<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Abstract<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A democratic society is one in which there is respect for the rule of law and a commitment to values enhancing social cohesion. It needs to be underpinned by public policies aimed at the general good, including reduction of inequality.
Institutional arrangements are critical, but do not in themselves solve all challenges on the ground. This is particularly the case in societies undergoing decolonisation. In the multicultural society of New Caledonia, whilst the process of 'rebalancing' may
appear to have been implemented to a large degree at the political level, social rebalancing has not been achieved. Certain indicators make this clear: ongoing poverty, delinquency, marginalisation and poor educational outcomes for parts of the population.
Whatever the outcome of the referendum on self-determination, social issues remain crucial if the decolonisation process is to be successful.<o:p></o:p></p>
