Les limites de la généralisation du modèle d’Ostrom de gouvernance des biens communs : le cas du transport fluvial

International audienceThe governance of the commons has been studied mostly focusing on one main issue: the tragedy of the commons. This paper proposes to examine the governance of the commons in terms of a different aspect, which is their action in a network. This paper focuses on the particular case of inland waterway transport infrastructure. After identifying inland waterway infrastructure as a specific category of commons, the paper studies the transferability of Ostrom’s model of commons governance to the infrastructural commons used in inland waterway transport on France’s main gateway corridors.La gouvernance des biens communs s'articule autour d'une notion clé : la tragédie des biens communs. Cet article propose d'examiner la nature de cette tragédie dans un cas particulier : les infrastructures de transport et de logistique regroupées au sein des corridors logistico-portuaires. Après la caractérisation des infrastructures logistiques en tant que bien commun, ce papier étudie la transposabilité du modèle de gouvernance des biens communs de Ostrom (2010) au cas des communs infrastructurels mobilisés dans le transport fluvial sur les principaux corridors logistico-portuaires français

Terraced Vineyards in Europe: The Historical Persistence of Highly Specialised Regions

This contribution analyses the spread, origin and evolution of the most important European terraced viticulture complexes. Found in Mediterranean, Atlantic and continental areas, the terraces dedicated to viticulture owe their localisation to recurring geographical\u2013environmental and historical movements in the different regions. Proximity to market outlets and to waterways were the key elements in their origins and distribution. The reasons behind the construction of the great viticulture terraced areas then guided the evolution of their twentieth-century history. In terms of the elements involved, the most influential inherited factors appear to be strong land fragmentation and the early entry into favourable commercial circuits
