I there engaged in the literature about the public authority disengagement. I demonstrated that the innovative EU instrument could be analyzed as a recentralization of the authority on public actors.

Ce faisant, l'action européenne perturbe fortement la régulation d'un secteur qui s'était progressivement privatisée. La thèse défendue ici est que ce changement de politique publique par une de la régulation conduit à une relation conflictuelle avec les autorités privées de la régulation et les firmes de l'industrie ayant investi dans ces instruments. Par conséquent, face à des autorités publiques redéfinissant les contours de l'intervention européenne, les acteurs privés doivent relégitimer leurs pratiques et instruments aux échelles nationales et européennes par un travail politique de problématisation et de politisation. Doté d'une telle entrée analytique, il est alors possible de suivre les acteurs à travers les échelles de régulation et ainsi de comprendre comment ils construisent les intérêts représentés.

Sectoral actor interactions and change: Recentralization of European Rule Making to counter illegal logging Abstract : In 2003, the EU approved the Action Plan to counter illegal logging by strengthening international cooperation and national authorities. In so doing, the EU regulation could look like it deeply challenges the global governance of forest which had progressively been privatized. As regards these instrumentation, I argue that recentralization of power in the regulation of the sector has lead to a contentious relationship with private rulemaking. Here I demonstrate how the EU FLEGT regulation had emerged as part of a change in the governance. Consequently, private actors had to legitimize their practices and instruments through undertaking, at multiple scales, the political work of problematization and politicization. From this perspective, I follow actors' representations of 'problems', and how they built interests and political work across scales of regulation, and this in order to understand how policy instruments were defined.

The Southern Europe Forest Owners Union (USSE) is a transregional organization which brings together private forest owners organizations from Galicia, Basque Country, Aquitaine, Castilla and Leon and Catalonia in order to create a network for the sustainable management of private forests in that sub region (horizontal perspective). The purpose of the USSE is also to represent the interests of its members at the different decision making level from the national and European levels to the international level (vertical perspective).

Through many programs of research (FORSEE, SEARCH…), the SEFOU works to improve the knowledge of forests lands, of sustainability, of multifonctionality and to improve the competitiveness of its members. Indeed, the new approach to forests and their management has involved introducing a new kind of participation in the definition of the path to sustainability and the use of new norms and methods in EU.

The aim of our proposal is to highlight the displacements of regulatory decision-making between superior levels (top-down logic) and the political work undertaken by USSE and its members (bottom-up logic) to make progress on the ‘competitiveness’ of ‘sustainability’. A multi-level governance description could not describe closely the process of USSE legitimation. Drawing on a sociological theory of decision making and sectoral regulation, we will describe the USSE “territorial institutionalism” (Carter and Smith, 2008) approach in order to study its political usage of territory.

Based on empirical case study in a French Caribbean island, named Guadeloupe, our study analyses the climate policy integration and urges greater consideration of the issue on the existence of so-called 'new' climate policies, thus fuelling debate on the potential emergence of a new climate-oriented public policy sector. Our discussions also foster analysis of the idea of mainstreaming international climate change governance concepts in national (Biesbroeck et al., 2010) and local (Wilbanks, 2003) policies. The Guadeloupean case study consequently focuses on analysing inter-level and -sector interactions, such that “transversal policies enhance the 'territorialization' process regarding public policy and activity areas, in turn challenging historically established sectoral boundaries” (Hassenteufel, 2011). In Guadeloupe, the State plays a critical leadership role in coordinating climate policy efforts and integrating climate change into bureaucratic and institutional structures to ensure timely and effective outcomes, that is to say that climate policy is integrated within existing structures and programs. However, but that it is not a "strong" strategy because, first, policy instruments such as MAEC (mesures agro-environnemenales et climatiques) are grabbed by bananas sector. In this way, the banana sector deprives other agricultural sectors of activities that could allow them to develop a climate policy for Guadeloupian agricultural sector. Second, adaptation of climate change is forgotten in vertical climate policy integration with the European, national and regional policy level. Finally, Adaptation to climate change is not a priority in the local agenda; she finds herself relegated behind other themes (health, development, Sargassum ...) and it is once dealt with the other emergencies settled

From the latter perspective, the forest industry is solicited to pursue the carbon neutrality of its activity (through the Exchange Trade System). Today, public policies have thus led the forestry industry to develop green energy by biomass cogeneration. Cogeneration is the simultaneous production of electricity and heat, both of which are used in paper-making. The aim of policy is to extend such production of electricity to cover domestic consumption. Such a path makes the forest and paper industries go deeper in the sustainability of their activities but it also makes them develop new strategies. From the point of view of political science, this new policy and industrial orientation can be best examined through analyzing the making and implementing of the territorial environmental strategies that cover both certification and forestry programs. In industrial terms, such a strategy not only challenges current practices of local resources provision and the valorisation of wood wastes, but more fundamentally still it constitutes the development of a new path, a new market and new constraints (in terms of norms and competition). The aim of our proposal is to highlight the displacements of regulatory decision-making between superior levels (top-down logic) and the political work undertaken by political enterprises on the ground (bottom-up logic). At the same time, analysis will encompass the normative environment and the convergence of green politics with competitive opportunities in the forest-wood-paper system. The paper will explore these political, normative and industrial issues linked to the new energy strategy through local case studies of globalized paper mills (Smurfit-Kappa, Tembec, Gascogne paper), located in Europe's largest human-made forest (the Landes de Gascogne), which began to go down this path in 2008.

Le principe porte par cet agenda est gestion durable des forets, c'est-a-dire des interactions durables entre les ecosystemes forestiers et les societes.

It starts by giving a brief overview of the international forestry regime, trade agreements, the Rio conventions, and forestry principles. Subsequently, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) tools for forest assessment and the World Bank Forestry Strategy are discussed. Further, timelines for various regional and international Criteria and Indicators (C&I) for SFM and trade in forest products are highlighted. Finally the leading international voluntary programmes for forest certification are described. From this review, it is clear there is a gap in the international forestry regime, there is an urgent need for an international legally binding forest convention which will guide Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) programmes at the local, national, regional and international/global scale. Here, we argue that FLEGT can catalyse these fragmented elements of an international regime as the EU FLEGT action plan provides a framework to catalyse all dedicated and cross-cutting issue instruments in national forest policy.

At first glance, this EU intervention appears to profoundly challenge the global governance of forestry, which has been progressively privatized. However, I argue that a recentralization of power in the regulation of the sector has led to a contentious relationship between public and private policy-making. Here I demonstrate how the EU FLEGT regulation emerged as part of a change in the complex governance of forests. Consequently, I analyze the collective nature of European intervention and its effects on the complex governance of forestry and wood industry trade practices.

In 2003, the European Union approved the Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Action Plan in order to counter illegal logging and related trade. This EU legislation may appear as profoundly disruptive of the global governance of forests because it challenges private rulemaking. Private rule-making is no longer recognised as proof of legality but becomes legal only after evaluation and negotiations with the EU and timber-exporting countries. Despite appearances to the contrary, this legislation reflects an even deeper opposition to private rulemaking. Indeed, the EU FLEGT Regulation constitutes a recentralisation of power towards public authorities within the polycentric global governance of forests. This research finding was reached by drawing upon international relations and public policy literature to propose an analytical framework for future research on power displacement and competition within the global governance of forests. From this perspective, I have followed the participation of actors across scales of governance and grounded my work in qualitative methodology, using material drawn from the scientific and expert literature and interviews with stakeholders and EU institution representatives.

Il possède un PhD (France, 2001) en géographie des transports maritimes sur le thème des gouvernances portuaires sud-américaines. Entre 2010 et 2013, il dirige un programme ANR sur l'évolution des gouvernances portuaires en Europe et des mutations qui en découlent dans l'organisation des communautés portuaires. Il publie un ouvrage aux Editions du CNRS en 2014 : Gouverner les ports de commerce à l'heure libérale. Depuis 2016, il co-anime, avec Pascal LOPEZ (directeur), l'Observatoire Hommes Milieux Littoral Caraïbe et oriente ses travaux sur les problématiques de transition écologique dans le secteur de shipping et les espaces portuaires. Il coordonne, avec Iwan Le BERRE, le programme TRAFIC, financé par la Fondation de France (2019-2021), sur les interactions entre circulations maritimes, fréquentations portuaires et inégalités environnementales dans les Caraïbes. L'Observatoire Hommes-Milieux Littoral Caraïbe • 1 3 9 Résumé La contribution entend décrire un exemple de collaboration entre acteurs scientifiques et acteurs du territoire, dans le cadre d'une recherche dite participative. Avec la science dite « citoyenne » et celle dite « communautaire », la recherche participative fait partie des trois formes de collaboration entre sphère académique et non académique. Elle se distingue des deux autres par l'implication en amont et en aval du processus de recherche scientifique engagé. Les Observatoires Hommes-Milieux, crée par le CNRS au milieu des années 2000, constitue des dispositifs de production scientifique inscrits dans des territoires. Ils offrent les possibilités d'un dialogue fécond entre science fondamentale et problématiques territoriales. L'OHM Littoral Caraïbe, centré sur l'archipel guadeloupéen, s'intéresse en partie aux interactions entre le monde maritime et portuaire et l'environnement. Le fonctionnement de l'OHM a permis la construction d'un partenariat avec des acteurs du territoire, telles que l'Union Maritime et Portuaire de Guadeloupe, la Direction de la Mer, les différentes collectivités locales et autres associations présentes sur le territoire. Ces collaborations ont permis le développement d'un programme de recherche, soutenu par la Fondation de France : TRAFIC, Transports Maritimes, Fréquentations portuaires et Inégalités environnementales dans les Caraïbes qui, sur la base du traitement de données AIS, pose l'hypothèse de l'existence d'une vulnérabilité portuaire, dès lors qu'il s'agit d'organiser la transition écologique dans le secteur du shipping.
