The Rahui: Legal pluralism in Polynesian traditional management of resources …

While tapu had been extensively discussed in the scientific literature on Oceanian anthropology, the rahui is quite absent from secondary modern literature. This situation is all the more problematic because individual actors, societies, and stat…

Tax, Social Policy and Gender : Rethinking equality and efficiency
Gender inequality is profoundly unjust and in clear contradiction to the philosophy of the ‘fair go’.
