Haïti paraît inextricablement noué à l’aide internationale, dont les montants et les effectifs enflent à mesure des années. Le terrible séisme de 2010 a conforté, parfois décuplé, des tendances qui étaient déjà perceptibles auparavant. Les acteurs humanitaires y ont notamment connu un essor sans précédent, l’urgence semblant prendre le pas sur les visions de plus long terme. Cet ouvrage retrace l’histoire d’un bailleur de fonds intermédiaire en Haïti, l’Agence française de développement (AFD), de 1975 à nos jours. Il dévoile les ressorts du financement du développement, en prenant appui sur des archives internes et des témoignages. Il vise à interroger la po...
L'Observatoire français de la Coopération internationale (OFCI) a pris le relais de l'OPCF, en élargissant son champ d'observation. Si l'architecture du rapport annuel ne change pas fondamentalement, on notera l'apparition d'une sorte de " journal de l'année " de la coopération au développement. L'actualité a été riche dans ce domaine. Au plan national, elle a été marquée par les échéances électorales du printemps et par l'annonce de nouvelles orientations politiques en matière de coopération. Il nous a semblé intéressant d'illustrer quelques-unes de ces orientations : la promotion de la coopération décentralisée, l'inscription des objectifs de développement durable da...

The ease of transportation, the opening of international immigration policies, the growing refugee movements, and the increasing size of unauthorized immigrant populations suggest that immigration worldwide is a phenomenon of utmost importance to professionals who develop policies and programs for, or provide services to, immigrants.

It has far-reaching implications for a nation's economy, public policies, social and health services, and culture. The purpose of this volume, therefore, is to ex...
Increased global demand for land posits the need for well-designed country-level land policies to protect long-held rights, facilitate land access and address any constraints that land policy may pose for broader growth. While the implementation of land reforms can be a lengthy process, the need to swiftly identify key land policy challenges and devise responses that allow the monitoring of progress, in a way that minimizes conflicts and supports broader development goals, is clear. The Land Governance Assessment Framework (LGAF) makes a substantive contribution to the land sector by providing a quick and innovative tool to monitor land governance at the country level. The LGAF offers a comp...

In several parts of the world, countries are undergoing economic, social, and political transitions, enhanced and accelerated by the forces of globalization. These transition economies can serve as laboratories for understanding the innovation process. This volume features original theoretical and empirical research. It offers the first comprehensive view of innovation system development in the context of small catching-up economies. Smallness, path dependency, and latecomer status of such economies create some inherent limitations for their innovation systems, but these special characteristics can offer advantages as well. For example, smallness is often related with increased flexibility a...
