State-building, social movements and political economy
Modernity was marked by the edification of increasingly complex and sophisticated state system, committed to governing territories and populations, through a multiplicity of administrative, fiscal, police and judicial networks. At the same time, new mechanisms for legitimizing political power emerged, based on the building of a public sphere and the dissemination of different forms of collective organization and mobilization: from associations to petitions, from political demonstrations to strikes and riots. Finally, a new regime of production and consumption was created in the form of a Political Economy directed to the creation of markets, the movement of goods and the accumulation of capital.

Changes and continuities in contemporary Public Administration
As pretext of commemorating the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Secretariat for Administrative Reform in Portugal (1967) is time to reflect on the national and international reforms that took place during the 20th century and aimed to make them more adapted to their objectives and needs. In this way, the meeting seeks to constitute a moment of reflection on these issues, considering its multiple dynamics at national and international level, in a multidisciplinary perspective.

Government by Expertise: Technocrats and Technocracy in Western Europe, 1914-1973
Technocracy is the political swearword of our times. From the multiple crises of the European Union to the recent elections in the United States, the role of experts in public governance is often invoked as one of the main sources for the political ills of contemporary society, responsible for the exacerbation of social inequalities, the decline in the acceptance of political institutions, and the rise of populist movements. This conference will look at the genealogy of technocracy and the trajectories of various groups of “experts” in western Europe’s mid-20th century.

Wages, labour markets, solidarity in European construction since the end of the 1960s
The financial crises faced by Greece, Italy and Spain since 2010 have caused a vast movement of reforms both at European and national levels. Three aspects are of particular importance : increasing public financial transfers through the institution of intervention funds to support the economies of the States in difficulty ; the reduction of the deficits and debts of Member States ; reforms of labour markets and social protection in the States in difficulty. It is on this last point that this working Group intends to focus in a historical perspective. This working Group will seek to consider how patterns of negotiation among European States have emerged from the late 1960s and early 1970s on this issue.

History of the Finance Ministry during the Giscard, Years 1970-1981 (2011)
Oral history and history of the administration
Dans le cadre du séminaire Archives orales et histoire des organisations à l’EPHE, le semestre janvier-juin 2011, coordonné par F. Descamps (EPHE) et Laure Quennouëlle-Corre (CNRS/CRH) sera consacré pour la troisième année consécutive à l’histoire du ministère des Finances pendant les années Giscard (1970-1981). Cette année, ce sont trois grandes directions « économiques » du ministère qui retiendront plus particulièrement l’attention : trésor, budget, prix et concurrence. Le rôle de ces administrations centrales dans la définition, l’élaboration et l’application des politiques économiques et financières menées par le gouvernement français dans cette décennie sera questionné à partir des travaux existants en histoire, en économie et en science administrative et à partir des témoignages oraux des acteurs de l’époque invités à exposer leur point de vue et la compréhension qu’ils ont eue de leur activité et de leur temps. -
The Organisation of Agricultural Markets: the Office du Blé Model
De la crise des années 1930 à l’entrée dans le marché commun
Les Comités d’histoire de l’office du blé et des offices organisent en avril 2012 à Montreuil-sous-Bois (France Agrimer) un colloque consacré au modèle que constituerait l’office du blé dans la régulation des marchés du blé et des céréales, depuis l’élaboration des premiers projets à la fin des années vingt jusqu’au début des années soixante, avec la mise en œuvre d’une politique agricole européenne. Trois principaux axes de recherches ont été retenus : le premier relatif à l’histoire de l’office et de ses acteurs, le second concerne plus largement la régulation des marchés agricoles à l’échelle nationale et européenne et le troisième les enjeux politiques et idéologiques qui accompagnent la création et le fonctionnement de ce type d’organisation. -

The Memory of the Great Strike, Winter 1960-1961 in Belgium
De gedachtenis van de grote Winterstaking 1960-1961 in België
En Belgique, cinquante ans après ce que certains ont appelé la « grève du siècle », la mémoire de l’événement laisse lentement mais sûrement la place, du fait de la disparition de la plupart des témoins et acteurs directs, à l’histoire de celui-ci. Le temps de la réflexion scientifique critique sur ce qui constitue incontestablement un moment clé dans l’histoire contemporaine de la Belgique et l’un des plus grands conflits sociaux et politiques du siècle passé peut trouver un nouvel élan en regard des problèmes généraux qu’a connus la Belgique depuis lors.
