Is there a future for the law? 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.
The Limits of Private Governance supplements 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 Peche in order to regulate their fishery. Based
on archival evidence, interviews and ethnographic data, Grisel
examines the evolution of the Prud'homie de Peche 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. The 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.
