  Corruption and conflicts of interests

  Third seminar of the "Economic analysis of public law and policies" series

  Participants to the November 24 2010 session on Impact Assessment and the Scientific Committee of the Seminar have suggested that, broadly speaking, topics revolving around corruption, the rule of law and good governance would be of interest for the next session. We feel that, within this array, corruption stricto sensu and the broader set of public agents behaviours generally described as characterizing a situation of “conflict of interest” may be a good focus. The day will focus, more precisely, on the analysis of the determinants of corruption, and the impact of corruption on economic growth. Certain major concepts such as agency or transparency should be part of the analysis and debate in order to open a broad discussion on the rationale and efficiency of anti-corruption policies.

  Energy and Development

  L’énergie est un défi majeur en matière de politique de développement. La poursuite d’un développement se nourrissant essentiellement de l’abondance des énergies fossiles bon marché se heurte à la raréfaction des réserves, à la hausse des cours et au réchauffement climatique. Une dizaine d'auteurs et d’experts viendront débattre des difficultés de changer de trajectoire de développement, des enjeux géopolitiques, notamment pour les pays émergents, ainsi que du rôle de la coopération internationale dans le domaine de l'énergie.
