In the context of ever increasing interest for reuse worldwide, this paper examines existing practices in France through selected case studies in an attempt to identify valuable lessons that could be learned from this experience for other countries or organisations seeking to encourage reuse. Well designed and flexible regulations to promote reuse combined with state of the art technology, operational know-how and expertise are identified as key ingredients for the success of individual projects.

Resumen:Este trabajo pretende dar una visión diacrónica, crítica y comparativa de los dispositivos de acogida a los alumnos de origen inmigrante, que se establecieron en Francia treinta años antes que aquí y comprobar, aunque las condiciones contextuales sean distintas, si los puntos problemáticos son o no los mismos que en España, en cuanto a las posibilidades de inclusión en el sistema educativo en general. Tras una introducción sobre los antecedentes de los dispositivos de acogida, aún en una fase previa de rodaje, presentaremos la normativa, en el caso francés, centralizada, sobre los dispositivos que aparecen en 2002 y que rigen hasta 2012. En el tercer epígrafe hemos realizado un análisis crítico de la puesta en práctica de los mismos, a partir de dos estudios de caso realizados en la banlieue parisina, de diversos informes y de varias investigaciones llevadas a cabo en Francia. Para concluir, compararemos la situación francesa con la española, aunque no contemos aun con trabajos completos y globales sobre los dispositivos en nuestro país.Abstract:This paper intends to offer a diachronic, critical and comparative view of the reception arrangements for immigrant students as established in France thirty years before they were implemented in Spain. It also intends to verify, even though contextual conditions may differ, if the issues encountered there and then were the same or different to those experienced in Spain, as to the possibilities of inclusion in the educational system. After an introduction that describes, the background of the reception arrangements, still in a preliminary testing phase, it sets out the regulations, which, in the French case, is focused on the arrangements in force for the period 2002 - 2012. A critical analysis of its implementation, based on two case studies conducted in the Parisian banlieue, several reports and research works carried out in France, is included in the third section of this paper. Finally, we have compared French and Spanish scenarios, even though we cannot still rely on finished and general studies on these arrangements in our country.

As a physical manifestation of political, social, and economic forces, architecture has been affected by globalization in the same ways as other fields. It has succumbed to thecriticismofthehomogenizationofitsproduct,andarchitectscontinuetosearchfor relevance in this new global context. However, as globalization matures in the twentyfirstcentury,sodoestheunderstandingoftheneedforculturalidentity.Asnewcomplex contexts arise, they require a sensitive understanding of the forces in play, in order to continue to create humanistic interventions in the built environment. While some may consider global practice a threat to local environments, given today’s complex conditions, the lines between local and global begin to blur together. Thus, it can be arguedthattrans-nationalpracticeenhancestheabilitytorespondsensitivelytointricate political, social, and urban contexts which are now more common than ever. Two Sino-French case studies are used here to demonstrate this phenomenon; one in China and one in France.

ABSTRACTThis paper addresses the issue of corporate sustainability. It examines why achieving sustainability is becoming an increasingly vital issue for society and organisations, defines sustainability and then outlines a set of phases through which organisations can move to achieve increasing levels of sustainability. Case studies are presented of organisations at various phases indicating the benefits, for the organisation and its stakeholders, which can be made at each phase. Finally the paper argues that there is a marked contrast between the two competing philosophies of neo-conservatism (economic rationalism) and the emerging philosophy of sustainability. Management schools have been strongly influenced by economic rationalism, which underpins the traditional orthodoxies presented in such schools. Sustainability represents an urgent challenge for management schools to rethink these traditional orthodoxies and give sustainability a central place in the curriculum.
