Abstract

The case study presented here is that of a small pastoral area called Sénowaly, in the first administrative and economic region of Mail, on the south-west frontier of Mauritania. The first part of this paper describes the evolution of land tenure in the Sénowaly area and the second presents the attitude of custom in the face of the need for development.
