Description
Summary:Managing the environmental externalities of the Nord – Pas de Calais coal field : a tentative approach in terms of proximity. The purpose of this article is to explore how the conceptual categories used in the proximity approach can be applied to such issues as the management of environmental externalities. The case study is the Nord – Pas de Calais coal field, a formerly industrial area. Consequently, we focus on the specific environmental damages in this area which is currently undergoing reconversion. The aim of this paper is to show that the uncertainty which is inherent to externalities induces some degree of weakness on the part of “organised proximities” at first, then the setting-up of specific forms of proximity via innovative regulatory tools. The contents of those proximities, their efficiency and their relevance to the local economic dynamics will be analysed successively.
