This study investigated the role of different leadership styles within Iran and how such leadership changes influenced Iranian foreign policy. The study utilized event-data analysis of Iranian history and current events and discussed the role of realist and idealist to the development of Iran into the regional power it is today as well as how Western relations played a role in developing Iranian foreign policy, particularly with regard to its nuclear development. The main body of the study drew from the dynamics within Iran, its relations with the West, relations with Israel, and relations with other foreign powers. The event-data analysis also took into account the political and socioeconomic stability and conditions within Iran as it would readily influence the foreign policy-making within the nation. The first part of the study analyzed Iranian society under the Shah and the under the revolutionary guidance of the Ayatollah Khomeini; the second part analyzed the post-Khomeini period in Iran. In addition to reviewing the role of different revolutionary leadership styles within Iran, this study considers the role that Iranian-Western relations have played in Iranian policy-making. Further, this study considers the tumultuous role that nuclear development has had in Iran's foreign relations. Findings showed that there is a relationship between Western presence in the Middle East and growing aggression by Iranian leadership. Moreover, the study demonstrates that the role of revolutionary leadership styles is critical in accessing the manner in which foreign policy decisions are made. The study found that the role of Islam in Iranian politics has brought much contention but found that in the post-Khomeini years, it has not been the central reason for policy decisions. Recommendations were made for the continued study of the role of nuclear development in Iranian-Western relations as this study was able to find some evidence of it having some level of relevance. Additionally, recommendations were made that additional research be conducted with regard to the role of Islam in shaping Iranian foreign policy in the Post-Khomeini era.

This case study documents the experience of the Opportunities Industrialization Center of America (OICA) during the transition to and implementation of the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973 (CETA). It explores the potential of maintaining a community-based workforce development model for low-skilled urban populations in changing policy contexts that rupture existing frameworks linking people to work. Community-based organizations with unique service delivery models, including OICA, were given less direct funding and influence in workforce development provision and production under CETA. I explore to what extent the government and OICA promoted community-based leadership in planning and ideal implementation of workforce development for low-skilled populations in this milieu. I analyzed archival data documenting correspondence between OICA and government and within OICA from the enactment of CETA in 1973 through 1977. OICA was instrumental in adopting context-specific orientations towards government and other service providers to maintain a voice and to garner funding, and also had internal strife over how to expand and prioritize community input within CETA's regulations. More consistent funding and a sincere commitment to community representation in workforce development provision and production by both the state and organizations like OICA is essential to promoting ideal workforce development for spatially and economically isolated urban communities. Support for and implementation of rigorous internal evaluation, with participation of all stakeholders, would also improve processes and outcomes for an organization looking to both promote community empowerment and expand nationally.

This dissertation consists of three separate but interrelated studies examining the antecedents and consequences of sales and use tax (SUT) policy. The first study investigates whether elements of the SUT system influence elements of economic development, and tests whether SUT rates and/or bases influence state-aggregated levels of capital expenditures and employment within the manufacturing sector from 1983-2006. Results indicate that elements of the tax base (i.e., SUT exemptions) affect these indicators of economic development, but the same relationship was not seen for SUT rates. The second study examines individual taxpayer compliance across different tax settings (i.e., the state use tax compared to the federal income tax) and tests whether differences in detection mechanisms, social norms, or ignorance explain these differences in compliance. Based on a final sample of 148 taxpayers, results show that social norms had an important influence on tax compliance differences across tax settings. The third study investigates the antecedents of states' adoption of the Streamlined Sales & Use Tax Agreement (SSUTA) using both a cross-sectional empirical model and an in-depth qualitative case study of three states. Both the model and case study suggest that governmental interest groups, rather than businesses, play an important role in the adoption of inter-jurisdictional tax policy changes. Overall, the three studies within this dissertation all advance the SUT literature by using various theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches to demonstrate that governmental interest groups influence the adoption of SUT policy (antecedents), and that SUT provisions in turn influence business and individual decisions alike (consequences).

The aim of this thesis is to examine the term balanced collection in relation to Swedish laws and the democratic assignment. The Unesco Public Library Manifesto states that libraries are to formulate a policy defining objectives, priorities and services in relation to local community needs. The Swedish Libraries Act, paragraph 7, states that municipalities and counties shall adopt plans for library services. To fulfil our aim we will answer the following questions. By which terms is the democratic assignment visible in Swedish public libraries collection development policies? Is the term balanced collection used in Swedish public libraries collection development policies? If not, are there categories describing balanced collection? Do the terms in Swedish collection development policies differ to the six categories found by Farooq M. Ali in English-speaking literature? And if so, what does this difference suggest? The method used is a qualitative content analysis and we solely examine Swedish public libraries and their written collection development policies – we have not conducted any follow-up interviews. The six different categories found by Farooq M. Ali are analysed in correlation to our coding of the terms stated in the collection development policies of Swedish public libraries. Our survey shows that Ali’s six categories are not that common in Swedish public libraries collection development policies but that there are other categories and terms with the same significance. The most common categories are books, media, representation and the category not violence, pornography or racism. The two least common categories are weeding and demand.

History

This dissertation traces the cultural and intellectual history of Nicaragua from the heyday of modernization as ideology and practice in the 1960s, when U.S. planners and politicians identified Nicaragua as a test case for the Alliance for Progress, to the triumph of neoliberalism in the 1990s. The modernization paradigm, implemented through collusion between authoritarian dictatorship and the U.S. development apparatus, began to fragment following the earthquake that destroyed Managua in 1972. The ideas that constituted this paradigm were repurposed by actors in Nicaragua and used to challenge the dominant power of the U.S. government, and also to structure political competition within Nicaragua. Using interviews, new archival material, memoirs, novels, plays, and newspapers in the United States and Nicaragua, I trace the way political actors used ideas about development to make and unmake alliances within Nicaragua, bringing about first the Sandinista Revolution, then the Contra War, and finally the neoliberal government that took power in 1990. I argue that because of both a changing international intellectual climate and resistance on the part of the people of Nicaragua, new ideas about development emphasizing human rights, pluralism, entrepreneurialism, indigenous rights, and sustainable development came to supplant modernization theory. The piecemeal changes in development thinking after modernization corresponded not to a single catastrophic shift, but rather obeyed a catastrophic logic of democratic empire, in which U.S. and Nicaraguan politics were characterized by a dialogue about ideas of development but U.S. power remained the final determining factor. Though the new ideas did not replace modernization's former unifying power, they nonetheless constitute the contemporary paradigm of neoliberalism.

Political legitimacy is a fundamental problem in the modern state. According to Habermas (1973), current legitimation methods are losing the sufficiency needed to support political systems and decisions. In response, Habermas (1987) developed the theory of communicative action as a new method for establishing political legitimacy. The current study applies the communicative action theory to Kuwait’s current political transformation. This study addresses the nature of the foundation of Kuwait, the regional situation, the internal political context, and the current economic challenges. The specific political transformation examined in this study is a national development project known as Vision of 2035 supported by the Amir as the head of the state. The project aims to develop a third of Kuwait’s land and five islands as special economic zones (SEZ). The project requires new legislation that would fundamentally change the political and economic identity of the country. The study applies the communicative action theory in order to achieve a mutual understanding between different groups in Kuwait regarding the project’s features and the legislation required to achieve them.

The purpose of this thesis in Library and Information Science (LIS) is to examine how five Swedish university libraries work with collection management using a critical discourse analysis (CDA). University libraries hold large, valuable and often unique materials in the collections. Making decisions on what to preserve has for centuries been a task that libraries have been relied on to perform. The thesis aims to discuss how the university libraries through policy documents work with collection management and preservation of library materials and if there is a need of a national preservation policy. The method used in this thesis is Norman Faircloughs critical discourse analysis (CDA) with its three dimensional analytical framework that focuses on the text, the discourse practice and the social practice. The qualitative methods used are interviews and a textanalysis of policy documents. The result of the analysis revealed that the majority of the libraries lack substantial policies in collection management. The focus has instead been on a more user-oriented approach regarding access and acquisition of library materials. A central conclusion is that there is a need of a national collection policy regarding preservation of library collections.

Collection development in academic libraries is going through technology-driven changes relating to the new information technologies ,e.g. -Electronic databases, the Internet and CD-ROM's, joint published materials and audio-visual resources. Libraries are also facing declining budgets and spiralling costs. This research project looked closely at what collection development is and the impact it has on service rendering to undergraduates at the University of the Western Cape. It is also aimed at establishing if the librarians that formulate these policies understand what they (Collection Development Policies) are, and what they should entail.

The current research investigates pricing practices and consumer behavior in long-distance running events. Two studies address (1) current practices in pricing and registration policies for long-distance running events, and (2) factors that influence the decision-making process by which event organizers develop, adopt, and implement particular pricing policies. Study One involves a descriptive census of policies currently in use for a comprehensive list of running events in the United States that include races at the full or half marathon distance. Study Two adopts a multi-case study approach based on semi-structured interviews of running event organizers, supplemented by additional organizational documents, to investigate the pricing and registration policy development process. Collectively, these two studies examine the what, the why, and the how of pricing policy development in long-distance running events. Based on study findings, a conceptual model was developed incorporating major sources of influence (organizational, consumer, environmental, and event) on the pricing policy development process. This research contributes to sport management by providing deeper understanding of how participant sport, specifically long-distance running events, is priced and how pricing decisions influence consumer behaviors. Results additionally provide practical insight for running event organizers seeking to improve or enhance pricing policies and revenue management by understanding both common and atypical practices in use throughout the running event industry. Finally the current research lays a foundation for a stream of future research building on findings from two studies and data generated in the process of addressing the overarching research questions.

African American Studies
Ph.D.
This study examines how legislated policy, the New Jersey Amistad Bill, and the subsequently created Amistad Commission, shifted the mandated educational landscape in regard to the teaching of social studies in the state of New Jersey—by legislative edict and enforcement, within every class in the state. Through a century of debates, reforms, and legislations, there has been a demand to include the contributions, achievements, and perspectives of people of the African Diaspora that deconstruct the European narrative of history. It is my belief that the formation of an educational public policy that is reflective of the Afrocentric paradigm in its interpretation and operation, such as the Amistad law, with subsequent policy manifestations that result in curriculum development and legalized institutionalization in classrooms across the country is central to creating the curriculum that will neutralize mis-education and will help American students to obtain an understanding of African American agency and the development of our collective history. The Amistad Commission, created by legal mandate in the state of New Jersey in 2002, is groundbreaking because it is a legal decree in educational policymaking that codifies the full infusion and inclusion of African American historical content into New Jersey’s K-12 Social Studies curriculum and statewide Social Studies standards. This infusion, directed by the executive leadership team, is a statewide overhaul and redirection for Social Studies and the Humanities in all grades in every district throughout the state. The Commission’s choice of the Afrocentric theoretical construct—a cultural-intellectual framework that centers the African historical, social, economic, spiritual and political experience as pertains to any intellectual experience involving Africans and people of African descent—as its organizing ethos and central ideology was central in framing the resulting curriculum products and programmatic directives. This study’s conclusive premise in utilization of the Afrocentricity construct is evidenced in the Amistad curriculum’s Afrocentric tenets: de-marginalization of African historical contribution and agency; the importance of voice and first person narrative when transcribing history, and how shifting of —as in, correcting—the entire Eurocentric structure is important. Rather than an additive prescription of historical tokenisms, or a contributive prescription that does not allow for a centralized locality from within the culture, Afrocentricity allows for a cultural ideology when applicable to the Amistad law. Thus the use of Afrocentricity in the implementation of the Amistad law transforms the entire narrative of American history in the state of New Jersey, one of the original thirteen colonies. The study seeks to remedy the void of research as to how the incorporation of the particular theoretical framework of Afrocentricity impacted the decision guiding the policy directives, programmatic and the curriculum outcomes within the implementation of the New Jersey Amistad Commission mandate. The case study asserts that the Afrocentric theory was put into praxis when operationalizing the New Jersey Amistad law and the work of the Amistad Commission. It chronicles the history of similar mandates focused on the incorporation of African American history in American classrooms that led to the Amistad law. It also enumerates the Amistad law’s subsequent operationalization and curriculum development efforts elucidating practical application of the Afrocentric theory. It has direct implications for teacher education, practicing teachers, and policymakers interested in understanding how Afrocentricity and its tenets are paramount in curriculum development efforts, especially as it pertains to New Jersey, New York, and Illinois. These three states have passed legislations that have attempted to proactively remedy their educational policies. The disparities in knowledge and education about African diaspora people in our Social Studies classrooms are targeted by these states.

Urban Bioethics

Compared to other developed countries, the United States has healthcare spending that far outpaces other nations, but achieves below-average life expectancy. In urban cities, this disparity is most striking among predominantly black and Latino communities. There is increasing recognition that the reason for this is improper allocation of resources; we have a system that funds clinical services which contribute to only 20% of health outcomes, while providing inadequate support for social and environmental factors which account for 80% of the impact. When one considers the history of the United States, it becomes clear that such a system is not only inefficient, but also fundamentally unjust. African American patients have been used (often without consent) to obtain much of our current medical knowledge, but suffer most from healthcare disparities. Medical school is a fascinating lens from which to view this healthcare system, as students stand at the threshold between layperson and physician. Medical students, who predominantly come from backgrounds of privilege, benefit from access to institutions of medical knowledge. They often practice their fledgling skills on urban underserved patients who are disproportionately cared for in academic medical centers. Medical students also participate in service projects in the surrounding community, with common projects involving schools, churches, and free clinics. As a medical student, I spent nearly 100 hours with a class of ninth grade students at a Philadelphia public high school as I developed and implemented a health careers elective program. Through this experience, I gained a firsthand appreciation for the incredible barriers that prevent urban underserved students from equal representation in our medical schools and health care workforce. Here, I reflect on my experiences over the course of medical school, review relevant literature in the fields of ethics, medicine, education, and history, and present recommendations to move us closer to a just healthcare system by increasing investment in underserved communities and instilling in medical students a moral imperative to reduce health disparities, as well as the tools to do so effectively.

This work examines the country house libraries of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Hitherto this is an area largely overlooked both in terms of librarianship and social history. The first part of the thesis examines the historical development of book collections within country houses. In addition to pure historical bibliography it also examines the two essentials behind their development, the people and the houses. The work goes on to focus on the current situation within the United Kingdom. By means of a near comprehensive survey of extant collections, the current picture is identified in terms of the types of material, the collectors, the condition of material, the methods of preservation and, significantly, the willingness of owners to concede access. All of these issues are fundamental components in the study and have been investigated further in order to enable the attainment of the final objective, the creation of a national heritage policy for these collections. This final element focuses particularly on methods of preservation, the potential for funding and the question of access to collections. The policy relies on evidence acquired at the earlier stages of the research as well as that acquired during a second survey dealing predominantly with preservation, access and funding. This is coupled with the identification of current best practice within the library preservation field. Extensive use has been made of contact with owners and administrators of collections by means of the surveys, interviews, observational visits and correspondence. In addition, heritage organisations and structures within the United Kingdom have been analysed, with emphasis on those with direct impact on the country house. This research is fundamentally about two things: the historical development of collections and the approaches likely to ensure their survival.

The modern global agrifood system has had significant negative impacts on consumers and producers. This has precipitated the rise of local food systems that are purported to improve the health and livelihoods of consumers and producers. High expectations have led to significant public and private resources dedicated to the development of local food systems. Despite this, there has been little systematic research exploring the social and institutional conditions that facilitate or frustrate local food system development. Using a comparative case study approach, this study explored the ways local structural conditions, collective action, food system policies, and the political context affect the development of local food systems. Findings suggested truly robust local food system development requires either collective action or public policies and are more likely to exist and be successful depending on the political climate and the balance of power between land use interests in the community.

TARUHN, Rosane. Desenvolvimento cooperativo de coleções de revistas científicas na Rede Brasileira de Informação em Ciências da Saúde. São Paulo, 2007. Dissertação (Mestrado) - Escola de Comunicações e Artes. Universidade de São Paulo. A partir da observação das mudanças sociais no final de século XX, em grande parte decorrentes dos avanços da tecnologia, esta pesquisa apresenta um breve histórico do surgimento de livros e revistas científicas até os dias atuais. Descreve os processos do trabalho de desenvolvimento de coleções em bibliotecas, destacando a importância desses, assim como da formalização de política com a finalidade de tornar claros os valores considerados, de acordo com o perfil dos usuários. Inclui aspectos de ações em cooperação no desenvolvimento de coleções de revistas científicas e de programas de assinaturas e acesso a estas no Brasil. Objetivo: Analisar os processos de desenvolvimento de coleções de revistas científicas, nas bibliotecas cooperantes da Rede Brasileira de Informação em Ciências da Saúde, coordenada pela BIREME, e identificar rumos do desenvolvimento cooperativo dessas coleções diante das novas tecnologias. Método: Questionário estruturado e publicado na Web para ser respondido por 45 bibliotecas cooperantes do Catálogo Coletivo SeCS (Seriados em Ciências da Saúde) no Portal de Revistas da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). Resultados: Dos questionários enviados 60% foram respondidos. A tabulação das respostas permitiu verificar, principalmente, que 51,9% das bibliotecas respondentes possuem documento formalizado de Política de Desenvolvimento de Coleções, embora apenas 26% tenham pesquisado o perfil do usuário ou da comunidade. Afirmaram fazer parte de um programa cooperativo de aquisição de revistas 48,1%, onde se incluem os programas planificados de aquisição de universidades e outros. Dos respondentes, 88,8% afirmaram fazer parte do Programa Periódico CAPES e 70,8% dessas realizam aquisição adicional de revistas. A possibilidade futura de somar recursos de orçamento para aquisição cooperativa de revistas não se mostra possível para 66,6% Dos 27 respondentes, 96,3% afirmaram utilizar sempre o Portal de Revistas da BVS e o catálogo Coletivo SeCS. Em razão da recomendação existente em acordo da BIREME com representantes da Rede, para que se mantenha pelo menos uma coleção de cada um dos títulos constantes no Portal, a existência do título para decisão de nova assinatura é verificada por 55,6% dos respondentes. Para cancelamento de assinatura, 33,3% consultam o título e coleções e 66,7% não os consultam, o que permite avaliar que, sob o aspecto de desenvolvimento cooperativo de coleções, esses itens não estão sendo suficientemente observados. Sobre o formato das revistas, 44,4% declararam que os usuários preferem revistas eletrônicas; 33,3% não têm preferência; 14,8% preferem revistas impressas e 7,4% não sabem. A grande maioria (96,2%) considera que o Catálogo Coletivo SeCS continuará a existir, independentemente dos formatos das revistas. Conclusão: Para a Rede Brasileira Informação em Ciências da Saúde, coordenada pela BIREME e, mais especificamente para as bibliotecas cooperantes do Portal de Revistas da BVS, permanece o desafio de estreitar a colaboração de forma a divulgar amplamente os trabalhos realizados, modernizar o Catálogo Coletivo SeCS e promover ações que facilitem a sua comunicação e atuação, estimulando a formalização de diretrizes e treinamentos que possibilitem a adoção incondicional dos conceitos e propósitos dessa cooperação.
Starting with the observation of the social changes by the end of the 20th century - mostly due to the advances of technology - this research shows a brief track record of scientific books and journals to this day. It describes the processes of library collection development, highlighting their importance as well as the formalization of politics to make the values contemplated clear and according to the users\' profile. In addition it includes aspects of cooperation actions for the development of collections and subscription programs and access to these in Brazil. Objective: To analyze the collection development of scientific journals in the cooperating libraries of the Brazilian Network on Health Sciences Information coordinated by BIREME, and identify paths in these collections\' cooperative development vis-à-vis the new technologies. Method: A questionnaire structured and published on the Web to be responded by 45 cooperating libraries of the Serials Collective Catalog in Health Sciences in the Portal of Journals of the Virtual Health Library (VHL). Results: The responses corresponded to 60% of the questionnaires. The tabulation of the answers allowed mainly to verify that 51.9% of the responding libraries have a formalized Collection Development Policy document, although only 26% had studied the profile of the user or the community. Of these responding libraries 48.1%, declared being part of a cooperative program for the acquisition of journals. Here are included the planned University acquisition programs. Of the respondents, 88.8% declared taking part in the CAPES Periodicals Portal and 70.8% of these acquire additional journals. 66.6% don\'t see the possibility of adding budget resources for the cooperative acquisition of ournals in the future. Of the 27 respondents, 96.3% declared they always use the Portal of Journals and the Serials Collective Catalog. Because of the existing recommendation - in BIREME\'s agreement with the Network\'s representatives - to maintain at least one collection of each one of the titles in the Portal, 55.6% of the respondents check the existence of the title for the decision making of a new subscription. 33.3% consult the title and collections for the canceling of the subscription and 66.7% do not consult them. This allows assessing that from the collection cooperative development aspect these items are not being sufficiently observed. On the format of the journals, 44.4% declared that users prefer electronic journals; 33.3% have no preference; 14.8% prefer printed journals and 7.4% do not know. The great majority (96.2%) considers that the Serials Collective Catalog will continue existing irrespective of the journals\' formats. Conclusion: For the Brazilian Network for Health Sciences Information coordinated by BIREME, and more specifically for the cooperating libraries of the Portal of Journals in the VHL, remains the challenge of strengthening the collaboration so as to broadly publicize papers accomplished, update the Serials Collective Catalog and promote actions to facilitate its communication and operation, stimulating the formalization of guidelines and training that may enable the unconditional adoption of this cooperation\'s concepts and purposes

This thesis investigates in what way democracy affect climate change policy output. The aim of the study is to test the positive correlation between democracy and climate change policy output that Bättig and Bernauer (2009) found. A contribution is made in the form of a new database including 193 countries and a newly constructed climate change policy index. The method of regression analysis using ordinary least squares is utilized. The results confirm a significant and substantial positive relation between democracy and climate change policy output. Furthermore, the effect of civil liberties on climate change policy output seem to be stronger than the effect of political rights. The results underline the instrumental value of democracy for sustainable development. To protect and enforce democratic institutions in high emission countries is important to avoid interruption of social and economic development all over the world, due to the consequences of climate change. Additionally, the results speak in favour of democratization aid to avoid development of carbon dependent economies. Finally, they underline the importance of analysing the possible environmental impact of different kinds of aid. In sum the thesis shows that democracy can affect the likelihood of collective action and increase the provision of public goods in the form of ambitious climate change policies.

O presente estudo pretende avaliar o programa desenvolvido pelo Estado do Rio de Janeiro no âmbito das políticas públicas formuladas para o desenvolvimento sustentável e educação ambiental. O programa visa o recolhimento do óleo residual de fritura para ser utilizado como insumo na cadeia reversa de produção do biodiesel. O trabalho pretende fazer uma investigação a respeito dos pontos de sucesso e fracasso desta política. Ao longo do trabalho serão abordados todos os assuntos tangentes ao programa intitulado como Programa de Reaproveitamento do Óleo Comestível do Estado do Rio de Janeiro – PROVE. O assunto biodiesel é um ponto chave dentro do projeto piloto do programa e por isso receberá ampla atenção, bem como os assuntos tangentes a ele, os quais também são deduzidos pelo projeto, com a poluição atmosférica e a utilização da logística reversa como uma ferramenta no auxilio da preservação ambiental e de despoluição das reservas naturais. O programa também tem um forte eixo social, promovendo inclusão e geração de renda através da organização do trabalho realizado por cooperativas de catadores, com o desenvolvimento da coleta seletiva do óleo de cozinha, e os inserindo na cadeia produtiva da produção de biodiesel. Será exposto sobre o entendimento conceitual de políticas públicas, seu desenvolvimento, avaliação e sua relação e contribuição para com o desenvolvimento sustentável. Uma avaliação na forma de estudo de caso é proposta para o entendimento dos conceitos expostos, que servirão para auxiliar a avaliação desta política e se a mesma conseguiu alcançar os objetivos expostos em seu projeto piloto.
This study aims to evaluate the program developed by the State of Rio de Janeiro as part of the public policy that was formulated for sustainable development and environmental education. The program is aimed at the selective collection of waste frying oil to be used as input in the reverse supply chain of biodiesel. The paper intends to make a research about the points of success and failure of this policy. Throughout this work, will be covered all the tangents to the program titled Program Utilization of Edible Oil in the State of Rio de Janeiro issues - PROVE . Biodiesel is a key issue within the pilot project of the program and therefore receive ample attention, as well as the tangents to it matters, which are also deducted from the project, air pollution and the use of reverse logistics as a tool to aid environmental preservation and remediation of natural resources. The program also has a strong social axis, promoting inclusion and income generation through the organization of the work done by recycling cooperatives, with the development of selective collection of waste frying oil, and inserting them in the production chain of biodiesel production. Will be exposed the conceptual understanding of public policy, development, evaluation and its relation and contribution to sustainable development. A review in the form of case study is proposed for the understanding of the exposed concepts and serve to assist the review of this policy and whether it is achieving the goals set out in its pilot project.

Psychology
Ph.D.;
The present study was conducted to further our understanding of the correlates of and variations in perceptions of police treatment among African American adolescent offenders. Ethnic identity development can play a role in youths' sensitivity to stigma, but whether this finding applies to black youth involved in the juvenile justice system has not been explored. Although there is evidence for a robust association between perceptions of discrimination and negative psychological outcomes, there is a dearth of research that investigates a) the directional nature of these associations, and b) how associations vary as a function of perceptions of personal and group discrimination. Participants were 501 African American youth ages 14-18 who were adjudicated of a felony or serious misdemeanor in Philadelphia. Data were taken from annual interviews conducted over the course of four years. Increased ethnic identity exploration was related to the perception that police use biased behavior against people from different racial/ethnic backgrounds. Furthermore, there was a relatively stronger association between psychological distress and perceptions of police behavior among youth who reported taking an active role in making meaning of their ethnicity,. Finally, the results of this study support drawing a distinction between personal and global perceptions of discrimination, in that their links to psychological distress differed with respect to the direction of effects. Specifically, whereas negative personal encounters with the police lead to higher levels of distress, being distressed led to more negative global perceptions of the police. This study provides evidence that normative processes in adolescence, like ethnic identity development, operate much the same way among high risk youth (e.g., juvenile offenders) as in more normative samples. This is especially important given that the consideration of normative developmental processes in high-risk samples like juvenile offenders can have implications for rehabilitation efforts. Finally, the present research highlights the need for the education of law enforcement agencies regarding adolescent development and factors that might increase or decrease young people's willingness to comply with the law.

Esta dissertação objetiva analisar como ocorre o Desenvolvimento de Coleções nas bibliotecas da Universidade Federal da Bahia. Considera as vantagens de se utilizar a Política de Formação e Desenvolvimento de Coleções, já instituída e em processo de revisão, como instrumento essencial para o exercício das atividades de planejamento e gerencial das unidades de informação. O problema observado refere-se a que nas bibliotecas universitárias em estudo não há um comportamento uniforme na prática de desenvolvimento de coleções, levando-nos à hipótese de que não adotam a política existente. Na busca de responder a essas questões, estabeleceram-se ainda os objetivos específicos de caracterização e identificação do processo de DC, no âmbito teórico e prático das bibliotecas do SIBI/UFBA. A revisão de literatura trata do desenvolvimento de coleções, trazendo seus principais teóricos e tem como objetivo fundamentar a importância do processo e de mostrar a contribuição advinda de seus estudos e de sua aplicação. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva, com estudo de caso. O procedimento metodológico buscou, nos depoimentos coletados junto aos 22 gestores do SIBI/UFBA, atender ao objetivo proposto, utilizando como técnica de coleta de dados a entrevista e o questionário. Os resultados encontrados demonstram que ainda não existe uma padronização nos processos das atividades de Desenvolvimento de Coleções no âmbito do Sistema de Bibliotecas da Universidade Federal da Bahia.
ABSTRACT - This dissertation’s aims to analyze how the Collection’s Development occurs (happens) in libraries of the Federal University of Bahia, considers the advantages of using the Collection’s Development Formation Policy, already instituted and in process of revision, as essential instrument to realize activities of planning and management of the information unities.The observed problem refers to the facts that in the studied libraries there is no uniform behavior in the practice of Collection’s Development (CD), which leads us to the hypothesis that the existent policy is not being adopted. To answer these questions, we established the specific objectives of characterizing and identifying the process of CD in the theoretical and practical scope of the libraries of the SIBI/UFBA. The literature revision recovers the collection’s development addressing its most important theoretical, aiming to justify the importance of the process and to show the contribution that comes from its studies and its application. It is a descriptive research with a case study. The methodology attempted to achieve the proposed objective through testimonies collected from 22 SIBI/UFBA managers, using interview and questionnaire as the data collecting method. The found results show that yet doesn’t exist a patterning in the processes of Collection’s Development activities in the libraries’ system scope of the Federal University of Bahia.

The use of electronic technologies and digital information and communication is a fact, both within individual and collective, and also the educational, industrial and commercial, whether public or private. In general, the libraries and the universities indoors particularly, is not different, increasingly these organizations incorporate such technologies in developing its products and the performance of its services in order to better serve its users / customers internal and external. However, in our empirical observations we found that although these technologies are part of the daily life of these institutions, but we found few studies about evaluation and even less related to the use of reports by managers. That is why this research is part and has the following question: What is the contribution of the information produced by the system modules Pergamum for decision making of managers in the context of development policies of the collections of the library system of the UFC? In this sense, defined as main objective to investigate the contribution of information produced by the modules of the system management process in Pergamum library system of UFC with respect to decision making by managers of these libraries, the management process of policy criteria development of the acquis. The research makes use of the functionalist approach that seeks to explain aspects studied in terms of functions performed by the institutions and their consequences for the community involved. This is a case study, being the locus of the empirical research library system, Federal University of Ceará, whose universe consists of the managers of libraries that are part of this system are involved in collections development policy. After, we investigated all 17 libraries in the university sector and the data were collected through a questionnaire covering issues relating to the use of technology for the management of development policy of the collections. The study results confirm that, except for two managers, others use the information that the System Modules Pergamum offer to manage the system as a whole and particularly in respect of the Collection Development Policy. It also became clear that, like all dynamic tool, the system modules Pergamum demand improvement and constant improvements and upgrades to meet the needs of the institution, providing an increased participation of the university community, optimizing resources and enabling better procurement, distribution and use of the collection. It is considered that the proposed objectives were achieved as regards the contribution of Pergamum system for management of collection development policies of the Library System of the UFC.
O uso das tecnologias eletrônicas e digitais de informação e de comunicação é uma constatação, tanto no contexto individual, como coletivo e, igualmente das organizações educacionais, industriais e comerciais, sejam elas públicas ou particulares. No ambiente das bibliotecas de um modo geral e nas universitárias em particular, também não é diferente, cada vez mais essas organizações incorporam tais tecnologias na elaboração de seus produtos e na execução de seus serviços, visando atender melhor aos seus usuários/clientes internos e externos. Contudo, em nossas observações empíricas verificamos que, embora essas tecnologias façam parte do cotidiano dessas instituições, mesmo assim, encontramos pouquíssimos trabalhos abordando a sua avaliação e, menos ainda relacionadas ao uso de relatórios pelos gestores. É nesse sentido que esta pesquisa se insere e tem o seguinte questionamento: Qual é a contribuição das informações produzidas pelos Módulos do Sistema Pergamum para as tomadas de decisões dos gestores no âmbito das políticas de desenvolvimento de acervos do Sistema de Bibliotecas da UFC? Isto posto, definimos como objetivo geral investigar a contribuição das informações produzidas pelos Módulos do Sistema Pergamum no processo gerencial do sistema de biblioteca da UFC no que respeita a tomada de decisão por parte dos gestores dessas bibliotecas, quanto ao processo de gerenciamento dos critérios da política de desenvolvimento do acervo. A pesquisa utiliza-se do método funcionalista que busca explicar aspectos estudados em termos de funções realizadas pelas instituições e suas consequências para a comunidade envolvida. Trata-se de estudo de caso, sendo o lócus da pesquisa empírica o Sistema de Bibliotecas da Universidade Federal do Ceará, cujo universo é constituído pelos gestores das Bibliotecas que fazem parte desse sistema, que estão envolvidos com a política de desenvolvimento de acervos. Desse modo, foram investigadas todas as 17 bibliotecas setoriais dessa universidade, sendo que os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário contemplando questões relativas ao uso das tecnologias na gestão da política de desenvolvimento dos acervos. Os resultados do estudo confirmam que, com exceção de dois gestores, os demais utilizam as informações que os Módulos do Sistema Pergamum oferecem para o gerenciamento do sistema como um todo e, particularmente, no que diz respeito às Políticas de Desenvolvimento do Acervo. Também ficou evidente que, como toda ferramenta dinâmica, os Módulos do Sistema Pergamum demandam aperfeiçoamento e melhoramentos constantes e atualizações para atender às necessidades da instituição, propiciando uma participação cada vez maior da comunidade universitária, otimizando os recursos e possibilitando uma melhor aquisição, distribuição e utilização do acervo. Considera-se que os objetivos propostos foram 8 atingidos no que respeita à contribuição do Sistema Pergamum para o gerenciamento das Políticas de Desenvolvimento de Coleções do Sistema de Bibliotecas da UFC.

Le territoire est un dispositif socialement construit et non une entité transcendantale. La compréhension des phénomènes territoriaux passe par l'identification des mécanismes de cette construction. L'objet de cette thèse est de décrire ces processus de territorialisation, dans une approche comparative permettant de dégager la figure centrale du management territorial stratégique, configuration idéal-typique d'action collective qui apparaît quand des dispositifs juridiquement institués contrarient l'expression territoriale de dynamiques sociétales fortes.Le management territorial stratégique, dont l’émergence est étroitement corrélée à celle du développement durable, combine le territoire comme cadre de régulation, la mutualisation des savoirs comme principe cognitif, la coopération comme organisation opérationnelle et la gouvernance comme processus décisionnel. Dans ce contexte, l’invention du territoire met en jeu des dynamiques de projet mobilisant démarches transactionnelles et logiques conventionnelles
The territory is a socially constructed apparatus and not a transcendental entity. Understanding the territorial phenomena requires to identify the mechanisms of this construction. The purpose of this thesis is to describe these territorialization processes, in a comparative approach to uncover the central figure of strategic territorial management, an ideal-typical configuration of collective action that appears when mechanisms legally instituted impede the territorial expression of strong societal dynamics.Strategic territorial management, the emergence of which is closely correlated with that of sustainable development, combines the territory as a regulatory framework, knowledge sharing as a cognitive principle, cooperation as an operational organization and governance as a decision-making process. In this context, the creation of the territory involves project based dynamics on transactional approaches and conventional logics

Thèse réalisée dans le cadre d'une cotutelle entre l'Université de Montréal et l'Université de Lille
En Bolivie et au Pérou, les régions de production de coca, principales cibles des politiques de lutte contre les drogues depuis les années 1970, sont souvent considérées comme en proie à une certaine « faiblesse », « défaillance » ou « absence » de l’État, et « dominées » par le pouvoir de groupes s’adonnant à des activités criminelles. Menée à partir des cas du Tropique de Cochabamba (Bolivie) et de la Vallée des fleuves Apurímac, Ene et Mantaro (VRAEM, Pérou), premiers foyers de production nationaux d’une coca majoritairement destinée aux marchés illicites, cette recherche s’inscrit à rebours de ces analyses, en montrant que non seulement l’État est bien là, mais qu’il aussi est maintenu et saisi par les organisations rurales de défense de la coca. À partir d’une enquête ethnographique, cette thèse analyse par le bas et dans une perspective comparée les intrications entre économie illicite, mobilisations et États. Elle montre comment fédérations agricoles et syndicales s’appuient sur la coca pour construire des pratiques communales de gouvernement, des identités régionales et des cadrages suffisamment mobilisateurs pour obtenir des politiques de développement censées compenser le « narcotrafic » ou le « narcoterrorisme ». Les dirigeants des organisations sociales construisent leur leadership politique dans la lutte et se positionnent ensuite comme intermédiaires auprès de l’État. Occuper des fonctions administratives et électives leur permet alors de diriger davantage de ressources publiques vers leurs régions d’origine, de défendre la coca dans les institutions, voire de retracer les frontières entre activités légales et illégales. Culture de la coca et politiques de développement deviennent alors des ressources constitutives de l’économie morale des cultivateurs. Ces processus se donnent néanmoins à voir différemment. Au Tropique de Cochabamba, il s’agit d’une saisie corporatiste, propre aux liens forts qui unissent les syndicats de cultivateurs de coca, le MAS, parti au pouvoir jusqu’en 2019, et l’État bolivien. Cette modalité a permis aux syndicats d’obtenir des ressources publiques, des droits, de désigner ses intermédiaires en échange d’un soutien au parti et au gouvernement. Au VRAEM, le faible ancrage des partis politiques dans la société péruvienne laisse le champ libre aux dirigeants de la fédération agricole pour saisir l’État selon une logique entrepreneuriale, par laquelle ils font valoir des ressources propres et des relations pour la plupart extérieures à leur région d’origine. Le détour par ces régions éclaire les relations entre secteurs populaires et État et contribue à décloisonner l’étude des mouvements sociaux. La comparaison en miroir offre une palette d’outils pour appréhender « l’art de saisir l’État » à travers une sociologie des organisations, des syndicats et des partis politiques.
The coca growing regions of Bolivia and Peru have been a focal point of drug control policies in these two countries since the 1970s. These regions are often portrayed as being subject to a weak, failed or even absent state, and under the control of criminal groups. Focusing on the Tropic of Cochabamba (Bolivia) and VRAEM (Peru) regions, the main national hotbeds of coca mostly destined for illicit markets, this research challenges this idea by showing that not only is the State present, but that it is also maintained and seized by rural coca-producing organizations. Based on an ethnographic survey, I study from the ground and in a comparative perspective the interplay between the illicit economy, social movements and the State itself. I show how agricultural and trade union federations use coca to build communal government practices, regional identities and frameworks to mobilize and obtain development policies meant to compensate for "narcotrafficking" or "narcoterrorism". The leaders of social organizations build their political leadership from the struggle and then place themselves as intermediaries with the State. Occupying administrative and elective functions allows them to channel more public resources to their native regions, to defend coca in institutions, and even to redraw the boundaries between legal and illegal activities. As such, coca cultivation and development policies become resources that constitute the moral economy of the growers. However, the views behind these political processes differ from one region to the other. In the Tropic of Cochabamba, it is a corporatist seizing process, inherent to the strong ties between the coca growers' unions, the MAS party in power until 2019, and the Bolivian state. This has allowed the unions to obtain public resources, rights, and the appointment of its intermediaries in exchange for support to the party and the government. In the VRAEM, the weak anchoring of political parties in Peruvian society enables agricultural federation leaders to seize the state through an entrepreneurial logic. They assert their own resources and relations, mostly outside their home region. The detour through these regions sheds light on the relations between the informal popular sectors and the State and broadens the scope of the study of social movements. The comparison thus offers a range of tools to apprehend the "art of seizing the state" through a sociology of organizations, unions and political parties.
En Bolivia y en el Perú, las regiones productoras de coca, principales blancos de las políticas de lucha contra las drogas desde los años 70, suelen ser consideradas como zonas afectadas por la "debilidad", el "fracaso" o la "ausencia" del Estado y "dominadas" por el poder de los grupos criminales. Partiendo de los casos del Trópico de Cochabamba (Bolivia) y del VRAEM (Perú), principales focos nacionales de producción de una coca mayormente destinada a los mercados ilícitos, la presente investigación contrasta con esos análisis. Demuestro que no sólo está presente el Estado, sino que también está mantenido y tomado por las organizaciones rurales de defensa de la coca. Sobre la base de un estudio etnográfico, esta tesis analiza desde abajo y con una perspectiva comparativa las interrelaciones entre la economía ilícita, las movilizaciones y los Estados. Muestro como las federaciones agrícolas y sindicales usan la coca para construir prácticas comunales de gobierno, identidades regionales, marcos de acción colectiva para obtener políticas de desarrollo que supuestamente compensan al "narcotráfico" o al “narcoterrorismo". Los líderes de las organizaciones sociales construyen su liderazgo político en la lucha y se posicionan como intermediarios con el Estado. Al ocupar funciones administrativas y electivas, pueden dirigir más recursos públicos a sus regiones de origen, defender la coca en las instituciones e incluso trazar los límites entre las actividades legales e ilegales. De esta forma, el cultivo de la coca y las políticas de desarrollo se convierten en recursos que constituyen la economía moral de los agricultores. Sin embargo, estos procesos se ven de manera distinta. En el Trópico de Cochabamba, se trata de una apropiación del Estado corporativista, caracterizada por los fuertes lazos entre los sindicatos de cocaleros, el MAS, partido en el poder hasta 2019, y el Estado boliviano. Esta modalidad ha permitido a los sindicatos obtener recursos públicos, derechos y la designación de sus intermediarios a cambio de apoyo al partido y al gobierno. En el VRAEM, el escaso asentamiento de los partidos políticos en la sociedad peruana permite a los líderes de las federaciones agrícolas apropiarse del Estado a través de una lógica empresarial. Hacen valer sus propios recursos y relaciones, en su mayoría fuera de su región de origen. El camino por estas regiones aclara las relaciones entre los sectores populares y el Estado y contribuye a ampliar el estudio de los movimientos sociales. Así, la comparación ofrece una gama de herramientas para aprehender el "arte de apropiarse del Estado" a través de una sociología de organizaciones, sindicatos y partidos políticos.
