L'appropriation des normes du développement durable depuis les territoires ruraux périphériques au Mexique

Abstract

This paper addresses the logics and processes through which normative models aiming at organizing the production of public policies are appropriated and reformulated at the territorial level. We focus on sustainable rural development (SRD) policies, which provide relevant empirical illustrations of these processes of territorialization of public action in Mexico. Global norms of sustainable development are subject to multiple processes of interpretation, hierarchization and reformulation, involving actors at all levels of political and territorial organization. The paper pays special attention to how these processes are included within the long-term history of relations between these territories and public policy measures.
