How can this surge in popularity be explained? Has the new science of human behaviour now become the barometer of our conduct and our lives, taking the place previously occupied by psychoanalysis? Rather than asking if neuronal man will replace social man or how to surmount the opposition between the biological and the social, The Mechanics of Passions uncovers hidden relationships between global social ideals and specialized concepts of neuroscience and cognitive science. Proposing a historical sociology situated in the dual contexts of the history of sciences and the history of self-representation, Alain Ehrenberg describes the conditions through which cognitive neuroscience has developed and acquired a strong moral authority in our individualistic society permeated by ideas, values, and norms of autonomy. Cognitive neuroscience offers the promise of turning personal limitations into assets by exploring an individual's "hidden potential." The Mechanics of Passions identifies this as the echo of social ideals of autonomy, affirming that the moral authority of cognitive neuroscience stems as much from cultural norms as from any results of scientific or medical experimentation.Cognitive neuroscienceCognitive neuroscience.612.8233Ehrenberg Alain241908Lund CraigMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794344903321The mechanics of passions3750779UNINA04788oam 22011174 450 991078840600332120230828235740.01-4623-6997-91-4527-7233-91-283-51559-81-4519-0983-79786613828040(CKB)3360000000443732(EBL)3014379(SSID)ssj0000942107(PQKBManifestationID)11514432(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000942107(PQKBWorkID)10964509(PQKB)11583457(OCoLC)712989258(MiAaPQ)EBC3014379(IMF)WPIEE2006270(EXLCZ)99336000000044373220020129d2006 uf 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrMaking Fiscal Space Happen : Managing Fiscal Policy in a World of Scaled-Up Aid /Xavier Debrun, Peter Heller, Theo Thomas, Menachem Katz, Isabell Adenauer, Taline KoranchelianWashington, D.C. :International Monetary Fund,2006.1 online resource (55 p.)IMF Working Papers"December 2006."1-4518-6530-9 ""Contents""; ""ACRONYMS""; ""I.

INSTITUTIONAL APPROACHES TO FACILITATE FISCAL MANAGEMENT WITH SCALED-UP AID FLOWS""; ""V. CONCLUSIONS""; ""REFERENCES""Debt relief and the scaling up of aid to low-income countries should allow for greater fiscal space for expenditure programs to create long-term growth and lower poverty rates. But designing a suitable medium-term fiscal framework that fosters a sustainable delivery of better public services and infrastructure while maintaining a credible commitment to fiscal prudence confronts many challenges. This paper discusses what low-income countries can do to shape fiscal policy frameworks that are ambitious in trying to absorb additional aid while still ensuring longer-term sustainability for government expenditure programs and finances. It suggests what approaches can be used to manage the greater fiscal policy risks associated with a scaled-up aid environment, including coordination with monetary policy. The paper also discusses what institutional changes are needed if donors and countries are to facilitate the implementation of a higher level of aid-financed spending programs.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2006/270Fiscal policyFinance, PublicBudgetingimfExports and ImportsimfPublic FinanceimfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralimfNational BudgetimfBudget SystemsimfFiscal PolicyimfForeign AidimfPublic finance & taxationimfBudgeting & financial managementimfMacroeconomicsimfInternational economicsimfExpenditureimfBudget planning and preparationimfFiscal policyimfPublic financial management (PFM)imfAid flowsimfExpenditures, PublicimfBudgetimfFinance, PublicimfEconomic assistanceimfTanzania, United Republic ofimfFiscal policy.Finance, Public.BudgetingExports and ImportsPublic FinanceNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralNational BudgetBudget SystemsFiscal PolicyForeign AidPublic finance & taxationBudgeting & financial managementMacroeconomicsInternational economicsExpenditureBudget planning and preparationFiscal policyPublic financial management (PFM)Aid flowsExpenditures, PublicBudgetFinance, PublicEconomic assistanceDebrun Xavier1464155Heller Peter153472Thomas Theo1574023Katz Menachem1574024Adenauer Isabell1574025Koranchelian Taline1485186DcWaIMFBOOK9910788406003321Making Fiscal Space Happen3850031UNINA
