International audience ; This paper examines the notion of gated communities and more generally, privately governed urban neighborhoods. We do this by reviewing the idea that they are an innovative built-environment genre that has spread globally from a diverse set of roots and influences. These include the mass growth of private urban government in the USA over the past 30 years; rising income inequalities and fear in big cities; the French Condominium law of 1804; and many other locally and culturally specific features of urban history. We contrast the popular notion that gated communities are simply an American export with the idea that they have emerged in various forms for different reasons in different places. We contrast supply-side and demand-side explanations, focusing on the idea that much of their appeal comes from the club-economy dynamics that underpin them. We examine the social and systemic costs – territorial outcomes – of cities made up of residential clubs, considering in particular, the issue of segregation. We conclude with a reflection on the importance of local variations in the conditions that foster or inhibit the growth of a gated community market in particular countries.

This paper critiques Holmes' (1997, pp. 26—45) chapter in Virtual politics: identity and community in cyberspace, which addresses differences between 'communities of broadcast and communities of interactivity'. The perspective adopted is informed by my extensive (140-interview) ethnographic survey of remote Western Australia following the (1987) introduction of broadcast television. Holmes' (1997, pp. 33—34) argument is that "what has been largely ignored is an appreciation of the property of broadcast's power of individuation (or metro-nucleation) of the population . the ascendancy of the Internet can be explained precisely by a new kind of commodification – the sale of lost levels of community back to the consumer." This is a seductive argument – and Holmes makes many other exciting and insightful comments – but it is not borne out by the experience of those in remote Western Australia, one of the last populations in the globe to receive television broadcasts.

In this book, life in peripheral communities is examined from a wide range of research perspectives. Scholars studying social, ecological, cultural and economic aspects, from prehistoric to modern times, contribute to create a comparative perspective on life in peripheries. Some of the articles focus on forest communities in northern Sweden, but studies from other parts of the world form a substantial part of this volume. The publication is the outcome of the multidisciplinary conference Peripheral Communities: Crisis, Continuity and Long-Term Survival, which took place in the small Swedish village Ängersjö in August 14–17, 2003. Central themes of the conference were: •• Resource management in peripheries •• Ecology – technology – local knowledge •• Social organisation – property relations, inheritance patterns and gender •• Socio-economic strategies in internal and external relations •• Motives to live/stay in peripheral communities •• History and culture – an asset and/or a drawback •• Local political culture and the public sphere •• Conflict resolution – the use of legal and local systems •• Value systems and traditions •• Relations to state and market •• Diaspora, collaborative communities and networks Host of the conference was the interdisciplinary research project Flexibility as Tradition: Culture and Subsistence in the Boreal Forests of Northern Sweden, funded by the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation. The project has studied the flexible, composite, and changeable character of economic activities and resource utilization in the forest districts over a long temporal perspective.

By the Rome treaties of March 25, 1957, which established the European Economic Community (EEC or common market) and the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom), five major institutions were created to serve the Communities. Three of these organs, the Assembly, the Court of Justice, and the Economic and Social Committee, were to be the same for both Communities, under the conditions respectively laid down in the two treaties, while the other two institutions, the Council and the Commission, were to remain separate. According to the Convention which dealt with the institutions common to the Communities, the Assembly was to replace the Common Assembly of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), and the Court of Justice was to replace the Court provided for in the treaty establishing ECSC. The Economic and Social Committee was to serve only EEC and Euratom since ECSC was already served by a comparable body, the Consultative Committee.

The European Parliamentary Assembly met in ordinary session from May 12 to 14, 1959, at Strasbourg. One of the principal points on the agenda was the proposed creation of a European University. While it was admitted that, for the time being, it was essential for the proposed institute to concentrate on nuclear and technical research, most of the speakers agreed that the European University should progressively be extended to include other branches of learning such as European law. Furthermore, the University should not be limited to Six-Power Europe but should be open to professors and students from all the countries of Kurope. In a resolution adopted at the close of the discussion, the Assembly requested the executives of the three Communities and the Councils of Ministers to unite their efforts to create a European University destined to serve the interests of the European Communities and their overseas countries and territories, through the development of scientific and technical research, the study of social and economic science, philosophy, and history, and the elaboration and development of Community law.

Written as a professional reference book and a case textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in a variety of disciplines, Sustainable Communities contains detailed case studies of communities in U.S.A., Europe, and Asia that have become sustainable. In most cases, these communities are either off the central power grid or will be by 2010, and are examples of what regions, cities, towns, and communities - such as colleges, businesses and shopping malls - can do to become sustainable. The book provides a vast amount of materials and data including design, and the legal, economic, and technologic aspects of how environments become sustainable. It provides the general public with a multi-disciplinary perspective and understanding of sustainable development from actual cases, along with some well-established resources and tools. - BOOK JACKET

The second half of the adjourned May 1958 session of the European Parliamentary Assembly was held June 21 to June 27, 1958.1 After holding two ballots, it was decided to recommend Brussels as the site of the European Community's institutions and the future capital of six-nation Europe. The resolution passed by the Assembly recommended that: the executives of the three Communities be grouped in one place; the Assembly's secretariat be located in the same place where the Assembly's standing committees would also meet; the capital be a European district similar to the District of Columbia in the United States; and there might be reasons to hold plenary sessions of the Assembly outside the chosen place, and while in principle all the Community's institutions should be situated in that place, the Court of Justice, the Investment Bank, and the European University could be situated elsewhere if that would facilitate the concentration of the political bodies in one place.
