“…Interview subjects described the Task Force as receptive to Afghans' ideas, physically present but not overly directive, and willing to take risks, saying, for example, "we haven't been micromanaged, yet they've been with us the whole way." 20 Despite the overall view toward the TFBSO mission and efforts, some Afghan respondents indicated limited dissatisfaction with the organizations. The two primary concerns voiced by Afghan partners were that sometimes it was unclear what TFBSO's capabilities were and that the Task Force model did not provide money directly to companies.…”

“…19 Several TFBSO employees reported that this failure to deal with DoD, Congress, and other U.S. agencies hampered the efficacy of the organization, with one staff member noting, "honestly, that's probably why the Task Force is winding down, because we weren't really understood by those different groups." 20 Some staff felt that Task Force senior leaders became more effective at coordinating with other stakeholders toward the end of TFBSO's tenure in Afghanistan, making it "easier for us to accomplish what the mission is," 21 but by then, the Task Force was already scheduled to close. 22 The TFBSO leadership also faced significant difficulties in attracting experienced, high-quality personnel.…”

“…19 Another article, written as a counterpoint to this argument, saw the effort more through the lens of TFBSO, believing that the responsibility was to provide the best up-front terms for Afghanistan in terms of royalties. 20 An industry expert expressed concern that the focus on these political issues distracted from larger questions of negligence for not understanding the risks of a potential deal because of a "crude analysis" of oil and gas solutions. 21 This respondent felt that these weaknesses should have been mitigated by a press for greater transparency and monitoring; in addition, although there was some success in including health and safety provisions in the tender, provisions for community grievance mechanisms and provisions to guard against human rights were not included, but they would have been sensible precautions in the Afghan operating environment.…”

Cover Image: World Bank Photo Collection/Flickr iii PrefaceIn early 2010, the U.S. Department of Defense's Task Force for Business and Stability Operations (TFBSO) began activities in Afghanistan with the intent of using private-sector strategies to create a sustainable Afghan economy. This research describes the experience of that organization. The purpose of this report is to critically examine the choices made by the Task Force and to preserve knowledge of its activities, and the challenges it encountered, should the U.S. government choose to engage in a similar effort in the future.This research was sponsored by TFBSO and conducted within the International Security and Defense Policy Center of the RAND National Defense Research Institute, a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, the Unified Combatant Commands, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the defense agencies, and the defense Intelligence Community.For more information on the RAND International Security and Defense Policy Center, see www.rand.org/nsrd/ndri/centers/isdp or contact the director (contact information is provided on the web page). The original intent of this organization was to evaluate the contracting process to explore how the billions of dollars in DoD contracts being awarded to non-Iraqi companies for support items (e.g., concrete, buses) could be redirected to Iraqi firms.By the end of 2006, the Task Force's mandate shifted toward supporting the revitalization of previously state-owned enterprises in order to promote jobs as an alternative to joining an insurgency. The intent of this organization, as specified by DoD, was to "sustain economic revitalization activi...

La mesure du lien familial : développement et diversification d’un champ de recherches

L’étude du lien familial a connu un fort développement, ces dernières décennies, en démographie historique et en histoire de la famille, grâce à la prise en compte de la diversité des relations au sein de la famille et à sa périphérie, et à une réflexion sur les enjeux de la mesure du lien familial. Cet article rend ainsi compte de ces questionnements méthodologiques et historiographiques en s’attachant, tout d’abord, à l’étude de la relation primordiale, l’alliance, puis à celle de la parenté élargie (des grands-parents, aux frères et sœurs en passant par les oncles et tantes). Il fait ensuite le point sur la place de la parenté au sein des réseaux familiaux et sociaux, en fonction des différents types de mobilisation et de sources. Le panorama s’achève par un bilan historiographique sur le cas spécifique de la relation de parrainage, qui fait figure de lien de parenté dans la majeure partie du monde chrétien, et dont l’étude a connu un remarquable succès depuis une quinzaine d’années.

Parrainage et nomination en Bretagne aux xv e et xvi e siècles

Au Bas Moyen Âge et à l’époque moderne, l’étude de la nomination est indissociable d’une étude du parrainage. Cet article vise à préciser leurs fonctions sociales respectives en Bretagne au xv e et xvi e siècle et à rechercher qui, du nom ou du parrain, détermine l’autre. L’institution du parrainage était un élément constitutif de la sociabilité communautaire. En contrepartie d’une honorabilité proclamée aux yeux de tous, le parrain avait le devoir implicite de porter assistance à son filleul et à son compère en cas de besoin. La transmission du nom au filleul était le signe de cet engagement mais, pour les parents, ce nom pouvait aussi être une marque d’honneur envers un saint particulier qui devenait de facto redevable d’une assistance similaire à l’égard du nouveau-né. L’évolution des besoins de solidarité et de la croyance en la puissance déterminante des noms explique celle des pratiques nominatives.
