Abstract

[eng] Ecology and socio-political choices - The movement in favour of ecology is part of the dynamic impetus of changing values. Present values are marked by the influence of economics. No new values have as yet been acquired involving the abandoning of other values linked to economic affairs, but there is an accumulation of values with priority given to the defence of acquired values. . The policy in favour of the environment seems to be the result of many varied forces, with various motivations that are sometimes ambiguous. . The environment which is the privileged place for the influence of external forces must also be considered as a field of sociopolitical forces. . Such an attitude leads to certain criteria of choice and analysis being revised. In particular the analysis of costs and advantages must be abandoned or completed by a socio-dynamic type analysis aimed at showing up the interaction of various forms of reasoning and non-converging interests and at considering the "rule of the game" as being at stake in situations that may rise to conflict. . Unlike the historico-relative nature — reversible and depending on given circumstances of the rules set up there appears the irreversible and variegated character of man's influence on this environment. [fre] Le mouvement en faveur de l'écologie s'inscrit dans une dynamique des changements de valeurs. Or les valeurs actuelles sont très marquées par la force de l'économique. Il n'y a pas encore eu semble-t-il acquisition de valeurs nouvelles (moyennant l'abandon d'autres valeurs liées à l'économique), mais accumulation de valeurs (avec priorité à la défense des valeurs acquises). . La politique en faveur de l'environnement apparaît comme la résultante de forces multiples, ayant pour ressort des motivations diverses, parfois ambiguës. . Lieu privilégié d'exercice des effets externes, l'environnement doit aussi être considéré comme un champ de forces socio- politiques. . Une telle optique conduit à réviser divers critères de choix et d'analyse. L'analyse coûts-avantages, en particulier, doit être abandonnée ou complétée par une analyse de type socio-dynamique, visant à mettre en lumière l'interaction de rationalités diverses et d'intérêts non convergents, et à considérer la « règle du jeu » comme enjeu," dans le cadre de situations à caractère conflictuel. . A l'opposé de la nature historico-relative, contingente et réversible des règles édictées, se manifeste toutefois le caractère irréversible de multiples actions de l'homme sur son environnement.
