Abstract

[eng] For reasons related to the dynamics of economy rather than to environmentalist concerns, the international trade in tropical timber has been affected from the end of the 70ies by a sound structural reorganization, which was quickened at the end of the 80ies and the result of which is a decrease of quantities exported together with important changes in the level of processing of products and in directions of trade. This reorganization, which corresponded to specific stratégies from producers and importers in the Pacific rim (the larger part of the world trade in tropical timber comes from South-East Asia for other asiatic countries), has been attended by voluntary statal policies related to these interests. [fre] Pour des raisons tenant plus à l'évolution économique qu'au souci de protéger les ressources dites naturelles, le commerce des bois tropicaux a entamé depuis la fin des années 1970 une restructuration qui s'est accélérée à la fin des années 1980 et qui se traduit déjà par une réduction significative des flux en matière, ainsi que par des changements importants dans le niveau de transformation des produits concernés et dans les destinations des exportations. Cette recomposition des échanges, qui répondait aux stratégies des producteurs et importateurs de la zone Pacifique - lesquels dominent le marché mondial des bois tropicaux - a été accompagnée par des politiques étatiques directives rendant compte de ces intérêts.
