Résumé anglais Natural Resources, Pastoralism and Social Evolution : the Case of Corsica. In this article dealing with Corsican pastoralism and its recent evolutions, the authors try to demonstrate the fact that each social system develops its own means of managing natural resources. They study, first, the grazing techniques made out by traditional communities. These techniques are, then, correlated with environmental factors (the seasonal yield of pastures) on the one hand and social organization on the other. The next part is devoted to the analysis of contemporary patterns of stockbreeding. The authors show that the outcome of these new patterns is the necessary adaptation to altered environmental conditions (mainly the spreading of scrub vegetation) and to economical and social change (the pressures emanating from the larger society).
