Part II of the publication provides an overview of the world electricity developments in 2012 covering world electricity and heat production, input fuel mix, supply and consumption, and electricity imports and exports. A greater focus is given to the 34 OECD countries with more detailed information covering production, installed capacity, input energy mix to electricity and heat production, consumption, electricity trades, input fuel prices and end-user electricity prices.
Part III of the publication provides a corresponding statistical overview of developments in the world and OECD electricity and heat market for 2012, as well as monthly OECD production and trade electricity data for 2013.

It provides comprehensive statistical details on overall energy consumption, economic indicators, electricity and heat production by energy form and plant type, electricity imports and exports, sectoral energy and electricity consumption, as well as prices for electricity and electricity input fuels for each country and regional aggregate.
This volume contains data on the supply and consumption of coal, oil, gas, electricity, heat, renewables and waste presented as comprehensive energy balances expressed in million tonnes of oil equivalent. Complete data are available for 2012 and 2013 as well as provisional data for the most recent year (i.e. 2014). Historical tables summarise data on production, trade and final consumption by sector as well as key energy and economic indicators. The book also includes definitions of products and flows, explanatory notes on the individual country data and conversion factors from original units to energy units.
Anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) continues to be a dynamic subject area. Dirty money has again been revised and expanded to keep pace with international developments over recent years, and this is the fourth edition.
Since the third edition, all countries in the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and MONEYVAL, the Council of Europe's primary AML/CFT monitoring arm, have been subject to detailed evaluation under the 2003 FATF recommendations. This edition explains how the interdependent network of global assessment bodies works to identify countries which pose threats to the global financial system. The European Union's third directive has been brought into force since the last edition and its provisions are fully analysed. This edition also explains how the most recent Council of Europe treaty in this area, the Warsaw convention, which came into force in 2008, can assist states to achieve more effective money laundering investigations and prosecutions, as well as deterrent confiscation orders.
This book, as with the previous editions, is designed for a wide audience, not only actors in national AML/CFT systems in both the public and private sectors, but also all those who simply wish to be better informed about how the international community continues to fight these truly global threats.

Outre l'évolution démographique à long terme, les systèmes européens de sécurité sociale sont confrontes à de nouveaux défis en raison du durcissement de la concurrence mondiale et d'un système bancaire international axé sur les profits financiers à court terme. Ce rapport explore donc de nouvelles pistes permettant aux responsables politiques et aux institutions européennes de pérenniser les systèmes de sécurité sociale. Il examine les options assurant une viabilité financière à court et à long terme. Il recense également les principaux mécanismes favorisant la cohésion sociale, comme l'accent mis sur les droits sociaux et le dialogue social. il étudie ensuite les principales questions politiques qui se posent dans les grands domaines de la sécurité sociale, comme les soins de santé, l'assistance sociale et les prestations familiales, les pensions, les prestations de chômage et d'incapacité professionnelle, et les soins de longue durée.
Following the 2008 OECD review of education policies in the Dominican Republic, the examining team was tasked to assess the condition of higher education in the Dominican Republic, to evaluate policies for higher education and research, and to identify future policy options to help meet the nation's needs.
Against the background report prepared by the Dominican authorities and information supplied in meetings in the course of site visits, this OECD report provides an analysis of the higher education sector within the economic, social and political context of the Dominican Republic. It looks into access, quality and relevance, the effectiveness and governance of the system, its financing as well as its research and innovation capacity. The report concludes with a list of pragmatic recommendations for policy action.

L' analyse statistique approfondie des pays de l'Union européenne montre que, depuis 2004, l'Europe progresse en lien social mais pas enperformance. Or, le vivre ensemble n'est durable que s'il produit également du réussir ensemble : si l'intégration de nouveaux pays au sein de l'Union produit d'abord de la solidarité, celle-ci n'est tenable à long terme que si la performance globale progresse également en parallèle.En 2005, les Irlandais, les Néerlandais et les Français ont dit non à la constitution européenne. Ont-ils rejeté l'Europe ou les mécanismes d'élaboration de la décision publique ? S'ils étaient consultés sur leur propre constitution, peut-être diraient-ils aussi non, car le citoyen ne veut plus aujourd'hui seulement avoir une voix, il veut aussi la parole. C'est la démocratie représentative qui atteint ses limites : il devient nécessaire de lui adjoindre la démocratie citoyenne.
The OECD's Development Assistance Committee (DAC) conducts periodic reviews of the individual development co-operation efforts of DAC members. The policies and programmes of each member are critically examined approximately once every five years. DAC peer reviews assess the performance of a given member, not just that of its development co-operation agency, and examine both policy and implementation. They take an integrated, system-wide perspective on the development co-operation and humanitarian assistance activities of the member under review.
