Applied Legal Pluralism

Processes, Driving Forces and Effects

By: Ghislain Otis,Jean Leclair,Sophie Thériault

This book offers a comparative study of the management of legal pluralism. The authors describe and analyse the way state and non-state legal systems acknowledge legal pluralism – defined as the coexistence of a state and non-state legal systems in the same space in respect of the same subject matter for the same population - and determine its consequences for their own purposes. The book sheds light on the management processes deployed by legal systems in Africa, Canada, Central Europe and the South Pacific, the multitudinous factors circumscribing the action of systems and individuals with respect to legal pluralism, and the effects of management strategies and processes on systems as well as on individuals. The book offers fresh practical and analytical insight on applied legal pluralism, a fast-growing field of scholarship and professional practice. Drawing from a wealth of original empirical data collected in several countries by a multilingual and multidisciplinary team, it provides a thorough account of the intricate patterns of state and non-state practices with respect to legal pluralism. As the book’s non-prescriptive approach helps to uncover and evaluate several biases or assumptions on the part of policy makers, scholars and development agencies regarding the nature and the consequences of legal pluralism, it will appeal to a wide range of scholars and practitioners in law, development studies, political science and social sciences.

Federalism and aboriginal governance

By: Martin Papillon

Cet important ouvrage bilingue explique et analyse divers aspects du rapport entre l'autodetermination des peuples autochtones et le federalisme comme procede d'organisation de la gouvernance. Les auteurs comptent parmi les juristes et les politologues les mieux etablis au Canada et aux Etats-Unis. Un premier groupe d'etudes s'interroge sur l'adequation ideologique et theorique du concept federal pour la redefi-nition de la relation entre les peuples autochtones et l'Etat. D'autres textes analysent les dimensions plus operationnelles de la mise en place et de l'application d'une gouvernance de type federal, tels les defis de la negociation d'ententes intergouvernementales, le role de l'individu comme acteur federal ou encore la tension entre la reconnaissance de la souverainete autochtone et le partage des competences et responsabilites entre le gouvernement federal et les provinces. Les textes reunis ici nous permettent de prendre la mesure du potentiel novateur mais aussi des limites du federalisme comme principe d'organisation de la coexistence entre les peuples autochtones et la societe euro-descendante dans le contexte nord-americain.
