Abstract
Cet article se penche sur l′état actuel de la gouvernance des pêches en Asie du Sud, dans la perspective du pluralisme juridique. Il s′appuie sur des recherches ethnographiques effectuées dans six districts côtiers de l′Inde et du Sri Lanka et s′intéresse plus particulièrement à l’état et la distribution des ressources. Nous notons que les interactions entre les systèmes étatiques et non-étatiques varient entre l′indifférence, le conflit, le compromis et le soutien mutuel. Aucun des modes de gouvernance étudiés ne semble être en mesure de stopper ou inverser la tendance à la surpêche, malgré certaines innovations positives constatées au niveau local. La situation est plus encourageante en ce qui concerne la distribution des ressources. Nous notons que l′équité dans la répartition constitue une préoccupation majeure pour la plupart des systèmes juridiques non-étatiques des pêcheries d′Asie du Sud, et que les organismes d′État ont tendance à intervenir lorsque les autorités de la pêche non-étatiques échouent dans leurs efforts redistributifs. Nous concluons que tant la préservation que la distribution des ressources nécessitent une coopération accrue entre les organisations étatiques et non gouvernementales.
