This article discusses integrated socio-territorial intervention as an intervention strategy in the fight against poverty. It sheds light on some action perspectives and takes a look at transversal stakes on explored practices. Three sources of empirical analysis on diverse practices in social development and integrated revitalization have fed this reflection. The goal here is not to present the results of those studies but to propose a reflection on this intervention strategy using the teachings and observation of the initiatives that were studied by situating the emergence of the paradigm of integrated territorial and social intervention; by exposing the action perspectives that are deployed and by exploring transversal stakes.
