The Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CÉMAC) was founded in 1994, almost at the same period during which the World Trade Organisation (WTO) was founded. The aim of the CÉMAC was to intensify regional trade amongst its Member States. This regional organisation has elaborated a community customs law that deals with the sharing of competences between the institutions of the community and the Member States. It also organises the customs clearance procedure and the rules of customs dispute settlement. It is proven that the customs rules of CÉMAC meet the WTO rules on customs valuation. But the overall implementation of customs rules by the customs administrations of the Member States is not uniform. This lack of uniformity does not meet provisions of the GATT 1994.

AbstractAbstractKinship Reorganization in thé United States after Divorce and RemarriageThis article reviews thé processes of kinship reorganization following divorce and remarriage. Fifty divorces were selected from public divorce records in Northern California middle-class suburbs. Families were contacted at thé time thé divorce was finalized, and both thé divorcing parents and their parents were interviewed several times over a four-year period. Four theoretical and empirical frameworks from anthropology are used in thé following to analyze thé findings : 1) thé cultural and semiotic analysis of thé définitions and meanings of relationships with both former and current relatives acquired or lost through divorce and remarriage ; 2) a structural linguistic analysis of thé duality of oppositions that resuit in cleavages and coalitions in in-law relationships throughout thé process ; 3) thé nature and cultural roots in parental rôles that resulted in peripheral rôles of fathers ; and 4) ritual processes that function as tension-reducing mechanisms when former and présent relatives must meet.Key words : Johnson, divorce, remarriage, kinship reorganization, United States of America

The thesis of this paper is twofold. First of all I contend, along with Ferguson and Fondas, that the management profession is involved in a process of feminization, whereby qualities traditionally associated with women are spreading to both management theory and managerial practice. Fondas has suggested that recent American thinking on management is feminizing the occupation, and this paper sets out to examine this hypothesis. A qualitative inductive flexible design study of 50 senior, middle and first-line managers in public and private organisations in Quebec finds support for the feminization thesis. Secondly, I introduce the metaphor of emotional spacetime as a new sociological concept for understanding the emotional dynamics of managerial work. I argue that this concept affords a useful and original organizational perspective from which to vision the process of feminization. Finally I reflect on the significance of this theoretical development for the interrelation of the feminine, emotions and management in both discourse and practice. From the perspective of emotional spacetime, emotions are resources, not destiny.
