Abstract

Le respect, une vertu certes, mais seulement si son objet en est vraiment digne. Il s'agit d'une prise de conscience qui me fait " reconnaître l'humanité dans la personne d'autrui comme en moi-même ", selon Kant. Ce respect-là est retenu, suspension de l'acte insolent, blasphématoire, violent ou destructeur. Il pose, par un accord tacite, une limite à ne pas franchir : auto-limitation de notre pouvoir d'agir en reconnaissance d'une valeur absolue. Mais qui décide de ce qui a de la valeur ? Respect d'autrui, de soi, respect des droits et de la dignité de chacun, de la différence, de la vérité, de la loi; autant de champs qui interrogent la morale, le droit, la politique, l'expérience littéraire, le sentiment du sacré, et suscitent ici une réflexion vigilante.

Abstract

La dignité de la personne est une notion malaisée à définir pour le juriste. Et pourtant, elle connaît un grand succès et s'impose à lui. De tous côtés, on l'invoque comme clé de voûte de nos systèmes juridiques, à la manière d'un impératif éthique, d'une borne infranchissable. Ce caractère à la fois indicible et intangible rendait sans doute nécessaire ce dialogue à plusieurs voix qu'ont tenté dans cet ouvrage, avec des genres et des tons différents, des universitaires de diverses origines, unis dans cette commune interrogation, par le souvenir et l'image de Christian BOLZE, à qui ces pages sont dédiées.

Abstract

July 2000 - Poverty in the developing world will decline by roughly half by 2015 if current growth trends and policies persist. But a disproportionate share of poverty reduction will occur in East and South Asia, poverty will decline only slightly in Sub-Saharan Africa, and it will increase in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. What can be done to change this picture? More effective development aid could greatly improve poverty reduction in the areas where poverty reduction is expected to lag: Sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia. Even more potent would be significant policy reform in the countries themselves. Collier and Dollar develop a model of efficient aid in which the total volume of aid is endogenous. In particular, aid flows respond to policy improvements that create a better environment for poverty reduction and effective use of aid. They use the model to investigate scenarios-of policy reform, of more efficient aid, and of greater volumes of aid-that point the way to how the world could cut poverty in half in every major region. The fact that aid increases the benefits of reform suggests that a high level of aid to strong reformers may increase the likelihood of sustained good policy (an idea ratified in several recent case studies of low-income reformers). Collier and Dollar find that the world is not operating on the efficiency frontier. With the same level of concern, much more poverty reduction could be achieved by allocating aid on the basis of how poor countries are as well as on the basis of the quality of their policies. Global poverty reduction requires a partnership in which third world countries and governments improve economic policy while first world citizens and governments show concern about poverty and translate that concern into effective assistance. This paper-a product of the Development Research Group-is part of a larger effort in the group to study aid effectiveness.

Abstract

In the efficient allocation of aid, aid is targeted disproportionately to countries with severe poverty and adequate policies. For a given level of poverty, aid tapers in with policy reform. In the actual allocation of aid, aid tapers out with reform. Aid now lifts about 30 million people a year out of absolute poverty. With a poverty-efficient allocation, the same amount of aid would lift about 80 million people out of poverty. Collier and Dollar derive a poverty-efficient allocation of aid and compare it with actual aid allocations. They build the poverty-efficient allocation in two stages. First they use new World Bank ratings of 20 different aspects of national policy to establish the current relationship between aid, policies, and growth. Onto that, they add a mapping from growth to poverty reduction, which reflects the level and distribution of income. They compare the effects of using headcount and poverty-gap measures of poverty. They find the actual allocation of aid to be radically different from the poverty-efficient allocation. In the efficient allocation, for a given level of poverty, aid tapers in with policy reform. In the actual allocation, aid tapers out with reform. In the efficient allocation, aid is targeted disproportionately to countries with severe poverty and adequate policies - the type of country where 74 percent of the world's poor live. In the actual allocation, such countries receive a much smaller share of aid (56 percent) than their share of the world's poor. With the present allocation, aid is effective in sustainably lifting about 30 million people a year out of absolute poverty. With a poverty-efficient allocation, this would increase to about 80 million people. Even with political constraints introduced to keep allocations for India and China constant, poverty reduction would increase to about 60 million. Reallocating aid is politically difficult, but it may be considerably less difficult than quadrupling aid budgets, which is what the authors estimate would be necessary to achieve the same impact on poverty reduction with existing aid allocations. This paper - a joint product of the Office of the Director, and Macroeconomics and Growth, Development Research Group - is part of a larger effort in the group to examine aid effectiveness.
