Abstract:
Résultat d’un accord de coopération intergouvernemental passé entre les ministres de l’enseignement de quatre pays réunis à la Sorbonne en 1998, le processus de Bologne n’est pas resté longtemps sous le contrôle des seuls États. En 2001, les ministres ont créé un groupe de suivi composé des représentants des pays membres du processus et de la Commission européenne, de l’EUA (association des universités européennes), de l’EURASHE (association européenne des établissements d’enseignement supérieur), de l’ESIB (union des associations étudiantes nationales) et du Conseil de l’Europe, ces quatre derniers bénéficiant d’un statut temporaire et de membre consultatif. Depuis 2001, la Commission européenne joue un rôle central dans le processus de Bologne, à côté d’organisations d’acteurs qui se voient forcées de discuter de sujets qui les ont précédemment divisés et qui modifient leurs relations au niveau national. Depuis 2005, la Commission a le droit de voter dans un processus d’européanisation lancé dans un domaine qui reste de compétence nationale. Elle a ainsi pu orienter la réforme des universités, veut définir la bonne institution, la bonne science et le bon enseignement. Cette thèse s’intéresse au mécanisme de prise de décision du processus de Bologne. Elle analyse les réseaux qui constituent le nouvel espace sociopolitique dans l’enseignement supérieur, les tactiques développées par ses acteurs. Elle retrace les actions qui ont été déployées par la Commission européenne pour pouvoir intégrer le processus de Bologne et contrôler les politiques du supérieur. Cette thèse prend ses supports théoriques dans les travaux de Foucault (et ses concepts de dispositif, de gouvernementalité, de rapport pouvoir/savoir, de régime de vérité) et dans la théorie de l’acteur-réseau de Callon et Latour (avec les concepts du processus de traduction). Les supports théoriques secondaires proviennent des travaux de Boltanski et Thévenot, de Kingdon, de l’institutionnalisme. L’argument de cette thèse est qu’en 1998, le ministre français Claude Allègre (initiateur du processus) a activé un "dispositif européen de l’enseignement supérieur", qui a été progressivement orienté par la Commission européenne. Avec les concepts de la sociologie de la traduction, ce travail décrit les différentes étapes qui ont permis à la Commission de devenir le "macroacteur" ou l’"acteur-réseau" du processus de Bologne
As the result of an intergovernmental agreement of cooperation between the ministers of higher education of four states at the Sorbonne in 1998, the Bologna process was initially steered by the representatives of the states. Its initiator, the French minister Claude Allègre, had explicitly excluded the European Commission from the exclusive club of the initiators of the process. The Bologna process to create a "European Higher Education Area" did not remain for long under the control of the states alone. In 2001, at the summit of Prague, the ministers created a follow-up group composed by the representatives of the states and the European Commission, to which was added the EUA (European University Association), the EURASHE (European Association of Institutions of Higher Education), the ESIB (National Unions of Students in Europe) and the Council of Europe. Since 2001, the European Commission plays a central role in the Bologna process, alongside actor’s organizations who see themselves forced to discuss issues that had previously divided them and to modify their relationships at a national level. Since 2005, the Commission has the right to vote in the follow-up group of the Bologna process, in a Europeanization process in a field of national competence. The Commission has oriented the reform of the university, would like to define the good institution (with European Institute of Technology as model) and the good science (with the European Research Council). The Commission promotes its "knowledge triangle" composed by education, research and innovation. This thesis focuses on the decision making mechanism of the Bologna process. It analyses the networks that constitute the new sociopolitical area in higher education, the strategies and the tactics developed by its actors. Moreover, this thesis analyzes the actions of the European Commission to integrate the Bologna process and to control higher education policies. This thesis takes its theoretical support on Foucault’s work (especially concept of device, governmentality, knowledge/power report, regime of truth) and on the Actor-network theory from Callon and Latour (with some of the concept of translation process). Some second theoretical support comes from the work of Boltanski and Thevenot, Kingdon (with policy entrepreneurs), the institutionalism (with Morpey and Huisman). The argument of this thesis is that Allègre has activated a "European device of higher education" in 1998, a device progressively oriented by the European Commission. With the concept of translation sociology, this work describes the different stage traversed by the European Commission to become the "macroactor" or the "actor-network" of the Bologna process

Abstract:
L’usage de la résolution européenne a débuté en 1992, quand un nouvel article, le 88-4, a été introduit dans la Constitution, donnant pour la première fois à l’Assemblée nationale et au Sénat le droit de voter des résolutions sur des projets et propositions d’actes communautaires soumis par le Gouvernement. Le but de cet avantage en faveur du Parlement était de mettre en vigueur un contrôle parlementaire sur la politique européenne du Gouvernement. Au cours des années, la pratique de la résolution européenne montre l’inefficacité du rôle du Parlement au niveau européen. La portée de la résolution européenne demeure en soi non contraignante vis-à-vis du Gouvernement et des institutions européennes. Les cinq révisions constitutionnelles concernant les affaires européennes depuis 1992 ne peuvent pas y contribuer, malgré la dernière révision du 23 juillet 2008 reconnaissant le droit d’adoption d’une résolution européenne sur non seulement les projets ou propositions d’actes européens soumis par le Gouvernement, mais aussi sur « tout document émanant d’une institution de l’Union ». Le temps est venu pour le Parlement de mettre en place un contrôle parlementaire efficace au niveau européen
The use of the European resolution started in 1992, when a new article, 88-4, was introduced in the Constitution, giving for the first time in the National Assembly and the Senate the right to vote on resolutions on projects and proposals for Community acts submitted by the Government. The purpose of this advantage in favor of the Parliament was put in force a parliamentary control over the Government's European policy. Over the years, the practice of the European resolution demonstrates the ineffectiveness of the role of the Parliament at European level. The scope of the European resolution remains inherently non-binding towards the Government and the European institutions. Five constitutional revisions concerning European Affairs since 1992 cannot contribute, despite the latest revision of July 23, 2008, recognizing the right to adoption of a European resolution on not only the projects or proposals of European acts submitted by the Government, but on ' any document emanating from an institution of the Union ' also. The time has come for Parliament to put in place an effective parliamentary control at European level

A Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM) é a entidade estatal que regula o mercado de valores mobiliários brasileiro (MVM). Tal função abrange uma ampla gama de ações, dentre as quais a edição e a promoção do cumprimento de normas incidentes sobre as atividades econômicas desenvolvidas no MVM, a apuração das infrações a essas normas e a aplicação de penalidades ao final do curso de processos administrativos. Algumas dessas infrações administrativas também configuram crimes na legislação brasileira. Trata-se de ofertas irregulares de investimentos ao público em geral, usos de informação privilegiada, modalidades de fraude ou manipulação de preços, sempre envolvendo a emissão e a negociação de valores mobiliários. Não raro, a definição da autoria dessas infrações, que de tão graves configuram crimes, depende da análise de dados relacionados à movimentação financeira de pessoas, físicas ou jurídicas, investigadas pela CVM. A possibilidade de acesso a dados dessa natureza foi examinada pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) à luz do disposto no inciso XII do artigo quinto da Constituição Brasileira, dispositivo que consagra o sigilo de dados, mas também prevê o seu afastamento, desde que por ordem judicial, nas hipóteses e na forma que a lei estabelecer para fins de investigação criminal ou instrução processual penal. Ao debruçar-se sobre essa realidade, a presente dissertação procura verificar se o afastamento ou a inaplicabilidade do sigilo que protege a movimentação financeira das pessoas, a chamada quebra de sigilo bancário, quando destinada a espancar dúvidas sobre a autoria de infrações graves investigadas pela CVM, é juridicamente sustentável. Com esse intuito, esboça uma interpretação da Constituição Brasileira inspirada em princípios constitucionais universais e na moderna doutrina do direito civil constitucional europeu.
The Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) is the entity responsible to Securities market s regulation. For this function is needed a wide range actions, such as the edition and promotion the compliance with rules about the economic activities carried out in the securities market, investigation of violations of these rules as well the application of penalties in the ending of an administrative proceeding. Some of these administrative violations should also be characterized as a crime into the Brazilian Law. It is irregular investments offering for the general public, use of inside information and types of fraud or price manipulation, always in issuing and trading securities. It is not uncommon to the definition of authorship, so serious that configures such a crime, to depend of data collection and analysis regarding financial activities from individuals or entities submitted to a CVM investigation. The possibility to collect data regarding financial activities had been submitted to the Brazilian Supreme Court of Justice (STF) in the light of article fith, item XII, of the Brazilian Federal Constitution, that establishes the Data Secrecy protection, but also provides its deviation, however by court order, in hypothesis and under the rules established for the criminal investigation or criminal proceeding s instructions. When looking at this reality, the present thesis intends to verify if the inapplicability of the secrecy that protects the financial activities from individuals or entities, called breach of banking secrecy, when intended to repel doubts about the authorship of serious offenses that are being investigated by CVM, is legally sustainable. Thus, it delineates an interpretation of the Brazilian Federal Constitution equally inspired in constitutional law universal principles and by the modern civil constitutional law european doctrine.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In recognition of the socio-economic imbalances inherited from the past and the abject poverty experienced by many, the people of South Africa adopted a Constitution fully committed to protecting socio-economic rights and advancing social justice. Apartheid constituted a violation of every internationally recognised human right. Seen in this light the emphasis on socio-economic rights in the new South African Constitution represents a commitment to guarantee to everyone in society a certain minimum standard of living below which they will not be allowed to fall. As the Constitution recognises socio-economic rights as justiciable rights, they can be of assistance to those who are unable to support themselves when challenging the state for the non-delivery of basic services. The duty to deliver the services lies first with the state and the court becomes involved only once it is alleged that the state has failed to fulfil its duty. The primary purpose of the study is aimed at determining the effectiveness of the South African Human Rights Commission in monitoring court orders in respect of the implementation of socio-economic rights. Non-Governmental Organisations, involved in the promotion and protection of human rights including socio-economic rights, cannot be left out of the process. It is argued that where the Courts issue structural interdicts, which have of late been used by them, albeit not enough in the context of socio-economic rights, they are responsible for the implementation of such orders. It is also argued that the South African Human Rights Commission and NGOs must be enjoined to ensure that court orders are better implemented. Court orders in respect of socio-economic rights in almost all the cases to date were neither implemented nor monitored adequately.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Ter erkenning van die sosio-ekonomiese ongelykhede wat post-apartheid Suid- Afrika geërf het en die volslae armoede waaraan talle Suid-Afrikaners onderwerp is, het die mense van Suid-Afrika 'n grondwet aanvaar wat verbonde is tot die beskerming van sosio-ekonomiese regte en die bevordering van maatskaplike geregtigheid. Apartheid het elke internasionaal-erkende mensereg geskend. Teen hierdie agtergrond verteenwoordig die klem op sosioekonomiese regte in die nuwe Suid-Afrikaanse grondwet 'n verbondenheid daartoe om vir elkeen in die maatskappy 'n bepaalde minimum lewensstandaard te waarborg, waaronder hulle nie toegelaat sal word om te sak nie. Aangesien die grondwet sosio-ekonomiese regte as beregbare regte erken, kan hierdie regte van nut wees vir mense wat hulself nie kan onderhou nie, as hulle die staat uitdaag omdat basiese dienste nie gelewer word nie. Die plig om dienste te lewer berus eerstens by die staat, met die gevolg dat die hof eers betrokke raak as die staat nie daarin slaag om sy plig te vervul nie. Die primêre doel van hierdie studie is om vas te stel hoe effektief die Suid- Afrikaanse Menseregtekommissie is met die monitering van hofbevele wat betrekking het op die verwesenliking van sosio-ekonomiese regte. Nieregeringsinstansies wat betrokke is by die bevordering en beserkming van menseregte, met inbegrip van sosio-ekonomiese regte, kan egter nie uit die proses gelaat word nie. In hierdie studie word aangevoer dat waar die strukturele interdikte gee, soos wat in die onlangse verlede gebeur het, selfs al is dit nie genoeg in die konteks van sosio-ekonomiese regte nie, hulle ook verantwoordelikheid is daarvoor dat sulke bevele uitgevoer word. Dit word verder gestel dat die Suid-Afrikaanse Menseregtekommissie en nieregeringsinstansies moet saamwerk om te verseker dat hofbevele beter uitgevoer word. Tot op datum is amper geen hofbevele oor sosio-ekonomiese regte bevredigend uitgevoer of genoegsaam gemoniteer nie.

Abstract:
During the Great Depression, for the first time in its history, the federal government provided relief to the unemployed and destitute through myriad New Deal agencies. This dissertation examines how "general relief" (direct or "make-work") from federal programs—primarily the Emergency Relief and Construction Act (ERCA) and Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA)—was acquired and administered by the government of Texas through state administrative agencies. These agencies included the Chambers of Commerce (1932-1933), Unofficial Texas Relief Commission (1933), Texas Rehabilitation and Relief Commission (1933), Official Texas Relief Commission (1933-1934), Texas Relief Commission Division of the State Board of Control (1934), and the Department of Public Welfare (1939). Overall, the effective administration of general relief in the Lone Star State was undermined by a political ideology that persisted from, and was embodied by, the "Redeemer" Constitution of 1876.

Abstract:
Cette thèse se donne pour objet de tester, dans le contexte spécifique du droit français, la véracité et la pérennité des critiques féministe puis genrée de la définition du réfugié consistant à dénoncer la non-prise en compte des persécutions subies par les femmes et les minorités sexuelles dans le cadre de l’élection audit statut. Et c’est un constat mitigé qui ressort de l’étude car, en dépit des nombreuses pressions internationales et européennes invitant à une analyse genrée de la notion, ces critiques héritées des années 1980 apparaissent, dans une large mesure, encore d’actualité. Certes, le phénomène d’exclusion des persécutions liées au genre qu’elles dénonçaient s’est quelque peu affaibli, en ce que les persécutions subies par les femmes et les membres des minorités sexuelles ne sont, par principe, plus exclues du champ de la définition du réfugié. Mais il n’existe cependant toujours pas de volonté, politique ou juridictionnelle, visant à les intégrer pleinement dans l’analyse. En effet, les efforts consentis pour leur prise en compte se révèlent encore insuffisants, laissant demeurer des obstacles subtils à leur intégration, des obstacles d’autant plus délicats à identifier et à surmonter
The purpose of this thesis is to test, in the specific context of French law, the veracity and durability of feminist and gendered review of the refugee definition, which consists in denouncing the failure to take into account persecutions suffered by women and sexual minorities in the election process. It is a mixed conclusion that emerges from the study because, despite the numerous international and European pressures calling for a gendered analysis of the concept, these criticisms inherited from the 1980s still appear, to a large extent, to be relevant. Admittedly, the exclusion of gender-related persecution that they denounced has somewhat weakened, because persecutions suffered by women and members of sexual minorities are no longer excluded, as a matter of principle, from the scope of the refugee definition. However, there is still no political or jurisdictional will to fully integrate them into the analysis. Indeed, the efforts made to take them into account are still insufficient, leaving subtle obstacles to their integration, obstacles that are all the more difficult to identify and overcome

Abstract:
"It is submitted that South Africa presents the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (the Commission) and the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights (the Court) with inspiration to draw from on how social-economic rights can be protected. Issues of locus, defining the state's obligations, effective remedies and their enforcement can be drawn from. However, it is impossible to transpose a domestic system directly into the regional system. It is also submitted that South Africa's Constitution and jurisprudence is not without criticisms as assessed against the backdrop of international human rights law. In this respect the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (the Committee) offers immense inspiration. Through its practice of giving normative content to the rights in the ICESCR the Committee has given extensive definition to some of the rights in the ICESCR and the obligations that attach to them. The obligation of the states to take steps to the maximum of the available resources to achieve progressively the full realisation of the rights in the Covenant has been the subject of extensive elaboration by the Committee. In addition to this the Committee has read into the ICESCR a very important concept, the principle of 'core minimum obligations'. This concept sets the benchmark in determining whether the state has discharged it obligations at the minimum level. The Commission and Court should take advantage of the provisions of the Charter which allow for inspiration from other instruments. The Charter obliges the Commission and the Court to draw inspiration from international law and human and peoples' rights, including the UDHR and other instruments adopted by the United Nations and African countries in the area of human rights. This is in addition to taking into consideration other instruments laying down rules expressly recognized by the states. This paper sets out to show that the African system can draw inspiration from South Africa and the Committee in order to surmount the challenges affecting the realisation of the rights. The paper is divided into five parts. The first part outlines the normative framework of protection of economic, social and cultural rights within the ICESCR, the African Charter and South African Constitution. The second part explores the challenges hampering the effective realisation of these rights followed by an analysis of the African Court and the lessons it may draw not only from the Committee and South Africa's Constitution but from the African Commission as well. The fourth part looks at the forth-coming African Court and its challenges, pointing to aspects on which it may seek inspiration. This will be followed by a conclusion and recommendations." -- Introduction.

Le Comité ecclésiastique est créé le 12 août 1789, les premiers membres sont nommés le 20 août ; ils sont quinze dont la majorité sont des avocats. Le 7 février 1790, quinze nouveaux membres sont élus dont la moitié sont des ecclésiastiques réformateurs. Mis en minorité, les opposants démissionnent en mai 1790. Les compétences du Comité sont tellement vastes qu'il délègue au Comité des dîmes et aux comités réunis. Ce dernier crée le Comité des savants ou commision des monuments. Les travaux abordés par le comité concernent l'aliénation, l'administration et la vente des biens ecclésiastiques, mais aussi leur conservation, la suppression des ordres religieux, la constitution civile du clergé, l'état civil et le mariage, enfin le culte et la liturgie
The "Comité ecclésiastique" was founded on the 12th of August 1789. The initial members were nominated on the 20th of August. They are fifteen and the majority of them is made of barristers. On the 7th of February 1790, fifteen new members are elected and half of them are reforming ecclesiastics. Defeated, the opponents resign in May 1790. The committee skills are so wide that is delegates to the "Comité des Dîmes" and to united Committees. The latter creates the "Comité des savants" or "Commission des monuments". The work by the committee concerns alienation, administration and sale of the ecclesiastical property, but also its preserving, the abolition of the religious orders, the civil constitution of clergy, the civil status and the marriage and finally the religion and the liturgy

Based on the fact that higher courts are assuming a greater role in Brazil today, as is the global trend in complex contemporary societies, in the shaping of public policy and regulation, the study aims to map the evolution – and progressive democratization – of the checks and balances structure established in the 1988 Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil, i.e., the selection process of justice for Federal Supreme Court, Brazil’s apex constitutional court. The text analyses the institutional/constitutional framework of the selection process for new justices, and exemplify changes in the profile of political players, in the network of competences of institutions involved in the process and in the social, political, economic and cultural context that pushed through the practical transformation of the institutional selection model without altering, however, the format originally established in the 19th Century. By mapping the origin and evolution of the constitutional formula for collaboration between the Executive and Legislative branches in choosing the members of the Judiciary’s highest court, the study finds the origin of the Brazilian model in the US experience, describing the latter and making parallels between the two. Taking the 1988 Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil as a milestone, the work demonstrates the even greater mobilization of political and social players concerning the selection process, especially in relation to the hearings and confirmation of appointments for the Federal Supreme Court by the Federal Senate Constitution, Justice and Civic Rights Commission (CCJ). Finally, the studies analyzes actual CCJ hearing sessions and some of the main discussions therein so as to draw lessons that may guide the debate on the evolution of the selection process of justices to the Federal Supreme Court , including as an early control tool used by those involved in the creation of future public policy through Federal Supreme Court decisions.
Partindo da constatação de que o Brasil acompanha hoje um fenômeno global de protagonismo das cortes supremas nas sociedades complexas contemporâneas, notadamente na criação de políticas-públicas e regulação, o estudo procura mapear a evolução – e progressiva democratização – de uma estrutura de freios e contrapesos prevista na Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988 ('Constituição'), qual seja, o processo de seleção dos ministros do Supremo Tribunal Federal. Ao longo do texto é analisada a arquitetura institucional e constitucional do processo de indicação e aprovação de novos ministros, bem como exemplificadas mudanças no perfil dos atores políticos, no plexo de competências das instituições envolvidas e no contexto social, político, econômico e cultural que forçaram a transformação prática do modelo de seleção institucional, sem alteração, no entanto, da formatação originalmente prevista desde o Século XIX. Mapeando a origem e evolução da fórmula constitucional de colaboração entre o Poder Executivo e o Poder Legislativo para a escolha dos membros da cúpula do Poder Judiciário, o estudo identifica a origem do modelo brasileiro na inspiração da experiência norte-americana, descrevendo esta e os paralelos possíveis com aquele. A partir do marco central da Constituição, o trabalho procura demonstrar uma progressiva mobilização de atores políticos e sociais em relação ao processo de escolha, notadamente em relação ao momento em que os indicados para o Supremo Tribunal Federal são sabatinados pela Comissão de Constituição, Justiça e Cidadania do Senado Federal. Finalmente, são analisadas concretamente as sabatinas e algumas das suas principais discussões, buscando extrair lições que sirvam de norte colaborativo para a evolução da forma de seleção dos ministros do Supremo Tribunal Federal, inclusive como instrumento de controle prévio de seus membros, futuros elaboradores de políticas-públicas.

Abstract:
This chapter assesses Article XXIX of the Oklahoma constitution, which concerns the Ethics Commission. This part of the constitution establishes and sets forth member requirements and prohibitions for the state’s Ethics Commission. The commission enjoys an unusual level of autonomy because it is constitutional rather than statutory. Creation of this commission reflects a nationwide reform movement that began in the 1960s and led to new ways of supervising political campaign practices and regulating the behavior of public officials and lobbyists at the federal and state levels. Section 2 addresses budgetary considerations of the Ethics Commission. Section 3 basically sets forth the Ethics Commission’s job: to establish ethical rules and guidelines for state campaigns, officers, and employees. Section 4 gives the Ethics Commission broad powers to enforce its rules, including subpoena and settlement power. Meanwhile, Section 6 stresses that the Ethics Commission’s existence and rules are not intended to replace criminal laws pertaining to certain conduct.

Abstract:
The standards for Indigenous engagement are evolving rapidly in Canada. The risks to project approvals and schedules, based on whether consultation has been complete, have been recently demonstrated by the denial of project permits and protests against projects. Indigenous rights and the duty to consult with affected Indigenous groups is based on the Constitution Act, 1982 and has been, and is being, better defined through case law. At the same time, international standards, including the International Finance Corporation Performance Standards and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, are influencing government and corporate policies regarding consultation. The Government of Canada is revising policies and project application review processes, to incorporate the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada; that Commission specifically called for industry to take an active role in reconciliation with Canada’s Indigenous peoples. Pipeline companies can manage cost, schedule and regulatory risks to their projects and enhance project and corporate social acceptance through building and maintaining respectful relationships and creating opportunities for Indigenous participation in projects.
