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.  \u003ci\u003eThe Limits of Private Governance \u003c\/i\u003esupplements 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 Pêche in order to regulate their fishery.  Based on archival evidence, interviews and ethnographic data, Grisel examines the evolution of the Prud’homie de Pêche 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA fascinating contribution to research on governance and organisation … The book’s significance lies in Grisel’s intervention in debates on private governance, but more concretely in his deploying the \u003ci\u003ePrud’homie’s\u003c\/i\u003e long history to show how human experience can shape and drive institutions and in turn how institutions give those experiences form. -- Ciarán O’Kelly * Frontiers of Socio-Legal Studies *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART I GENESIS \u003cb\u003e1.
