In their paper ``Groupes `boliques' et conjecture de Novikov'' [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I 319, No. 8, 815-820 (1994; Zbl 0839.19003)], \textit{G. Kasparov} and \textit{G. Skandalis} have introduced a property of metric spaces and groups called bolicity. This property is more general than Gromov's hyperbolicity. They were able to show that for such groups the Baum-Connes map \(\mu\) is injective and the Novikov conjecture holds. The present paper is the publication of a thesis written under the direction of Skandalis. It is a generalization of the results of Kasparov and Skandalis to bolic foliations with compact base and whose holonomy groupoid is Hausdorff. The paper contains detailed proofs and at one stage a simplification of the original argument of Kasparov and Skandalis.
