With the marginalization of Africa in international trade, previous models for operationalizing relations with Europe have become obsolete. There is increasingly a trend towards uncoupling between North Africa, the Republic of South Africa, and Black Africa. North Africa has broken away to the point of regarding itself as a hinterland of Europe. South Africa is likely to become both a crossroads and a transit point in trade between Europe, Africa, and the Pacific region. In Black Africa, the only current scenarios for reconnection with the rest of the world seem to amount to pointing out this subregion's capability to do harm if it were ever abandoned.

Nationalist policies and international politics inform the economic value and social capital attributed to varieties of Tamil taught as different heritage languages in Indian and Sri Lankan community schools and across French and English-medium public schools in Montreal, Quebec. In reimagining the local sociolinguistic division of labour between francophone and anglophone educational domains, Indian immigrants and Sri Lankan refugees pursue alternative sources of funding and institutional partnerships to implement two distinct heritage language education curricula in this city. Sri Lankans seek to preserve a literary style of Tamil to serve as a repository of their patrimony and validate claims of cultural authenticity, whereas Indians seek to modernize colloquial styles of Tamil that promise them access to new markets, facilitate speakers' mobility, and affirm their claims of global modernity. Articulating these different valuations of a minority language exposes the competitive and collaborative dynamics of neoliberalism.

AbstractDrug trafficking is a poorly identified sociological object, even though its development feeds debates about crime, in France as in the majority of Western countries. This ambiguity, resulting from ideological and institutional as well as methodological factors, also translates the complexity of the social forms of trafficking, which are too often reduced to their most simple expression. Two sources of heterogeneity can be described: the heterogeneity of the trafficking on one side, and the heterogeneity of its treatment by the legal system on the other. This article discusses large scale trafficking, that is to say, the hybrid forms little explored between multinational drug trafficking and trade on the street. The author attempts to show the difference between the practices considered in their individual, organisational and social complexity, and their construction by the practices of the police officers and magistrates, including their more total interpretation in legal language, themselves determined by the evolution of the new procedures and policies.
