Résumé anglais In the Rhône-Alpes region a process of contractual definition of 'pays' (known as project territories) is underway. This process falls within the context of state attempts to undertake territorial reform, although above all it corresponds with a strategy of giving a territorial dimension to regional power. Initially it involves the creation of a typology of inter-regional spaces and the definition of a form of regional doctrine of territorial power. This is followed by local political negotiation to enable the definition on the ground of the limits of the 'pays' which are formally recognised by comprehensive development contracts. Scientific myths, socio-spatial objectivism and interactions between local actors are all inseparably interrelated in this process of 'manufacturing' territories.
