En este libro se recogen estudios que permiten entender el proceso de descentralización de los servicios de educación básica transferidos por el gobierno federal a los gobiernos estatales a partir del Acuerdo Nacional para la Modernización de la Educación Básica de mayo de 1992. Estos estudios están divididos en dos grandes apartados: los referidos a aspectos generales del proceso de la descentralización educativa en los que resaltan tanto los antencedentes históricos de ese cambio, como el papel de actores fundamentales en dicho proceso, la Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP) y el Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación (SNTE), así como los llamados estudios de caso que incorporan un análisis detallado de las formas tanto administrativas como pedagógicas ensayadas en cinco estados de la República para recibir y gestionar los servicios educativos transferidos. Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Chihuahua, Nuevo León y Oaxaca fueron los estados seleccionados para observar la transferencia de los servicios de educación básica, subrayando de manera destacada la oportunidad que tendrían para generar innovaciones en el campo educativo, a partir del momento en que se convirtieran en responsabilidad de los respectivos gobiernos estatales. En el análisis de los cinco estados se incorporaron elementos que permitieron hacer un ejercicio de comparación y llegar a conclusiones preliminares, puesto que se trata de un proceso en gestación.

The majority of the world's largest carbon emitters are either federations or have adopted systems of decentralised governance. The realisation of the world's climate mitigation objectives therefore depends in large part on whether and how governments within federal systems can cooperate to reduce carbon emissions and catalyse the emergence of low-carbon societies. This volume brings together leading experts to explore whether federal or decentralised systems help or hinder efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change. It reviews the opportunities and challenges federalism offers for the development and implementation of climate mitigation and adaption policies and identifies the conditions that influence the outcomes of climate governance. Including in-depth case studies of 14 different jurisdictions, this is an essential resource for academics, policymakers and practitioners interested in climate governance, and the best practices for enhancing climate action. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

The theory and concept of multi-level governance (MLG) is a fairly recent one, emerging from the deepening integration of the European Union in the early 1990s and the development of free trade agreements around the world. MLG enlarges the traditional approaches, namely those of neo-institutionalism and multinational federalism, by offering a better understanding of the role of the state, regions and provinces. The book analyses the changes that have taken place as well as those that might take place in the future.

Partout en Europe, c’est dans le cadre des « pays » primitifs (comtés, duchés, principautés) que les noblesses ont affirmé leur vocation politique. L’absorption de ces « pays » dans des ensembles plus vastes n’a pas aboli les structures de représentation (assemblées d’états, diètes, cortès) dans lesquelles les corps nobiliaires se sont épanouis comme « représentants-nés » de territoires en voie de provincialisation. Cet ouvrage étudie le rôle que les noblesses européennes ont joué dans les phénomènes de résistance et de renouvellement des pouvoirs intermédiaires sous les anciens régimes. Il prolonge la réflexion au-delà de 1789 pour comprendre comment, en France, la noblesse s’est adaptée à la mutation des cadres territoriaux et à la centralisation du pouvoir.
