Au Maroc, l’intérêt porté au thème des communs est assez récent même si, traditionnellement, l’accès aux ressources partagées était régulé par des principes communautaires issus des règles coutumières (orf) et/ou des normes du droit islamique (chraa) (Lazarev, 2005 ; Rachik, 2016). La gestion collective des ressources agrosylvopastorales s’inscrit dans la longue histoire de la paysannerie marocaine, où les communautés humaines, structurées en tribus, jouissaient durant la période précoloniale d’une relative autonomie de décision par rapport à l’État central (makhzen).

Violent conflicts between nomadic herders from northern Nigeria and sedentary agrarian communities in the central and southern zones have escalated in recent years and are spreading southward, threatening the country’s security and stability. With an estimated death toll of approximately 2,500 people in 2016, these clashes are becoming as potentially dangerous as the Boko Haram insurgency in the north east.

Legally recognized and secure land and resource rights are fundamental to the advancement of global peace, prosperity, and sustainability. From the development of human cultures to the realization of democracy itself, tenure security underpins the very fabric of human society and our relationship to the natural environment.
