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.

An ancient institution, the kafala, is an important means of protection for the child deprived of a family, which has been implemented in different ways in Islamic countries. Unprecedented in Quebec, this particular institution concerns professionals, lawyers and legal experts as to its exact nature, effects and consequences. It has thus been frequently used as a convenient expedient towards the adoption, by an individual domiciled in the Province, of a Muslim child whose personal status law prohibits adoption. The introduction of kafala challenges the contemporary methodology of conflicts of laws in its capacity to accommodate institutions that are either little known or unknown. With its legal essence that is difficult to grasp, the kafala is usually deemed too original to be integrated in the “adoption” category. Does that really mean we should persist in disregarding its essentiality? The author precisely tries to demonstrate the opposite. Contradictory responses from Quebec law governing international adoptions, divided between an attitude of withdrawal and will for generous opening, suggest a more liberal evolution of private international law rules when challenged with cultural pluralism.

The study on environment and development has driven the development of a university tendency said political ecology. This tendency, which emerges in confrontation or in opposition with cultural human ecology, analyses essentially power and the fight for power in matters of management of the environment. The question of mondialization of speeches and the domination of a small number between them is therefore central. Besides, the governmental logic of public intervention contrasts with this dominant perception of environmental field. It is important now to focus our view on the associative expertise about forest to see the new environmental discourse. Such is the objective of this research on the evaluation of the environmental policy in Cameroon in the forestry zone. Going from discursive analyze in the field of policies, the policy study here reveal opposition between state and civil societies organization specialize in the protection of the forest. The opposition is focus around the problem building and controversies about the growth's gouvernmental program and the sustainable development dispositive. The consequence is the objectivation of the trajectory of the state in action in the other context ant the daily environmental policies in the developing country.
