  Modelling and benchmarking of borders

  Belgeo 2-2013

  L'étude des espaces transfrontaliers se fait souvent en référence à un contexte propre, dans la mesure où chaque frontière peut difficilement être analysée indépendamment du cas toujours particulier des États en présence, des organisations régionales, locales et d'une certaine histoire. L’objectif de ce numéro spécial de Belgéo est d’évaluer comment dépasser la démarche monographique et parvenir à une modélisation de ces espaces.

  Regional Water Management and Adaptive Management

  How to deal with multi-scalar issues?

  This seminar aims to discuss the interactions between regionalisation of water management and adaptive management. Regionalisation embeds many scales of time and space, which have to be combined to improve and change stakeholder practices. The seminar will bring together international specialists to analyse how adaptive management can deal with institutional, technical and political multi-scalar issues in order to foster change of practises. This seminar is organised in partnership with AgroParisTech Clermont-Ferrand, INRA-SAD and UMR METAFORT.
