In Belgium, a development program to assist cities struggling with disadvantaged neighbourhoods was set up with the help of federal funding. Between 2005 and 2008, city contracts and housing contracts were entered into to allow cities and communes to define a range of projects that could be formalized by contract. After analysing the major policy orientations of the housing contracts, this assessment seeks to gauge their effects with respect to both visibility and the problems encountered by program management. In conclusion, we underscore the limits inherent in a policy that remains segmented by sector and that, besides prompting calls for a proximity policy, reveals organizational and democratic shortcomings in urban management.

Does citizenship have the same meaning for men and women? Taking as a point of departure how women became citizens, i.e. via social citizenship, I will discuss three issues. First, the ways in which women's political action stems from a " victim " status. Second, the consequences of conflating public policies and political activity in feminist politics. Third, how do oppressed groups — in this case women— become politically authoritative?

AbstractThe aim of this essay is to deal with the creation and the evolution of the European External Action Service (eeas), by replacing them in the simplification process of European Treaties, which led to the Lisbon Treaty and the apparition of three novelties reinforcing eu governance: the President of the European Council, the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, helped with an important eeas and the legal personnality of the eu. The second part of the text tries to identify potential strategies for Europe within the current political conjuncture and indicates main topics for analysts and European decision-makers within the framework of an incoming multipolar system.

AbstractThe concept on empire focuses the debate on contemporary international relations, and mainly on the United States' post 9/11 foreign policy. In terms of philosophical analysis, this means putting into fundamental perspective the imperial purpose as a part of solution to the problem of peace keeping in the world today. Through his own vision and his underground influence upon the neoconservatives, Machiavelli's thought appears as the matrix of this political operation. According to him, the imperial modus of international action control makes sense as the most tested logical answer to the permanent uncertainty and ambiguity of the world. It reveals at the same time its own brittleness, which can only be assumed with a radical strategic approach of foreign policy.
