Résumé : Cet essai propose un modèle conceptuel à deux dimensions comme cadre permettant de situer les articles consacrés à la dynamique de gestion des ressources en eau présentés dans ce numéro : exploitation capitaliste rapide et généralement monopolistique des ressources naturelles conduisant à l'intégration d'un territoire dans un marché régional, national ou mondial, accompagné par le développement d'un « piège hydraulique ». Ces deux éléments ont joué un rôle central dans le développement de l'histoire environnementale en tant que domaine d'enquête aux États-Unis, ce qu’illustre particulièrement bien l'histoire de la Californie, et ils peuvent être appliqués aux articles de ce dossier. Nés avec les fondements du travail des historiens de l'environnement dans les années 1980 et 1990, ils ont acquis un intérêt durable dans l'encadrement des discussions sur l'environnement et l'hydrologie dans l'Ouest américain et ailleurs. |
