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.

This interdisciplinary analysis of Scotland's perennial political hot potato – the Scottish land question – follows the latest legislative development, The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016. Bringing ...together leading academics and professional experts working in law, history and policy, Land Reform in Scotland delves into issues from the early modern period to present day. Individual chapters discuss some areas such as property theory and human rights which have been under-studied in relation to land reform.
In 2012, Cambodia—an epicenter of violent land grabbing—announced a bold new initiative to develop land redistribution efforts inside agribusiness concessions. Alice Beban's Unwritten Rule focuses on ...this land reform to understand the larger nature of democracy in Cambodia. Beban contends that the national land-titling program, the so-called leopard skin land reform, was first and foremost a political campaign orchestrated by the world's longest-serving prime minister, Hun Sen. The reform aimed to secure the loyalty of rural voters, produce modern farmers, and wrest control over land distribution from local officials. Through ambiguous legal directives and unwritten rules guiding the allocation of land, the government fostered uncertainty and fear within local communities. Unwritten Rule gives pause both to celebratory claims that land reform will enable land tenure security, and to critical claims that land reform will enmesh rural people more tightly in state bureaucracies and create a fiscally legible landscape. Instead, Beban argues that the extension of formal property rights strengthened the very patronage-based politics that Western development agencies hope to subvert.
Résumé La réalité actuelle des Nations en Afrique et dans le monde fait l’objet de plusieurs controverses autour de la mission principale de l’Organisation des Nations Unies. Cette réalité mal gérée ...depuis des décennies par l’ONU a occasionné des crises politiques, des conflits armés, des guerres et des inégalités des peuples du monde. L’idée de la Conférence de la Haye après la faillite de la Société des Nations avait comme but de mettre en place des outils permettant de résoudre pacifiquement les crises, d’éviter les guerres et d’établir des règlements pacifiques des conflits, mais surtout de consolider la paix et la sécurité dans le monde. Cette ultime mission semble être loin des préoccupations majeures de l’ONU dans la mesure où le Conseil de Sécurité avec ses cinq membres permanents ne permet pas aux nouveaux Etats et aux pays sous-développés de jouir pleinement de leur souveraineté face à ces problèmes. Il est donc nécessaire et urgent que les reformes du système onusien aient lieu afin d’assurer l’équilibre mondial. Abstract The actual reality of Nations in Africa and in the world is marked by many controversies about the main mission of the United Nations Organization. This reality has produced political crises, armed conflicts, wars and inequality among people around the word due to the bad administration of the UN since some decades. The idea of the Haye conference after the failure of the League of Nations aimed at establishing tools in order to resolve crises peaceably, to avoid wars and promote peaceful conflicts regulation but also to solidify world’s peace and security. This final mission seems to be far from the major preoccupations of the UN due to the fact that the Security Council with its five permanent members do not permit to the new States and poor counties to enjoy fully their sovereignty face to issues. So, it is very important and imperative that the reform of the United Nations System be carried out in order to insure global balance.
Jana Bacevic provides an innovative analysis of education policy-making in the processes of social transformation and post-conflict development in the Western Balkans. Based on case studies of ...educational reform in the former Yugoslavia - from the decade before its violent breakup to contemporary efforts in post-conflict reconstruction - From Class to Identity tells the story of the political processes and motivations underlying each reform. The book moves away from technical-rational or prescriptive approaches that dominate the literature on education policy-making during social transformation, and offers an example on how to include the social, political and cultural context in the understanding of policy reforms. It connects education policy at a particular time in a particular place with broader questions such as: What is the role of education in society? What kind of education is needed for a ‘good’ society? Who are the ‘targets’ of education policies (individuals/citizens, ethnic/religious/linguistic groups, societies)? Bacevic shows how different answers to these questions influence the contents and outcomes of policies.
Who controls the land and minerals in the former Bantustans of South Africa - chiefs, the state or landholders? Disputes are taking place around the ownership of resources, decisions about their ...exploitation and who should benefit. With respect to all of these issues, the courts have become increasingly important. The contributors to Land, Law and Chiefs in Rural South Africa capture some of these intense contestations over land, law and political authority, focussing on threats to the rights of ordinary people. History and customary law feature strongly in most disputes and succession to chieftaincy is also frequently disputed. Judges have to make decisions in a context where rival claimants to property or office assert their own versions of history and custom. The South African constitution recognises customary law and the courts are attempting to incorporate and develop this branch of jurisprudence as 'living customary law'. Lawyers, community leaders and academics are called on to assist in researching cases around restitution, land rights and customary law. The chapters in this collection discuss legal cases and policy directions that have evolved since 1994. Some chapters analyse the increasing power of chiefs in the South African rural areas, while others suggest that the courts are giving support to popular rights over land and supporting local democratic processes. Contributors record significant pushback from groups that reject traditional authority. These political tensions are a central theme of the collection and thus serve as vital case studies in furthering our understanding of rights and restitution in South Africa.

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.
