Constitutional Approaches to Decentralization: Elements, Challenges and Implications: Fourth Women Constitution-Makers’ Dialogue, 2022
Whether decentralization, and particularly devolution and federalism, is advantageous or disadvantageous for women is a long-debated issue. The effectiveness of decentralization in promoting gender equality depends on how the system is designed, the quality of implementation planning and the adequacy of resources. Decentralization processes, nevertheless, are particularly fertile ground for enhanced and systematic women’s engagement, with numerous avenues for mobilization and advocacy throughout the long period of interpretation, implementation and enforcement, which can be harnessed by women to shape what decentralization will look like in practical terms. The Fourth Women Constitution-Makers’ Dialogue focused on decentralization from a technical and empirical perspective to support women constitution-makers engaged in constitution-building processes and constitutional implementation through knowledge transfer and comparative experience sharing.
Yemen
Yemen is a country that is critical to U.S. security and our political interests, yet most Americans know virtually nothing about it. This book unlocks its secrets and explains its complexities in simple yet compelling language. A nation with a rich civilization that has spanned 3,000 years, Yemen is the only democratic republic in the Arabian Peninsula. While events in modern-day Yemen are often in international news, most Americans know nothing about this country—nor are there easy-to-read, up-to-date resources for lay audiences. This book fills the gap in the literature. It describes Yemen's geography, economy, politics and government, history, culture, society and contemporary events, ...
Mirrored Loss
Mirrored Loss tells the story of Amat al-Latif al Wazir, only daughter of 'Abdullah al-Wazir, the leader of Yemen's constitutional movement of the mid-twentieth century for democratisation of the autocratic imamate. Her relationship with her adored father, who was accused of treason, takes centre stage in this biographical narrative. Amat al-Latif, enjoyed a privileged childhood in a high-ranking family at the heart of Yemeni politics; yet the failed revolt of 1948 was the family's downfall, leaving her and other close relatives exposed to social indignities and privation. She then spent many years in exile, where she suffered a personal calamity that compounded the earlier catastrophe. Through one family's story, Gabriele vom Bruck explores how violence translates into tragedy in the personal realm, and how individual lives and larger cultural and political worlds intersect in Yemen. Her narrative makes these tragic events compellingly tangible, especially at the level of gendered subjectivity--female Yemenis have been either unknown to or deemed insignificant by most male historians of this period. Mirrored Loss is a significant step in righting that omission.
Le développement, une affaire d'ONG ? Associations, Etats et bailleurs dans le monde arabe
La plupart des régimes arabes subissent aujourd'hui une pression extrême de leur population. Leur autoritarisme est mis en cause, mais également leur capacité à produire du développement et du bien-être collectif, alors que le chômage, l'insécurité sociale et la pauvreté fragilisent leurs sociétés. Comment les associations de développement, qui se sont multipliées ces dernières années, participent-elles à la nouvelle donne créée par le "printemps arabe" de 2011 ? Les auteurs de cet ouvrage cherchent à comprendre les dynamiques qui ont amené des associations très diverses à s'investir de missions qui, pendant plusieurs décennies, avaient incombé aux Etats. Quels sont...

Le Yémen
Le Yémen a longtemps fasciné bien des voyageurs, parfois illustres, d’Ibn Battuta à Arthur Rimbaud et André Malraux. Il apparaît comme l’incarnation d’une authenticité tant arabe que musulmane. Toutefois, bien que pris dans les soubresauts de l’histoire mondiale (colonisation, guerre froide et terrorisme) et occupant une place stratégique à la croisée des continents, il reste mal connu et perçu comme marginal et passif. Patrie d’origine de la famille Ben Laden, lieu où l’attentat contre Charlie Hebdo a été commandité, le Yémen a émergé en tant que menace à la sécurité internationale dans le contexte de la guerre mondiale contre le terrorisme et a vu son image ...
