Abstract
To tackle successfully the difficult problem of turbulence and transport in fusion plasmas one requires a multidisciplinary approach which uses advances made in related fields, and to foster support for fusion because of the contributions it has made and will make to the understanding of turbulence. Progress in the theory of fusion plasmas turbulence is also a matter of extending modeling power by new analytical techniques instead of confining the methods to some few classical paradigms. In this article, we will present and discuss some approaches that have been developed in astrophysics, condensed matter physics and field theory and which could be applied to solve some complex issues of plasma turbulence.

Une approche pluridisciplinaire est nécessaire pour comprendre les phénomènes de turbulence et transport dans les plasmas de fusion thermonucléaire par confinement magnétique. Il est important de développer de nouvelles techniques pour aborder cette problématique au lieu de continuer à utiliser des modèles classiques paradigmes qui sont infirmés à mesure que la puissance des diagnostics expérimentaux augmente. Dans cet article, sans vouloir être exhaustif, nous présentons quelques approches développées en astrophysique, en matière condensée et en théorie des champs et qui peuvent s'appliquer à la problématique turbulence des plasmas chauds de fusion magnétique.
