In this book, Florian Grisel addresses one of the most fascinating questions raised by social scientists in the past few decades. Since the 1980s, socio-legal scholars have argued that governance based on social norms (or \"private governance\") can offer an alternative to regulation by the law. On this account, private governance could be socially efficient and even optimal compared with other modes of governance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Limits of Private Governance\u003c\/i\u003esupplements this optimistic analysis of private governance by assessing the long-term evolution of a private order in the fishery of Marseille. In the last eight centuries, the fishers of Marseille have regulated their community without apparent means of legal support from the French state. In the early 15th century, they even created an organisation called the Prud'homie de P鹹he in order to regulate their fishery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on archival evidence, interviews and ethnographic data, Grisel examines the evolution of the Prud'homie de P鹹he and argues that the strong social norms in which it is embedded are not only powerful tools of governance, but also forces of inertia that have constrained its regulatory action.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe lessons drawn from this book will appeal to academics, policy-makers and members of the general public who have an interest in the governance of our modern societies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Florian Grisel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509938141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509938148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Florian Grisel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43982033846527,"sku":"9781509938148","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_150058d8-e243-4bc2-b15c-01ccc978cd6f.jpg?v=1683258901","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-limits-of-private-governance-florian-grisel-9781509938148","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
