L'inauguration du musée d'art moderne et d'art contemporain de Nice en 1990
1993
The inauguration of the Nice Museum of Modem and Conteporary Art in 1990, Philippe Poirrier. On 8 April 1990, the Franco-American sculptor Annan refused to inaugurate the retrospective of his work at the new Modem and Contemporary Art Museum of Nice in company of Jacques Médecin, mayor of Nice. The reason was the mayor's complecency vis-à-vis the National Front's theses. The incident originated a local and then a national affair that in which the artists, the elected officials of the Côte d'Azur and the minister of Culture, Jack Lang, were involved. The debate clearly illustrates some of the political stakes involved in cultural policies in France.
The Mechanics of Progress in Education: Evidence from Cross-Country Data
1998
The document examines first the relationship between a number of indicators concerning a country system of education (global and per-pupil public resources by level of schooling, education coverage, quality of educational outcomes, efficiency in student flow, external efficiency, equity by gender and in resource allocation, ..) and and its environment (overall sector context, demographic pressure fiscal, capacity, structure of employment, ..) on the one hand, its level of economic development on the other. The paper analyzes how the economic development affects the amount of resources mobilized for the sector with the finding that the main source of resources lies in the decrease of the tea…
An adult life cycle perspective on public subsidies to higher education in three countries
1986
Studies of the incidence of public susidies to higher education have commonly disregarded adjustements to an appropriate age range in the parental reference populations. Even where the need for such adjustements is noted, implications have rarely if ever been systematically analyzed. Moreover, no attention whatsoever seems to have been paid to implications for adult life-cycle experiences let alone secular changes in experiences over successive cohorts. The present paper seeks to fill part of these gaps, drawing on relevant parts of our research on "the political economy of government support of higher education : studies in Chile, France and Malaysia".
The Strategy Used by High-Performing Asian Economies in Education : Some Lessons for Developing Countries
1998
International audience; The paper examines the main features of the educational policies followed over the last three decades by high-performing Asian economies. The educational strategy is contrasted with that of the other countries located in the same region. The issues analyzed concern the emphasis placed on the different levels of schooling, the choices made in terms of quantity and quality of education, the schemes used to finance education at the different levels and the choice of school inputs toward efficiency and equity.
Social inequality at school and educational policies
2003
This study looks at the links between school and social inequalities, both the way in which school may cultivate such inequalities, and the educational policies that can play a role in limiting them. The booklet provides what is one of only very few summaries of the plentiful literature devoted to the subject. It reveals the scale and various aspects of social inequalities, and, with reference to sociological research, discusses their origin both within families and in the daily functioning of schools and the classroom. This is followed by a description of educational policies for reducing inequalities in the school careers of children and young people, ranging from classroom-based measures…
Vers de nouveaux modes de gouvernement des systèmes éducatifs ? Les leçons des comparaisons internationales
2002
Dans la plupart des pays développés, l'autonomie des établissements scolaires s'est accrue, accompagnée en général par une surveillance de leurs performances et par des mécanismes d'incitation. Par ailleurs, les parents peuvent davantage choisir l'école de leurs enfants. Cela s'est passé en France aussi, mais de façon plus retenue, et sans que le mode de régulation du système éducatif n'évolue en conséquence. Cet article présente les politiques implantées à l'étranger en la matière, en particulier au Royaume-Uni et dans certains Etats ou Districts des Etats-Unis, et le bilan que l'on peut faire des politiques de choix de l'école comme des politiques d'autonomie/régulation par les résultats.…
: Policies of decentralization in education : international diversity, theoretical reasoning, empirical evidence
2004
Over the past two decades, decentralization of governments has become common throughout the world. The education sector is no exception. Countries with diverse economic, spatial, demographic and educational features have implemented significant decentralization reforms. The traditional typology of educational functions, characterized by contrasts between central states federal states has grown enriched with families of newly decentralized educational systems. However, despite the polical popularity of decentralization reforms, neither economic and political theories nor empirical evaluations give consistent grounds for this worldwide trend. Despite an impressive amount of literature, mainly…
Les modalités de changement dans le système éducatif français
2001
Dans l'Education nationale, tout se passe comme si les décisions politiques prises étaient naturelles, comme si la solution retenue s'imposait, comme si la rationalité développée par le décideur concentrait l'ensemble des vertus traditionnellement attachées au concept même de rationalité. Mais de quelle rationalité s'agit-il en réalité ? Les études effectuées sur les systèmes éducatifs français et francophones semblent montrer que les déterminants internes aux systèmes l'emportent sur les déterminants externes, comme si la logique propre et spécifique du système éducatif constituait le moteur nécessaire et quasi suffisant de toute évolution. Les différents protagonistes développent des argu…
Essay on the integration of interactions in the treatment effect evaluation : the contribution of spatial econometrics methods
2015
This thesis focuses on the integration of interactions in the estimation of the public policy’s effect. Indeed, the estimation standard methods usually rely on strong assumptions that exclude partially or completely the interaction effect both in the selection process of beneficiaries and in the performance of the policy. However, the validity of these assumptions is questionable, particularly in the context of a non-experimental policy because an individual according as it is the beneficiary or not the policy, is not isolated: he interacts with his neighborhood. Thus, the estimated effect of the policy by traditional methods is likely to be biased (underestimation or overestimation) theref…
Quelle éducation pour les ruraux des pays en voie de développement ?
1985
International audience; De nombreux pays en voie de développement s'interrogent sur leur politique d'éducation vis-à-vis des ruraux, et l'on observe, depuis quelques années, la mise en place de réformes dont les effets risquent d'être plus dommageables que ceux des systèmes que l'on prétend ainsi corriger. le problème tourne autour de la question centrale du degré de spécificité que doit avoir l'école rurale pour répondre aux besoins du développement en général, et de développement agricole en particulier. Or, les évolutions en cours tendent à rechercher plus de spécificité, et l'auteur se propose de montrer que cette voie est dangereuse et a peu de chances de produire les effets positifs e…
