Abstract

Le mot de gouvernance revient désormais à tout propos, comme une espèce de brevet de compétence que les dirigeants qui l'utilisent à profusion se décernent à eux-mêmes, mais sans que « les gouvernés » que nous sommes ne comprennent en général de quoi ils parlent précisément. Cet ouvrage se propose d'éclairer « ce que gouvernance veut dire », sous ses multiples angles d'application et depuis divers lieux : l'Europe, le Mexique et l'Amérique du Nord. Le mot souvent ne fait guère que se substituer à celui de gouvernement, sans rien y ajouter, sinon une tonalité caressante inspirée par la mode. D'autres fois, pourtant, il possède des significations bien définies, mais malheureusement dispersées, applicables selon les cas à la conduite des entreprises, ou bien à la gestion des villes, ou encore au fonctionnement d'un système international en quête de procédures nouvelles. Cela sans oublier la « bonne gouvernance » exigée des pays pauvres par la Banque mondiale, de même que la gouvernance européenne qui est synonyme du mode de gouvernement post-étatique de l'Union européenne. Au constat de tous ces frémissements qui modifient l'art de mener les peuples, une question cruciale surgit finalement à l'esprit. La gouvernance n'est-elle qu'une simple méthode ou technique nouvelle de « management » de nos sociétés ? Ou bien ne faudrait-il pas y voir déjà le nom d'un régime politique en gestation, futur certes, mais proche, celui d'une après-démocratie qui s'insinuerait dans nos pays sans que nous y prenions encore garde ?

Abstract

Wide ranging and cross-disciplinary in its approach, Foreign Flowers focuses on the process of policy transfer in the Pacific and the use of power to achieve it. Many governing institutions in the region have been borrowed, transplanted, or imposed by colonial rule or military intervention from outside. The book attempts to answer several key questions: Where do the governing institutions originate and why are so many of them based on Western models? Why have some transfers succeeded while others have not? What are the effects of transfers? What has been the fate of a particular institution, "the state?" How does "culture" affect the transfer of (and resistance to) institutions? Early chapters identify institutional transfer as a persistent theme in the study of the Pacific, reflected in ideas like cargo cults, homegrown constitutions, invented traditions, and weak states. The author analyzes about forty cases of institutional transfer, beginning with Tonga's borrowing of foreign institutions in the nineteenth century and ending with current attempts to induce island states to regulate their offshore financial centers. He goes on to distinguish factors that determine whether transfer took place, including timing, social conditions, and sympathy with local values. He looks at the kinds of power and coercion being deployed in transfer and at how transfers have been evaluated by their sponsors: domestic reformers, aid donors, international financial institutions, and their consultants and academic advisers.

Abstract

Following the warm reception given to The Idea of Education, a volume of papers in this same Rodopi Series, a second conference around similar themes was held at Oxford University and this book is the result. This edited book provides the reader with a fairly representative, coherent and cohesive statement of the 2003 Oxford conference. Quoting the Chancellor of Paris University with regretting that "in the old days ... lectures were more frequent ... but now the time taken for lectures is being spent in meeting and discussions" our keynote Frank McMahon made the profound observation that some of the issues around education have been with us for a surprisingly long time. Notwithstanding the longevity of some questions concerning education, this book details and examines contemporary educational practice and theory and as such it is a very important work.
