Dans le souci de construire une solidarité au sein d’une société plurielle du point de vue des trajectoires historiques comme de celui des normes et de représentations, l’intégration de la coutume dans l’ordre juridique interne nécessite une adaptation mutuelle de la coutume et du droit commun. La construction de ce destin commun nécessite d’intégrer la coutume, sans pour autant la dénaturer, tout en amenant le droit positif à embrasser les règles coutumières. Cette problématique constitue une constante dans les sociétés plurielles du Pacifique, notamment en Nouvelle-Calédonie… mais également dans d’autres régions du Pacifique et du globe. Dans ce contexte particulier, le droit de l’environnement constitue certainement, de plusieurs points de vue, une des disciplines les plus appropriées pour aborder ces questions. Il permet d’évoquer aussi bien le lien très fort unissant les sociétés traditionnelles à la terre, que les préoccupations actuelles de la société contemporaine relatives à la dégradation de l’environnement. De plus, la spéculation foncière, un développement économique et social hétéroclite (urbanisation et migrations urbaines et internationales) et une évolution des rapports à la terre sont des problématiques importantes auxquelles une société plurielle en mutation doit faire face. Par ailleurs, les sociétés autochtones sont dépositaires d’un savoir unique concernant leur environnement, particulièrement en ce qui a trait au fonctionnement des écosystèmes. Ce savoir traditionnel, tout comme la relation qui unit les peuples autochtones à la terre, à la faune et à la flore, est désormais reconnu comme un élément important de la planification des projets, de la gestion des ressources naturelles et de l’évaluation environnementale. Le renouvellement théorique de l’appréhension du droit apparaît ainsi incontournable afin d’optimiser l’effectivité de la norme environnementale, en recherchant son appropriation par l’ensemble des composantes de la population, favorisant ainsi l’émergence d’un sentiment d’appartenance à une solidarité, tout en respectant le droit à la différence. Colloque organisé avec le soutien de la Mission de recherche Droit et Justice.

This book focuses on the legal and social aspects of corporate governance through doctrinal and empirical research papers presented at the 9th International Conference on Governance Fraud Ethics and Social Responsibility held at National Law University Delhi in 2018. The papers encompass the internal and external factors that affect the interests of a company’s stakeholders, including shareholders, customers, suppliers, government regulators and management, and several other important players. The book provides better clarity on the concept of corporate governance and how it is intertwined with factors such as sustainability, social responsibility and the role of government, taxation and audit, and shareholder engagement.

"A title deed = tenure security. Or does it? This book challenges this simple equation and its apparently self-evident assumptions. It argues that two very different property paradigms characterise South Africa. The first is the dominant paradigm of private property, referred to as an 'edifice', against which all other property regimes are measured and ranked. However, the majority of South Africans gain access to land and housing through very different processes, which this book calls social or off-register tenures. These tenures are poorly understood, a gap Untitled aims to address. The book reveals that 'informal' and customary property systems can be well organised, often providing substantial tenure security, but lack official recognition and support. This makes them difficult to service and vulnerable to elite capture. Policy interventions usually aim to formalise these arrangements by issuing title deeds. The case studies in this book, which span both rural and urban contexts in South Africa, examine these interventions and the unintended consequences they often give rise to. Interventions based on an understanding of locally embedded property relations are more likely to succeed than those that attempt to transform them into registered tenures. However, emerging practices hit intractable obstacles associated with the 'edifice', which only a substantial transformation of the legal paradigms can overcome."--Back cover.
