- Abstract
Understanding environmental questions using the theoretical tools of the economics of proximity dates from the end of the 1990s, with contributions that renew recognition of the spatial dimension in the analysis of environmental problems. This article aims to provide a review of current research carried out in this area, and tries to outline some perspectives with regard to the respective roles of geographical proximity and organised proximity in the creation and regulation of environmental problems. The first section deals with the issue of 'geographical proximities and land use conflicts', which nowadays groups together the most successful studies, and the second deals with the role of organised proximities in relation to the regulation of environmental problems. The third section concerns the link between the uncertainty content of environmental problems and the relationships of organised proximity. The fourth section suggests some avenues of research, placing particular emphasis on the roles played by geographical proximity as a means of regulating environmental problems, and by organised proximity in creating these problems. The concluding section assesses the ruptures and developments that result from taking account of environmental dimensions in the economics of proximity paradigm.
