Community-based organizations on Lake Victoria: a lesson from the Tweyambe Fishing Enterprise in Muleba District, Kagera Region, Tanzania

This paper is aimed at government, non-government organizations, intergovernmental organizations and the general public as they work toward the development of their individual strategies and action plans. It has been recognized that community-based organizations have a particular relevance to the pursuit of sustainable resource management and may well contribute to the foundations of self-sustenance. Women on Lake Victoria, Tanzania presently face great challenges within the fishery. These include the lack of capital, interference by men, theft of fishing gear, time constraints and socio-cultural problems. In recent years, the fish trading and marketing sectors of the fishery, which have traditionally been dominated by women, have seen large incursions by male entrepreneurs. This move has endangered the role of women within the fishery. This paper focuses on the Tweyambe Fishing Enterprise (TFE), a well-known women's group based in Kasheno village in the Muleba District of Kagera Region in northwestern Tanzania. Inhabitants from the Haya ethnic group who make up some 95% of the population of Kagera Region dominate this village. The TFE has a series of initiatives aimed towards ecologically sound self-development

Organizações intergovernamentais na cooperação nuclear e cientifica entre Argentina e Brasil (1991-2011): uma resposta da periferia

Esta dissertação analisa cinco instituições intergovernamentais na cooperação nuclear e científica entre Argentina e o Brasil, que em diferentes etapas evolutivas procuram o aprofundamento do diálogo entre os dois países geradores do processo de integração da América do Sul. Tais organizações encontram-se permeadas por condições econômicas, políticas e de avanço científico, de ordem interno e externo, que definimos nos termos da CEPAL, como típicas da periferia. As instituições estudadas abrangem as décadas de 1991-2011 e analisamos como na procura por uma melhor inserção internacional, elas respondem às potências do centro: por uma parte seguindo as regras impostas e por outra na busca de algum grau de independência. A pesquisa apresenta uma clara preocupação pelo desenvolvimento, que foi entendido pelas lideranças argentinas e brasileiras no âmbito da cooperação e que oferece a possibilidade de formar blocos institucionais que forneçam à região uma maior ação no sistema internacional.

From Olympic administration to Olympic governance

This articles describes three models which played a key role in the evolution of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and all the organizations which contribute to the staging of the Olympic Games and constitute the Olympic System, from its beginnings in 1894 to the present day. This evolution and the addition of many stakeholders has increased the complexity of the management of the Olympic System over the years from pure Olympic administration (when the IOC headquarters moved to Lausanne in 1915) to Olympic network governance which must take into consideration more than 24 types of stakeholders, including goverments and intergovernmental organizations.

Estudio de caso: UNICEF Y el CICR en la cooperación humanitaria para la protección de la niñez en Uganda 2008-2012

Globalization, Agency, and Institutional Innovation: The Rise of Public-Private Partnerships in Global Governance

Public and private actors increasingly cooperate in global governance, a realm previously reserved for states and intergovernmental organizations (IOs). This trend raises fascinating theoretical questions. What explains the rise in public-private institutions and their role in international politics? Who leads such institutional innovation and why? To address the questions, this paper develops a theory of the political demand and supply of public-private institutions and specifies the conditions under which IOs and non-state actors would cooperate, and states would support this public-private cooperation. The observable implications of the theoretical argument are evaluated against the broad trends in public-private cooperation and in a statistical analysis of the significance of demand and supply-side incentives in public-private cooperation for sustainable development. The study shows that public-private institutions do not simply fill governance gaps opened by globalization, but cluster in narrower areas of cooperation, where the strategic interests of IOs, states, and transnational actors intersect.
