elsewhere, such as in Latin America. Verdery shows how the trajectory of property after socialism was deeply conditioned by the forms property took in socialism itself; this is in contrast to the image of a tabula rasa that governed much thinking about post-socialist property reform.

In 1969, Juan Velasco Alvarado’s military government began an ambitious land reform program in Peru, transferring holdings from large estates to peasant cooperatives. Fifty years later this reform ...remains controversial: critics claim it unjustly expropriated land and ruined the Peruvian economy, while supporters emphasize its success in addressing rural inequality and exploitation. Moving beyond agricultural policy to offer a fresh perspective on the agrarian reform, Land without Masters shows how ideological assumptions and state interventions surrounding the reform transformed Peru’s political culture and social fabric. Drawing on fieldwork in three different regions, Anna Cant shows how the government adapted its discourse and interventions to the local context while using the reform as a platform for nation-building. This comparative approach reveals how local actors shaped the regional impact of the agrarian reform and highlights the new forms of agency that emerged, including that of marginalized peasants who helped forge a new social, cultural, and political landscape. Making novel use of both visual and cultural sources, this book is a fascinating look at how the agrarian reform process permanently altered the relationship between rural citizens and the national government—and how it continues to resonate in Peruvian politics today.
In Bahia, Brazil, the decades following emancipation saw the rise of reformers who sought to reshape the citizenry by educating Bahian women in methods for raising "better babies." The idealized ...Brazilian would be better equipped to contribute to the labor and organizational needs of a modern nation. Backed by many physicians, politicians, and intellectuals, the resulting welfare programs for mothers and children mirrored complex debates about Brazilian nationality. Examining the local and national contours of this movement, Progressive Mothers, Better Babies investigates families, medical institutions, state-building, and social stratification to trace the resulting policies, which gathered momentum in the aftermath of abolition (1888) and the declaration of the First Republic (1889), culminating during the administration of President Getúlio Vargas (1930–1945). Exploring the cultural discourses on race, gender, and poverty that permeated medical knowledge and the public health system for almost a century, Okezi T. Otovo draws on extensive archival research to reconstruct the implications for Bahia, where family patronage politics governed poor women's labor as the mothers who were the focus of medical interventions were often the nannies and nursemaids of society's wealthier families. The book reveals key transition points as the state of Bahia transformed from being a place where poor families could expect few social services to becoming the home of numerous programs targeting the poorest mothers and their children. Negotiating crucial questions of identity, this history sheds new light on larger debates about Brazil's past and future.
Under the guise of development, land is being commodified and
concentrated at the expense of the rural poor
In Southeast Asia reversals of earlier agrarian reforms have
rolled back ..."land-to-the-tiller" policies created in the wake of
Cold War-era revolutions. This trend, marked by increased land
concentration and the promotion of export-oriented agribusiness at
the expense of smallholder farmers, exposes the convergence of
capitalist relations and state agendas that expand territorial
control within and across national borders. Turning Land into
Capital examines the contradictions produced by superimposing
twenty-first-century neoliberal projects onto diverse landscapes
etched by decades of war and state socialism.
Chapters in the book explore geopolitics, legacies of
colonialism, ideologies of development, and strategies to achieve
land justice in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. The
resulting picture reveals the place-specific interactions of state
and market ideologies, regional geopolitics, and local elites in
concentrating control over land.
After the fall of the Porfirio Díaz regime, pueblo representatives sent hundreds of petitions to Pres. Francisco I. Madero, demanding that the executive branch of government assume the judiciary's ...control over their unresolved lawsuits against landowners, local bosses, and other villages. The Madero administration tried to use existing laws to settle land conflicts but always stopped short of invading judicial authority. In contrast, the two main agrarian reform programs undertaken in revolutionary Mexico-those implemented by Emiliano Zapata and Venustiano Carranza-subordinated the judiciary to the executive branch and thereby reshaped the postrevolutionary state with the support of villagers, who actively sided with one branch of government over another. In Matters of Justice Helga Baitenmann offers the first detailed account of the Zapatista and Carrancista agrarian reform programs as they were implemented in practice at the local level and then reconfigured in response to unanticipated inter- and intravillage conflicts. Ultimately, the Zapatista land reform, which sought to redistribute land throughout the country, remained an unfulfilled utopia. In contrast, Carrancista laws, intended to resolve quickly an urgent problem in a time of war, had lasting effects on the legal rights of millions of land beneficiaries and accidentally became the pillar of a program that redistributed about half the national territory.
