L'enseignement de l'histoire face aux défis des technologies de l'information et de la communication (1999) Council of Europe/Conseil de l'Europe Les nouvelles technologies de l'information et de la communication mettent à la disposition des jeunes et des enseignants des outils et des ressources qui changent radicalement la classe d'histoire. Ces technologies fournissent aux jeunes l'occasion de faire une lecture transversale et plurielle de l'hitoire en ayant accès, comme les historiens, à des sources documentaires originales, à des interprétations transculturelles, à des évidences contradictoires et à des perspectives multiples. Les jeunes doivent alors apprendre à déterminer le degré de validité et de fiabilité des sources documentaires consultées, et à délaisser le caractère narratif de l'histoire pour s'orienter vers une histoire transversale et comparée. Le soutien pédagogique nécessaire à un tel apprentissage exige que les enseignants adoptent de nouveaux r(tm)les, qu'ils deviennent entre autres des guides et des médiateurs.

Crime in Nairobi: Results of a City wide Victim Survey; Safer Cities Series 2 UN HABITAT This publication is part of the Safer Nairobi project, funded by UNDP, which is working towards a city-wide crime prevention strategy. This survey is a diagnosis on both crime itself and insecurity surrounding crime in Nairobi. A fundamental requirement of a prevention-oriented approach to crime is the availability of extensive and reliable data and to this end the UN-HABITAT Victimisation Survey of Nairobi is the most comprehensive undertaken to date, being administered in two discrete phases between May and August 2001. Throughout the study over 10,500 ordinary residents of Nairobi contributed their effort by offering opinions and attitudes to a number of different issues concerning safety and crime.

Rights and Reality UN HABITAT Women’s equal rights to land, housing and property are recognized in international law and are translated into national law by an increasing number of governments. However, the implementation of these rights into reality on the ground remains an enormous challenge. This book examines the role that women’s organizations in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda have played in affecting recent law reforms, and provides a detailed analysis of national legislation and policies on land, housing and inheritance in these three countries. It also describes mechanisms used by civil society organizations and paralegal networks to help implement women’s equal rights at community level. A historical background of the region and an overview of international human rights instruments are included. The study concludes with specific recommendations, which could help translate women’s rights to reality. SALES #:   ISBN:  92-1-131663-4 PAGES:  195 PRICE:  $25.00

Sustainable Urbanization: Bridging the Green and Brown Agendas UN HABITAT The 21st century is going to witness the last stage of an inexorable and irreversible transformation of human society to a predominantly urbanized world. Together with the accelerating pace of globalization, the transformation is resulting in rapid changes in production and consumption and in the distribution of social and economic opportunities. This trend also suggests that the traditional divide between the “green” or environmental agenda, and the “brown” or urban agenda, is becoming irrelevant and that the quest for sustainable development is indeed the quest for more sustainable urbanization. This book examines a wide variety of initiatives and solutions that cities and their civil society partners are forging to meet this challenge.

Agricultural Biodiversity in Smallholder Farms of East Africa United Nations University The rich biodiversity of plants found in smallholder farms in Africa is a storehouse of food, fuel and fibre. Smallholder farmers are the guardians as well as the beneficiaries of a greater diversity of biological species than can be found in protected areas. The farmers' diverse practices are conserving these species for the benefit of future generations. In turn, agricultural biodiversity is a primary way for the poor to cope with difficult biophysical environments and precarious social and political circumstances. This book documents how the smallholder farmers of East Africa - in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda - are playing their part in the global agenda for the conservation, sustainable use and the equitable sharing of the benefits of biodiversity. The book shows the very real potential of learning from farmers and basing policy on tried and tested ways of managing complex agricultural systems.

Agrodiversity: Learning from Farmers Across the World United Nations University Through generations of innovation and experiment, smallholder farmers have nurtured a rich diversity of plants and animals, both wild and domesticated. Most academic literature emphasizes the accelerated loss of biodiversity, but this book describes how large numbers of smallholder farmers are conserving biodiversity in their farmland and surrounds. It is based on the fieldwork of the United Nations University Project on People, Land Management, and Environmental Change (PLEC), which has observed how farmers use their knowledge and skills to manage diversity and also to manage their resources conservatively and profitably. This book highlights their positive experiences in order to draw lessons in support of "agrodiverstity" as a development to policies for reversing loss of biodiversity, controlling land degradation, and improving small farmers' livelihoods.

Asia and Africa in the Global Economy United Nations University This book brings a crucial issue to the fore: how to manage the process of strategic integration into the global economy. It focuses on specific issues considered relevant to presenting the circumstances under which African nations were held back from active participation in global markets, while the Asian economies were fast expanding their participation. It systematically deciphers the different experiences in the two regions as they have interacted with an ever-changing global economy. It provides comprehensive coverage of policies and institutions, focusing on the key sectors of primary exports, resource processing for export, manufacturing, foreign direct investment, financial flows and official development assistance.

Beyond Violence Conflict Resolution Process in Northern Ireland United Nations University After almost 30 years of bloody conflict, the opposing parties in Northern Ireland eventually signed an agreement about how to share power, thus bringing to an end the conflict that had claimed so many lives and caused such human suffering. The author, Mari Fitzduff, was involved in many of these processes and was a close observer of the others. Drawing on her extensive experience, she outlines the many strategic developments that enabled agreement to be reached. She also examines the training and preparation necessary to increase people's capacity to undertake conflict resolution work, as well as addressing some of the lessons that have been learned about this kind of work, and how to successfully develop it.

Democracy, Governance, and Economic Performance: East and Southeast Asia United Nations University In a number of states of East and Southeast Asia, democratization occurred or was consolidated in the early 1990s but irrespective of the level of democratization, economic performance has been a primary source of political legitimacy. Yet the levels of development vary markedly. This study focuses particularly on the condition of parties and party systems and economic governance. It also presents a discussion on economic development versus political democracy. SALES #:   ISBN:  92-808-1039-1 PAGES:  390 PRICE:  CHF 63.00

Democracy in Latin America (Re) Constructing Political Society: Changing Nature of Democracy United Nations University Re)democratization in much of Latin America has had to confront a legacy of civil war or political repression, as well as the social dilemmas inherent in the integration of the region into the global market-based economy. This book examines democratic transition and consolidation in post-authoritarian and post-civil war Latin America. Its central premise is that the fundamental prerequisite of democracy is the existence of a policy of 'political society', something that has been weak or under threat. A range of issues are embraced: dealing with past abuses of human rights; integrating societies into global market economies; the role of civil society; the problems of achieving a sense of citizenship in many communities; the perennial 'ethnicity issue'; and the pervading gap between the procedure and the substance of democracy.

The Democratic Process and the Market: Challenges of the Transition United Nations University This volume forms part of the United Nations' study of the global democratic process and offers a specific contribution to the global dialogue on democracy in transition. Eminent specialists in the field, many from the countries under discussion, provide a regional perspective on the interrelation between political and economic change and delineate the unprecedented challenges recent developments have presented both to the states in transition and to the international community.

Democratization in the Middle East: Experiences, Struggles, Challenges United Nations University This publication addresses a number of key issues determining the success or failure of sustainable democratization in the region. With the exception of Israel in certain specific ways, the constituent states have yet to reach a level of democratization that would guarantee a path towards sustainable democracy and prevent a future return to non-democratic governance, and de-secularization and deliberalization of the economy and society. The study examines patterns of democratization; costs and benefits, barriers and support of democratization; the relationship between civil society and the state; internal and external factors of democratization; the relationship between Islam and Islamic movements and democratization; experiences of democratic transition processes and resulting national and regional peace dividends; and the interdependence of development, peace and democratization, and political and economic transition.

Earth Negotiations: Analyzing Thirty Years of Environmental Diplomacy United Nations University Global environmental problems pose important diplomatic and legal challenges to the international community. The nature of these problems requires an unprecedented degree of international cooperation both in terms of scientific research and the harmonization of regulations that is achieved through negotiation. Earth Negotiations presents a phased-process model that can enable greater understanding of the process by which international environmental agreements can be negotiated. Six discernible phases and five associated turning points within the process of multilateral environmental negotiation are identified and explained. The model is then used to examine relationships among the phases and turning points and between the processes and the outcome. The aim of this publication is to determine what lessons can be learned from past cases of multilateral environmental negotiation in order to help both practitioners and scholars strengthen the negotiating process and the quality of its results.

Enhancing Global Governance: Towards a New Diplomacy ? United Nations University This book examines the institutional bases and diplomatic practices that underpin global governance. "Order" implies stability in the midst of a constantly changing world. The security managers of international order and stability are usually the most powerful and the most wealthy, and they have the biggest voice even in the institutions of global governance. Yet the impetus and leadership for change sometimes comes from other actors and other sources. The book analyses the means by which global governance has been promoted by innovative diplomatic practices, especially issue-specific coalitions among like-minded countries and civil society organizations. The question of how these alternative leadership forms have been expressed through the United Nations system, together with an evaluation of their impact, is the theme binding together the individual contributions to this collection.

Ethics and International Affairs: Extent and Limits United Nations University This publication explores the extent and limits of contemporary international ethics and examines the ways in which the international community has responded to some of the most crucial challenges of the last ten years. At the center of the book is a discussion of how responsibility is viewed at individual, national and international levels when facing the pressing problems of human rights, humanitarian intervention, environmental issues, considerations of gender, international economic justice, matters of war and peace, and the plight of refugees. While some authors revisit the conception and interpretation of international ethics, others focus on the necessity to push for the better implementation and improvement of existing international norms. The result is an examination of how ethics are defined in today's specific contexts and how an understanding of it may be developed from the articulation of the dilemmas encountered.

From Civil Strife to Civil Society: Civil and Military Responsabilities in Disrupted States United Nations University The 1990s saw the United Nations, the militaries of key member states, and NGOs increasingly entangled in the complex affairs of disrupted states. Whether as deliverers of humanitarian assistance or as agents of political, social, and civic reconstruction, whether in Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo, or East Timor, these actors have had to learn ways of interacting with each other in order to optimize the benefits for the populations they seek to assist. Yet the challenges have proved daunting.

Human Development and the Environment: Challenges for the United Nations in the New Millennium United Nations University The new millennium sees humankind living in a vastly more complex, inter-linked, and mutually dependent world. There are increasing numbers of actors in world affairs today, as private and public non-state actors jostle alongside national governments in setting and implementing an ever more crowded agenda. This situation is presenting new challenges - in the fields of security, governance, development and environment - and will require innovative thinking and new forms of global governance. This book looks at the problems, processes and actors that constitute the milieu for human development and the environment. The contributions in this volume outline productive ways in which the international community and the UN system can address the major challenges of eradicating poverty and reducing the rate of environmental deterioration.

Human Rights and Comparative Foreign Policy United Nations University Human Rights and Comparative Foreign Policy examines the place of human rights in the foreign policies of a wide range of states during contemporary times. Leading experts from around the world analyze both liberal democratic and other foreign policies on human rights. The authors note the increasing attention given to human rights issues and at the same time argues that most states, including liberal democratic states that identify with human rights, are reluctant most of the time to elevate human rights concerns to a level equal to that of traditional security and economic concerns. Human Rights and Comparative Foreign Policy also looks at the extent to which states are oriented toward an international rather than national conception of rights; and the extent to which they are oriented toward international rather than national action to protect human rights.

International Waters in Southern Africa United Nations University Sharing of water resources among basin countries is a major topic of discussion for those responsible for managing international water systems. Planned water transfer schemes can result in dispute, both in environmental and security contexts. With a large disparity in the availability of water between the relatively wet northern part of the region and the drier south, Southern Africa is one of the world's most critical regions in terms of water management. In the region's new political setting all countries participate in discussions on an equal footing. This change may be interpreted as an opportunity for greater participation, or as the dangerous empowerment of self interest. The first transboundary transfer of water in the Southern African region occurred between Lesotho and South Africa. SALES #:   ISBN:  92-808-1077-4 PAGES:  320 PRICE:  CHF 39.50

Kosovo and the Challenge of Humanitarian Intervention: Selective Indignation, Collective Action, and International Citizenship United Nations University The Kosovo conflict has the potential to redraw the landscape of international politics, with significant ramifications for the UN, major powers, regional organizations, and the way in which we understand and interpret world politics.

This book offers interpretations of the Kosovo crisis from numerous perspectives: the conflict-parties, NATO allies, the immediate region surrounding the conflict, and further afield. Country perspectives are followed by scholarly analyses of the longer-term normative, operational, and structural consequences of the Kosovo crisis for world politics.

The Legitimacy of International Organizations United Nations University The end of the Cold War is only one in a series of events that have radically modified the operational environment of international organizations since their establishment. These changes include: decolonization; growing awareness of the global nature of many economic, environmental and public health problems; multiplication of non-governmental organizations; globalization of mass media and the market; rapid developments in the field of biotechnology; and the emergence of new information technologies, particularly the Internet. This publication takes a fresh look at the philosophy of international organizations and presents the results of an interdisciplinary research project of the Peace and Governance Programme of the United Nations University.

Power in Transition: The Peaceful Change of International Order United Nations University This publication helps fill a major gap in the literature on peaceful systemic change. It identifies past cases of peaceful transition and discusses which variables enable major power shifts to occur without war. It also draws lessons on how the international community can best manage the coming transition to multipolarity. The analysis presented focuses on three core issues: how contenders for primacy come to see one another as benign; how they negotiate a mutually acceptable international order; and how they legitimize that order. Power in Transition also reflects on whether the nature of systemic change is itself changing because of social learning and underlying shifts in the character of the international system. Case studies examined include the Concert of Europe, Anglo-American rapprochement at the end of the nineteenth century, and ASEAN. SALES #:   ISBN:  92-808-1059-6 PAGES:  192 PRICE:  48.50

The question of whether ownership can be attained when countries continue to be heavily dependent on external support is also addressed. SALES #:   ISBN:  92-808-1082-0 PAGES:  385 PRICE:  CHF 68.50

Regionalism, Multilateralism and Economic Integration: The Recent Experience United Nations University Have regional trade agreements led to a new form of economic cooperation by promoting deeper integration in the regulatory structures of participating countries? The answer has profound implications for the future of multilateral cooperation and international economic relations. Regional trade agreements have led to deeper integration in a number of fields, and recent agreements are generally more effective than the more remote WTO procedures in facilitating trade and improving transparency. There is no single model for deeper integration and each trade agreement is the result of attempts to achieve very different policy objectives. But Regionalism, Multilateralism, and Economic Integration finds that regional processes and rules have been consistent with the multilateral obligations of each party. WTO rules therefore constitute a floor that underpins additional commitments in the regional agreements. SALES #:   ISBN:  92-808-1083-9 PAGES:  382 PRICE:  CHF 68.50

The Role of the World Trade Organization in Global Governance United Nations University The World Trade Organization (WTO) is a major player in the field of global governance. Public interest groups are demanding a role in the WTO's processes and for the WTO to undertake major reforms. The central question of this publication is how policy makers should respond to the pressure now falling on the WTO system while ensuring the preservation of a trading system that has led to unprecedented growth in the world economy. A number of prominent personalities representing a broad spectrum of interests in the field of international policy-making, offer their views on the role of the WTO in global governance.

States, Markets, and Just Growth: Development in the Twenty-first Century United Nations University States, Markets, and Just Growth explores the common concerns of developing countries seeking just and fair growth, while also emphasizing special regional needs. This book reviews the pressing, shared imperatives of globalization, democracy, poverty, and inequality, and it anlayzes the records of different regions and countries in achieving just growth. How states should intervene in markets to facilitate growth and benign distributional patterns is an old and enduring issue. The fact that democracy, robust economic growth, and modest redistribution have rarely been accomplished simultaneously in the developing world gives such issues renewed vigour. Globalization of the economies and democratization of political power adds new dimensions to old struggles. This volume, then, aims at highlighting the proposition that well-organized states that systematically incorporate popular groups will remain important in the pursuit of just growth in the twenty-first century.

Trade, Environment and the Millennium: (2nd Edition) United Nations University In 1995, the WTO became the successor to GATT. While most trade officials and others who have a direct interest in multilateral trade policy consider this multilateral system to be a major contributor to the enormous growth of world trade and income over the past half century, the WTO is viewed with suspicion and even animosity by many environmentalists. The criticisms focus on many different aspects of the WTO. The principal issues in the trade and environment debate preoccupied negotiations at the close of the twentieth century. With the failure to launch a new round of WTO negotiations in Seattle in 2000, these fundamental issues returned to the agenda at the meeting of Trade Ministers in late 2001 in Qatar. This volume provides an overview of the key issues for negotiation as a result of the Qatar Ministerial Declaration launching a new round of multilateral negotiations.

United Nations Peacekeeping Operations: Ad Hoc Missions, Permanent Engagement United Nations University This volume explores the evolution of peacekeeping, particularly since the early 1990s. This period was characterized by much initial enthusiasm and hopes for a United Nations that would find a more agreeable international environment for effective and sustained operations to secure peace where it exists, and to provide peace where it did not. This publication reflects some of the thinking, some of the experiences in the UN and in the field, some of the frustrations, and some of the hopes of this past decade. It combines academic analysis, field experience, and reflection with forward-looking proposals (including the suggestions of, and responses to, the recent Brahimi Report) for more effective peace operations designed and deployed by the UN, in partnership with regional, subregional, and local actors.

United Nations-sponsored World Conferences: Focus on Impact and Follow-up United Nations University This publication fills a gap in the literature on UN Conferences, multilateralism, and global governance.

Water Management in Islam United Nations University In the Middle East and North Africa, water is rapidly becoming the key development issue. The region has one of the highest population growth rates in the world and scarce natural water supplies. This publication presents Islamic perspectives on a number of proposed water-management policies, including water demand management, wastewater reuse, and higher tariffs. Water Management in Islam opens avenues for a wider dialogue amongst researchers working at identifying the most promising water management policies. It also adds to our knowledge of some of the influences on formal policy and informal practice, and makes these ideals available to a broader public. It serves as a concrete example of the benefit of examining development in the context of values and culture and dispels common misconceptions about the Islamic view on water management practices such as selling water and wastewater reuse.

World Development Report 2004: Making Services Work for Poor People World Bank Too often, services fail poor people—in access, in quantity, in quality. But the fact that there are strong examples where services do work means governments and citizens can do better. How? By putting poor people at the center of service provision: by enabling them to monitor and discipline service providers, by amplifying their voice in policymaking, and by strengthening the incentives for providers to serve the poor. This World Development Report builds an analytical and practical framework for using resources, whether internal or external, more effectively by making services work for poor people. The 26th edition of this important title focuses on those services that have the most direct link with human development—education, health, water, sanitation and electricity.
