This study aims to analyze citizen participation in state policy decisions, as an essential element of legitimacy in the branches of government, especially in the sphere of the Executive, in the context of deliberative democracy. But, this study still has the desideratum to understand the citizen's role in public life, especially in the sphere of the Executive Branch, in order to effect the Fundamental Right to Public Administration proba, efficient and honest. Thus, to achieve this mister, the proposal is to expose the pesamento the classic contractualist, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and Rousseau about the legitimacy of governments, through the statutes, and the question of the general will and majority rule as well how to present the comments of Thomas Jefferson on popular sovereignty and dialogical citizen participation in matters of local interest. After, it will be studied the theories of Fundamental Rights in order to demonstrate the need for the Civil Service should be veiled in a more specific custody rights, given the deep crisis in the Public Administrative practice due, especially, corruption.

But, this study also has the desideratum to understand the citizen's role in public life, especially in the sphere of the Executive Branch, in order to actualize the Fundamental Right to a just, efficient and honest Public Administration. Thus, to achieve this necessity, the proposal is to expose the thought of the classic contractualist thinkers, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and Rousseau about the legitimacy of governments, through the statutes, and the question of the general will and majority rule as well as how to present the comments of Thomas Jefferson on popular sovereignty and dialogical citizen participation in matters of local interest. Later on, the theories of Fundamental Rights will be studied in order to demonstrate that the need for the Civil Service should be veiled in a more specific right custody, given the deep crisis in the Public Administrative practice due to, especially, the corruption. On the other hand, the fundamentality of management also covers the aspect of the development of cities, which decisively affects the development of man, who, to join a deliberative governance program, needs to be politicized, adopting full participation and dialogue as a citizen responsibility. Furthermore, taking as the major heart, it will be presented the doctrine of Jürgen Habermas whose Discourse Theory element is to be followed for the implementation of a broad deliberative and emancipatory democracy, with effective citizen participation. It will also be considered the Condorcet Constitution Project as a comparative link in the linking of the public deliberative will, and the Central Power, in the face of the Theory of “Sluice” Habermas. The proposal, based on communicative action, must allow a continuous flux and influx process of social interests towards the exercise of administrative power. The dialogical deal, brought to the center of the decisions, will allow discussions in the public scope, and may contribute to the legitimacy of government actions, inasmuch as it creates the feeling of politicization demanded by the man in a democratic state.

Cette thèse examine les pratiques architecturales et les dynamiques identitaires chez les Podokwo, Muktele et Mura des monts Mandara (Cameroun). Elle s’organise autour de l’hypothèse-cadre selon laquelle la logique pratique et fonctionnelle de la construction, de l’extension et de la transformation d’une maison évolue en tandem avec des considérations d’ordre symbolique, notamment la production des sentiments ethniques (Hodder, 1982) et la quête du prestige social à l’intérieur de la communauté (Duncan, 1982 ; Roux, 1976). En partant de l’approche développée par des auteurs comme Ian Hodder (2012, 2006, 1999, 1982), Daniel Miller (2010, 2007, 2005, 2001, 1987), et Christophey Tilley (2010, 2006, 2004, 2002, 1999), je montre comment la maison, à travers ses multiples usages, devient porteuse de plusieurs appartenances identitaires à un niveau sociétal et individuel (Bromberger, 1980). Pour cela, j’ai porté mon attention, non seulement sur ce que les individus font avec la maison, mais aussi sur la manière dont celle-ci construit à son tour l’identité des individus (Miller, 2001 : 119). J’ai par ailleurs centrée mon analyse autour de quelques évènements clés survenus dans l’histoire des Podokwo, des Muktele et des Mura, en particulier la descente en plaine (1963), l’exode rural et le fonctionnariat (1980) et la transition démocratique (1990). Ces évènements influent sur les pratiques architecturales et sur les discours identitaires qui en sont les corolaires.

O contexto prisional tem recebido nos últimos anos uma grande atenção por parte dos investigadores portugueses. Porém, esse estudo não se têm centrado nos guardas prisionais, como grupo profissional. Dada a inexistência de pesquisas sobre esta temática, o presente estudo pretende analisar os contextos em que se desenrola o exercício das funções dos guardas prisionais, uma vez que estas podem produzir desmotivação e desgaste profissional nestes indivíduos. A investigação decorreu com a participação de guardas prisionais, a exercer funções nos Estabelecimentos Prisionais de Chaves, Lamego e Izeda. Para serem atingidos os objetivos propostos, optou-se pelo método qualitativo,através da aplicação de entrevistas semiestruturadas como instrumento de recolha de dados. Durante o mês de Abril e Maio de 2016 foram realizadas entrevistas a quinze guardas prisionais que trabalhavam em contacto direto com os reclusos. Ao longo da análise das entrevistas ficaram patentes nas declarações algumas fontes de desmotivação devido ao congelamento de salários e das progressões na função pública, à inexistência de concursos internos e à ineficácia e injustiça das avaliações de desempenho. Por outro lado, os profissionais estudados afirmam sentir uma fraca valorização das suas funções no serviço, a par de uma má imagem da sua profissão, difundida e sustentada pelos meios de comunicação social. Estes fatores podem contribuir para que eles próprios não se sintam identificados com o grupo profissional ao qual pertencem. Finalmente, os entrevistados manifestam sentir uma falta de formação contínua, cuja existência consideram fundamental.

A prepayment scheme for health through the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) was commenced in Nigeria about ten years ago. Nigeria operates a federal system of government. Sub- national levels possess a high degree of autonomy in a number of sectors including health. It is important to assess the level of coverage of the scheme among the formal sector workers in Nigeria as a proxy to gauge the extent of coverage of the scheme and derive suitable lessons that could be used in its expansion. This is a cross-sectional, descriptive survey carried out among formal sector workers in Ilorin Kwara State, Nigeria. A stratified sampling technique was used to select study participants. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from respondents. Data was analysed with the SPSS. Ethical approval to conduct the study was obtained from the Bowen University Teaching Hospital Research Ethics Committee. A total of 370 people participated in the study. Majority, (78.9%) of the respondents were aware of the NHIS, however only 13.5 % paid for health care services through the NHIS. Logistic regression analysis shows that respondents with post-secondary education (OR = 9.032, CI = 2.562 – 31.847, p = 0.001) and in federal civil service (OR = 2.679, CI = 1.036 – 6.929, p = 0.042) were over nine and three times more likely to be aware of the scheme than others. Coverage of the scheme among the respondents was unimpressive. A lot still need to be done to fast-track the expansion of the scheme among this sector of the population.

“Knowing the Enemy: Nazi Foreign Intelligence in War, Holocaust and Postwar,” reveals the importance of ideologically-driven foreign intelligence reporting in the wartime radicalization of the Nazi dictatorship, and the continued prominence of Nazi discourses in postwar reports from German intelligence officers working with the U.S. Army and West German Federal Intelligence Service after 1945. For this project, I conducted extensive archival research in Germany and the United States, particularly in overlooked and files pertaining to the wartime activities of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt, Abwehr, Fremde Heere Ost, Auswärtiges Amt, and German General Staff, and the recently declassified intelligence files pertaining to the postwar activities of the Gehlen Organization, Bundesnachrichtendienst, and Foreign Military Studies Program. Applying the technique of close textual analysis to the underutilized intelligence reports themselves, I discovered that wartime German intelligence officials in military, civil service, and Party institutions all lent the appearance of professional objectivity to the racist and conspiratorial foreign policy beliefs held in the highest echelons of the Nazi dictatorship. The German foreign intelligence services’ often erroneous reporting on Great Britain, the Soviet Union, the United States, and international Jewry simultaneously figured in the radicalization of the regime’s military and anti-Jewish policies and served to confirm the ideological preconceptions of Hitler and his most loyal followers. After 1945, many of these same figures found employment with the Cold War West, using their “expertise” in Soviet affairs to advise the West German Government, U.S. Military, and CIA on Russian military and political matters. I chart considerable continuities in personnel and ideas from the wartime intelligence organizations into postwar West German and American intelligence institutions, as later reporting on the Soviet Union continued to reproduce the flawed wartime tropes of innate Russian military and racial inferiority.
