The paper provides an overview of the potential social, economic and environmental impacts of an EU-Libya FTA as gauged by the EU-Libya Sustainability Impact Assessment (SIA). The main potential benefits to both the EU and Libya from the proposed trade agreement come from closer cooperation in the energy sector rather than from the economy-wide effects of reducing trade barriers. The agreement may also have significant adverse effects that need to be taken into account.

Les conseillers prud’hommes en audience sont des juges non professionnels qui détiennent un mandat de leur organisation syndicale ou professionnelle. Ils s’inscrivent à l’intersection du champ judiciaire, du champ syndical et du monde du travail. Si le moment de l’interrogatoire leur permet de rappeler qu’ils sont des juges comme les autres, à la recherche de la vérité, il les autorise aussi à mettre en scène leur identité de représentant syndical ou patronal et à promouvoir leur expertise du monde du travail. Articulant savoir juridique, savoir-faire syndical et connaissances de terrain, les conseillers prud’hommes montrent en acte ce qu’ils incarnent : une justice du travail rendue par des pairs.

This study assesses the effectiveness of different administrative models of US foreign assistance, with a unique focus on one that hypothetically channels more DFA-administered funds through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC). The study finds several limitations with this model, and so discounts the assumption that because the MCC is a fairly effective instrument of foreign assistance simply expanding it as is would spread its benefits on a larger scale. With some additions to its framework, however, the model may be quite effective and both politically and economically feasible.
