Résumé -Cet article analyse l'influence du capital social dans la gestion des conflits au sein des systèmes d'irrigation autogérés à travers le cas du périmètre irrigué de Malanville au Bénin. Il montre que le capital social d'attachement est efficace lorsque le conflit est lié au non-respect des règles opérationnelles. Le capital social de contact contribue à la destruction du capital social d'attachement dans un conflit lié au non-respect des règles collectives et constitutionnelles. La médiation des services de l'État est alors nécessaire pour résoudre le conflit. Ces résultats suggèrent une nécessaire synergie entre les structures autogérées et l'État, pour la résolution effective des conflits.Mots clés : associations d'usagers de l'eau / Bénin / capital social / conflits / périmètre irrigué autogéré Abstract -Social capital and conflict management in the irrigated scheme of Malanville in Benin. This paper analyses the influence of social capital in conflict management within self-governing irrigation systems through the case study of Malanville irrigated scheme in Benin. It shows that water users valorize efficiently bonding social capital when a conflict relates to operational rules. Linking social capital contributes to destroy bonding social capital in a conflict related to collective and constitutional rules. State agencies mediation was therefore required to resolve the conflict. Results suggest that a synergy approach between self-governing systems and state agencies is necessary for a better conflict management.
