In French secondary education, classroom exclusion is a routine treatment of disciplinary problems which contributes to school dropout. This article looks at the teaching practice of excluding students from class and their charge through school life services in three priority education middle-schools. It is based on interviews with the stakeholders of these institutions and on classroom and school life observations. The results reveal that this practice contributes to the construction of deviant careers for students. In light of this process that encourages student drop out, inclusive educational practices are discussed, especially regarding initial teacher training.

The classic approach to agency theory reduces the family business to the simple figure of a owner-manager for whom conflicts of interest do not exist. Recent work has shown that it is in fact a more complex organisational form built around the network that constitutes the family, and is based on the figure of the founding entrepreneur. We explain from a theoretical point of view how an inheritance may cause imbalance in the family, which is likely to erode the family capital and diminish the associated benefits thereof. We derive from the afore-mentioned, managerial implications and prospects for future research.

The aim of the article is to explore the distribution of patterns of domestic work in couples according to spouses' employment situations in three metropolitan areas: New York, Paris and Tokyo. These cities belong to countries with similar level of socio-economic development, while they are located in different institutional contexts and societal structures. Based on the theoretical frameworks of “welfare-state” and “family models”, and using an international time-use survey conducted in 2007 among middle and upper class couples living in the conurbations of New York, Paris and Tokyo, we can point out significant results at three levels: a less unequal situation in the United States than in other countries with a higher parity of spouses' domestic investments regardless of their professional activity; a greater proximity between Parisian and Tokyo couples in terms of sharing domestic working time while the former are closer to New Yorkers by their characteristics; Finally, it is in the conservative welfare states, such as Japan and France, that both the temporal availability of spouses and the contribution of each to household income weigh the most on the actual distribution of domestic activity.

SummaryThis article presents a brief appraisal of the last thirty years of the United Nations (UN) engagement on women's issues. It examines recent debates amongst international women's movements concerning the strategic benefits and dangers of a fifth UN conference on women in 2005. This article concludes that these discussions reveal a crisis among international women's movements. This crisis is linked to internal factors (such as demobilisation, depolitisation and lack of representativeness) and external factors, such as an international political context where there is a risk of backlash against women's rights. This article also highlights some solutions to this crisis.
