This book illustrates why and how informality in governance is not
necessarily transitory or temporary, but a constant in most systems
of the world. The difference between various administrative
structures is not whether informality is present or not, but where,
in which areas, it is located. The essays gathered in this volume
demonstrate that, in some cases, informal mechanisms are
self-protective, while, in others, they are perceived as normal
responses and a set of tactics for individuals, classes, and
communities to respond to unusual demands. Where expectations of
the state, a company, or some commission are too far from citizens'
existing models of normative behaviour, informal behaviour
continues to thrive. Indeed, new tactics are adopted in order to
cope with disjunctions between theory and reality as well as to
serve as contrasts to values imposed by a centre of power, such as
a central state, a city administration, or the management board of
a large company. The focus of the papers contained in this book is
two-fold and rests on an analysis of phenomena manifesting
themselves "beyond" and "in spite of" the state. The first part
deals with areas where the state is not always, or only marginally,
active whilst the second analyses activities performed in conflict
with state regulations (ie: behaviour often studied from a criminal
and legal standpoint).
