Le présent numéro traite de l'association du droit de la terre et des ressources naturelles, et de la préoccupation environnementale. Le LAJP reprend ainsi l'un de ses axes de recherche fondamentaux : le droit foncier, dont l'approche intégrant les règles relatives au sol et celles aux ressources naturelles renouvelables apparaît comme la condition d'une gestion durable de ces ressources essentielles dans nombre de pays, en Afrique notamment. Ce positionnement de la recherche foncière est aussi celui de chercheurs appartenant à d'autres institutions tel que l'IRD. A côté de la décentralisation de la gestion foncière qui s'impose progressivement comme une caractéristique fondamen...
