L’interdisciplinarité en pratique: un projet de recherche à Madagascar
This article, inspired by a field work, starts by trying to clarify some concepts (mono, multi, pluri, inter and trans-disciplinarity), before drawing some practical lessons. As an example, it presents the dynamics of deforestation in Madagascar, and more specifically, the case of Manongarivo Special Reserve (North-West of the island), the scene of a research project (“Political Ecology and Biodiversity”) between 1994 and 2003. As an object, the concept of deforestation is built socially and scientifically. It requires, for any team that adresses it, “interdisciplinary” thought, a deconstruction and a reconstruction process. A particularly difficult task when faced with concrete research practices

La gouvernance internationale de la biodiversité
La biodiversité est devenue un enjeu majeur des relations internationales. La nécessité d'assurer la sécurité alimentaire mondiale et le développement des biotechnologies ont transformé la diversité biologique en ressource économique. Mais les ressources nécessaires à son exploitation sont inégalement réparties. Les capitaux et l'industrie se trouvent au Nord, la matière première au Sud. L'industrie et les pays du Nord se trouvent dans une situation de dépendance stratégique. La solution consiste à mettre en place, dans le cadre de l'ordre économique mondial, un régime qui assure la conservation de cette ressource, permette son accès et offre des compensations aux pays du Sud. Ce régime a émergé dans une situation d'hégémonie et ses modalités reflètent la distribution asymétrique du pouvoir dans le champ de la biodiversité. Il tend aujourd'hui vers une situation de gouvernance, dans laquelle le pouvoir est plus diffus. Ces trois instruments théoriques, les champs sociaux, les régimes internationaux et la gouvernance, et leur articulation peuvent apporter une contribution à une économie politique internationale de la biodiversité, nécessaire d'un point de vue réaliste.Biodiversity has become a major stake in international relations. Needs for World food security and the development of biotechnologies have turned biological diversity into an economic resource. But the means for its exploitation are unequaly distributed : capital and industry in the North, raw material in the South. Northern industry and countries are thus placed in a situation of strategic dependency. The solution was to create, in the context of the World economic order, a regime that would guarantee conservation, access and compensation for Southern countries. This regime emerged in a situation of hegemony. Its characteristics reflect the asymetry of power in the field of biodiversity. But today it tends towards a situation of governance, where power is more diffuse. These three theoretical tools, social fields, international regimes, and governance, when articulated, may contribute to the emergence of an international political economy of biodiversity, a necessity from a realist perspective
