French term

relève de
I'm a little unsure as the meaning of this in this context.
De fait, toutes les ressources sont épuisables (produits miniers, pétrole, terres arables…) ou, pour le moins, réparties inégalement entre les populations (eau, sources d’énergies…). Une gestion coordonnée et responsable de leur exploitation est sans doute possible, mais la tentation de l’appropriation est grande. Et puisque les États en ont pris conscience, il semble illusoire d’espérer, sans agir, un apaisement des tensions géopolitiques. Dans ce contexte de rivalité quelle est la place du commerce (et donc des emplois) ? Et qu’est-ce qui relève de l'accès aux ressources et des intérêts proprement stratégiques ?
Does it mean 'what will become of' or 'who will have authority over' or 'pertain to' or have I completely missed the mark.
Thanks for your help.

Non-PRO (1): GILLES MEUNIER
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
