• Sommario/riassunto: This paper uses a partial equilibrium framework to evaluate the relative efficiency, distributional and revenue implications of rice tariffs and targeted transfers in Madagascar, especially in the context of identifying their respective roles for poverty alleviation. Although there are likely to be substantial efficiency gains from tariff reductions, these accrue mainly to higher income households. In addition, poor net rice sellers will lose from lower tariffs. Developing a system of well designed and implemented targeted direct transfers to poor households is thus likely to be a substan

• Sommario/riassunto: Où en est la recherche sociologique sur la famille et vers quoi tend-elle ? Quelle est la pertinence et la spécificité de l'approche sociologique dans la compréhension du fait familial au tournant du siècle ? Telles sont les principales questions auxquelles répondent les auteurs dans ce texte. Sur un plan théorique, ils observent un éclatement du champ de la sociologie de la famille en de multiples objets (la maternité, la paternité, le divorce, le mariage, etc.) et un isolement des chercheurs : ceux travaillant sur le divorce, par exemple, échangent peu avec ceux qui s'intéressent au désengagement paternel ou aux mères monoparentales. Cette tendance à la spécialisation vers des « sous-; objets familiaux » permet aux sociologues de développer une connaissance fine des processus qui influencent diverses dimensions des réalités familiales. Toutefois, elle rend difficile le travail de « reglobalisation » de l'objet famille. Sur le plan méthodologique, ils constatent la cohabitation d'une pluralité de méthodes et d'approches et de nombreuses ouvertures vers les disciplines périphériques. Finalement, selon les auteurs, l'un des apports les plus importants de la sociologie de la famille à la sociologie en général est de montrer que la famille constitue l'un des lieux privilégiés pour saisir la manière dont s'articulent, selon une foule de modalités, l'individuel et le collectif, pour rendre compte de la complexité des processus de reproduction humaine et sociale, de socialisation et de construction de l'identité. La sociologie de la famille révèle aussi les tensions et les contradictions entre divers acteurs sociaux, elle rend compte du relativisme des structures et des fonctions de la famille, de la multiplicité des formes familiales et témoigne du dynamisme de diverses sociétés à transformer, innover et refaire la vie familiale.; What is the current status of sociological research on the family and what direction is it taking ? What is the relevance and specificity of a sociological approach to understanding the family at the turn of the century ? These are the principal questions addressed in the present article. On a theoretical level, the authors comment on the fragmentation of the field of family sociology into multiple objects (e.g. maternity, paternity, divorce, marriage, etc.) and the isolation of researchers (those working on divorce, for instance, have little contact with those working on paternal disengagement of single-parent mothers). This tendency towards increasing specialisation and the development of family 'sub-objects' has enabled sociologists to develop a more detailed understanding of the diverse dimensions of family realities. At the same time, however, it has made it difficult to develop a global perspective on the family as object. On a methodological level, the authors comment on the coexistence of a plurality of methods and approaches and the openness of the sociology of the family towards peripheral disciplines. Finally, according to the authors, one of the most significant contributions of the sociology of the family to sociology in general has been to demonstrate that the family is an important site for understanding both the relationship between the individual and the collectivity and the complexity of processes of human and social reproduction, socialisation and identity construction. The sociology of the family also reveals the tensions and contradictions between diverse social actors, acknowledges the relativism of family structures and functions, the multiplicity of family types, and bears witness to the dynamism of diverse societies with respect to the transformation, innovation and reconstruction of family life.; Dónde se encuentra la investigación sociológica sobre la familia et hacia coude se dirige ? Cuál es la pertinencia y la especificidad de la perspectiva sociológica en la comprensión del hecho familiar en el fin de siglo ? Tales son las preguntas principales a las cuales responden los autores en este texte. En el plano teórico, ellos observan una dispersión del campo de la sociología de la familia en multiples objetos (la maternidad, la paternidad, el divorcio, el matrimonio, etc.) y un aislamiento de los investigadores : los que trabajan en el tema del divorcio por ejemplo, intercambian poco con los que se interesan a la falta de compromise, paterno o a las madres « cabeza de familia ». Esta tendencia a la especialización hacia « sub-objetos familiares » permite a los sociólogos desarrollar un conocimiento preciso de los procesos que influencian las diverses dimensiones de las realidades familiares. ; Sin embargo, ella vuelve difícil el trabajo de « reglobalización » del objeto familia. En el plano metodológico, los autores constatan la cohabitación de una pluralidad de métodos y perspectivas y de numerosas aperturas hacia disciplinas periféricas. Finalmente, según los autores, uno de los aportes más importantes de la sociología de la familia a la sociología en general es mostrar que la familia constituye uno de los lugares priviliegiados para comprender la manera en la que se articulan, según numerosas modalidades, Io individual y Io colectivo, para rendir cuenta de la complejidad de los procesos de reproducción humana y social, de socialización y de construcción de la identidad. La sociología de la familia revela también las tensiones y contradicciones entre los diversos actores sociales, ella rinde cuenta del relativismo de las estructuras y de las funciones de la familia, de la multiplicidad de las formas familiares y testimonia del dinamismo de diversas sociedades para transformarse, innovar y rehacer la vida familiar.
