    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.

    The Transformation of the World Steel Industry from the Twentieth Century to the Present

    Les changements dans la sidérurgie mondiale ont été plus rapides à la fin du XXe siècle que dans toutes les périodes antérieures. Le colloque « les mutations de la sidérurgie mondiale du XXe siècle à nos jours » vise à faire le point scientifique des mutations intervenues dans tous les domaines de cette industrie. Son ancrage dans la période contemporaine permettra une réflexion pluridisciplinaire et comparative sur les origines et les formes du changement.La démarche comparative est essentiellement historique, mais également ouverte à d'autres disciplines comme la géographie, l'économie, la gestion d'entreprises, la sociologie, les sciences de l’ingénieur, etc.
