The major aim of this article is to examine how migrations affect private governance, taking as a case study the Prud'homie de pêche, a private order that has governed the fishery of Marseille for the past six centuries. Scholarship generally argues that social norms guarantee the efficiency of private orders and their ability to resist the arrival of newcomers. My data suggest that the Prud'homie has failed to accommodate social changes prompted by migratory flows, not despite but because of its social norms. This paper suggests that social norms are not only powerful tools of governance for private orders, but also forces of inertia that can prevent these orders from accommodating social changes.

移民如何影响私人秩序：马赛渔业的规范和实践

本文的主要目的是研究移民如何影响私人治理，以过去六个世纪以来统治马赛渔业的私人秩序Prud'homie depêche为例。奖学金通常认为，社会规范保证了私人秩序的效率及其抵抗新移民到来的能力。我的数据表明，尽管有社会规范，但由于移民潮而导致的社会变革未能适应。本文认为，社会规范不仅是治理私人秩序的有力工具，而且还是可以阻止这些秩序适应社会变革的惯性力量。
