Quelles réformes de l’administration publique dans le contexte post-COVID-19 : Expériences croisées

March 10, 2021

La crise sanitaire sans précédent que connait actuellement le monde a mis en exergue les failles structurelles des systèmes médicaux dans les pays développés, à cause des choix dictés par l’idéologie ultra-libérale et qui ont abouti à des coupes budgétaires sombres, notamment dans le secteur de la santé publique. Cette crise devrait modifier profondément les rôles de l’Etat. L’Etat joue traditionnellement plusieurs rôles : d’actionnaire à travers la prise de participation dans des entreprises, de développeur/stratège à travers l’allocation de ressources dans des secteurs qu’il considère judicieux de développer, de facilitateur/régulateur à travers la mise en place d’un environnement des affaires sain et sûr et de protecteur, à travers la protection des personnes et des biens (sécurité et protection sociale). De cette manière, l’Etat assume son rôle de décideur à travers la définition des grandes orientations et des choix stratégiques et la conduite de politiques publiques ayant pour objectif de développer un climat favorable de confiance et de mettre en place les conditions propices au progrès économique et social. Dans les mois et années qui viennent, les rôles de protecteur (sur le plan social), de stratège/développeur et de régulateur de l’Etat devraient se renforcer. A ce titre, nous devrions assister au retour en force de l’Etat Providence, pourtant si décrié ces trente dernières années –mis à part la courte parenthèse post-crise 2008. Cet Etat providence se caractérise actuellement, à l’échelle mondiale, par la mise en place de plans massifs de relance pratiqués par les pays afin de procéder au redressement de leurs économies en général. Ces plans de relance, généreusement dotés en termes de budget, se singularisent par le fait qu’ils agissent de manière concomitante sur l’offre, à travers le soutien aux entreprises, et sur la demande, à travers le soutien au pouvoir d’achat des ménages.

    The water-energy-food (WEF) nexus has emerged over the last few years as an innovative and holistic platform for resource management and allocation. Unlike many other disciplines that make their way to the policy circle through academic debates, the nexus emerged from the global and policy business community as a platform to guide sustainability efforts. It is, with no doubt, that the nexus will find its way to the implementation of the sustainability development goals (SDGs), appro ...

    Due to the existing geographical distance between the main consumption and production regions and the resulting significant logistical costs, the liquefied natural gas (LNG) market has historically been structured around long-term supply contracts indexed to oil prices. With the recent development of shale gas and sluggish European growth, excess LNG supply now fosters the development of spot markets, particularly in Asia, by nature more flexible and disconnected from oil prices. In ...

    The expression “green revolution” is controversial today; yet my own assessment is that, in spite of many valid criticisms, the Green Revolution was a major achievement for humankind: it made erroneous the Malthusian predictions of the 1960s and 70s that it would be impossible to provide enough food for a rapidly growing world population and that major humanitarian crises, including famines, would occur in several countries within a few years, particularly in South Asia. In a wider ...

    Q: The U.S. Federal Reserve on Dec. 16 raised interest rates, ending what Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen called an “extraordinary seven-year period” during which policymakers kept the federal funds rate near zero in an effort to support the economy. How will the Fed’s action affect Latin American economies, many of which are struggling with anemic growth and low prices for their commodity exports? How will the interest rate hike affect Latin American countries’ ability to pay off their ...

    Brazilian scholarly output has rapidly increased, accompanied by the expansion of domestic collaborations. In this paper, we identify spatial patterns of collaboration in Brazil and measure the role of geographic proximity in determining the interaction among researchers. Using a database comprising more than one million researchers and seven million publications, we consolidated information on interregional research collaboration in terms of scientific coauthorship networks among 4 ...

    The economic growth of the African continent and its positioning as an emerging force is a reality no longer questioned. Optimism surrounding the Africa rising narrative is supported by a growing young workforce, an expanding middle class, new discoveries of natural resources and minerals, relative political stability and infrastructure developments. Economic and international financial actors now recognize the potential that the continent represents for the world economy, consider ...

    Managing natural resources is a matter of great importance, both politically, socially, environmentally and economically. The subject is, though, vast and varied and sufficiently legitimate to clarify the terms of the debate. Since we cannot obviously claim to present a complete and exhaustive picture, this policy brief sets out to identify some of the substantive issues tied to natural resources, from an economist’s perspective. ...
