In a lapse of a few decades, deep changes have occurred in the treatment of dangers which may affect human communities. Whereas since the end of the XIXe century there was a continuous progression ofthe treatment of these dangers through their approach as risks, one notes today an erosion of these procedures which, on multiple plans (technical, scientitic, economical, political), made it possible toconsider certain forms of control. All seems indeed lo occur as if the work of domestication of collective dangers undertaken with the generalization of the concept of risk found its limits. The are several reasons explaining this situation. The nature even of dangers significantly changed, making more problematic their approach in the form of risks. But also, and in a bound way, the difficulty in containing new dangers within the framework of risk management led to exploration of other methods of treatment of dangers, in particular by new actors mobilizations around these questions which tend to become major topics in modern societies.
