Abstract

This article examines the governance of plastic bags in Madagascar, highlighting the disjunction between the ecological ambition of the legal framework and the ineffective reality of its enforcement. Despite the adoption of strict regulations since 2015, the country remains entangled in a regulatory maze where overlapping, poorly coordinated decrees generate confusion rather than impact. Drawing on field observations and institutional analysis, the paper identifies systemic bottlenecks, institutional contradictions, and the fragility of enforcement mechanisms. The plastic ban thus emerges as a revealing case of environmental governance in crisis, caught between symbolic politics and administrative inertia.
