This article draws on cases studies of two citizen groups, one in France and one in Quebec. It follows the reactions and mobilisations of the residents of two low-income neighbourhoods in situations where they consider their safety at risk. Reminding us that demands for security raise issues about how to live together, the analysis finds that the issues are understood differently in France and Quebec. This divergence is more due to the structuration of national political space than the result of differences in the demands themselves. The article calls, therefore, for attention to state-civil society relations.

SummaryThis paper strives to make intelligible those public interventions, which, over a period of nearly forty years (1945-1981), have given structure to the relationships between old age and society. State interventions have, for the most part, gravitated around three major axes: retirement, lifestyle, and employment. Approaching this question by bringing together the essential elements of French public policy has made it possible to distinguish three periods, each of which correspond to a different combination of these three dimensions. By recreating the play of antagonistic or complementary social forces responsible for the generation of public interventions in each case, it has been possible to demonstrate that the way issues relating to old age are managed in the public sector reflects, at any particular historical moment, the type of relationship, in perpetual tension and transformation, between the order of the State and the order of social relations. By laying bare the action systems which are at the heart of the development and evolution of policies relating to old age, the author has attempted, in conclusion, to identify some of the mechanisms which have engendered what we refer to today as the crisis of the Welfare State.

AbstractFrom 1990 on, public policy analysis has progressively been introduced into the field of Africanism. Along with such development, however, comes a controversy : the relevance of that specific mode of study of the management and regulation of societies would not be pertinent with regards to Africa. Indeed, this continent would symbolize the absence of political power institutionalization ; disorder would appear as a more adequate mode of regulation. This contribution will emphasize, on the contrary, that such an approach substantially enlarges the political approach of Africanism.

This paper critically analyses corporatist discourse on the feminization of public relations. It is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the main contentions of the corporatist discourse. Each argument is challenged in an effort to remove the negative connotations from the professionalization of women in public relations. The second part, more historical, shows that, In fact, PR has been from its very beginning a women's field. In conclusion, it is proposed that the contradictions that the PR female pioneers encountered are the same ones that are inherent in the liberal claims upon which the corporatist discourse on the feminization of public relations is based.
