Arnaud Svrcek a passé toute sa vie à Courmelles, village de 1870 habitants du Soissonnais. Quand il en a été élu maire à l’été 2020, il a dû relever bien des défis mais il était loin de se douter qu’un projet menaçait de fragiliser encore plus son territoire : l’installation d’une usine sur des terres agricoles.Rockwool, leader mondial de la production de laine de roche, souhaite établir son nouveau site sur les hauteurs du village. Ce qu’on leur présente comme une aubaine, la majorité des Courmellois le perçoit comme une énième fausse promesse, un retour à une industrie polluante du passé. Les craintes se confirment en découvrant le projet et sa cheminée de 47 mètres recrachant jour et nuit ses rejets toxiques.L’histoire de Courmelles est celle d’un village français qui a décidé de se battre. Arnaud Svrcek fait le récit de cette France désindustrialisée et perdante de la mondialisation, qui a décidé de ne plus se laisser faire par les multinationales et ceux qui leur déroulent le tapis rouge.

This analysis aims to assess the association between commune health station (CHS) service readiness and health service utilization to inform the design of a World Bank project and policies to strengthen primary health care in Vietnam. Using data drawn from the 2015 Vietnam district and commune health facility survey (DCHFS), a series of multivariate negative binomial regressions was estimated to measure the association between domains of service readiness and CHS utilization rates (average number of visits per capita). to conclude, investments in improving facility infrastructure (especially ensuring that facilities have the mandated number of rooms and building area), making available essential equipment items, and enabling the CHS to provide hypertension and diabetes services, whether made independently or together, would all likely increase CHS utilization. Investment in CHSs in zone 3 and zone 2 should be prioritized over investments in zone 1, since investments in the former would result in the highest utilization rates.

The resilience of global value chains has been put to the test by the COVID-19 pandemic, extreme weather events, and trade tensions spurred by growing economic nationalism and protectionism. Shocks in production and trade can be transmitted from one country to another by global value chains, although they can also help to lessen the blow of a domestic shock, such as a lockdown, and drive economic recovery. What shocks to global value chains should be anticipated in the coming years Is it possible to design policies that can enhance resilience to trade shocks in developing countries without endangering growth This paper explores simulations from the ENVISAGE global computable general equilibrium model to enhance understanding of the potential longer-term impacts of COVID-19 and the policy responses it engenders in developing countries. The paper assesses the likely impacts of measures designed to reshore production and reduce reliance on imports. It also evaluates other key factors shaping the global economy, including stylized scenarios to capture the essential elements of policies to achieve carbon emission reductions that will have an impact on trade.
