Dynamiques du peuplement, libéralisation économique et décentralisation dans les deltas de l'Asie des moussons

Abstract: The deltas and irrigated valleys of monsoon Asia are areas of dense population concentrations. The large plains have considerable advantages that favour human expansion, assuming that their hydraulic systems are properly harnessed. The plains have been developed by societies organised within the framework of different political regimes, which have to varying degrees managed to put to value their huge agricultural potentials and exploit the rent from great commercial networks. The conditions of their valorisation have however changed during the last twenty years, with the issuing risk of endangering their fragile environment due to the onslaught of urbanisation and industrialisation.
