This article aims to question the development of territorialized insertion devices from the concept of partnership. The latter is mobilized by public action as a managerial tool. Indeed, territorialization of social policy has produced a form of institutionalization of local actors involved. From longitudinal studies conducted in the Brussels-Capital Region, we believe that this process confiscates the democratic debate to operate in consensual fashion while a system of competition between the “private” social intervention associations and the parapublic sector appears.

AbstractIn spite of a legal framework hostile to cultural pluralism, dynamic mobilizations with regard to regional languages take place in France. This paradox is examined through the mechanisms of institutionalization of a linguistic policy in Brittany, which permits to understand the role of the law when it is seized by the collective action generated by territories. The implementation of the pays indicates that the linguistic issue is weakly perceived by the main actors of the territories, the “élus.” This evokes the importance of the collective action in the institutionalization of the law, but also the weak prospects for democratic governance in France.

An entrenched Bill of Rights, it is maintained, would be of benefit not only to individuals and groups but also to provincial governments generally, because the same standards would apply at the federal as well as the provincial level. Such a Bill should include certain effective protections lacking in the present Canadian Bill of Rights. The protection of civil liberties by way of the division of powers has favoured the enhancement of federal power and has worked to the disadvantage of the provinces. What is proscribed at the provincial level is permitted at the federal level. In effect, although the provincial persecution and prosecution of Communists and Jehovah's Witnesses are well known, particularly because of their appearances before the courts, similar legislative and administrative policies on the part of the federal Government and Parliament have not surfaced as clearly in the Canadian constitutional process or history. This is also true as concerns the treatment of Asiatics. The formulation of the safeguards to be included in a Bill of Rights raises the question as to their scope and application. The present Canadian Bill of Rights has given rise to the situation where the act of an official, such as a police officer, is not subject to the provisions of the Bill whereas the legislative enactment that authorizes the act is so subject. An efficient Bill of Rights would control such acts as well as laws. Lastly, it is suggested that there is a general consensus in Canada as to the essential contents of a Bill of Rights. In dealing with emergency situations, the federal Government should have the burden of proving that an emergency exists and that restrictions imposed on specific civil liberties are required. At present the person contesting the invocation of the War Measures Act or other emergency legislation has the almost impossible task of proving that an emergency does not in fact exist.

The interdependence of metropolitan areas and their suburban peripheries reflects a close relationship with economic activity. With reference to the Côtière and Plaine de l'Ain areas located to the east of the Lyon metropolitan area in France, this article discuss suburbanization from the perspective of the capacity of local political actors to emancipate from metropolitan dependence. By formulating the theoretical proposition of "peri-urban regimes". This paper seeks to characterise the game of actors in suburban territories within the dominant economic inter-territoriality of metropoles. These actors seek to construct a specific agenda by institutional arrangements, economic development and urban planning.
