Il s’attarde sur le contexte d’une renaissance ainsi que sur les innovations conceptuelles et thématiques impulsées par la Commission. Un regard complémentaire est porté sur le cheminement parallèle et indépendant que constituent la géopolitique lacostienne et la revue Hérodote. Au-delà de l’institutionnalisation de la géographie politique en France, l’article conclut sur les nouveaux problèmes et les nouvelles perspectives post-2010 affectant cette branche de la science géographique. Abstract : This paper recounts the history of the Commission on Political Geography (French National Committee for Geography) since its founding in 1984 within the more general framework regarding the political geography’s development after its reappearance in France during the 70s. It stresses on the context of a revival as well as the conceptual and subject innovations which were pushed by the Commission. It analyses too the parallel and independent route taken by the Lacoste’s geopolitics and the review Hérodote. Beyond the political geography’s institutionalization in France, this paper concludes on the new post-2010 problems and prospects which affect this area of the geographical science.
