In 1625, Barbados was claimed on behalf of England. In 1627, Barbados was colonized and attained independence in 1966. The Barbados Parliament, established in 1639, was the third oldest Parliament in the British Commonwealth. The Parliament Buildings, completed in 1874, are the meeting places for the two chambers of Parliament, the Senate and the House of Assembly. The Legislative Council, originally established during the island’s colonization, was replaced by a Senate in 1964. The main entrance to the House of Assembly, the lower house, has a Bust of Sir William Conrad Reeves the first black person to be knighted. The architecture of the buildings reflects a Gothic revival featuring arches. The picture includes a woman in a yellow dress and a man next to a school. Many forms of transportation vehicles are seen: automobiles, scooters, motorcycles, and bicycles. Slide labeled Public Bldgs. Barbados.

Résumé : La mondialisation favorise le développement d’organisations supranationales, qui fédèrent de nombreux États, il s’agit principalement d’organisations économiques, comme l’Union Européenne, mais elle voit également l’avènement d’organisations d’un nouveau type : les organismes de promotion culturelle et linguistique. L’un des premiers fut le Commonwealth of Nations britannique développé au début du XXe siècle, mais depuis d’autres organismes se sont créés et ils connaissent un succès croissant au vu du nombre de pays qui adhèrent ou souhaitent adhérer. L’un des buts majeurs de ces organismes est la promotion d’une langue et d’une culture ainsi que la promotion de la diversité culturelle. Le champ de questionnement concerne la géopolitique, qui caractérise le rapport de force existant entre les langues et les organismes de promotion à l’échelle mondiale. La méthodologie mobilisée se base sur une étude des différents organismes de promotion culturelle et linguistique ainsi qu’une comparaison pour tenter de comprendre les stratégies développées par ces organismes.
Globalisation promotes the development of supranational organizations, which unite many states, and is primarily embodied by economic organizations like the European Union but also by a new type of organizations: organizations promoting cultural and linguistic diversity. Among the first was the British Commonwealth of nations developed in the early twentieth century, and then other organizations have been created and they are increasingly popular in terms of number of countries members or wishing to join. One of the major goals of these organizations is the promotion of a language and culture and the promotion of cultural diversity.The field of inquiry concerns geopolitics that characterized the power struggle between languages and promotion agencies. The methodology is based on a study of the various organizations to promote cultural and linguistic as well as a comparison to try to understand the strategies developed by these organizations.
La globalización promueve el desarrollo de las organizaciones supranacionales, que unen a muchos estados, esas organizaciones son principalmente de carácter económico como la Unión Europea, pero también se ve la llegada de un nuevo tipo de organizaciones: los organismos de promoción cultural y lingüística. Una de las primeras fue el Commonwealth of nations británico desarrollado en el siglo XX, pero otros organismos se han creado y están cada vez más popular en cuanto a número de países miembros o que desean unirse. Uno de los principales objetivos de estos organismos es la promoción de la lengua y la cultura y la promoción de la diversidad cultural. El alcance de las preguntas relativas a la geopolítica, que caracteriza el equilibrio de poder entre las lenguas y las agencias de promoción en todo el mundo. La metodología se basa en movilizar un estudio de los diversos organismos de promoción cultural y lingüística, así como una comparación para tratar de entender lo que las estrategias desarrolladas estos organismos.

Résumé : This paperdiscusses approaches to cultural alterity in the context of tourism, with an emphasis on food consumption.Tourism as a field of study is ideal for the observation and analysis of the strategies adopted by individuals facing the unknown, the other.Food consumption, although universal,is deeplycultural, and it anchors social norms in the body.Studyingfood inthe context of tourismallows us tohighlightthese normsas well ascertain individual identification processes. Roseau’s cruise port, Commonwealth of Dominica, serves as the empirical basis for my analysis. In 2006, 470 830 cruise passengers disembarked on the Island, which represented over 80% of visitors to the island, as well as more than six times the national population. In consideration of these impressive statistics, analyzing food strategies can give us insights into larger patterns of negotiation, between fear and attraction to the unknown.
Ce texte propose de développer la question de la relation à l’altérité culturelle en jeu dans la pratique touristique sous l’angle de l’alimentation. Le tourisme a l’avantage d’offrir un terrain d’étude privilégié pour observer les stratégies identitaires des individus face à l’inconnu. La consommation alimentaire, bien qu’universelle, est profondément culturelle, et ancre dans les corps des normes sociales. Etudier l’alimentation dans le contexte touristique donne l’occasion de mettre en évidence ces normes de même que certaines logiques identitaires des individus. Le port de croisière de Roseau, Commonwealth of Dominica, sert de base empirique au développement. En 2006, 470 830 passagers de croisières ont débarqués sur l’île, ce qui représentait plus de 80 % des visiteurs de l’île, de même que plus de six fois la population nationale. Face à ces impressionnantes statistiques, s’intéresser aux stratégies alimentaires permet de mettre en évidence des schémas plus larges : entre peur et attrait de l’inconnu.

Résumé : International audience
Ecological resilience assessments are an important part of resilience-based management (RBM) and can help prioritize and target management actions. Use of such assessments has been limited due to a lack of clear guidance on the assessment process. This study builds on the latest scientific advances in RBM to provide that guidance from a resilience assessment undertaken in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). We assessed spatial variation in ecological resilience potential at 78 forereef sites near the populated islands of the CNMI: Saipan, Tinian/Aguijan, and Rota. The assessments are based on measuring indicators of resilience processes and are combined with information on anthropogenic stress and larval connectivity. We find great spatial variation in relative resilience potential with many high resilience sites near Saipan (5 of 7) and low resilience sites near Rota (7 of 9). Criteria were developed to identify priority sites for six types of management actions (e.g., conservation, land-based sources of pollution reduction, and fishery management and enforcement) and 51 of the 78 sites met at least one of the sets of criteria. The connectivity simulations developed indicate that Tinian and Aguijan are each roughly 10 × the larvae source that Rota is and twice as frequent a destination. These results may explain the lower relative resilience potential of Rota reefs and indicates that actions in Saipan and Tinian/Aguijan will be important to maintaining supply of larvae. The process we describe for undertaking resilience assessments can be tailored for use in coral reef areas globally and applied to other ecosystems.

Résumé : Explorer les questions portant sur la relation entre identitaire et développement dans le contexte post-colonial, c’est aussi mettre en relief les stratégies identitaires des petits États dans la zone américano-caraïbe. Dans l’île de la Dominique, les personnalités des secteurs politique, économique, culturel et éducatif interrogées en 2004 sur cette problématique, font émerger, à travers leurs discours, une conception du progrès fondée sur la cohérence entre identitaire et développement. Eclaircir le rôle de la diaspora dans le projet culturel et économique de la jeune nation dominiquaise (1978), c’est se demander en quoi les returnees peuvent contribuer à l’évolution des représentations idéologiques du progrès dans les anciennes colonies en quête légitime d’un bien-être. L’article souligne cette préoccupation du troisième millénaire à laquelle est confrontée l’humanité : comment mettre au service de l’épanouissement des hommes et des femmes les avancées de la science et de la technologie afin d’assurer avant tout leur mieux-être.
To explore the relations between identity and development in a post-colonial context, also means to put into perspective small states identity strategies in the Caribbean region. In the Commonwealth of Dominica, personalities from the political, economical, cultural and educational sectors interviewed in 2004 on this issue, proposed through their views, an idea of progress based on the coherence between identity and development. To shed light on the role of the diaspora in the cultural and economic project of the young Dominican nation (1978), is to ask how returnees can contribute to the evolution of ideological representations of progress in former colonies which are legitimately seeking welfare. The article focuses on that concern of the third millennium which humankind has to face: how can science and technological advancement be used for the development of men and women in order to first and foremost secure their welfare?
