| Résumé anglais |
The drought offers a convenient "explanation" and justification for regional change. However, it is still necessary to be sure that this is automatically accepted by societies. This is not the case in Mauritania where patterns of migration and permanent settlement respond to processes which are more complex and subtler than the sweeping changes imagined by a decline in rainfall. Even the options for regional development reveal a diversity of situations leading to regional specialisations. In the same context, an ancient form of spatial organisation in the Sahelian - Saharan area has reappeared : local complementarity within a society based more on exchange than on production.
