Abstract
This article deals with the transition period between the withdrawal of the Italian administration and the arrival of its French counterpart following the alteration of the Franco-Italian border in the Southern Alps by virtue of the 1947 peace treaty. By focusing in particular on a disagreement over the use of pastures, it addresses the degree of state control over these relatively isolated highland territories and considers the institutional presence in these areas, highlighting the diversity of actors involved in this territorial dispute and the many different relationships to the territory and definitions of “national” interests that resulted from it.
