Les ambivalences des coordinations locales entre négociation, conflits et enjeux de pouvoir. Le cas des partenariats constitutifs d'une génopole à Toulouse

Abstract: This article brings to light the main plurality of the interest and power conflicts which can burst out among public and private actors involved in a local development plan. Local coordinations indeed depend on the nature of the conflicts in stake, on their neither more nor less diffused characteristic, and on the local actors capacity to find through a negotiation process an agreeable compromise. By the way, if negotiation contributes to solve these conflicts, it is otherwise a real way of power relations instrumentation and leads to largely ambivalent coordinations. The case of the partnerships composing the Toulouse genopole shows that if negotiation is arbitral, the stability of local coordinations depends upon a very fragile equilibrium between domination and concession relations. This contribution brings to light the strategic contents of local coordinations. Classification JEL : R 11, R 58, L 65.
