Abstract: The environs of the island of La Réunion are constituted by three concentric circles : the first comprises the south-west islands of the Indian Ocean; the second circle includes the large states which border onto this ocean, such as South Africa or India, and the third is made up of the area to the east. While the island enjoys close relations with regard to the first circle, exchanges with the States in the other circles are non-existent. It is, hence, understandable, why the crises which have shaken Madagascar and the Comores hinder considerably not only integration within this regional space but also the role that the island of La Réunion might play there.
