ABSTRACTBased on a critique of the leading studies on exclusion recently published in France, this article examines the relationship between exclusion and work. It shows that most socio-historical studies on social security tend to overemphasize the role of the state. They thus pay less attention to forms of social solidarity and to demands emerging from labour groups. The article suggests that we increasingly focus on the new types of work organization required in post-industrial society and looks at some of the possible consequences regarding the social link and solidarity.

Development projects aiming at the improvment of women's situation rarely link women's productive and reproductive roles. These are treated separately by international and NGO development agencies, whose aims and methods are sometimes diametrically opposed. In fact, projects « slice up » women, thus resulting in failure. Three essential resources in the production-reproduction relationship are analyzed : time, income and training. Better access to these resources could reduce the gap in question and lead to a greater integration of population and development issues in the daily life of women.

In this paper, using single-country firm-level corruption data, we analyze the effect of corruption on foreign wholly-owned subsidiary survival in an emerging country. Applying an event history analysis to a population of 3 483 wholly-owned subsidiaries in Indonesia over a 33-year period, we test the influence of bribes and indirect taxes on survival. Results show that corruption moderates the hazard rate for young subsidiaries, but this corruption effect disappears for older ones.

Comparing two different stages of the value chain, two levels of luxury products, two types of offshoring destinations, this research provides the first empirical validation of the consequences of offshoring of French luxury brands. According to a sample of 278 consumers of such brands, offshoring of either the design or the manufacturing stage negatively influences perceived quality and overall brand evaluation. However, offshoring does not affect purchase intention. Managers learn how much and under which conditions their brands suffer from offshoring.

AbstractTwo major trends in sociological theory are identified, critical sociology and aseptic sociology, respectively illustrated by the works of Marx and Weber. After bringing out at a descriptive level what is typical of each trend, the author links the two perspectives to the socio-economic evolution of western society over the last one hundred and fifty years. He foresees a return to critical sociology and attempts to justify this orientation for sociology.

In New Caledonia tribes, new socioeconomic practices and environmental management negotiations between Kanak people and the Administration reflect a desire to reappropriate and reformulate their relations to nature and land. The notion of « relations » is indeed central to the recent evolution of environmental law, especially regarding marine territories. Claimed territorial legitimacy, particularly considering land-sea continuity, express the projection of representations and ways of being in the world. They are part of the social order and relations that bind humans to each other, to the invisible world of the ancestors and to non-humans. The involvement of Kanak inhabitants of the coats of the Great South of New Caledonia in marine protected area management arenas and the development of new local socioeconomic activities argue for a paradigm shift in environmental management and conservation: above all, what is at stake is to maintain a way of life, which sustainability lies in the ability of contemporary societies to define meaning and to maintain the relations between humans and with the territory.
