Work experience
My research focused on environmental legal regulation in the South (Sahelian Africa, Morocco and French Guyane) and in France (Cevennes, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence). Three key aspects emerge from my work based on site investigations, a spatio-temporal data processing and an approach oriented research :_x000D_
1) The analysis of a holistic approach to the law, the definition of a legal character in a legal pluralism : the right "hard", "soft" endogenous right (legal customs and habits). A juridicity defining itself through mandatory standards and membership (soft) and models of traditional and individual behavior._x000D_
2 ) Analysis and formalization of a negotiated environmental law. Based on the relationships between the various coexisting legal systems (legal pluralism), the concern of the research has focused on the relationship between local legitimacy (customs provisions) and national law. To overcome this dichotomy to allow the emergence of local governance of natural resources, has been made in situ experiments in local environmental agreement (Senegal), charter « territory » (Morocco) and support for charter the Guyane Amazonian park._x000D_
3) Analysis of a common heritage in a right perspective for sustainable development. Control over natural resources and land (in rural areas) often based on logical community before any form of private ownership. Indeed, private in the southern regions studied (Sahel, Moroccan High Atlas, Amazon) property was not widespread and social groups often organize collective management (residential or lineage of origin) shared resources (land, grass, wood, water, fish, game, ... ). The territorialisation of space makes a distribution of rights between groups and individuals. _x000D_
My main areas of research in African and Amazonian . In a comparative perspective and recovery,
