Resumo: Nesta pesquisa nos propomos a analisar, de modo exploratório, as nove aulas ministradas por Grotowski no Collège de France, entre os anos de 1997 e 1998, dentro do curso A linhagem orgânica no teatro e dentro do ritual. Tendo a questão da organicidade como lente, trabalhamos numa perspectiva de buscar compreender os processos e as noções trazidas por Grotowski, através do estudo e da análise desse material, em associação à trabalhos desenvolvidos por estudiosos de suas obras. Por se tratarem de últimas formulações, as aulas ministradas no Collège de France são valiosas para o entendimento do que foi o trabalho, pesquisa e a vida do artista polonês
Abstract: In this research we propose to analyze, in an exploratory way, the nine classes taught by Grotowski in the Collège de France, between 1997 and 1998, within the course The organic lineage in the theater and within the ritual. Taking the question of organicity as a lens, we work on a perspective of seeking to understand the processes and notions brought by Grotowski, through the study and analysis of this material, in association with the works developed by scholars of his works. Because they are the latest formulations, the classes taught at the Collège de France are valuable for understanding the work, research and life of the Polish artist

Globally, developed economies show the largest gender gaps in entrepreneurial activity. This analysis examines one potential cause of low rates of female entrepreneurship, work-family policies, specifically in France. The objective of this paper is to test whether or not there is a relationship between entrepreneurship and childcare accessibility in France, and if this relationship exists, to learn about its nature. Using data from 2009 to 2013, probit regressions are run for different outcomes of entrepreneurial activity with early childhood care aid eligibility as the explanatory variable of interest. These regressions are run separately for men and women and for the whole sample. This paper does not find conclusive evidence that childcare accessibility significantly affects the probability that one is involved in entrepreneurial activity either for women or for the whole sample. However, it does suggest that if the relationship is significant, childcare aid has a negative impact on the decision for entrepreneurship. Finally, I consider other variables closely correlated with childcare financial aid that may negatively impact involvement in entrepreneurial activity.

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 93-94).
Both finance and construction of major projects have dramatically evolved in the past ten years. Technological breakthrough such as computer orientated design, new cements, new machines have led to a more efficient production process. In the mean time, project financing has been greatly advanced and new techniques have appeared. Large and complex projects have started to be partially funded by the private sector as a result of the will to cut public spending. Indeed, States and governments realized that the returns should be taken more seriously in publicly supported infrastructure projects. To make many projects bankable, new mixes of public-private partnership with new financing schemes have been developed. Financial engineers have developed new securities, backed by the future stream of cash flows generated by the project income. Those securities, enhanced by risk-specialized agencies, will maybe constitute a major innovation and will allow financial engineers to access a new set of investors: small bondholders. This thesis is focused on one such scheme: the financing of the Stade de France.

In this paper, we are going to study the relations between France, the European Unionand the Eurozone. The involvements of France in the European Union and the Eurozone aswell as the effects of the European evolutions in France. As France has played many roles indifferent areas for the European Union, the relations are social, political, juridical andobviously economic. We cannot analyse these relations without interest in the historicalpart, which shows the chronological involvements of France in the EU, from the firstagreement in 1951 to the Treaty of Lisbon in December 2009. Beside this, our analyse needsalso to focus on the European Union as several institutions; as well as the Eurozone and itseconomic consequences in Europe and in France. To do so, we are going to raise monetaryand institutional questions and develop the most important European stakes as theenlargements, the European budget, the common policies and the European institutions.France can be considered as a founding father of the European Union, and in spite ofsome difficulties; both France and the European Union have had positive influences on eachother and the European Union could not have grown in this way without France.

There has been a great deal of cross-border takeover activity in the EU over the past years. This is fortunate since the Commission views the increase of such activity and the ensuing restructuring of firms as vital to implement its aim of making Europe the most competitive economy by 2010. The Commission is concerned, however, by the fact that most Member States still have legal, cultural, or other structures, which either impede or reduce the occurrence of takeovers. The Commission is also concerned that the level of protection afforded to offeree shareholders in the context of takeovers differs from one Member State to another. Indeed, the offeree shareholders in some Member States enjoy a far better protection than their counterparts in other Member States. This thesis analyses these two aspects of takeover regulation from the point of view of the UK and France. The latter countries have had a significant impact upon the drafting of the Directive on takeover bids, as well as of numerous individual European countries' takeover regulations, due to their solid experience with national takeover regulation. It is therefore believed that the comparative analysis of the takeover regimes of these two jurisdictions will offer a better understanding of both the Directive on takeover bids and other European countries' takeover regulations. Such comparative analysis is further believed to offer an insight into how the level of growth of a particular market and the different ownership structures impact upon the rules governing takeovers. This thesis begins by explaining the regulatory framework of takeovers in the UK and France as well as the ownership structures prevailing in these two jurisdictions. It subsequently analyses in a comparative manner the role of the offeree management and the equality of shareholders in these two countries. This thesis concludes with the gradual convergence of takeover regulations in the UK and France and throughout Europe more generally.

Considerable popular, academic and policy debate surrounds the alleged decline in cooking skills within contemporary society, the factors influencing domestic food practices and the impact upon diet and health. Often regarded as a global phenomenon, it appeared pertinent to undertake a cross-cultural comparative analysis and compare current domestic food practices in Britain with France. France was selected because, while it shares many similarities with Britain, it possesses a radically different food culture. The research drew on a range of perspectives and disciplines and the first stage of the fieldwork involved interviewing members of the public in both countries about who cooks what, how, when and why. The second stage asked 'experts' within the policy domain to comment on the emerging narrative and discuss the implications of any 'culinary transitions' for policy development. Both countries have witnessed changes in food supply, and combined with the demands of modern life, have resulted in a decline in cooking. However, food, cooking and eating remains symbolically more significant to French people's cultural identity. A powerful culinary discourse was widely celebrated and frequently articulated by the State to underpin France's national identity. Such attachment to a deep rooted culinary culture has acted as a bulwark against globalising tendencies within the food system. Food related policy in France has supported French food and a 'traditional' daily model of three highly structured meals, often consumed in the company of others. In Britain, uncoordinated policies to promote healthier diets, lifestyles and occasionally cooking have occurred but with little focus on culture. The situation in Britain now demands a strategic approach supported via the state, the community and an understanding of how _ cultural practices, including the ability to cook, underpin how people make the choices they do from their food environment.

Cette étude repose sur des entretiens, une enquête postale, des archives et des observations sur des interactions donnant lieu à la production et aux échanges d'objets semi-clandestins en usine pour comprendre le sens des interactions sociales. Une usine aéronautique française fournit le cadre de l'étude. Ces objets semi-clandestins sont connus sous le nom de perruques et fabriqués sur le temps de travail avec le matériel et les outils de l'employeur pour un usage personnel. Des interactions autour de perruques en apparence similaire et produisant les mêmes effets ont des sens distincts. Ces distinctions découlent du statut des participants et des destinataires des perruques. Dans un contexte d'instabilité pour les compagnons, un sous-groupe en déclin de membres de l'usine, les interactions autour de perruques qui expriment le respect et la reconnaissance permettent de maintenir une identité professionnelle. Ces résultats interrogent le postulat d'uniformité des interactions dans la sociologie de réseau. Ils documentent aussi la construction des notions de moralité et de dignité du travail particulièrement quand une communauté s'éteint
This study relies on interviews, surveys, archival data and observations on interactions leading to the manufacture and exchange of semi-clandestine factory artifacts to gain insight into meanings of social interactions. A French aeronautics factory provides the setting for this study. These semi-clandestine factory artifacts, known in English as "homers", are manufactured on company time with company materiales or tools but for personal use. Similar looking homer interactions with similar looking concrete effects are shown to carry distinct meanings depending on particpants' and recipients' statuses. These variations in meaning gain further salience in the context of heightened identity threats around craftsmen, a dwindling subgroup of factory members. Specifically, homer interactions narrated as conveying respecte and recognition, are shown to sustain the identity of these craftsmen. These findings question assumptions of interaction homogeneity in social network research. They also document ways in which morality and dignity are constructed within given occupational communities, specifically when these communities are disappearing

As globalization is proceeding, it is more and more important to understand effective leadership also in terms of cultural dimensions. This new challenge in the business world has not been approached by scientists in a satisfactory way so far and was the main reason for the conduction of this study.

The aim of this research is to investigate how effective leadership varies between cultures and to state the crucial differences of leadership effectiveness among Sweden, England, France and Germany.

To be able to figure out these differences a research team out of four students and one professor designed a questionnaire which was sent out to employees in the four studied countries. In this questionnaire the subordinates had to assess different behaviours and skills of their direct leader. The different questions belong to a list of predetermined topic groups which were planned to be used afterwards to set the results into connection with existing theories.

The results of this multinational survey offer a general picture about the differences among the average leaders in the four cultures. To be able to make statements about the different importance of leader attributes for effective performance, a statistical evaluation is made. After given the reader a general idea about the gathered data and its composition, the adequateness of the combinations inside the topic groups are revised and some additional topic groups are build up.

The findings of the study are used to discuss and challenge McClelland’s Research on Managerial Motivation and to figure out the different relevance of Katz’ three skill dimensions for each national culture. The difference emphasis of task-, relations- and change oriented behaviour in relation to effective leadership as well as the importance of charismatic leadership for effectiveness is exposed and distinguished for every country. Hofstede’s theory of five cultural dimensions is used to provide the necessary explanation for the cultural differences regarding the different theoretical dimensions.

As an additional theory the GLOBE Project is introduced. Unfortunately, the results of this project were not available on time, so that they could not be compared to the results of the study.

The conclusion at the end of the paper summarizes the general outcome of the thesis and points out the found cultural differences of effective leadership in the four cultures. Charisma and Human skills were found to be important for effective leadership in all countries. However, for effective German leaders it is concluded to possess more technical skills as in the other cultures and to have a higher need of achievement. Controlling employees is much more important in Germany than anywhere else. In England the need of achievement is also higher than in France and Sweden. Effective French leaders have the strongest socialized power orientation. For Sweden no big difference to the others countries could be found. Effective Swedish manager mostly possess a good mixture of the different skills, needs and behaviours suggested in the theory, but were not outstanding significantly in one dimension in comparison to the other three countries. In total, a high concern for relations is concluded for them.

En France comme en Thaïlande, le juge apparaît comme un intervenant incontournable du procès pénal. Alors que traditionnellement la procédure pénale française était qualifiée d’inquisitoire où le juge joue un rôle actif et la procédure pénale thaïlandaise était qualifiée d’accusatoire où le juge joue un rôle passif, aujourd’hui, la procédure pénale dans les deux systèmes emprunte aux deux conceptions qui est manifestement mixte. Cependant le système mixte dans les deux pays loin de présenter un visage uniforme, la procédure pénale dans les deux pays se différencie selon la dose d’inquisitoire ou d’accusatoire qui le caractérise. En effet, le rôle du juge en France reste différent de celui en Thaïlande, d’où l’intérêt et le défi de la comparaison. La première partie de la thèse a pour objet l’étude comparative du cadre général de l’organisation judiciaire. Cette étude concerne tout d’abord les organisations des juridictions pénales et la composition des juridictions. Nous étudierons ensuite les règles relatives aux modalités de recrutement, puis le statut du juge dans les deux systèmes. La seconde partie est consacrée à l’étude comparative du rôle du juge judiciaire dans la procédure pénale. La comparaison porte d’abord sur le rôle du juge dans la phase préparatoire ensuite le rôle du juge dans la phase décisoire. Tout au long de cette recherche, nous étudierons également les nombreuses réformes apportées aux structures judiciaires dans les deux pays. Cette étude comparée des systèmes français et thaïlandais relative au rôle du juge pénal aboutit à un échange d’expériences entre les deux différents systèmes juridiques
In France, similar to Thailand, the judge appears as a key role in a criminal trial. Traditionally, the French criminal procedure was described as an inquisitorial system where the judge plays an active role whereas the Thai criminal procedure was depicted as an adversarial system where the judge plays a passive role. Presently, the concepts of the criminal proceedings in these two systems have seemingly mingled. However, the somewhat mixed system is still far from presenting a uniformity in criminal proceedings between the two countries due to the difference between inquisitorial and adversarial system which characterizes it. Indeed, the role of the judge in France is distinct from that in Thailand, thus, induced to the interest and the challenge of the comparison.The first part of this thesis is to study the comparative framework of the judiciary. This study firstly relates to the organizations of criminal courts and composition of the courts. We then study the rules on recruitment procedures and the status of judges in the two systems. The second part is devoted to the comparative study on the role of the judge in the criminal proceedings. This comparison focuses on the judge's role in stages both before and after trial. Throughout this research, we will also study a number of law reforms regarding the judiciary structures of both countries.This comparative study of French and Thai systems on the role of criminal court judge leads to an exchange of experiences between the two different legal systems

Анотація:

The movement of labour from the less developed countries of southern Europe and North Africa to the industrial economiesof northern Europe in the 1960s and 1970s, has led to a migrant populationof some 15 million in these countries. Poduguese labour migration to France has been part of this wider movement, and the Portuguese are one of the largest migrant groups, representing over one fifth of the estimated four millionmigrants in France. Ambivalenceas to the migrants' status and future is considerable on the level of policy, in the literature concerning these labour migrations, and among the migrants themselves: the uncertainty is whether the phenomenonis one of settlement and permanent immigration or of temporary migration and ultimately the return of migrants to their countries of origin. Takingthe case of Portuguese migrants in Grenoble, this thesis explores the intentions of Portuguese migrant workers in France to return to Portugal. In part this may be seen as a prior intention, consistent with the migrants' initial plans to benefit from the employment opportunities and better pay abroad, and to earn as much money as possible in a short time, in order to be able to return to Portugal. I describe precedents for this kindof a return migration in Portugal's extensive emigration history. However, this return orientation in migration cannot be seen only as the continuity of a cultural form, or as occurring in France in an ideological vacuum. The intention to return to Portugal, which implies a limited commitment to France, and a reference to Portuguese conditions and values, is fundamental in the migrants' tolerance of generally disadvantageous conditions, particularly of employment, in France, and thereby an aspect of the migrants' continuing usefulness there. The migrants' differentiation from the French workforce is in some respects beneficial to French society, and the migrants' economic, political and social marginality is reinforced and perpetuated on an ideologicallevel, by ltgislation, and in a variety of ways in evtryday pratice. Cultural differences may be cultivated, and there is an involuntary aspect to the migrants' marginality and the return orientation. For these reasons I have stressed tht broader political and economic forces in labour migration as the context which acts on the migrants and within which they must act. Yet for many migrants, the intention to return to Portugal is more than a passive response to their vulnerable postition in French society or a product of the ideology of the dominant society. While we are dealing with a subjective intention to return rather than actual returns, this is a dynamic element of migrant identity and culture in France, full of tensions but with great symbolic importance as well as far-reaching practical implications for their lives and the nature of their participation in French life. This is particularly the case for many of the older generation of migrants aged between 30-50. Their return orientation is often accompaniedby an adherence to what they see as 'Portuguese' values and culture, the forms and expressions of which I consider; it is also associated with the maintenance of social and economio links with Portugal, distinctive savings and consumption patterns, a steady flow of remittances, and by a perception of migration as temporary even after 20 or more years' residence in France. The return orientation is central among many Portuguese migrants in France, not just as a latent desire, but as a system of meaning and a structuring principle in every day life; plans to return not only justify migration in tht long term, but are a priority which is used to organise and give coherence to the migrants' daily strategies and choices. TM maintenance of an alternative value system, an identity, and options aside from those that conditions in France impose on them, gives the migrants a certain autonomy despite the constraints of their situation

This work consists in a theoretical overview of positioning theory, the construction of a methodology for interaction analysis, and its application to classroom interaction. The latter part is based on transcripts from audio-video recordings of 15 hours of lessons in mathematics and physics or science in England and in France, with children aged between 11 and 12. These transcripts were divided up into episodes, units displaying coherence in theme and purpose; and each episode was coded according to the types of behaviour the teacher displayed in them. The same types of behaviour were found in plenary interaction as those found by previous research into group work. Analysis carried out to highlight co-occurring types of behaviour (seen as rights and duties) only yielded two co-occurring rights – asking a scientific question and validating a statement, consistently with the previously noted prevalence of IRE/IRF sequences. A frequency analysis of the levels of occurrence of individual types of behaviour highlighted the scarcity of unsupported teacher statements. Further analysis of the episodes featuring teacher statements showed that the teacher may only introduce new elements on the basis of their own authority in highly specific circumstances: (a) after a student’s mistake, in which case the teacher’s statement is limited to explaining why the aforementioned mistake is one; (b) after a student’s question or (c) after a student’s unsolicited statement. In the last two cases, the teacher’s statement may go beyond the remit of the question or statement. Content introduced in such a way appears to have a longer-lasting legitimacy than that introduced with the help of official content. Some implications of these results are discussed: the need to take into account student agency in further research; and it is suggested that a lecturing style of teaching might be beneficial for learning.

This thesis will explore the concept of social equality in education in relation to France and England within their historical contexts from 1789 to 1939. It will compare and contrast how both countries have gone about reducing social inequality in education. The thesis will emphasise the importance of the ideological legacy at the heart of both systems for understanding this i.e. Republicanism in France and Liberalism in England. French education emphasises equality and secularism. This is a legacy from the French Revolution, which brought the state centre stage in education. It also emphasises unity since Napoleon imposed a unified framework for its administration. In France these characteristics of centralism, unity and secularism have been perceived as offering the best possibility of providing equality of opportunity for all pupils regardless of social background, religion, ethnicity or geographical location. Equality was not a founding principle of English education, as it was in France; the concept evolved more pragmatically as a way of dealing with the more unfair aspects of the system. Liberalism with its values of freedom and diversity and the political and economic doctrine of laissez-faire have had the most enduring influence on English education The method of enquiry undertaken in this thesis will be drawn from comparative historical sociology. It uses comparative historical analysis to understand the variation in how both countries have gone about reducing educational inequality and why a discourse of egalitarianism is stronger in French than in English education. Three factors: persistence of ideology, social-class alliances and the nature of the state are put forward to explain the variation between both countries in relation to social equality in education. The final section of the thesis reflects on how the histories of both countries have impacted on their current education systems.

This study is a design and delivery of a comprehensive re-entry training program which has been implemented to meet the needs of returning French engineering grande ecole undergraduate sojourners. With particular attention to the historical and specific character of a grande ecole's interdependent relationship with industry and professional training as an integral part of the educational design, this program has been specifically conceived as a semiautonomous, in-house institute for advanced intercultural training and studies with the combined aims of a) meeting the immediate and longer-term needs of returning sojourners and b) enhancing intercultural awareness at the school generally. This study focuses specifically on the re-entry program delivered by the newly created Winter Institute of Intercultural Communication (WIIC) as the capstone innovation in the broader developmental curriculum redesign scheme for grande ecole students. The Institute now provides the necessary re-entry follow up after an extensive pre-departure training program and six months experience abroad as well as providing a workshop for moving on to more advanced levels of intercultural communication issues.

This thesis examines the role of Calais in the early Tudor state, 1485-1547. From 1453 until 1558 Calais was the last English possession in France. I will reexamine the town and marches within the context of the development of the early Tudor state and the transition from the medieval to the early modern period. It is clear that the importance of Calais to the early Tudors has been underestimated by historians. The central theme of the thesis is the growth of effective royal government under the early Tudors. This is set in the historiographical framework of the 'new monarchy' and the 'Tudor revolution in government'. Themes such as the relationship between the centre and the periphery; the organisation of royal finance; the role of the king, the court and his ministers in government; the defence of the realm and foreign policy are explored with reference to specific political and administrative changes in Calais. The thesis is divided into five chapters. The first examines the role of Calais within the late medieval English polity. It shows how, by proper management of the wool trade that was channelled through the town, Calais became a central pillar of late medieval finance and thus a place of prime political importance during the fifteenth century. The second chapter analyses the developing role of Calais in the early Tudor polity and the growth of royal authority in the town that helped maintain its continued importance. The third chapter explores the office-holding class in Calais and considers the roles of the king's affinity and his household in the government of the realm. The fourth chapter describes the defence of Calais under the early Tudors and the transition from the bastard feudal retinue to the professional army loyal only to the king. The final chapter reassesses the finances of Calais and the role that the town played in the organisation of the crown's resources as a whole.

Le sport est reconnu, par un nombre croissant de sociologues, comme un moyen heuristique de compréhension du social contemporain. Au cours de l'année 2007, l'institution sportive a été confrontée à une situation particulière. En effet, Oscar Pistorius, un athlète double amputé tibial appareillé, participe à des compétitions dites de « valides » (meetings internationaux d'athlétisme). La singularité de cette situation génère des controverses médiatisées à propos de la légitimité de sa participation. L'étude de cas, fondée sur une approche « pragmatique », vise à mettre en évidence ce que ces controverses révèlent du sport dans les sociétés contemporaines. L'analyse des discours médiatiques à propos de Pistorius montre que cet athlète pose un problème de catégorisation sportive. En effet, d'une part, les performances qu'il produit le distinguent de la catégorie « sportif handicap » et semblent permettre de l'intégrer dans la catégorie « athlète valide ». Mais d'autre part, son appareillage empêche d'entériner cette classification sportive. Malgré le verdict du Tribunal Arbitral du Sport qui l'autorise à participer à toute compétition d'athlétisme, la persistance des controverses témoigne du fait que la situation de Pistorius marque une rupture de l'intelligibilité sportive. Cette situation doit alors être comprise comme une monstruosité, au sens foucaldien du terme, car elle met en échec les définitions nécessaires pour penser le sport. Remettant en question les fondements de l'institution sportive, la situation controversée de Pistorius révèle ainsi la manière avec laquelle le sport met en ordre les athlètes. Plus précisément, cette monstruosité donne à voir l'incapacité de l'institution sportive à prendre en charge la différence radicale des corps performants appareillés
Sport is acknowledged, by an increasing number of sociologists, as an heuristic way to understand contemporary societies. During year 2007, sports institution was faced up to a particular situation. Indeed, Oscar Pistorius, a double legs amputated athlete with artificial lower limbs, takes part in « able bodied » competitions (international athletics meetings). The singularity of this situation causes media covered controversies regarding legitimacy of his involvement. The study of this case, based on a « pragmatic » approach, highlighting what those controversies show from sport in contemporary societies.The analysis of media speeches about Pistorius reveals that this athlete poses a sports categorization problem. Indeed, on the one hand, the performances he produces distinguishes between him and « disabled athlete » category and seems to allow to put him in the « able bodied » one. But, on the other hand, his artificial limbs prevent from validating this sports classification. Despite the verdict of the Court of Arbitration for Sport which autorises him to take part in all athletics competitions, the persistence of controversies shows that Pistorius’ situation gives a breach of sports understandability. Then, this situation has to be understood like a monstrousness, in the Foucaldian sense of the word, because it messes up the required definitions to think sport. Challenging sports institution basis, thus the disputed pistorius’ situation reveals the way in which sport sets athletes in order. More exactly, this monstrousness proves sport inability to take charge of the efficient fited bodies radical difference

Title: Recreating Meaning Through Cultural Investments – A Case Study of Volvo IT in France Swedish Title: Återskapa Mening Genom Kulturella Investeringar – En Fallstudie av Volvo IT i Frankrike Authors: Pegah Esmaeili and Filip Holmdahl Tutor: Lena Andersson Background For what reasons do organizations invest in culture? Could it be seen as an initiative from management to create some form of control and to manage the reality of employees? A company that systematically is working and investing in their organizational culture is Volvo IT by creating a cultural network consisting of a Cultural Manager, Cultural Navigators and Cultural Ambassadors. The question is if the rest of the organization share the efforts made in these investments? This thesis will investigate if the investments made by the management, to manage a wanted meaning, are shared by the lower level personnel.Purpose To create an improved understanding between managements strive, through cultural investments, to recreate and manage a wanted meaning and how the employees perceive these investments. Method The empirical data was collected through interviews and ethnographical observations at Volvo IT in Lyon. This study takes on an explorative inception by looking at if a company putting lots of effort into their organizational culture actually manages to deliver the same meanings throughout the organizational levels. Additional methods used include field notes, photography and participant observation. Results Organizational culture is both a structure and a process. It is needed to provide a structure of how to make sense of reality for every employee but is not only shaped by management. It is a process, which is always under constant change and must accept diverse meanings and hence there must be space for diverse meanings in the shared ones resulting in a recognizing instead of a blaming culture. Symbolic aspects, such as symbols, rites, slogans and stories, will increase the cultural understanding between management and employees but they should be so invisible that they become visible in daily behavior. Keywords Volvo IT, Organizational culture, meaning, symbolism, management, employees

Tasked with enforcing the criminal law against suspected offenders, public prosecutors have traditionally enjoyed broad discretion, which is usually structured by legal and policy guidelines defining rules prosecutors should follow when making their decisions. Basing its analysis upon direct observations and interviews in the two jurisdictions under study, this comparative thesis endeavours to understand how the French and Anglo-Welsh criminal justice systems attempt to combine the necessities of accountability for public prosecution services in modern democratic societies with the flexibility and reactivity needed in the application of the law provided by prosecutorial discretion. There have been few systematic, empirical accounts of the decision-making process of these national prosecution services. This thesis argues that neither system observed achieves a satisfactory balance between accountability and discretion for public prosecutors. In France, although democratic and hierarchical accountability channels are well developed in theory, oversight is weak due to the primacy of the concept of ‘adaptation’ in the legal culture and the strong professional ethos of procureurs as independent judicial officers. In England and Wales, public prosecutors are part of a highly bureaucratic and centralised structure which strictly enforces consistency in prosecutorial decisions at the expense of much discretion and autonomy for individual prosecutors whose responsibility is limited to narrow and repetitive tasks due to the segmentation of the prosecution process. This overbearing accountability structure, coupled with a historical balance of power in favour of the police, appears to prevent prosecutors from making decisions perceived as unpopular with their hierarchy or the police. Finally, pressure on resources and a drive for efficiency in both jurisdictions have resulted in the bureaucratisation of the criminal justice process with part of the prosecution workload being delegated to unqualified staff and minor cases being processed as quickly as possible into a one-size-fits-all system.

The purpose of this study is to analyse adult education and local government relations in Turkey, Britain and France. It is based on a method of comparative research which has employed primarily qualitative research techniques. The study attempts to bring macro and micro levels of analysis together in order to make a coherent and comprehensive analysis of educational practices in different societies. Each of the three societies under study have had then- own unique structures of education and politico-administrative systems which are the basis for the development of adult learning opportunities. Central governments in these societies are under pressure to respond to global, national and local requirements for education and training. The complex interaction of adult education-local government relations in different societies reflect their own historical traditions, emergent educational discourses, traditional modes of thinking, resource constraints and opportunities. The decentralisation of local government, education and adult education is a world wide trend. It translates into different kinds of practices in different kinds of society. This study explores the reasons of this. This study has shown that local government adult education (LGAE) policies should be based on the promotion of a decentralised, democratic and effective adult education service aimed at citizen empowerment and at building a learning society. The optimal balance between the central and local control of education, and between the vocational and democratic aims of education and training, has to be achieved. However, this balance has not so far been founded yet in any one of the societies under study.

This thesis explores co-production between citizens and third sector professionals (in community regeneration, parents’ organisations, and older people’s services) in Sheffield, England and Lyon, France. I employ an analytical framework of institutional logics to explore how the rules, practices and narratives of the organisations are specific to their contexts and how these shape co-production practices. The study finds that while the Sheffield organisations are characterised by an assimilation of the state, community and market logics, the Lyon organisations demonstrate a blend of a ‘Napoleonic state’ logic, and a ‘local solidarity’ logic. These combinations of logics illuminate two approaches to co-production. In France, co-production is informed by notions of citizenship, solidarity and participative democracy, leading to a greater focus on citizen involvement in organisational governance and influence of rules as an enabler and constraint to co-production. In Sheffield, co-production is seen as a way to improve communities, services and outcomes, and we therefore see more pragmatic attention to co-design and co-delivery activities. This thesis provides an important contribution to co-production theory and practice, by employing institutional theory to demonstrate some of the cultural and contextual subjectivity of co-production, and producing evidence of meso and macro level factors that influence co-production behaviour.

This thesis examines the occurrence, convergence and divergence of tropes of cultural pessimism in British and French letters over the two decades following the Second World War. Like other forms of pessimism, cultural pessimism is a consistently negative approach to the future here it refers to the prospects of culture as a whole, seeing it as being in decline. The specific cultural context surveyed here has received little critical attention in the already limited declinism scholarship as a time of sweeping change, it is a particularly revealing juncture that also suggests new tropes for the cultural pessimism range. Although Britain and France had arrived at the end of the war in rather different circumstances, in the following twenty years they underwent similar social, economic and cultural processes: cultural massification, decolonisation, modernisation, Americanisation, postwar reconstruction and Cold War positioning. These processes are taken as the basis for this ad hoc thematic comparison. The first section discusses cultural pessimism with reference to class and social structure it surveys discourses on Culture and popular culture and expands on two illustrative works: Jean Genet's Le Balcon and Alan Sillitoe's Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. In the second section, conceptions of national identity and collective memory come to the fore: similar reattachments to heritage, real or imagined, are explored through Angus Wilson's Anglo-Saxon Attitudes and Marguerite Duras's Hiroshima mon amour. The third section unpacks the morally ambivalent concept of youth along with the advent of youth culture and its greater adaptability to modernisation and Americanisation, and develops this alongside discussions of Boris Vian's L 'Ecume des jours and Colin MacInnes's Absolute Beginners.

Chargés de mettre en œuvre la loi pénale contre les personnes soupçonnées d’infractions, les procureurs bénéficient traditionnellement d’un large pouvoir d’appréciation qui est en général encadré par la loi et par des instructions hiérarchiques que les procureurs doivent suivre lorsqu’ils prennent leurs décisions. Avec une analyse fondée sur des observations et des entretiens dans les systèmes français et anglo-gallois, cette étude comparative vise à comprendre comment les systèmes de justice pénale étudiés s’efforcent de combiner les nécessités du contrôle des autorités de poursuites dans des sociétés démocratiques modernes avec la souplesse et la réactivité nécessaires à l’application de la loi résultant de la marge d’appréciation laissée aux procureurs. Il existe actuellement peu d’études empiriques et systématiques du processus de décision des autorités de poursuites. Cette thèse montre qu’aucun des systèmes observés ne parvient à un équilibre satisfaisant entre le degré de responsabilité et le pouvoir de décision des procureurs. En France, bien que le contrôle démocratique et hiérarchique des procureurs soit bien développé en théorie, il reste limité en pratique, en raison en raison de la primauté du principe d’individualisation dans la culture juridique et du statut professionnel des procureurs comme magistrats indépendants. En Angleterre et au Pays de Galles, les procureurs font partie d’une structure particulièrement bureaucratique et centralisée qui impose une stricte uniformité des décisions de poursuites aux dépens du pouvoir de décision et de l’autonomie des procureurs dont le rôle se limite à des tâches simples et répétitives en raison de la segmentation de la procédure de poursuites. Cette structure autoritaire de contrôle, conjuguée à un équilibre historique des pouvoirs en faveur de la police, semble empêcher les procureurs de prendre des décisions qui pourraient être mal vues par leur hiérarchie ou la police. Enfin, le manque de ressources et une recherche constante d’efficacité dans chacun des systèmes juridiques étudiés ont produit une bureaucratisation de la procédure pénale, certaines tâches étant déléguées à du personnel peu qualifié et les affaires mineures étant expédiées le plus rapidement possible selon un traitement standardisé

Анотація:

In 1973, the French government, in response to considerable pressure from small retailer interest groups, introduced legislation aimed at restricting the future growth of large area retail stores. The "Loi Royer" established a series of departmental planning commissions composed of retailer, locally elected, and consumer representatives. These commissions were given the power to authorise or reject planning applications for large retail units and extensions to existing stores, above certain size thresholds dependent upon the size of the commune in which development was to take place. The law allowed for an appeal procedure in which the Minister of Commerce and Crafts, advised by a national commission of similar composition, was the final arbiter. This thesis examines the impact of the "Loi Royer", with particular reference to hypermarket development in France. The spatial and structural growth of large stores, and large retail organisations is assessed, with case studies undertaken on the application of the law in the Brittany region, and the growth of the Carrefour group. The role and form of public policy in the retail sector in general is also considered. The composition of the commissions and proceedures established by the legislation provided considerable potential for influencing the development of large stores in France. However, whilst the legislation has had some short term and localised impact upon hypermarket development, in the long term, the restrictive effects of the law must be questioned. By exploiting various loopholes and failings in the legislation, hypermarket openings have continued, and the large retail groups have maintained their growth largely at the expense of the small retailer, whom the law was intended to protect. The legislation may also have indirectly encouraged numerous strategic adaptions, on the part of the larger retail organisations, which have served to further improve their position vis a vis smaller retailers, or introduced large retail groups into sectors traditionally dominated by independent traders.

Bien qu'appartenant à la zone « tempérée », la France et les îles Britanniques connaissent pourtant de nombreux excès climatiques. Parmi ceux-ci, les tempêtes hivernales font partie des aléas les plus destructeurs, en même temps qu'elles assurent un transfert d'énergie thermique de la zone tropicale vers les plus hautes latitudes. Pour mieux comprendre la climatologie de ce météore, une chronologie des tempêtes a été établie à partir des cartes des bulletins météorologiques quotidiens disponibles depuis la fin de l'année 1864. Plus de 2400 cas ont été identifiés, ce qui a permis d'évaluer la variabilité interannuelle et intra-annuelle de l'aléa. Les données de pression recueillies sur les cartes et leur analyse mettent en évidence le creusement des tempêtes au cours de la période. Les directions de vent figurées sur les cartes ont par ailleurs permis de réaliser des roses des vents pour une série de stations irlandaises, britanniques et françaises. La cartographie des minima de pression permet de faire apparaître des trajectoires privilégiées. L'étude climatologique s'achève par la recherche d'une cyclicité des tempêtes et par l'étude de leur lien avec l'ONA. Ce travail s'intéresse ensuite aux tempêtes qui ont fait événement pour les météorologues et/ou pour l'ensemble de la société du pays concerné. Ainsi sont mises en lumière les étapes de la compréhension de la météorologie des tempêtes. D'autre part, les tempêtes-événements retenues illustrent des évolutions économiques et sociales ainsi que les changements de gestion du risque tempête. Elles montrent aussi comment la culture du risque tempête s'est forgée et comment la mémoire du risque a parfois été réactivée
Through France and the British Isles belong to the « temperate » zone, they both experience a lot of weather hazards. Among those hazards, winter storms are some of the most destructive ones, but in the same time they contribute to the thermal energy transfer from the tropical zone to the mid-latitudes. As a result, they play a major role in the world's thermal balance. In order to better understand the climatology of these meteors, a storm chronology has been established from the daily weather maps that are available since the end of 1864. More than 2400 cases have been identified which has allowed to measure the year-to-year and seasonal variability. Pressure data collected from the maps and their analysis show a deepening trend of their core pressures over the period. Wind directions displayed on the maps for different weather stations have been used to generate wind roses for a selection of Irish, British and French weather stations. The climatological study ends up in the calculation of the periodicity of storms as well as their link with the NAO. This study focuses then on a few storms that have been considered has events, either for the meteorologists or for the entire population of the country hit by the storm. Thus is highlighted the different stages of the meteorological understanding of wind storms in Europe. Moreover, the selected storms as social events underline economic and social evolutions as well as changes in the risk management of storms. These storms also show how a risk culture has emerged and how the risk memory has been re-activated

China and France have both adopted the International Standards on Auditing (ISA). Thelargest firms in auditing and accounting in the world, known as Big Four, are established inFrance as well as in China. Auditors from those firms apply procedures that have beenharmonized worldwide within Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers, KPMG, and Ernst &Young. When it comes to audit, French auditor and Chinese auditor talk the same language,use the same software, boundaries seem to be knocked over. On the other hand, what BigFour firms are not able to standardize is the culture of their auditors. Does auditor’s culturemay shatter all efforts that have been put to deliver the same services throughout the world?Does auditor’s culture may call the work of the International Auditing and AssuranceStandards Board (IAASB) into question? Do either French or Chinese auditors enable ahigher audit risk to the audited client? Many other questions could be raised about the effectof cultures on the audit process.

The purpose of this research is to explore, measure and analyse the cultural impact on theaudit process. In order to highlight the difference(s) of the audit outcome due to culture,countries have to exemplify a certain numbers of cultural differences. China and France havebeen chosen because their belonging to the Eastern and Western clusters, and as we know,Eastern and Western countries have substantial cultural differences (Hofstede, 2001).According to Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, Individualism (versus Collectivism) andUncertainty Avoidance are the two dimensions that get the higher cultural differences whenhe compares Chinese and French Culture. We want to discover how Chinese and Frenchauditors rely on analytical procedures and assess audit evidence and internal controlenvironment. We want to study if their audit results reflect the cultural differences betweenChina and France based on the two cultural dimensions.

In order to manage our empirical research, we use a sample of 28 Chinese auditors and 14French auditors. We use primary data collection through our design questionnaire. Theauditors’ answers were analysed using a quantitative approach to reveal the eventual existenceof a connection between the auditor’s cultural background and how the audit process iscarried out.

Our findings about cultural differences within Big Four companies are not so categorical. We did not find significant differences regarding Chinese and French auditors’ culture. However,Chinese auditors appear to have a higher willingness to refuse a misstatement in the client’s financial statements, due to collectivism cultural dimension, than French auditors. Auditors from both countries assess in similar way audit evidence, but they do not consider of the same importance some components of the internal control environment. French auditors considerof greater importance components that can directly influenced the accuracy of the accountingreporting process, because an individualism society as France tends to “encourage”accounting and cut-off errors within organizations.

This dissertation is about the movement of people and the system of order underpinning the movement. In undertaking a comparative study of Canada and France between 1989 and 2005, the study explores a widespread phenomenon that security studies and migration scholars would have considered an anomaly only two decades ago: understanding the movement of people as an existential security threat. How is it that nation-states around the globe are cracking down on migration for security reasons? How do we know if migration has been securitized - and which criteria should we employed to guide our analysis? What are the social mechanisms at play in the interaction between movement and order? Does a variation in levels of securitized migration exist - and if so, what are the key determinants of the variation? These questions are at the heart of the present study. My argument is twofold. First, I contend that a constructivist perspective is useful in gaining a better understanding of the social mechanisms involved in the securitization of migration as it highlights discursive power, ideational factors, and cultural/contextual elements. Second, I argue that securitization theory - the current benchmark in securitization research - remains silent on the issue of variation in levels of securitized migration. As such, securitization theory, as currently applied and organized, cannot explain empirical findings of my study - a weak securitization in Canada versus a strong securitization in France. Underscoring the necessity to amend securitization theory, I investigate the impact of cultural factors - and especially the role of domestic audience - to account for the variation.
