En 1871, la France subit l'une des plus grandes défaites de son histoire. La protection du pays et la formation du contingent imposent de profondes réformes qui se matérialisent par l'édification et l'établissement de nombreuses infrastructures militaires, fortifications, casernes, hôpitaux ou terrains. Or, les départements frontaliers du Nord et du Pas-de-Calais, qui constituent désormais le territoire du 1er corps d'armée, sont originaux à plusieurs titres. Leur abondant patrimoine guerrier n'est guère modernisé et les emprises de l'armée restent les mêmes qu'au début du siècle. Cependant, l'essor économique, démographique et urbain de la région explique l'existence de concurrences entre l'armée et les habitants. Ces derniers ont le sentiment de vivre sous la menace et de supporter de nombreuses contraintes, sans pour autant nier les profits qu'ils tirent de ces infrastructures militaires. L'urbanisme, la vie politique, la santé publique ou les loisirs sont des sujets récurrents de débats, dans lesquels se mélangent le vécu et l'imaginaire. En fonction de son sexe, de sa localisation, de sa classe sociale ou de son âge, chaque habitant entretient une relation particulière avec l'immeuble militaire. Espérant un allégement du poids de l’armée, les élus, de mieux en mieux organisés, critiquent et influencent la perception de ces établissements. Ces pressions aboutissent à leur remise en cause et à un déclassement progressif de cette frontière. Le développement du Nord-Pas-de-Calais prime donc sur sa défense, ce qui explique en partie son invasion en 1914 / In 1871, France sustains one of the worst defeats in its History. The protection of the country and the formation of recruits demand serious reforms which translate into the construction and settlement or numerous military infrastructures, fortifications, barracks, hospitals and military sites. And yet border departments of Nord and Pas-de-Calais, which hereafter form the district of the 1st Army Corps, stand out in many respects. Their substantial military heritage has undergone little upgrade, and military land hasn’t expanded since the beginning of the century. However, economic, demographic and urban expansion explains why there is competition between the army and the population. The latter feel like they live under threat and have to bear multiple constraints; nevertheless they also acknowledge the profits they make from military settlements. Urban planning, political life, public health and entertainment are frequent subjects of debate, in which both the real and the imaginary are mingled. Depending on their gender, geographical location, social class, and age, each inhabitant maintains a particular relationship with the military facility. The elected representatives, who are increasingly organized, criticize and influence the public perception of these facilities, in the hope to alleviate the burden imposed by the army. These pressures result in the military infrastructures being called into question, and the border being progressively decommissioned. The development of Nord-Pas-de-Calais thus takes precedence over its defence, which partly explains its invasion in 1914

A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of African Languages at the University Of Zululand, 2017 / The research is basically looking at respect and culture as building blocks of the Zulu nation. The main focus is on the impact of the historical and contemporary socio-cultural practices. Chapter one is the introduction of the research topic where the following sub-topics form part of the research proposal: background to the study, the problem statement, the purpose of the study, delimitation of the study, the study methodology, beneficiaries of the study, division of the chapters and the conclusion. Chapter two deals with formations and transformations in nation building by looking at beliefs, indigenous knowledge systems, mythology, culture and history. Chapter three is based on Whites supremacism and its influence on social , political, historical and industrial patterns. Whites came with systems aimed at controlling the psychological reactions of Africans and conditioning them to think of their culture as inferior and inadequate to deal with challenges that face them. Chapter four is looking at home as the point of departure for all socio-cultural activities. Family is home based and a key for social unit. Home is viewed as the source of primary education where respect is learned. Chapter five is based on the promotion, consolidation, development and valuing of cultural heritage, norms and values by utilization of available resources in order to restore culture of respect. Chapter six deals with the challenges facing the culture of respect which derive from misinterpretation of human rights acts, high level of crime, the abuse of drugs and alcohol, imperial ideologies, urbanization, western culture and civilization. Chapter seven covers the findings of research, recommendations of the research and the conclusion of the research.

L'été 2006 fut marqué par la consécration jurisprudentielle de la notion d'identité constitutionnelle de la France par le Conseil constitutionnel. Cette dernière constitue une réserve de constitutionnalité destinée, au même titre que les conditions essentielles d'exercice de la souveraineté nationale, à réguler l'intégration du droit de l'Union européenne en droit interne. Or, son aspect largement défensif doit être relativisé. En effet, la possibilité affirmée de pouvoir opposer au droit européen une règle ou un principe inhérent à l'identité constitutionnelle française ne saurait résumer à elle seule la finalité de la réserve. Celle-ci apparaît comme étant une notion fonctionnelle adaptée à la régulation des rapports de systèmes juridiques faisant de l'identité une norme nouvelle permettant tant la conciliation des ordres juridiques en présence, que la préservation des singularités fondamentales de la Constitution française. / The summer of 2006 was marked by the judicial adoption of the concept of constitutional identity of France by the Constitutional Council. The latter is a reserve for constitutionality, as well as the essential conditions for the exercise of national sovereignty, regulate the integration of EU law into national law. But its largely defensive aspect must be relativized. Indeed, the possibility of power asserted against European law rule or principle inherent to the French constitutional identity can not summarize alone the purpose of the reserve. It appears as a functional concept adapted to the regulation of relations legal systems that identity as a new standard for reconciling legal orders concerned the preservation of fundamental singularities of the French Constitution.
