This article examines the evolution of the institution of the trust from its inception in the Middle Ages, associated with the development of English law, to its use in the field of international law, in particular in international environmental law, mainly through environmental trust funds used to finance the adhesion of developing countries and transition economies to higher standards of environmental protection. In this context, the most remarkable example, the Global Environment Facility, corresponds to a special type of trust whose ultimate beneficiaries are the international community and the future generations.

Overlooked for a long time by social science, the quantitative measurement of racism is now back on track, and raises crucial theoretical and methodological issues. Building on the findings and data of the Trajectories and Origins survey (TeO, Insee-Ined, 2008-2009), this article investigates the contribution and the limits of the survey to the empirical and statistical knowledge of discrimination and racism. It offers explanation about under-reporting of experiences of racism. We provide an overview of quantitative sources about racism in France, and then discuss the main findings from TeO on reported racism by immigrants and second generation. We show the interplay between racism and discrimination and their correlation with experiences of othering. Finally, we develop a discussion on processes of subjective account and consciousness of racism based on the personal characteristics and marks that exposed them to racism.

On the basis of a unique case study, following a qualitative approach, this article studies the cultural dynamics at work in a French multinational established in Cameroon by examining the international mobility policy, as well as the attitudes and behaviors of employees. The results show that cultural universes of meaning are a complementary dimension of intercultural competences that favor a real immersion in the culture of the Other (local employees).
