Abstract: Used by managers and scientists, the term ?paper park? describes protected areas that are considered ineffective on the basis of either their performance or the resources available. An international comparative analysis of 13 marine protected areas has made it possible to reconstruct the thwarted institutionalisation processes of six of them, identified as ?paper parks?. The analysis reveals three determinants of these situations, then three ideal-types of institutional configurations. We propose a definition of paper parks that takes into account the place-based resources generated by the institutionalisation, resources that can potentially be activated for the benefit of the resilience of a place-based conservation policy which, depending on the case, takes various forms. The concept of ?institutional bricolage? is mobilised to analyse the mechanisms of resilience: this leads to operational and then theoretical deductions, relating to the cross-analysis of the processes of bricolage, conflict and innovation.
