ABSTRACTThe Canadian dollar is presently (1990) overvalued. The Canadian authorities should let it depreciate promptly to a level of 78 to 80 US cents, and then keep it firmly within this range. The general case is based on modern monetary theory and history. Specific criticisms of the Bank of Canada's defense of flexible exchange rates complete the argument.

The Roma are the sole people in Europe (still) having a living customary law system. In this article, we intend to explore and to analyse the hypostases of the interaction between the customary law of the Roma in Romania and the Romanian law system. To do so, we will first briefly present the theoretical framework guiding our analytical demarche, namely normative pluralism. Then, we will present the main differences between the two legal orders in relation with the two modes of social and political organization. Finally, we will sketch and explore the three hypostases of the interaction between the Roma customary law and the Romanian state law — the official non-coplanarity, the marginal intersection and the exceptional subordination.

Creativity, in various forms, proves to be a crucial factor of development and performance of SMEs. It appears interesting to identify the processes of creativity in exacerbated contexts. One of these contexts is that of hypergrowth (HG) SMEs, in which the rhythm of development invites the company to exploit its resources in a permanent urgency. We privileged an organizational view of creativity in order to raise two questions : which are the conditions favoring creativity in HG SMEs ? Is creativity enough to generate, then to maintain rapid growth ? Data resulting from ten case studies, adding up 48 interviews are mobilized to answer these questions. A work of location in these talks of the principal terms related to creativity is carried out, supplemented by the examination of secondary sources which made it possible to know in-depth the studied cases. Two central results concerning creativity in HG SME are proposed : (1) The leader plays a central role to organize the conditions favoring creativity ; (2) Creativity is necessary, but nonsufficient. Hypergrowth requires creativity processes to be curbed by processes of stabilization/rationalization. Then, that hypergrowth is generated by the paradoxical management of the couple creativity-routine.

With extremely different federal, national and local situations, it is interesting to note that some public institutions - universities, museums, research centres, associations - are doing their best to integrate staff and members of the public who are excluded from their activities. Transnational practices and knowledge are tending to emerge from the perspective of Agenda 21 for culture, cultural rights and the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.
