This paper addresses the geographical stakes which animate cooperation between municipalities. This contribution updates work of Guy Baudelle (1996) and Philippe Menerault (1994) by establishing a new panorama of the intercommunality question through the contribution of geographers. The examination of articles being interested in the intercommunality, published in many reviews of geography, enabled us to draw up a synthesis of the concerns of the discipline on historical, identity, organisational and space dimensions of the cooperation between municipalities.

La géopolitique du foncier : pouvoirs et échelles d’action

When it comes to land management, successive reforms to territorial governancehave resulted in power games that have placed intercommunalauthorities in charge of coordination without any clearly defined institutionalhierarchy. The interviews conducted with actors in the territories studied(the Communauté de communes [joint local authorities] of the Vallée deChamonix Mont-Blanc, Pays du Grésivaudan and Massif du Vercors) and ouranalysis of the public policy tools they use highlight the change in scale thathas occurred in land management. We argue that the geopolitical stakes ofland have been elucidated with the constitution of dedicated engineering,which invites us to distinguish between the…
