Although still in a provisional form, as befits a field of study still undergoing consolidation, the text tries to summarize the results that emerged from the contributions collected in the volume and from their comparison; outlining, even before real conclusions, a series of clues, cues and problematic issues with which scientific reflection will have to face in the near future. Therefore, they are to be read as many beginnings of research paths, to be followed towards a plausible way of including ecosystem services in the bioregional planning of the territory.

"In Bioregionalism and Civil Society Mike Carr outlines an alternative to the economically, environmentally, and politically unsustainable movement of globalization. He argues for the potential of bioregionalism as a place-specific, social, cultural, and community economic movement within democratic civil society that can stand in opposition to the homogenizing trends of corporate globalization. He also explores the bioregional movement in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, examining its vision, values, strategies, and tools for building sustainable societies." "By integrating civil society theory with social and natural ecologies, Carr offers a practical approach to creating an economically, environmentally, and culturally sustainable world. Bioregionalism and Civil Society addresses and urgent need in industrialized societies for both theoretical and practical frameworks that promote new, sustainable methods of living."--Jacket.

La plupart des habitants d'un pays développé ne sait pas d'où vient l'eau qui coule au robinet, où partent les déchets jetés à la poubelle, quels types de sols sont sous nos pieds, quand est la prochaine pleine lune, quand planter quels légumes, quel oiseau chante le matin à nos fenêtres. Parler de biorégion, c'est se demander où et avec qui nous vivons en ce sens large, pour réapprendre de ces lieux où nous sommes - et pour cohabiter avec d'autres vivants. Une biorégion, c'est un lieu de vie où toutes les parties prenantes s'efforcent de vivre ensemble de façon pérenne. En repartant des bassins-versants, des microclimats, des types de sols, de la vitalité de la faune et de la flore, nos territoires habituels se redessinent.

La métropolisation du monde a bouleversé les paysages. Les villes sont désormais géantes et leur étalement sans fin. Nos existences se déroulent dans ces cités irriguées de réseaux invisibles d’acheminement d’eau, d’électricité et de nourriture. Mais depuis ces îlots de production et de consommation, que reste-t-il de nos liens avec le vivant ? Et si l’horizon bitumé n’était pas le seul futur possible ? L’urgence sociale et écologique nous enjoint de mobiliser de nouvelles échelles d’existence afin d’inventer d’autres formes de sociétés en commun : réhabiter le monde. Pour insuffler un nouvel imaginaire et réparer les liens et les lieux, ce livre explore la vision biorégionale, élaborée il y a un demi-siècle dans le creuset de la contre-culture californienne. Abordé ici dans sa dimension cosmopolitique et permaculturelle, le biorégionalisme se fonde sur la nécessité d’entrer dans un rapport de résonance avec la terre : savoir où et de quoi l’on vit et ce qui vibre sous nos pas. Réhabiter la terre, c’est se penser comme hôte cohabitant et non comme propriétaire, dans des sociétés écologiques ouvertes. À travers un exercice prospectif appliqué à l’Île-de-France se déploie un nouvel imaginaire de la métropole. En 2050, le territoire francilien est désormais éclaté en huit biorégions quasi autonomes sur le plan alimentaire à base de low tech et à échelle humaine. Engagé dans une vision émancipatrice, l’ouvrage invite à une remobilisation politique.
