Dans cet article, j'analyse, à l'aide des données de l'Enquête canadienne sur le don, le bénévolat et la participation (cycle 2004 et cycle 2007), les effets de certaines caractéristiques des communautés sur le bénévolat que font leurs habitants. Une fois plusieurs facteurs individuels neutralisés, les résultats démontrent qu'en 2004 le bénévolat diminuait en fonction de la taille de la population, de l'importance des inégalités de revenus et de la proportion d'habitants nés à l'étranger. Par contre, les chiffres de 2007 indiquent que ces caractéristiques n'avaient aucun effet significatif sur le bénévolat, ce qui suggère que les grandes villes canadiennes gèrent de mieux en mieux l'augmentation des inégalités de revenus et la diversité des lieux de naissance de leurs habitants.

Abstract
This paper presents an experiment measuring how lab-induced group identity affects trust and trustworthiness in a repeated trust game with random matching. Identity had positive in-group and negative out-group effects on trust. However, the in-group effect was small and statistically insignificant, while the out-group effect was large. Trustworthiness was determined mainly by reciprocity effects.

In his day, Raphael Cilento was one of the most prominent and controversial figures in Australian medicine. As a senior medical officer in the Commonwealth and Queensland governments, he was an active participant in public health reform during the inter-war years and is best known for his vocal engagement with public discourse on the relationship between hygiene, race and Australian nationhood. Yet Cilento's work on tropical hygiene and social welfare ranged beyond Australia, especially when he served as a colonial medical officer in British Malaya and in the Mandated Territory of New Guinea. He also worked with the League of Nations Health Organization in the Pacific Islands and oversaw international social welfare programs for the United Nations. On one level, this professional mobility allowed ideas and practices of public health and government to circulate between colonial spaces of northern Australia, the Pacific Islands and Asia. On another, it meant that Cilento's Pacific colonialism and colonial experience shaped his understanding of Australian national health and welfare. Rather than attempt a comprehensive biography of Cilento, this book instead uses this border-crossing career as a means to explore several material and discursive facets of Australia's relationships to the Pacific and the world.
