1994br., ENVOI DE L’AUTEUR, (couv. lég. passée), bon état « Le Fonds Européen de Développement est l’instrument financier de [la] coopération » entre la Communauté européenne (« pays du Nord ») et les pays dits ACP (« pays du Sud »), au sein d’une politique en faveur du développement dont l’origine tient à ce qu’elle est élaborée depuis les indépendances au début des années 60. « Bien qu’il n’ait pas la personnalité juridique et ne ressemble en rien à la Banque Mondiale ou à la Banque Européenne d’Investissement, il canalise la quasi-totalité des opérations financières effectuées au profit des pays bénéficiaires. Cet ouvrage décrit avec une minutie peu commune le rôle et le fonctionnement de cet instrument et par le fait même les différentes modalités – et elles sont multiples – de l’aide financière aussi bien que de l’assistance technique accordée par la Communauté à ses partenaires du Tiers Monde », mais également les « aspects juridiques de la coopération, tant au niveau des projets proprement dits que de l’administration et du contrôle financier et politique du FED. » [M. Lelart, Études internationales, 1996, 27 (4), p. 961-962].

"(Schacht) became one of the directors of the Reichsbank in 1916 and in 1923 became currency commissioner for the Reich. After his economic policies helped reduce German inflation and stabilize the German mark, Schacht was appointed president of the Reichsbank. He collaborated with other prominent figures in economics to form the Young Plan to modify the way that war reparations were paid after Germany's economy was destabilizing under the Dawes Plan. Though on March 7, 1930, six months after the beginning of the Great Depression, he stepped down from the position of Reichsbank Chairman, but returned on March 17, 1933 after Hitler's rise to power." - from wikipedia dot org.

1950460 pages including index. In 1945, the Headmaster-Designate of an Approved School suggested to the Trustees that it would be of much practical value to have an intensive study of a group of delinquents made by one who could be granted the necessary facilities by residence for a period in a School and by virtual adoption on to its staff. They were fortunate in securing the services of the author for the purpose. Mr. Stott, for four years, enjoyed the active co-operation of the Warden and the members of the permanent staff of a School whose identity it is not, for obvious reasons, possible to disclose. The present volume is the result of Mr. Stott's investigation and of his sympathetic and expert approach to the task thus entrusted to him. Unmarked. Moderate wear.
