A striking feature of social relations in a northwestern Turkish community occurs in the sphere of moral or religious life. While there are many accounts of religious life in the context of official Islamic doctrine, a wide range of less official beliefs and activities are practised along with formai Islam in the community of Sakli. Magic or büyü designates a range of activities with aims and purposes which do not emanate from the authority of orthodoxy. The value and meaning of büyü is located in attempts to subvert or alter situations that are the product offate, or the actions of more powerful actors. In this context this article illustrates how local villagers take their projects to a hoca (lit. religious teacher) who attempts to shape fate more to their liking, for a fee. In their practice of assisting resistance to what is ’written’ in codes or decided by the powerful, hoca often borrow Qur’anic prayers to support their clients’ projects. Written prayers are used as objects that can effect goals, such as protecting villagers from misfortunes, finding ’appropriate’ mates, casting love spells, and occasionally causing harm. I argue that büyü challenges the collusion between official Islamic authority and mainstream local morality.

Over recent years the discourse of government policy-makers on the issue of unemployment has become transformed from a moral problem of social equity and the rights of citizens to an economic cost, necessary for a more efficient economy, useful in controlling inflation. This shift represents one outcome of a continual tension between social equity for the ostensibly free and equal citizen on one hand and preserving the "efficiency" of the economy on the other. The shift in the discussion of these cultural themes by policy makers has had an effect on the perspectives of the larger population.

Le développement à la mode occidentale a atteint les rivages des petites îles du Pacifique. En se servant de l’exemple des Iles Salomon, l’auteur évalue les impacts du développement sur le bien-être économique et social de ce petit pays. Il compare le modèle monolithique de développment à l’occidentale, basé sur l’exportation de ressources naturelles et de richesses, à une approche pleine de bon sens basée sur le savoir-faire et les qualifications locales et qui permettrait la mise en place d’une forme de développement à petite échelle mais durable.
