Dernier volet des Forces imaginantes du droit (cours professé au Collège de France durant six années), ce volume s'attache à l'examen d'une question : comment oser parler de communauté de droit à l'échelle d'une planète livrée aux affrontements, à la violence et à l'intolérance ? Et comment concevoir les contours d'une communauté de valeurs par-delà la diversité des cultures et l'opposition des intérêts ? Explorant d'une part les interdits fondateurs (crimes internationaux), d'autre part les droits fondamentaux (droits de l'homme et biens publics mondiaux), Mireille Delmas-Marty n'entend pas éradiquer les différences mais relativiser le relativisme. À la recherche d'une unité de sens, dans la perspective d'un humanisme nouveau, pluriel et ouvert, elle montre que le droit peut contribuer à nourrir l'idée de bien commun. Introduction.

With the rise of the 'knowledge for development' paradigm, expert advice has become a prime instrument of foreign aid. At the same time, it has been object of repeated criticism: the chronic failure of 'technical assistance' - a notion under which advice is commonly subsumed - has been documented in a host of studies. Nonetheless, international organisations continue to send advisors, promising to increase the 'effectiveness' of expert support if their technocratic recommendations are taken up. This book reveals fundamental problems of expert advice in the context of aid that concern issues of power and legitimacy rather than merely flaws of implementation. Based on empirical evidence from South Africa and Tanzania, the authors show that aid-related advisory processes are inevitably obstructed by colliding interests, political pressures and hierarchical relations that impede knowledge transfer and mutual learning. As a result, recipient governments find themselves caught in a perpetual cycle of dependency, continuously advised by experts who convey the shifting paradigms and agendas of their respective donor governments. For young democracies, the persistent presence of external actors is hazardous: ultimately, it poses a threat to the legitimacy of their governments if their policy-making becomes more responsive to foreign demands than to the preferences and needs of their citizens. -- Provided by publisher.
